When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 299 His Amnesia Is Real

In the end, the divorce application fell through.

To be honest, not only was Nathaniel taken aback, but even Mason was astonished.

The usually gentle and weak–willed Cecilia surprisingly behaved like an iron lady that day.

Nathaniel’s bodyguards escorted them to the car. As they drove off, people were still discreetly tailing them.

One could only wonder what new piece of news would explode on the internet that day.

Cecilia sat in the car, her eyes brimming with tears.

Nathaniel sat beside her, his hands resting on his lap at a loss.

“I’ve wronged you in the past.”

After a long while, he spoke up.

Cecilia pursed her lips at his words, remaining utterly silent.

Unable to see or hear her, Nathaniel felt as if a knife had sliced his heart.

“In my recollection, you loved me dearly, and I…” He left out “loved you too“.

He heard nothing but complaints about himself from Cecilia at the City Hall earlier.

It turns out I was bad to her in the past.

Cecilia remained silent, burying her head in her knees, restraining herself from crying.

Over the years, she had been through a lot of unfair situations. Yet, everyone else thought that she had merely basked in Nathaniel’s glory.

Since Nathaniel had lost his sight, her desire for a divorce was nothing short of an ungrateful act.

Perhaps it was because of his blindness, but Nathaniel’s hearing had become extraordinarily sharp. He could faintly hear Cecilia’s soft sobs.

He raised his hand, letting his large palm rest on her shoulder.

“I’m sorry.”

Cecilia’s body stiffened for a moment.

Over the years, Nathaniel had never once apologized to her. Never once had he said he was sorry.

She looked up in surprise, only to see the man in front of her awkwardly placing his hand on her shoulder.

Due to the recent news, he immediately recognized the person before him when he saw the

name.

He could hardly believe that the owner of Orion Corporation was standing right before him.

“Are you Mr. Rainsworth? Your eyes… are they really…” He couldn’t bring himself to utter the word, blind.

Nathaniel didn’t like receiving pity from others and said, “Please proceed.”

The staff member, however, responded, “I’m sorry, Ms. Smith. Your previous divorce case was rejected, so you’ll have to wait six months before you can apply for a divorce again.”

Taken aback, Cecilia immediately retorted, “I told you that we’re both willingly getting a divorce.

ΠΟΥ.

Nathaniel sat by her side. Listening to her impatient words, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.

“Yes, we willingly choose to divorce.” Nathaniel’s voice was deep and hoarse.

The staff member gave him a sympathetic glance, then turned to look at Cecilia with a cold stare.

“Ms. Smith, according to our country’s marriage laws, if either party has limited capacity for civil conduct or lack of it, the City Hall may not accept a divorce application. People always say never forget a wife who has shared her husband’s hard lot, but the same applies to a husband who has shared his wife’s hard lot! Before, your husband had a successful career and was young

and promising, but you didn’t divorce him. Now that he’s in this state, you want a divorce. Don’t you think you’re too heartless?”

Cecilia listened to the staff’s words, her eyes reddening with frustration.

“What do you mean by having limited capacity for civil conduct? He’s just blind, not stupid.”

Her voice was rather loud, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

Cecilia had never felt as wronged as she did at that moment.

“When he had a successful career, I’d already filed for a divorce. What’s wrong with your eyes? Can’t you see that? Besides, he’s successful in his career but never bothered to show any concern. or support for me, so why shouldn’t I consider divorce now? Why should I compromise myself to stay with him now that he’s blind when he treated me poorly in the past?”

Everyone turned their attention to Cecilia, astounded by her words.

People also noticed Nathaniel standing by her side. One by one, they started taking photos.

“Nathaniel, why did you have to lose your memory?”

A pang of bitterness filled Nathaniel’s heart once again.

Cecilia pushed his hand away. “Don’t touch me.”

Nathaniel’s hand remained suspended in mid–air for a long while before he finally retracted it.

“Okay.”

His single affirmation solidified Cecilia’s certainty that he had truly lost his memory.

Not only had he lost his memory, but it seemed his personality had changed as well.

In reality, his personality hadn’t changed. Nathaniel knew Cecilia wanted to cry and coldly ordered Mason and the driver, “Stop the car. Mason and the rest out.”

“Yes, sir.”

Both the driver and Mason got out.

Only Nathaniel and Cecilia remained in the car. The silence was so profound that they could hear each other’s breaths..

“Cry if you want to,” Nathaniel said solemnly.

Cecilia remained silent.

Nathaniel was terrified of her departure. He gently reached out, confirming her presence, and his tense heart slightly relaxed.

“Don’t worry. Even if we didn’t divorce, from this point forward, I won’t bother you anymore, nor will I become a burden to you.”

Cecilia remained silent as ever.

Nathaniel couldn’t help but soften his voice.

“Should we divorce six months from now? I promise I won’t go back on my word.”

“Okay, it’s a deal,” Cecilia finally said.

Nathaniel’s heart sank, and he forced a smile. “Yeah, it’s a deal.”

After Cecilia left, Nathaniel felt as if his heart had been torn apart, the pain was unbearable.

Mason got into the car. “Mr. Rainsworth, are we heading back to the hospital now?”

Nathaniel’s wounds hadn’t yet fully healed.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, “Take me back to where I used to live.”

“Yes, sir.”

Nathaniel didn’t even know where he used to live.

He woke up in the hospital with only one person etched in his memory–Cecilia.

In his mind, all he could remember was Cecilia’s face and voice. He couldn’t remember everything else.

Elena informed him that he and Mason had worked together for many years.

Mason dropped Nathaniel off at Daltonia Villa, then called the medical staff to come over.

However, Nathaniel interrupted, “I don’t like having strangers around.”

Mason immediately hung up the phone.

“Shall I take care of you personally?”

“Like I said, I don’t like strangers around.” Nathaniel’s tone was exceptionally cold.

Mason froze on the spot.

Mr. Rainsworth is treating me like a stranger.
