When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376 The Jealous Eric
“Understood, I'll have it arranged,” Queenie said decisively.

Cassandra and Stella shared a glance, finally feeling at ease.

With Queenie's involvement, Cecilia was surely doomed.

Queenie merely intended to teach Cecilia a lesson, to deter her from targeting the Jamieson family and Cassandra again. She had never imagined that her own daughter would go as far as to threaten the lives of another mother and child.

Meanwhile, Jonathan looked at the fruits of his labor online with satisfaction. Although the impact on the Jamieson family and Ceci Corporation were different, it was enough to deal the Jamieson family a significant setback.

Queenie had someone investigate who was responsible for this deed, only to find out that the other party was using a foreign virtual address. With no other options, she had to let the matter slide.

Inside the hospital, Cecilia, who was accompanying Eli, didn't check the news.

It was Charlotte who had informed her over the phone.

She wasn't particularly concerned about the affairs of the Jamieson family at the moment. Her mind was solely preoccupied with Eli's illness.

After watching Elliot fall asleep, she couldn't help but ask Nathaniel, “Can we induce labor early?”

Cecilia was worried that Elliot might not be able to hold on until the birth of her twins.

“Doing so is risky. It's not an option unless absolutely necessary.” Nathaniel was still fairly rational.

He wasn't indifferent to Eli, but he understood that the more anxious one became about certain matters, the higher the likelihood of things going awry.

After hearing that, Cecilia lowered her gaze. “So, what should we do?”

“Everything will be alright.”

Nathaniel reached out and held her in his arms.

Cecilia leaned against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him.

The two were locked in an embrace, the door not fully closed. Outside, Eric, who had come over with Charlotte to see Eli, happened to witness this scene.

His body stiffened as a result.

Noticing his reaction, Charlotte hurriedly pulled him outside.

However, upon hearing some noise, Cecilia pulled herself away from Nathaniel's embrace, turning toward the doorway. “It's a surprise to see you here.”

“Why do you seem unhappy?” Charlotte couldn't help but gossip, “When do you plan on finding a girlfriend and settling down? You're not into men, are you?”

Eric gave her a look. “What are you talking about? My career comes first.”

However, Charlotte didn't believe his claim that his career was of utmost importance.

Inside the hospital, when Elliot woke up, his first thought was about getting discharged to return to school.

Cecilia was overwhelmed with concern. “The doctor mentioned you still need to recuperate in the hospital before you can go back home.”

“Mommy, am I going to die?”

“Don't be silly.”

Despite the words of comfort offered, Cecilia was feeling particularly distressed.

Nathaniel had gone out, when at that moment, there was a knock on the hospital room door.

Cecilia rose to answer the door, only to find Elena anxiously standing at the entrance. “How's Eli?” the latter asked.
