Cecilia followed his gaze, feeling somewhat nervous. 

By this time, Zachary should have arrived, right?

Thankfully, Nicholas didn’t say much. Turning around he gave a small smile, “Of course, I understand. You’re no longer that naive girl from before.” 

“Let’s take a walk somewhere further,” suggested Nicholas. 

“Okay.” 

Cecilia felt like she caught a break. 

Meanwhile, Zachary had already rushed over. He entered the room through the back door to examine Nathaniel. 

Cecilia had no idea how long he would be inspecting, so she just had to keep accompanying Nicholas. 

The two of them were casually chatting. When the sound of a text message came from the phone, Cecilia glanced at it and then said to Nicholas, “It’s getting late. We should head back.” 

Nicholas eyed her and didn’t have the heart to expose her. 

“Okay.” 

They returned together. Nathaniel was still not fully awake, while Cecilia was feeling a bit hungry. So, she ordered some food and shared a meal with Nicholas. 

Nicholas hadn’t experienced this in a long time. Eating together, taking walks, chatting, it felt just like they were a couple. 

As Cecilia progressed into her labor, her belly continued to grow, and her appetite improved significantly. 

In front of Nicholas, Cecilia felt a bit shy, not daring to eat too much. 

Nicholas saw right through her at a glance and said to her, “Eat a little more. Otherwise, I won’t be able to finish it all. It’d be a waste.” 

Cecilia’s eyes lit up. 

“Okay.” 

She took a second helping and began to eat with joy. 

Nicholas silently observed the scene before him, which was reminiscent of his childhood. 

He remembered how, in the beginning, when he brought food for Cecilia, she was always very polite, only eating a little bit. However, it was only after he claimed he couldn’t finish it all that she began to eat heartily. 

These small habits remained the same; it was the significant ones that had changed.

“Are you all right?” Cecilia put down her utensils. 

Nicholas stood up. “I’m okay. A little warm water will do.”

After he took a small cup of warm water and finished it, he indeed felt significantly more comfortable. 

Upstairs, Nathaniel had also awakened. 

Upon hearing a commotion, Cecilia set down her utensils and headed upstairs. 

“I’m here, don’t be afraid,” Cecilia said. 

Upon hearing Cecilia’s voice, Nathaniel’s emotions instantly settled down. 

After washing his face for him, Cecilia then led him downstairs. 

“Let’s go back.” 

They helped Nathaniel into the car and together, they returned to the manor. 

When Nicholas was leaving, he said to Cecilia, “Please help me thank Nathaniel for today.” 

Cécilia was somewhat confused. 

Nicholas immediately explained, “If it weren’t for him, there’s no way I could have spent the entire day with you.” 

After he left, Cecilia was not quite sure what he was trying to convey. 

It wasn’t until Zachary called Cecilia that she understood. He explained that apart from the new injuries on Nathaniel’s body, the pinpricks and blood extraction were all part of administering medication beneficial for his recovery. There was nothing to worry about. 

Only then did Cecilia understand that Nicholas had long ago seen through their tricks.
