Meanwhile, at Rainsworth Manor, Elena was in high spirits after receiving the call.
She hadn't expected Jonathan to take the initiative to approach her, given that he had always acted aloof during their previous encounters.
At that moment, Nathaniel had not yet arrived, and people in the manor began whispering various speculations. “Is Nathaniel not coming? He agreed to come, didn't he? How could he not honor his promise? He's not the kind of person to break his word, though...”
“Haven't you heard the rumors? Nathaniel has lost his sight. He would make a fool of himself if he came,” another person uttered.
“No way! Are you serious?” The room buzzed with curiosity.
If the rumors proved to be true, the unfolding drama promised to be far more intriguing than anyone had anticipated.
Finally, the butler led Nathaniel into the residence.
Everyone's gaze shifted toward the entrance as a man dressed in luxurious attire appeared. Although his clothes were opulent, his usually sharp eyes lacked their former luster. He had to rely on the butler to guide him into the living hall.
Nathaniel didn't address anyone upon his arrival.
Elena stepped forward and said to Niel, “Dad, Nathaniel is here. The doctor advised him to rest more after the car accident. We should let him rest, shouldn't we?”
When Niel saw that Nathaniel could no longer see, he chose not to make things difficult for him. Just as he was about to let Nathaniel leave, Adrian, who had been standing by, spoke up. “Aunt Elena, Nathaniel doesn't get out often. Why don't we spend some time together? There's no need to rush sending him home.”
Others, too, chimed in. “Yeah, we all want to have a chat with Nathaniel.”
Elena cast a somewhat displeased glance at Niel.
Niel, leaning on his cane, stood up. “We still have to proceed with the ceremony after dinner. He can rest afterward. Elena, come to my study right now.”
“All right,” Elena responded, understanding that Niel was likely to find fault with her.
As soon as she left, everyone started discussing Nathaniel in hushed whispers, even though he was just a stone's throw away. Meanwhile, Nicholas sat quietly, sipping his coffee and observing the scene with indifferent detachment.

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
Thank you for the update and anticipate more. Love Elliot in this novel the most <3...
