Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1333

Elliot stopped in his tracks, holding Adora in his arms as his gaze was fixed on Nathaniel standing before him.

Without uttering a word, he scrutinized Nathaniel from head to toe.

Nathaniel took a few steps forward, his gaze downcast, veiling his guilt.

"It's the twins' first birthday. Though I know you both weren't planning a big celebration, I bought a cake and gifts for them. I went to E&S Haven only to find out that you brought Asher and Adora to the lab for blood tests…"

He paused briefly, unable to meet Adora's gaze.

He gulped nervously, trying to gather the courage to ask, "Have the test results come out? Are they… okay?"

Elliot calmly informed him of the truth, "Adora is fine, but Asher does have residual virus in his system, which is why he was born weaker than Adora. Yosef said that Asher is too young and weak. He's unable to tolerate the potency of the antidote or suppressants. He can only undergo conservative treatment, receiving IV fluids and medication."

With each word spoken, the weight of the situation settled heavier on Nathaniel's heart.

Nathaniel's clenched fists trembled, and his eyes reddened, suppressing his overwhelming guilt.

He wanted to explain, to justify his past actions…

The bad blood between them should not have implicated the innocent babies…

Yet, every excuse seemed feeble.

Eventually, he hung his head in defeat and murmured, "I'm sorry."

Those words seemed inadequate to make amends.

Elliot did not make it easy for Nathaniel, letting him stand in the rain.

"You should indeed apologize, but to Asher instead. You should make amends for your past mistakes, especially to him."

Nathaniel nodded. "Yes, I've hurt Asher. It's the biggest regret of my life. I'll do everything in my power to make it up to both babies."

Elliot's expression turned grim as he scolded her in a low voice, "No fake crying to get your godfather to hold you. If you catch a cold and get a fever, you'll need to get shots, which will hurt your little bottom. Aren't you afraid?"

Adora furrowed her brows, wrinkling her little nose.

Soon, she clung to Elliot's coat, seeking comfort in his arms.

Nathaniel said, "I want to put aside the Nicholls Group's matters and focus all my energy on taking care of Asher. Can I stay with him during his IV treatment in the lab?"

"If it's just caregiving, of course, you can, but…" Elliot paused, narrowing his eyes as if he could see through Nathaniel's thoughts.

"The drugs in the lab are top-secret, and you're no longer a public official. I won't forgive you if you dare to do anything fishy."

Nathaniel's long lashes veiled his blue eyes as he spoke softly, "I'm not the same Nathaniel who used to stand against you. Any influence I have in the Nicholls family is thanks to your help. We're on the same side now. I won't harm you anymore, and I have no use for those drugs."

Elliot stared at him. "You better not have any other intentions. You're not allowed to steal a bottle to use on yourself to share Asher's pain to atone for what you've done."
