When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1894

Chapter 1894 Could She Be Faking It
Only then did Nathaniel let it go.

As they stepped outside, Nathaniel carefully examined Cecilia's scalp. Cecilia gently brushed his hand away. “I told you, I'm really fine. It was just a little tug. Besides, she's clearly unstable—no point in getting worked up over someone who's out of their mind.”

“All right.” Nathaniel nodded, though his gaze stayed dark and intense. Even if he said he'd let it go, in his mind, he was wishing Stella would suffer a thousand times over.

Truthfully, Cecilia wasn't as calm as she looked. Something about Stella's behavior had felt off.

<i>Could a person who's genuinely insane show that kind of look?</i>

Before they left, Cecilia turned to the director. “Does Stella have any history of violent tendencies?”

The director shook his head. “Not at all. She's been pretty cooperative since arriving. She almost never causes conflict with other patients. If someone does bother her, she usually avoids them.”

Cecilia nodded thoughtfully. “Thank you.”

The director asked, “Was there a problem earlier? Did she try to hurt you?”

Cecilia didn't bother hiding the truth. “Yeah, she pulled my hair. I think she needs to be calmed down a bit.”

“Understood.” The director gave an order right away.

“I used to know a doctor who specialized in this,” Cecilia added. “He told me that some patients respond better when paired with another patient.”

The director had already heard from Zachary that Stella was trouble. He nodded. “That's a good point, Mrs. Rainsworth. Consider it done.”

Only then did Cecilia leave.

Not long after, the director assigned Stella a new roommate—a patient with a history of violent tendencies.

Back in the car, Nathaniel looked over at Cecilia and asked seriously, “Do you think she's really insane? Or just faking it?”

Cecilia didn't answer right away. She looked over at him instead. “What about you? Do you have a theory?”
