When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1874

Chapter 1874 Cut Ties
Allison tried to redial, but the call wouldn't go through.

Zeke asked hastily, “How is it going?”

“Meredith is determined to cut ties with us,” Allison replied, irritation flashing in her eyes.

Conrad grew impatient. “Daddy, Grandma, I want to go home. I want my plane. When can we go back?”

Zeke snapped, “Stop it. Can't you see we're dealing with a crisis here?”

But Conrad couldn't care less. “I want Mary's apple pie. Bring her back.”

After the Turner family went bankrupt, Zeke had let Mary go.

Allison quickly tried to soothe her precious grandson. “Sweetie, just wait a little longer. We'll have Mary make it for you soon.”

“No, no, I want it now...” Conrad, as spoiled as ever, wouldn't take no for an answer.

“All you do is eat! I swear I'll smack you!” Zeke exploded.

That was the first time Zeke yelled at Conrad. His crying stopped instantly—only to return louder than before. Soon, his wails filled the room, and no amount of coaxing could calm him.

The Turners were utterly drained—physically, emotionally, and financially.

But the creditors weren't nearly as forgiving.

The very next morning, Turner Manor faced foreclosure.

In the blink of an eye, Zeke went from being a small business owner to a man without a home.

Allison, overwhelmed with frustration, fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.

Conrad, inconsolable, sobbed uncontrollably—crying to go home, crying for Meredith.

Only now did the child truly grasp how well he'd been cared for when she was around.

But it was far too late.
