When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 976

Chapter 976 What Are You Saying 

“Mrs. Rainsworth,” the family doctor greeted Cecilia. 

Why is Dr. Lazlo here? 

Cecilia felt a pang of fear. Could it be that Nathaniel had lost his memory again? 

She nodded to acknowledge Lazlo, then immediately went inside the house. 

Upon entering, the housekeepers were standing, while Nathaniel was sitting on the couch. Jessica, dressed in thin clothes, was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state. 

Before her, startlingly, was the powder that the housekeeper had gathered while cleaning the table. 

Upon seeing Cecilia approach, Jessica was unable to hold back her tears. “Cecilia, please let me and Nathaniel be together.” 

Cecilia was completely bewildered. 

What the heck? Even though you share no blood relation with him, I’m the legitimate wife here. Who do you think you are? 

The housekeepers were also stunned. 

Kneeling, Jessica crawled toward Cecilia. “Cecilia, I’ve loved Nathaniel since we were kids. I really, really like him. You wouldn’t understand this kind of love. I understand that your relationship with Nathaniel was solely familial, it was only because you two had a child that you stayed together. As long as you support me, I promise to treat Jon and Eli well. I will be a good stepmother to them, and I will never mistreat them. If you still have doubts, then I swear I won’t bear any more children in my lifetime. I absolutely won’t allow any other child to threaten their inheritance rights.” 

Cecilia’s mind went blank as she listened to Jessica’s plea. 

From the side, Elliot was seething with anger. “You’re talking nonsense. My mommy and daddy are deeply in love. You’re the one who’s not loved-” 

Upon hearing Elliot’s words, Cecilia finally snapped back to reality. 

She said to Elliot, “Sweetie, don’t mind her nonsense. She must be unwell. Please go and play with the housekeeper in your room.” 

The housekeeper promptly stepped forward, taking Elliot away. 

Once Elliot left, Jessica’s crying grew even louder. 

At that moment, Cecilia was utterly clueless about what was going on. She turned her gaze toward Nathaniel, who remained silent. 

“Nathaniel, what exactly happened?” 

Nathaniel pinched the bridge of his nose, saying, “She drugged me.” 

“Then you guys-” Cecilia’s heart had also started to race.

Before she could finish her question, Nathaniel abruptly out her off, “Of coune, nothing happened” 

Only then did Cecilia breathe a sigh of relief. Had Jeut truly schemed to seduce her man in broad daylight, she would have ensured that woman met an unpleasant end. 

“So you’re just going to let her kneel here?” 

“I was waiting for your return, to ask how you intend to handle this,” said Nathaniel solemnly. 

Another crucial aspect was to keep Jessica around, fearing that this woman might spew nonsense and falsely accuse him. 

It was important for Cecilia to witness with her own eyes that he did not betray her. Otherwise, any future misunderstandings would be hard to clarify, 

“Handle it any way you see fit,” Cecilia calmly replied. 

The reason Jessica stayed here all along was because Niel favored her. 

If Cecilia had mentioned driving her away, or anything of the sort, and if Niel found out, he would surely harbor resentment toward Cecilia. 

Cecilia didn’t want to be the villain. 

“Given the circumstances, send her back to the Quill residence,” Nathaniel said, his thin lips barely parting.
