When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1663 At The Hospital

Nathaniel shot them a glance. "I don't have time to take care of you two."

He left with Cecilia in his arms.

The two children tried to follow but were stopped by the nanny.

"Mr. Jonathan, Mr. Elliot, please stay at home and don't make things harder for Mr. Rainsworth."

Elliot protested, "No, I have to go with Mommy. I won't feel at ease otherwise!"

Jonathan, however, remained calm and tugged at Elliot's hand.

"Forget it. It's too late. Let's stay home and wait for updates. We don't want to cause trouble." Hearing that, Elliot reluctantly gave up.

Outside, Nathaniel carried Cecilia into the car and told the driver to head to the hospital.

On the way, Cecilia placed her hand on Nathaniel's chest. "So firm," she muttered, patting it and inexplicably swallowing hard.

Nathaniel's body stiffened. Her action seemed to set him on fire.

He grabbed her mischievous hand.

"Stop it."

-But Cecilia couldn't control herself and leaned toward Nathaniel.

With her hand restrained, she rubbed her face against his neck instead.

Nathaniel felt as though millions of ants were crawling over him, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Ceci, what's going on with

you today?"

He was struggling to hold himself together.

Cecilia didn't know what was wrong either, only that she couldn't control her body.

"Nathaniel, where are we going?" she asked, forcing herself to focus.

"To the hospital, to check if there's something wrong with you," Nathaniel replied.

Cecilia shook her head. "I don't want to go to the hospital. Don't worry, I'm fine, really."

She leaned closer, looking up at him, her warm breath brushing against him.

Nathaniel pulled her into his arms. "Stop it. If you keep this up, don't blame me for what happens next."

"Blame you for what?" Cecilia asked, her now-free hand roaming again.

Nathaniel could no longer hold back. He instructed the driver to pull over.

Cecilia didn't resist, her hands continuing their wandering.

The fire in Nathaniel's chest burned even hotter. "Ceci, you're the one initiating this."

He reminded her, worried she'd blame him when she sobered up.

Feeling desperate herself, Cecilia murmured, "Mm."

The night was deep.

Back at home, the two children still hadn't received any news from Nathaniel.

Unable to wait any longer, they called him.

The first call was immediately disconnected.

When they tried again, the phone was turned off.

"What's going on?" Elliot asked, panicking.

"I really don't know." Jonathan also became flustered.

Could something have happened to their parents?

Jonathan, usually rational and composed, had completely lost his cool. He headed for the door.

Elliot followed. "Jon, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Grandma," Jonathan said.

At this hour, Elena was still awake, sitting with Nicholas and her two grandchildren.

Jonathan rushed in. "Grandma!"

Elena was somewhat puzzled as she observed his frantic demeanor.

"What's wrong?"

"After Daddy and Mommy left, we couldn't reach them. I'm worried something's happened," Jonathan explained briefly.

Elena's expression grew serious, but she comforted the boys. "Don't worry. I'll call and check."

She dialed Nathaniel's number, but like before, his phone was turned off.

"What's going on? Nathaniel never turns off his phone."
