When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1308

Chapter 1308 Indifferent Treatment
“This isn't about others; it's about the Jamieson family!” Cecilia looked up at Nathaniel. “Do you see the scar on my face? Even though it's not as visible now, I haven't forgotten who did this to me.”

A knot formed in Nathaniel's throat as he remembered how he had failed to protect her back then.

“And I won't let Jon get kidnapped again. But right now, my hands are tied. All I can do is look for the Jamiesons' weak spots.” Cecilia clenched her fists, her resolve burning.

She would never forgive or forget anyone who dared harm her son, no matter how much time had passed. She was determined to make them pay.

Nathaniel pulled her into a tight embrace. “From now on, I'll be with you. Trust me, the Jamiesons won't last much longer, and you won't have to face this alone. You can tell me everything—I'll handle it.”

Cecilia shook her head after a moment of quiet reflection. “No. I've come to realize one thing: the only people we can truly rely on are ourselves.”

After finishing her words, Cecilia added, “What if you're no longer around? Do you remember the last time you had surgery?”

Nathaniel swallowed hard, but a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“You're right,” he admitted. “But I promise to live well from now on. You can be independent, but don't forget I'll always be here for you.”

Cecilia chuckled softly. Promise to live well from now on?

“Got it,” she replied.

It had been a long time since the two of them shared such a light and enjoyable conversation.

When they arrived home, the women in the household couldn't help but notice that their relationship seemed to have taken a step forward.

Nathaniel was in high spirits, and when he went to work the next day, the company buzzed with a cheerful energy.

Last night, when Cassina and Cassandra left home one after the other, Queenie noticed their departure and even sent someone to follow Cassandra.

It was then she learned about the unexpected incident involving Bailey.

“Why hasn't Cassie mentioned anything to me?” Queenie asked, puzzled.

Caliste was also in the dark. “Perhaps she's afraid you'd worry.”
