When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1427

Chapter 1427 Elliot Knows
As soon as the call connected, he asked anxiously, “Jon, what's wrong with Mommy?”

Jonathan, already aware of Cecilia's disappearance, hesitated before answering. Wanting to protect Elliot, who had just undergone surgery, he lied. “What about her? She's fine.”

Elliot frowned when Jonathan lied to him, too.

“Jon, do you think I'm still a toddler? It's been days, and Mommy hasn't come to see me. Something must have happened to her. And lately, sc*mbag daddy's been out almost every day. I even overheard Mr. Sven talking about searching for someone. Has Mommy gone missing?”

Jonathan hadn't anticipated that his younger brother had known so much.

He let out a sigh, no longer hiding the truth. “Yes, Mommy has disappeared, and we still haven't found her.”

“How could this happen?” Elliot's voice trembled with worry when he received the confirmed news. “Could someone have kidnapped Mom?”

Jonathan sighed heavily, his expression grim. “It's not impossible,” he admitted. “But right now, you've just had surgery, and you need to focus on resting. Don't make anyone worry about you more than they already are. Once we find Mommy, she'll be relieved to see you healthy and well.”

Elliot knew he couldn't do much, yet he just couldn't sit still.

“All right then.” He hung up the phone and lay back down.

Over the past few days, Queenie had also been closely monitoring her grandchildren, a heavy sense of regret weighing on her. She couldn't help but think that if she had found Cecilia sooner, none of this would have happened.

Cassandra was finally released, and she rushed home, eager to find solace. As soon as she arrived, she sobbed and complained to Queenie, “Mom, I thought I wouldn't make it back! That jerk, Nathaniel, had me locked up in total darkness. There was no one around, not a sound to be heard. And I'm pregnant, for heaven's sake!”
