When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 992

Chapter 992 Reconsider The Surgery 

Elliot deeply missed his brother at that moment. 

Although he could discern the good from the bad in people, he wasn’t adept at studying. 

He resorted to using his fingers when the multiplication sums were too large. 

Jonathan would’ve already gotten the answer through mental calculation if he was here. 

The housekeeper stood to the side, her heart aching for her adorable Elliot, sympathizing with him for being on the verge of being overwhelmed by his studies at such a tender age. 

The way parents are putting stress on their kids nowadays is just terrifying! 

Cecilia watched as Elliot scratched his head, wanting to go over and lend him a hand. 

She had barely taken two steps when Nathaniel cleared his throat. “Ceci, have you completed your task?” 

All Cecilia could do was retreat, take her seat, and dutifully solve her own set of problems. 

She truly hadn’t expected Nathaniel to be so stern. It felt no different from when she was in school. 

“I haven’t solved them yet. I’m still thinking,” stammered Cecilia. 

Nathaniel gave a noncommittal hum, then resumed his work. 

Since it was a warm and sunny day, everyone was working and studying in the garden. When Zachary and/ his group drove up, they could immediately see the entire family busily working in the garden. 

Vivian opened the car door and stepped out, waving toward the inside. 

“Ceci! Eli!” 

The moment her voice rang out, Cecilia and Elliot turned their attention toward the doorway. 

A sparkle was evident in Elliot’s eyes. 

At last, someone has come to rescue Mommy and me. 

Zachary and Jonathan alighted from the car in a composed manner. The security guard promptly opened the door for them, and the trio proceeded to enter. 

“Daddy, Mr. Zachary and Ms. Kennedy have brought Jon over,” Elliot said, casting a hopeful glance at Nathaniel. He was hoping for a bit of mercy from Nathaniel, wishing not to be burdened with homework 

anymore. 

He was still just a child after all. 

Nathaniel had not anticipated Zachary’s and Vivian’s arrival. Annoyance flickered across his eyes. 

“Keep working on your homework,” he said.

The light in Elliot’s eyes vanished. He doesn’t love me anymore. Since I chose my own daddy, I’ll have to bear with

Chapter 992 Reconsider The Surgery

Finished 

When Zachary and Vivian came over, they saw Elliot, despite his young age, sprawled on the table working on problems meant for sixth graders. 

Meanwhile, Cecilia was also flipping through some documents. 

“Did we come at a bad time?” Zachary asked. 

Vivian stepped forward. “Ceci, have you been reading these every day? The words fill the entire page, and there are so many of them, how do you manage to take it all in?” 

Cecilia was on the verge of tears. Who would want to read such things? She was forced to do it. 

“I was just looking at them for fun.” 

Her gaze quickly fell on Jonathan. “Jon, come here, let me hold you.” 

She was so tired at the moment, yearning to draw strength from an embrace. 

Jonathan walked toward her, feeling embarrassed, only to be enveloped in her embrace shortly after. 

Feeling a pang of guilt, Vivian watched the heartwarming scene of the mother and son. 

“You must be missing Jon quite a bit, don’t you?” 

I’m sure she does since Jon is Cecilia’s son, but Old Mr. Sinclair was so fond of Jon that he suggested that Jon temporarily stay with the Sinclair family. After all, Cecilia is pregnant and can’t take care of two boys. 

Cecilia didn’t want to disappoint George, especially since he had recently discovered new health issues. 

People of the same age as George, once their health started to decline, no one knew when they might pass 

away. 

“Sure, no problem. We live close by,” replied Cecilia. 

Vivian gave a nod, then added, “It’s finally the weekend, let’s take a break. There’s plenty of time to work later.” 

Cecilia glanced at Nathaniel. 

At that point, Nathaniel had no other choice but to agree to let the mother and son go out and have fun. 

Immediately, Cecilia and Vivian went off to have fun elsewhere, while Elliot also went to play with Jonathan, leaving Zachary and Nathaniel alone. 

At first, Zachary was somewhat puzzled about why Nathaniel had them studying every weekend. However, after everyone left, he gave it some thought and gradually understood. 

“Nathaniel, maybe you should reconsider the surgery.”
