When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 681 The Commotion

Elliot’s eyes widened in shock as he saw Felix charging toward him, seemingly losing his balance and heading straight for him. Fortunately, Jonathan reacted quickly, yanking Elliot to safety just in time.

Felix brushed past Elliot, narrowly missing him. Losing his balance, he slipped and fell with a loud thud.

The boy burst into tears.

Miranda rushed over. “Honey, are you all right?”

Cecilia stepped forward to check on Elliot. Seeing him unharmed, shielded by Jonathan, she finally felt a sense of relief.

At that moment, Elliot’s eyes were shadowed with anger as he cast an icy glare at Felix, who was sobbing on the ground. He knew that Felix had been aiming to shove him.

Miranda helped Felix up, turning to glare at Elliot and Jonathan.

“Why did the two of you push Felix?” she accused them without hesitation.

Cecilia frowned and replied, “Miranda, when did my son ever push Felix? Felix rushed over, almost bumping into Elliot, and fell down by himself.”

“Of course you’d side with your sons. I saw them push my son with my own eyes,” Miranda snapped.

She then turned to Felix and asked, “Isn’t that right, Felix?”

Felix nodded. “Yes, Jonathan and Elliot pushed me together.”

There was no surveillance in this area, and with everyone watching, Miranda was confident they wouldn’t dare to deny it.

Right then, Nathaniel intervened, “Did you push him?”

Elliot shook his head. “No, Daddy, we didn’t push him.”

Miranda chimed in, “Nathaniel, save it. You’re blind, so stop trying to protect your son.”

Nathaniel knitted his brows in response. “So what if I’m being protective?”

Niel, hearing Nathaniel’s words, approached and chided, “Nathaniel, how could you say that! As parents, it’s our responsibility to set an example for our children. When we make mistakes, we should apologize.”

Niel’s vision was failing due to his age, so naturally, he couldn’t see whether Felix had fallen his own or had been pushed Instinctively, he defended Felix, who was injured.

Elliot clenched his fists.

Noticing the commotion, Elena pushed through the crowd to understand what had happened. With Niel siding with Felix, she realized she couldn’t defend Jonathan and Elliot without a solid reason.

Jon, tell me the truth. Did you push Felix?” she asked.

“No,” Jonathan replied.

Elliot gazed at Elena with his large, adorable eyes. “Grandma Elena, do you not believe in us? Just yesterday, you promised to protect us.”

Elena’s heart melted when she heard that. Just as she was about to defend her grandchildren. Miranda spoke up with a pitiful tone. “Aunt Elena, everyone is watching. Don’t you think it’s unfair to side with your two grandsons in this situation?”

Observing the unfolding situation, Jonathan realized that even with Elena’s intervention, they would still be at a disadvantage and unlikely to win any favor from the relatives.

He cast a reassuring glance at his mother, then stepped forward to face Felix, who was covered in dirt. “I’m sorry,” Jonathan said, “I shouldn’t have pushed you.”

Felix was taken aback. He didn’t anticipate that Jonathan would apologize..This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonathan extended his hand toward Felix, seemingly intending to shake hands with him.

All eyes were on the two children. Felix, with a smug expression, reached out to grasp Jonathan’s hand. But in the next moment, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Jonathan gave him a firm shove.

Thud!

Everyone saw with their own eyes that Jonathan was the one who pushed Felix this time.

Felix, landing hard on his back, burst into tears again. “How could you trick me?”

Even Cecilia was taken aback, wondering why Jonathan, who was usually kind, would push Felix.

Miranda flew into a rage. “You all saw that, right? He’s such a bully!”

Everyone began accusing Jonathan of being a troublemaker. It was difficult for anyone to take sides now, as both Felix and Jonathan were just children.

Unfazed by the accusations directed at him. Jonathan cast a cool, nonchalant glance at Felix and proceeded to explain his reason for shoving Felix.
