When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1453

Chapter 1453 Coming Back Tonight 

The next morning. Cecilia woke up on the couch, feeling much less pain in her leg. 

After taking some medicine and applying a fresh dose of ointment, she picked up her phone and saw multiple missed calls and messages from Nicholas. 

She immediately called him back, and he answered quickly. 

“Ceci, why are you only answering now?” Nicholas asked anxiously. 

“Sorry, I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep. I didn’t hear the phone ring,” Cecilia replied, choosing not to mention her leg pain. 

Nicholas let out a sigh of relief. 

“I’m glad you’re fine. I’ve booked a flight and will be back tonight.” 

Hearing this, Cecilia hurriedly said, “There’s no need to rush back. I’m really fine. Work is more important.” 

She didn’t want to disrupt his work. 

“I know work is important, but so are you,” Nicholas interrupted. “Okay, no more arguing. Wait for me tonight.” 

“Okay,” Cecilia replied obediently. 

After hanging up, she glanced at her leg, which looked worse than it had a few days ago. 

If Nicholas came back and saw her injury, he would undoubtedly worry. 

“Hopefully, it’ll heal soon,” Cecilia murmured, blowing gently on the wound. She then got up and freshened up. After having breakfast, she limped her way to the office. 

Meanwhile, Nicholas was preparing to head abroad again. Cassandra couldn’t stop him. 

The incident with someone messaging him last time still lingered in her mind, fueling her suspicions. As soon as Nicholas left, she immediately arranged for someone to follow him. 

“Keep a close eye on Mr. Nicholas, especially the women around him. I don’t care who they are. Report everything to me. Got it?” Cassandra instructed over the phone. 

“Understood, Ms. Evans. Don’t worry.” 

“Okay.” 

Cassandra finally hung up. 

At the company abroad, when Cecilia arrived at her desk that day, she found an envelope placed on it. 

Lysanna approached her with an unusually warm expression. “Cecilia, your performance yesterday was fantastic. This is a monetary gift from the company. Your bonus will be issued with your salary this month.”

Cecilia was pleasantly surprised by the news but could help being skeptical of Lysanna’s sudden 

kindness. 

“Thank you, but I must decline this monetary gift,” Celia said, handing it back to Lysanna.

Lysanna’s smile faltered for a moment. “What are you doing? This is from the company. Why give it to me?” 

“Keep it and treat yourself to something nice,” Lysanna said, her tone like that of a kind elder sister, entirely devoid of her usual sharpness. 

Cecilia had no choice but to accept the envelope. 

After Lysanna left, Cecilia opened it and found a substantial sum, totaling to five thousand in Azanian 

currency.
