When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 A Kind Soul
Vivian really didn't want to witness someone dying right in front of her, so she said, “Hey... Let's just drop it. He didn't do anything to Jon. Besides, it was Jon who started it by pulling at his pants.”

Vivian thought once she found Jonathan, she would definitely have to ask him why he pulled the man's pants.

Zachary was also getting a bit anxious. His patience was wearing thin after he spent hours looking at the surveillance footage. He turned to look at her. “What did you call me? Don't I have a name?”

Vivian involuntarily flinched out of fear after Zachary dropped his flippant demeanor.

Zachary massaged his temples and instructed his subordinates, “Just throw him out.”

“Yes.”

Vivian let out a sigh of relief and returned to monitoring the surveillance footage.

After Jonathan ran away, he never appeared on the surveillance footage again.

Zachary had someone check the external surveillance footage again, and he saw that the child had never even stepped outside. Could that brat still be hiding somewhere in the hotel?

With that in mind, he turned to the hotel manager and ordered, “Clear out all the guests staying here today. I refuse to believe we can't find a single child.”

“Okay. We'll do just that.”

Vivian saw that Zachary was genuinely worried about finding the child, so she didn't blame him further. Together with the hotel staff, they started the search for the child.

At that moment, Nicholas was sitting at home. He wasn't asleep. Instead, he was engrossed in a book.

Cassandra had already returned to the Evans residence, waiting for him to pick her up.

Suddenly, a call came through. He picked it up, and his pupils constricted instantly when he saw the caller ID. After that, he answered the call right away.

Unsure if Cecilia was looking for him, he remained silent until he heard her familiar voice. “Nicholas, can we meet?” she asked.

Nicholas had already received the news. Mason was looking for Nathaniel. Hence, when Cecilia looked for him, he was certain that it was about matters concerning Nathaniel.

He replied calmly, “Cecilia, why are you calling me at this hour? I've already gone to bed.”

Before Cecilia could finish speaking, Nicholas had already hung up the phone.

Nicholas grabbed his umbrella and hurriedly stepped out the door.

Outside the Rainsworth residence, Cecilia was standing by the car, holding an umbrella, as the icy wind and snow seeped into her clothes. She couldn't help but rub her hands together.

She didn't have to wait long before she saw Nicholas, umbrella in hand, hastily making his way toward her.

“Why didn't you wait for me in the car, given how cold it is outside?”

Nicholas saw Cecilia standing outside, her face chilled to a purplish hue.

“I noticed a car parked outside. I was afraid you wouldn't see me when you came out,” replied Cecilia.

Upon hearing her response, Nicholas couldn't help but reminisce about their childhood together.

On a rainy day, she would stand waiting for him in the downpour. She had said that there were too many people around, and she was afraid he wouldn't be able to find her.
