When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Bite Me
Listening to Elliot's voice, Cecilia noticed that it lacked the usual playful tone and was instead filled with caution. She quickly reassured him, “I was really busy today and completely forgot to call you. I'm so sorry, Sweetie. Can I come see you tomorrow?”

Upon hearing her words, Elliot couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. “It's all right, Mommy. You should focus on your work. I'm doing just fine in the hospital, so you don't need to go through the trouble of coming here.”

In the past, Elliot would have insisted on Cecilia coming over to keep him company right away. Now, he was as considerate as Jonathan, and that realization brought a sharp pang to Cecilia's heart. She quietly resolved to visit Elliot the next day, determined to make it up to him.

After chatting for a while, Cecilia reluctantly ended the call. She lay down on the couch, trying to relax, but her thoughts were still on her children.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared before her, blocking the light and casting a shadow over her. Cecilia furrowed her brows slightly as she opened her eyes, only to find Nathaniel standing nearby. She wasn't sure how long he had been there.

“Is something wrong?” Cecilia asked, puzzled by his sudden presence.

“Before dinner, did you really just go for a walk?” Nathaniel asked, his tone serious.

Cecilia hesitated but eventually responded, “Yes. What's wrong with that?”

“It's nothing,” Nathaniel replied, though his expression suggested otherwise.

He remained silent for a moment longer before turning and leaving the room. As soon as he was out of sight, he immediately made a call, instructing his bodyguard to review the surveillance footage around the house.

As he suspected, all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity had mysteriously malfunctioned that day.

“Check the footage from farther away,” Nathaniel ordered.

“Understood,” came the response.

Before long, Nathaniel received a report with all the vehicle information his bodyguards had managed to gather. Most of the cars belonged to locals, and their owners' information was quickly revealed. One car, however, stood out—it belonged to Rainsworth Group.

Nathaniel specifically instructed his subordinates to investigate this car further. When the surveillance footage was finally retrieved, Nathaniel had Mason play it back. To his dismay, the video showed Nicholas sitting inside the car.

Mason, unaware of the details, watched in confusion. He only knew that the footage involved Nicholas, but nothing more.

After viewing the footage, Nathaniel didn't say a word. He simply hung up the phone, his mind racing with thoughts.

Meanwhile, Cecilia had already taken a bath and was preparing to go to bed. When she opened the door to her bedroom, she was surprised to find Nathaniel sitting inside, waiting for her.
