When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556 Car Window
She was already having trouble sleeping, and when Nathaniel got into the bed, Cecilia became even more awake.

She shifted her body away.

Suddenly, someone grasped Cecilia's hand. She immediately pretended to be asleep, obediently settling down and closing her eyes.

Nathaniel gently held her small hand, caressing it softly.

Cecilia had her eyes closed for quite a while before she realized that he was unable to see them. Even if she were to open her eyes, he wouldn't know whether she had fallen asleep or not.

Hence, Cecilia slowly opened her eyes.

What met her gaze was the stern and cold profile of Nathaniel.

She didn't know when he had managed to sit up. One of his hands was holding hers, while the other was gently caressing her head.

After confirming her forehead, he lowered his head.

Cecilia subconsciously closed her eyes. A kiss as light as a feather brushed across her forehead.

For some reason, her heart started to beat a bit faster.

Nathaniel didn't do anything else. He simply laid back down, cautiously drawing her closer to him.

Perhaps out of fear of touching the wound on her face, he didn't hold her as tightly as he used to.

Initially, Cecilia thought that the changes over the past period were due to his amnesia.

At that moment, it seemed that wasn't the case.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Cecilia had finally fallen asleep. Perhaps due to the events of the day, her sleep was restless. She hadn't been asleep for long before she was jolted awake.

“Jon...”

Nathaniel wasn't in a deep sleep. When he was disturbed, he immediately patted her shoulder and said, “Don't worry. Jon is all right now.”

Hearing that, Cecilia gradually found peace and fell back asleep.

That night, her sleep was unusually light. She couldn't help but grasp Nathaniel's hand.

“Nathaniel.”

“Yes? I'm here,” Nathaniel responded deeply.

Cecilia found this scene particularly familiar, inevitably recalling the time she had been hurt by Stella's boyfriend.

Those were the words he said.
