When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 384 Standing Up For Him

Nathaniel had left around noon, claiming that he had some last–minute work to attend to.

Cecilia looked at Elena, seated on the couch, exuding an air of superiority. Listening to the latter’s tone, she couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, “You were the one who dumped Nathaniel here. What right do you have to criticize me over how I’ve been taking care of him? As long as I don’t let him starve or freeze to death, I’ve fulfilled my obligations as his spouse.”

Elena was left speechless, momentarily at a loss for words.

A moment later, she rose to her feet, looking around. “Where’s Nathaniel? I’ll take him home now.

By now, Nicholas had essentially taken control of the company with all the shares transferred. She was not worried about the old–timers or the younger generations in the family usurping the business empire that Nathaniel had painstakingly built.

Thus, it was time to bring Nathaniel back home.

“I’m not going back.”

A voice echoed from the doorway.

Nathaniel had returned without them realizing. He stood at the door, clad in a black overcoat. His black obsidian eyes showed no emotion.

Elena could never have imagined that her exceptional son would end up blind.

Watching him steadily approach, Elena hastily stood up, intending to help him. However, he promptly brushed her off.

Elena’s hands were suddenly holding thin air, her heart aching as if it had been stabbed with a knife.

“Nathaniel, are you still upset with me? Everything I did was for our family. Your father never interferes in anything. If I don’t step in, the foundation that you’ve built will end up in someone else’s hands. Rather than that, it’s better to entrust it to Nicholas. Once you’ve recovered, I’ll have him return it to you.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Elena knew that Nathaniel’s body and memory might recover, but his eyesight was truly gone.

The doctor had said that after the car accident, his visual nerves were damaged due to the trauma, and he would have to spend the rest of his life in darkness.

Nathaniel listened but remained unmoved.

“Go back and tell Nicholas to wait. I won’t let him off easily!”

He recalled all his childhood memories, realizing that Nicholas was not as gentle and innocent as

“Smack!” Elena fiercely slapped him across the face.

Meanwhile, disbelief filled Cecilia’s eyes.

This was the first time Elena had ever laid a hand on Nathaniel. Her hand trembled as she lowered it. “Nicholas is your younger brother. He’s far more obedient than you. He never refuses anything I ask of him. If he hadn’t fallen ill, he should have been the one to take the helm of Rainsworth Group! He said that he had no intention of replacing you. Everything he did was for our family. How could you be so selfish and narrow–minded?”

Elena was berating Nathaniel for what he had said.

Cecilia was listening quietly by the side. For some reason, she suddenly found herself reminiscing about her past with Magnus.

Every time, regardless of the situation, Paula would always take Magnus‘ side.

Due to her subconscious desire not to let Nathaniel suffer what she had once gone through, Cecilia stepped in front of Nathaniel before Elena could continue berating him.

“Have you said enough? Nathaniel is clearly the one being replaced. He was originally the CEO of

in Orion Corporation, but after losing his sight, you discarded him to live as an ordinary person the countryside. You were the one who abandoned him, and now, he’s even become the villain in your narrative? You’re saying that Nicholas is good because he’s obedient, aren’t you? What if he becomes disobedient? Would he still be good then? Is your measure of a child’s worth based solely on their obedience, Mdm. Elena? When it comes down to it, you’re the selfish one!”

In an instant, Elena was rendered speechless, She had always felt that she had done a lot for Nathaniel, yet her actions were misunderstood. However, she never truly considered his perspective before.

Nathaniel was utterly taken aback when Cecilia stood up for him. In that instant, all the gloom in his heart simply vanished.
