When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 301 Martha Is Hospitalized

Cecilia also saw the news online but didn’t pay much mind to it. To her, living her life well was of greater importance.

Unable to divorce, and with Nathaniel now suffering from amnesia, Cecilia decided to travel abroad to find Martha and the two children.

The day before she was set to depart, Cecilia received a phone call from Calvin.

“Ceci, Martha is hospitalized,” Calvin said, his tone particularly solemn.

Cecilia’s heart suddenly tensed up. “What happened?”

“The doctor mentioned they were all age–related illnesses, along with lung nodules…” Calvin paused before adding, “At most, she could hold on until after the New Year…”

The New Year was just over two months away.

Cecilia staggered for a moment, almost toppling to the ground.

“I’ll head back right away.”

Interrupting her, Calvin said, “Ceci, I can tell that Martha longs to return to her hometown.”

The older generation may not openly express how much they miss home, but their nostalgia is evident in everything they do.

Choked with emotion, Cecilia said with a sob, “I truly owe her an immense apology. I’ll come to pick her up and take her back to Sparaville right away.”

“I was just about to come back to Clusia to handle a project, so I can bring her along.” Calvin, who also knew about Nathaniel’s situation, added, “The two kids want to come back as well.”

After Martha returned, Cecilia was also uneasy about the two children staying abroad.

Nathaniel had lost his memory and his eyesight, so he likely wouldn’t seek out the two children.

“Could you please bring both children back with you?”

“All right.”

After hearing about Martha, she was constantly reminded of her childhood.

In truth, compared to Paula, Martha felt more like a mother to her. The love Martha showered upon her was indistinguishable from a mother’s love.

In the early hours of the morning, Cecilia had already risen. She prepared toiletries for Martha and the two children, and also went out to buy groceries.

After purchasing clothes and shoes from the boutique, everything was neatly arranged, all ready for their arrival.

Around noon, Cecilia went to pick them up from the airport.

Ever since their hasty farewell overseas last time, when Cecilia saw Martha again, her hair was full of silver strands and her back had become hunched.

Yet, Martha didn’t show any signs of peculiarity. Holding a bag of food, she handed it over to Cecilia.

“Ceci, these were all your favorites when you were abroad.”

Cecilia cast her eyes over a bag filled with an assortment of snacks.

Given how Martha didn’t speak any foreign languages, it was a mystery how Martha managed to find these delicacies while she was abroad.

She concealed the bitterness in her heart, managing to pull off a smile as she hugged Martha and said, “Martha, you’re the best.”

Not far away, Calvin was with the two kids, careful not to disturb the pair.

After returning to the rental house, Martha and the two kids took a break in the living room.

Calvin told Cecilia that there was no longer a need for Martha to undergo treatment. Being in the hospital was only causing her even more suffering. It would be better for her to reunite with her family instead.

Cecilia listened in silence. She wanted to say something, but it felt as if a knife had cut her throat, leaving her unable to speak.

“Spend some quality time with her during this period.”

Cecilia nodded. “I will. I’ve already discussed it with the landlord. We’ll move out tomorrow and return to Sparaville.”

Calvin’s gaze fell on her slightly pale face. He wanted to ask her about her affairs with Nathaniel several times, but in the end, all he managed to say was, “How have you been lately?”

Even though Cecilia was aware that Sven might have disclosed everything to him, she still said, “I initially filed for divorce, but unexpectedly, I ended up in a car accident with Nathaniel. His severe injuries resulted in blindness, and he also lost his memory. The court ruled against me.”

After hearing everything, Calvin fell silent, feeling that fate was a cruel mistress.

“So, how are things between you two now?”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. He said he’d never bother me again.”
