When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 277 Who Is The Father

As Cecilia continued talking, she eventually fell asleep. This time, it was Nathaniel who couldn’t find rest. His mind was filled with Nicholas‘ words. “The person she loves is me. The one she wants to marry, is also me.”

After much difficulty, Nathaniel finally drifted off, only to dream of Cecilia leaving once again. When he awoke, Cecilia was still asleep beside him, the sky just beginning to lighten.

Unable to sleep any longer, Nathaniel got up and dialed Nicholas‘ number, but there was no answer. Frustrated, he called Elena. “Mom, where’s Nicholas?” he asked.

“Nicholas‘ condition has been fluctuating. He was sent for treatment. What’s going on?” Elena asked

sensing something was wrong.

Nathaniel’s gaze turned cold as he responded, “Nothing important.” He ended the call abruptly.

Elena had intended to ask about Cecilia, but seeing the call cut off, she sighed and turned to her secretary. “Has Jon returned to preschool yet?”

“The director mentioned that after his father picked him up a few days ago, he hasn’t returned to attend classes,” the secretary replied.

Elena furrowed her brows, deep in thought. “Have we managed to arrange a meeting with Vivian?”

The secretary shook his head. “Vivian said she didn’t want to meet.”

Elena sighed, feeling increasingly frustrated. “When will I finally have a grandchild?”

With Nicholas‘ health in poor condition and Nathaniel showing no desire for children, the thought of all Nathaniel’s future efforts benefiting someone else filled her with dread. “Go ask the director who Jonathan’s father is. I’d like to meet him,” Elena instructed.

“All right,” the secretary replied, hurrying off to handle the task.

It didn’t take long to discover that Zachary was listed as the father of the child. Elena was taken aback and immediately requested for Zachary to be brought over.

At the hospital, Zachary had just finished surgery when he received a call from Elena’s secretary, asking him to come over. Given the close relationship between the Sinclair and Rainsworth families, Zachary regarded Elena as family and immediately headed to the Rainsworth Manor after changing out of his surgical attire.

Before he left, he sent Nathaniel a voice message, “Nathaniel, Mdm. Elena mentioned that you and Cecilia have returned? She asked me to come over, but I’m not sure what it’s about.”

After sending a voice message, Zachary shut off his phone.

At the Rainsworth Manor, Elena had prepared a large meal, hoping Zachary would bring Jonathan over. But as Zachary and Elena talked, it became clear that there had been a

“If it’s not your child, then whose is it?” Elena asked, losing her composure for the first time.

Because Jonathan bore such a striking resemblance to Nathaniel, Elena wondered if he might be a secret child of Nathaniel and Vivian, kept hidden for some reason. Recalling her previous encounter with Vivian at the preschool, where she had seemed unwelcoming, Elena’s suspicions. deepened.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Zachary shook his head. “I have no idea. But my grandfather still wanted me to marry her.”

“She already has a child. It’s not appropriate for you to marry her,” Elena comforted him.

Afterward, feeling unwell, Elena went to rest. Once alone in her room, she instructed her secretary to delve into Vivian’s past, specifically to uncover the identity of Jonathan’s father.

Zachary, now alone in the Rainsworth Manor, felt somewhat bored. Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Nathaniel.

“What did she want from you?” Nathaniel asked.

Zachary briefly explained their conversation. Nathaniel didn’t pry further, assuming his mother was just eager for a grandchild. He hadn’t expected that Elena would take matters into her own hands and investigate further.

By the time Cecilia woke up, the breakfast Nathaniel had ordered for her had already grown cold. He made a call to delay the meal’s delivery, then headed to his study.

Upon opening his computer, Nathaniel noticed a message from Cecilia on his customer service

account.
