When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893 Moving Back Together

Nathaniel awkwardly lifted his hands to embrace her.

“I'm feeling much better now, thank you.” Cecilia's emotions had calmed, and she gently pulled away from his embrace.

The moment she stepped away, the sudden emptiness in his arms made him feel as though something vital had been taken from him.

Soon, the doctor came out with the test results, reassuring them that Elliot's condition hadn't worsened and hoping the news would bring them some relief.

Elliot was soon moved to a regular ward.

Cecilia entered the room, her eyes filled with concern. “Eli, are you still in pain?”

Elliot, feeling a bit guilty, shook his head. “Not anymore, Mommy.”

He then looked over at Nathaniel, who stood nearby. “Daddy...”

“Yes?” Nathaniel responded solemnly.

Elliot began to plead. “Daddy, can you please come back and stay with Mommy?”

Elliot's eyes filled with tears. “The kids at preschool said that when Mommy and Daddy live apart, it means they're getting a divorce. Does that mean you and Mommy don't want me and Jon anymore? Jon has Old Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Zachary, and Ms. Kennedy, but I only have you guys.”

As Elliot voiced his concerns, Mason, who was standing outside, overheard and felt a pang of sympathy for the boy.

Mason quietly vowed to himself that when he and Lucille had children, he would never argue with her, no matter what. He would never live apart from her, regardless of the circumstances.

Cecilia hadn't realized the emotional toll their separation had taken on Elliot, and her heart sank with guilt.

“Eli, Mommy and Daddy aren't getting a divorce,” she reassured him.

Elliot turned away. “I don't believe it. If you're not, why don't you live together? Why did Daddy move to a new place, and why did you?”

Cecilia didn't know how to respond.

Fearing that his emotional distress would worsen his condition, Cecilia quickly responded, “Let's go back home today, okay?”
