When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Do Not Leave Me Alone 

Sean came to his senses. 

He threw a punch at the glass. 

Startled, Cecilia recoiled a bit, then feigned composure. “If you don’t believe me, call her and tell her I’m already dead.” 

Without a second thought, Sean picked up his phone and dialed Stella’s number. 

He couldn’t get through at all. 

Stella had already blocked him. 

“It seems she’s afraid of getting involved with you and being suspected. If you help me and the driver out now, I won’t press charges against you. At most, it was a driving error that caused the accident. Since we’re unharmed, you won’t have to face criminal liability.” 

Sean’s heart was in turmoil. He was unsure if he should heed Cecilia’s words. 

Cecilia was struggling to hold on, her voice growing weaker and weaker. 

Suddenly, a cacophony erupted around them. Sean saw something and took off running immediately. 

Cecilia’s vision was growing increasingly blurry, but she could vaguely make out a tall figure approaching her. 

In the final moments of unconsciousness, she wasn’t able to identify who the man was. 

The man’s shoulders felt broad and warm. 

In the hospital ward, Nathaniel stood on the balcony, lighting a cigarette. Numerous scratches adorned his hands. 

Just as he was about to take a drag, he glanced back at Cecilia lying on the hospital bed and extinguished the cigarette. 

She hadn’t been back for long, yet she had already visited the hospital no less than five times. 

At that moment, his phone rang. It was Mason who called. 

“Mr. Rainsworth, the person responsible for the accident was taken away by Calvin’s men.” 

Nathaniel’s eyes darkened slightly. “Okay. There’s no need to keep those bodyguards around. Cecilia anymore.” 

Then, he ended the call. 

Prior to the accident, he had gone back to Daltonia Villa, only to discover Cecilia’s absence.

Subsequently, he questioned the bodyguard who had been diligently following Cecilia, and after a significant delay, he finally learned about her car accident. 

By the time Nathaniel arrived, the woman was already drenched in blood. At that moment, he felt as if his own heart was about to stop beating. 

Fortunately, Cecilia’s injuries were merely external, and her fainting was due to blood loss. It 

wasn’t severe. 

After he pulled Cecilia from the shattered car window, he was about to take her away when Calvin hurried over. 

He wondered how Calvin came to know about Cecilia’s car accident. Upon arriving at the hospital, Cecilia was rushed to the emergency room. It was then that he discovered the emergency device in Cecilia’s hearing aid. 

Cecilia had reached out to Calvin first. 

Lying in her sickbed, Cecilia experienced a restless sleep, her entire body throbbing with pain. 

She had a dream, in which she saw her father who had passed away many years ago. 

Her father gently patted her shoulder, saying, “Poor Ceci, you must have suffered a lot…” 

Yet, this moment of warmth did not last for long. Her father suddenly transformed into specks of stardust, vanishing before her eyes. 

“Dad…” she called out in her sleep. 

Nathaniel didn’t quite catch what she said. Assuming she had awakened, he moved closer. 

The next moment, Cecilia fumbled and managed to grasp his hand. 

“Dad, don’t go… Don’t leave me alone…” 

Tears trickled down from the corner of Cecilia’s eyes, soaking into the pillow and disappearing without a trace. 

Nathaniel could feel her firm grip, his heart a tumultuous mix of emotions. 

Afraid of rousing her, he didn’t pull away and stood by her side. 

It was precisely because she held onto his hand that she finally felt at ease. 

By the time she woke up, it was already the wee hours of the morning and Nathaniel was nowhere to be found. 

On the pristine white quilt, a suit jacket was carefully laid. She was gripping the sleeve of the jacket.
