When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 305 Sue For Bigamy

Elena sat in the car, her gaze fixed on Nathaniel in Daltonia Villa. She turned to Ernest, seated beside her, and asked, “Mr. Ernest, you were the lawyer who handled Nathaniel’s case before, weren’t you?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Nathaniel had refused to heed her arrangements, unwilling to form a marital alliance with another family or accept Stella, as Elena had hoped. She worried that his isolation in Daltonia Villa would eventually lead to trouble.

To address her concerns, Elena sought out Ernest, the lawyer who had assisted Nathaniel with his divorce case, to gather more information about his current situation.

“Yes, I was,” Ernest replied.

“I’d like to inquire about Nathaniel’s current circumstances. Does my daughter–in–law, Cecilia,

any obligation or responsibility to care for him?” Elena subtly hinted at her intentions.

Ernest, perceptive as always, quickly understood the underlying meaning of her words. “Of course,” he paused thoughtfully. “If you wish, I can help Mr. Rainsworth draft a legal summon that would require Cecilia to take care of him.”

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Elena’s lips. “Good. I want Cecilia to receive a lawyer’s letter today. Can you arrange that?” she asked.

“Certainly,” Ernest replied.

Pleased with the response, Elena handed him her business card. “Mr. Ernest, I invite you to join. Orion Corporation,” she said, her tone implying a future collaboration.

Ernest, however, did not you, but I don’t need it.”

Elena barely registered the refusal; her focus was on the outcome she desired. She had achieved her goal. As she stepped out of the car and made her way into the villa, her mind was set on the next steps.

Nathaniel was sitting solemnly in his study, attempting to focus on the documents before him. However, his blindness made it nearly impossible to comprehend their contents, leaving him frustrated. His once sharp mind now struggled to process even the simplest information.

Elena entered the study, her heart heavy as she observed her once brilliant son, now reduced to his current state. Despite the bitterness she felt, she steeled herself for what she had to do.

Nathaniel, I need to talk to you about something,” she said, her voice firm.

Nathaniel closed the document he had been struggling to read and turned to her. “What is it?”

“I forgot to mention, Cecilia is two months pregnant,” Elena revealed.

Nathaniel’s heart sank, his lips tightening in response.

“You two are married, and as the saying goes, a married couple should reconcile quickly. Regardless of any past disagreements, you should be there for her, living life together,” Elena continued.

She knew the real reason Nathaniel had agreed to divorce Cecilia was due to his blindness and his ignorance of her pregnancy.

She pressed on, “As a man, it’s your duty to take care of your wife and child. I know that even blind, you would never settle for mediocrity”

“I’ll arrange for someone to take you to her place. Shower her with affection, and I’m sure she’ll change her mind,” Elena suggested.

Nathaniel clenched his hand tightly. He was blind and reluctant to go anywhere, but he knew Elena would force him to comply if he resisted. And deep down, he longed to see Cecilia, missed her terribly, and wished he could be with her.

Before Nathaniel could take action, Cecilia received a letter from a lawyer.

Ernest personally delivered it, issuing a stern warning, “Ms. Smith, according to Article 1059 of the Civil Code, spouses have a mutual obligation of support. Mr. Rainsworth has lost his sight due to a car accident, and this is precisely when he needs care. If you do not fulfill your duty, I will sue you on behalf of Mr. Rainsworth.”

Cecilia gripped the letter tightly, her anger boiling over. “Did Nathaniel send you?”

Ernest responded honestly, “No, it’s Elena. She hopes you will take good care of Nathaniel and. fulfill your duties as a wife.”

“What if I don’t?” Cecilia countered, her voice filled with defiance.

Ernest smiled, his eyes cold despite the gentleness in his expression. “I still remember your admission of infidelity in court. If you need a reminder, you could ask Vivian for clarity. She knew very well what I was capable of I could have easily landed you in jail for bigamy.”

“Are you seriously considering spending a few years in jail after having the baby?” he added.

As their conversation unfolded, an extended luxury car approached.
