When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 707 More Important

Cecilia was not deeply asleep, and her breath hitched slightly when she was kissed like that. Just like that, she was awake.

Her eyelids were fighting to stay open. She raised her hand and lightly tapped Nathaniel. “What are you doing?”

Nathaniel’s chest burned when she did that. His voice was hoarse when he asked, “When do you plan on coming back?”

Cecilia was half–asleep, her mind not yet fully awake. In a daze, she responded, “I don’t know. I have no idea how severe his injuries are. If they are too serious, I’ll surely need to stay for a longer period of time.”

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed, his eyes growing a touch colder. “Is he that important to you?”

Cecilia was tired, thinking how boring it was for him to ask such things at a time like this. “Of course. We grew up together since childhood. Six years ago, had it not been for him, I would have died. He and Martha saved my life. If anything happens to him, I’ll definitely hold you…”

The words that were to follow, Cecilia chose not to continue.

Nathaniel’s heart clenched tightly. “What do you expect me to do? Sacrifice my life for him?”

“Taking a life always requires paying with one’s own,” Cecilia murmured.

Nathaniel broke his silence. “If both he and I were injured, who would you save first?”

After he asked a few questions, Cecilia was fully awake. Glancing at the wall clock, she saw it was. already eleven o’clock. “Are you not bored?”

“Answer me. Who would you save first?”

Cecilia had never imagined that Nathaniel, who had always prioritized his career, would ever ask such an odd question.

Without holding anything back, she said, “I don’t want to lie to you. I would choose to save Galvin

Had it been in the past, she would have undoubtedly chosen Nathaniel.

At that moment, however, in her heart, Calvin, Martha, Vivian, and the two children were all more important than Nathaniel.

The news hit Nathaniel like a ton of bricks, leaving him stunned for quite some time

Cerila ndied up the quilt and slipped back into bed for a while. “Don’t overthink it. I only regard Calvin as a brother There won’t be any feelings beyond familial love and friendship between us We have two children together, and I’m even carrying our child now. As long as you don’t mess things up. I won’t betray you.”

After hearing what was said, Nathaniel managed to suppress the surge of emotions welling up within him, his expression unchanged.

“Come over.”

Cecilia was confused, moving forward slightly. “What are you doing?”

Nathaniel did not respond. Instead, he drew her into his embrace, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. “What do I mean to you now?”

After Nathaniel had asked his question, perhaps out of fear of her response, he lowered his head. and silenced her with a kiss.

Cecilia hammered down on his shoulders, allowing her a moment’s respite to draw in deep breaths.

“Stop messing around. I have a flight to catch tomorrow. Besides, I’m pregnant, and I need to rest. Cecilia said.

She felt that Nathaniel at that moment was just like a child..

Nathaniel kissed her deeply for a long time. However, he did nothing else afterward.

The next day, when Cecilia woke up, Nathaniel was already gone from her side.

She assumed he’d gone to work and didn’t think much of it. After instructing the housekeeper to take good care of Elliot at home, she set off for the airport.

On the way, Cecilia informed Sven that they had already received news about Calvin.

Sven wasn’t surprised. “Are you planning to see him?”

“Yes.” Cecilia nodded.

“Do you need me to go with you?” Sven was worried about Cecilia going to Erihal alone.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

That place appeared serene, but in reality, it was extremely ruthless and evil.

“No need. Just keep an eye on Eli for me discreetly while you’re in Tudela.”

“All right.”

Upon hearing Cecilia’s words, Sven didn’t say much more. After all, Calvin would be there.

At Erihal Airport, Calvin had already been waiting outside from early morning.

In the car. Yannick was also leisurely resting. “Have we come so early just to sit outside and wait aimlessly?”

“If you can’t wait, feel free to go back first Yannick held up a book to shield his face from the light. “After waiting for so long. I also want to see this childhood friend of yours with my own eyes.”

After a short wait, both of their gazes were fixed on the exit.
