When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377 The Crafty Elliot
Early in the morning, Elena had gone to the Smith residence to visit Elliot, only to find out that the latter's illness had relapsed and he had been hospitalized.

In front of Elliot, it was difficult for Cecilia to reveal his medical condition.

“It's nothing serious,” she said. “The doctor advised him to rest more. He'll recover soon.”

“That's a relief.” Elena let out a sigh, quickly rushing to Elliot's side. “Sweetie, why has your illness flared up again? Haven't you been taking your medication on time?”

Upon seeing Elena arrive, Elliot knew he had to make use of the opportunity.

First, he sent Cecilia out to buy him some tasty treats. Then, he immediately put on a pitiful act in front of Elena. “Grandma, I've always been good, it's just that...”

He paused, tears rolling down his cheeks.

“Someone... someone was bullying me.”

“What?” Elena's temper flared instantly. “Who bullied you? Tell me,, and I will avenge you!”

Elena had never anticipated that someone would dare to bully her grandson.

Elliot sniffed, “It was Aunt Cassandra.”

Cassandra?

At first, Elena couldn't recall who it was. After a moment, she asked, “Are you referring to Cassandra, your uncle's wife?”

“Right.” Elliot nodded repeatedly, then added tearfully, “It was she who hit me, and she even wanted to hit Jon.”

After hearing this, disbelief filled Elena's eyes. “How could she resort to hitting a child?”

“She even threatened to kill me and my brother,” Elliot emphasized. “She declared that only her son could carry on the Rainsworth family's lineage, and not either of us.”

This statement truly blew Elena's mind.

She was certain a child wouldn't tell such a lie and also that Cecilia would never teach these things to her children.

“She's so ruthless, even children are not spared!”
