When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 Allergic Reaction
Cecilia could still recall how Nathaniel had looked particularly upset back then. He had roughly pulled her aside to an isolated spot and scolded her.

“Aren't you embarrassed enough already?”

Nathaniel tossed the roses she held into the trash bin. “If you're free, get back to work instead of wasting time on such nonsense.”

At that time, Cecilia merely stood there and watched him, her heart sinking with disappointment.

“Most guys confess to girls. I thought you'll be happy when I confessed to you.”

After all, they were both married, but there had been no progress between them.

“Never bring up this nonsense about love again. It's childish,” Nathaniel sternly warned before leaving.

From a certain point onward, Cecilia dared not voice her love anymore.

She had never experienced what it was like to be one of those couples on the street. She didn't know how it felt to openly express her love.

Boom!

Fireworks were permitted in the suburbs this year. Before the sky darkened, the sound of fireworks in the distance snapped Cecilia back to reality.

As she looked at Nathaniel, who had pulled her into his embrace, she still couldn't bring herself to utter the three words.

Some wounds, once inflicted, were almost impossible to heal.

“Nathaniel, we're not children anymore. Let's not be so immature.”

She pulled away from him.

When she looked up, she saw that Nathaniel's handsome face was covered in a dense array of red spots.

“You're having an allergic reaction...”

Nathaniel only felt an unbearable itch on his face. He didn't know that he could have an allergic reaction.

Without hesitation, Cecilia said, “Let's go. I'll call Sven right now to take you to the hospital.”

“Are you saying that Nathaniel is the one who got Calvin hurt?”

Sven neither confirmed nor denied. “Based on my investigation, he is the only one in Sparaville who can pose a threat to Mr. Reese.”

Sven wanted to tell her that Nathaniel wasn't as frail as he appeared now, but fearing it would be presumptuous, he held his tongue.

“Okay. You must find a way to get in touch with Calvin for me.”

Cecilia had mixed feelings about the situation.

“All right. However, the Reese family is currently on high alert. For the time being, they won't allow anyone else to see him.” Sven, who was now under Cecilia's command, couldn't directly approach Calvin.

Cecilia nodded. “Then let's wait.”

After finishing her conversation with Sven, Cecilia went to Nathaniel's ward with a cold expression.

Since the allergic reaction wasn't too severe, he applied some medicine to the red spots on his face, and they quickly faded away.
