When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371 Not Alerting The Enemy
Elliot and Jonathan exchanged glances.

Jonathan began to explain slowly, “Mom, we saw the news, we know the Jamieson family has been treating you poorly. We wanted to stand up for you.”

After hearing this, Cecilia couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She knew very well that the two children were sensible and wouldn't lie without reason.

“Silly child, you're still so young, yet you're already standing up for me.”

Elliot was in hurry to add, “Mom, Jon and I aren't three-year-old kids anymore. I have to tell you, I heard a huge secret today.”

Cecilia couldn't help but feel puzzled. “What kind of earth-shattering secret is it?”

“Stella is not Queenie's biological daughter,” Elliot stated earnestly. “Furthermore, Queenie is already aware of it.”

Finding the news hard to believe, Cecilia took a while to gather her thoughts. “How do you know?” she asked.

“I was hiding behind the table when I heard it,” Elliot said, before going on to recount the earlier events.

Cecilia found it somewhat mind blowing. If that was the case, why was Stella behaving as if everything was just fine at the Jamieson residence earlier?

Elliot was afraid he might have missed out on some details, so he tried his best to recall, “Right, they also mentioned something about not alerting... something.”

“Not alerting the enemy?” Cecilia asked.

“Right, that's it,” Elliot exclaimed in excitement.

At that moment, he could no longer hold back his nosebleed, and fresh blood dripped down steadily.

Upon seeing his nosebleed, Cecilia panicked. “Eli...”

“Quick, driver, head for the hospital right away!”

She immediately instructed the driver to change course.

Only then did Jonathan remember that Cassandra didn't hold back when hitting Elliot earlier.

“Eli...”

Elliot was in unbearable pain. He looked at Cecilia, then turned his gaze toward the anxious Nathaniel, “Mom, Dad, please take care of yourselves...”

“Eli is having a relapse,” Cecilia responded.

“How did this happen?” Vivian also began to panic.

He was fine during the day, so how did he suddenly...

Jonathan came to a quick realization. “It must be because of that wicked woman, Cassandra!”

“What do you mean?” Vivian asked.

“Before you guys arrived, she slapped Eli.” With a face full of guilt, Jonathan confessed, “It was all my fault. I failed to protect him.”

Upon hearing this, Cecilia was undeniably shocked.

I can't believe Cassandra could bring herself to harm a child when she herself is pregnant!

This wasn't the time to hold Cassandra accountable, so she comforted Jonathan, “Jon, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself.”

Jonathan and Elliot were of the same age, the only difference being one was born a few moments earlier. They were both just children, so it would have be impossible for Jonathan to protect his brother.
