When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 981

Chapter 981 He Would Never Hurt Her 

Upon laying eyes on the person at the door, Paula was completely taken aback. 

“N–Nathaniel Rainsworth?” 

The person at the door was the spitting image of Nathaniel, yet the expression in his eyes was somewhat gentler. 

Following him was Magnus, who peeked out from behind him. “This isn’t Nathaniel, Mom. It’s his 

brother. 

In other words, this man was Nicholas. 

The two individuals truly bore such a striking resemblance to each other that it was no wonder even Cecilia got their identities mixed up in the past. 

Paula seated herself immediately. “I’m sorry for not recognizing you, Mr. Rainsworth.” 

From the moment the caregiver noticed this distinguished man standing at the door, she knew there was something extraordinary about him. She couldn’t help but wonder what his relationship with Paula was. 

Kicholas gave off the impression of a modest gentleman so untouchable that the caregiver dared not look him in the eye. 

The man walked in, followed by Magnus. Although the latter was handsome too, he lacked Nicholas‘ refine and looked like a rich, spoiled brat at first glance. 

“Get out.” 

Magnus issued a stern command to the caregiver. 

Hearing this, the latter reluctantly left the room. 

Then, Magnus closed the door with a resounding thud. 

The room was filled with the scent of disinfectant, a smell he found rather repugnant. However, he had no choice but to visit, considering it was Nicholas who had requested it. 

He didn’t understand why. The man had simply asked him to come and see Paula after overhearing his phone conversation with Cecilia. 

“Have a seat, Mr. Rainsworth,” Paula immediately offered. 

Nicholas pulled out a chair and sat down. “How are you feeling now?” 

Paula didn’t expect him to ask such a question. 

“I’m okay.” 

In her current state, how much better could she get? She was merely waiting for death, 

Nicholas understood that as well, and he spoke again. “I’ve already paid for all the subsequent treatment costs you’ll need. I’ll also take care of the caregiver’s fees.”

Chapter 981 He Would Never Hurt Her 

+5 Pearls 

Paula couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Is it because of Cassandra?” she asked tentatively. 

She still clung onto a sliver of hope for Cassandra, given she had painstakingly carried her for nine months and given birth to her. 

“Cassandra never told me about you. It was only when I overheard Magnus speaking to Cecilia over the phone that I learned what you’re going through.” Nicholas paused before resuming, “I’m Cassandra’s fiancé and, in a way, your future son–in–law. I should bear your medical expenses.” 

Paula’s mind was solely fixed on his initial statement. 

Cassandra had never once mentioned anything about her to Nicholas! 

Such chilling words they were. 

“Thank you,” Paula responded slowly, her throat filled with bitterness. 

Nicholas noticed her disheartened expression and turned to Magnus. “We were in such a rush that we forgot to bring a gift. Go buy some fruits.” 

“Huh? I’ll get someone to buy them-” The latter didn’t want to go. 

Nicholas cut him off directly. “Buy them yourself.” 

Seeing him become serious, Magnus reluctantly rose to his feet and headed out. 

Once he left, only then did Nicholas reveal the real reason for his visit. “I know Cecilia isn’t your biological daughter. Can you tell me what really happened?” 

Paula was shocked. 

She didn’t want to speak, fearing it would implicate Cecilia, so she shook her head. 

“You must be mistaken, Mr. Rainsworth. How could Cecilia possibly not be my biological daughter?” 

Nicholas placed the DNA test results directly in front of her. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to hurt her.” Everyone else in the world might hurt Cecilia, but he would never. 

Recognizing his feelings for Cecilia and aware that hiding the truth any longer was futile, Paula eventually revealed everything.
