When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Standing Up For Him
Nathaniel had left around noon, claiming that he had some last-minute work to attend to.

Cecilia looked at Elena, seated on the couch, exuding an air of superiority. Listening to the latter's tone, she couldn't help but retort sarcastically, “You were the one who dumped Nathaniel here. What right do you have to criticize me over how I've been taking care of him? As long as I don't let him starve or freeze to death, I've fulfilled my obligations as his spouse.”

Elena was left speechless, momentarily at a loss for words.

A moment later, she rose to her feet, looking around. “Where's Nathaniel? I'll take him home now.”

By now, Nicholas had essentially taken control of the company with all the shares transferred. She was not worried about the old-timers or the younger generations in the family usurping the business empire that Nathaniel had painstakingly built.

Thus, it was time to bring Nathaniel back home.

“I'm not going back.”

A voice echoed from the doorway.

Nathaniel had returned without them realizing. He stood at the door, clad in a black overcoat. His black obsidian eyes showed no emotion.

Elena could never have imagined that her exceptional son would end up blind.

Watching him steadily approach, Elena hastily stood up, intending to help him. However, he promptly brushed her off.

Elena's hands were suddenly holding thin air, her heart aching as if it had been stabbed with a knife.

“Nathaniel, are you still upset with me? Everything I did was for our family. Your father never interferes in anything. If I don't step in, the foundation that you've built will end up in someone else's hands. Rather than that, it's better to entrust it to Nicholas. Once you've recovered, I'll have him return it to you.”

Elena knew that Nathaniel's body and memory might recover, but his eyesight was truly gone.
