When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 157 Love Or Compatibility

Cecilia stepped out of her bedroom in her slippers and realized that Nathaniel had not yet returned.

“When will she come over?”

“We agreed on ten in the morning,” Vivian replied.

“All right; I’m on my way now.

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia pondered for a moment. She decided to send a text message to Nathaniel, letting him know that she was heading to Vivian’s house.

After visiting Vivian’s house today, there was a chance to see Jonathan in the evening.

Though it had only been a few days since they’d last seen each other, to Cecilia, it felt as if it had been an eternity. She found herself wondering how he had been faring recently.

Meanwhile, it was incredibly quiet inside Elite Club.

Zachary hadn’t slept well that morning and was summoned here for a drink.

“Nathaniel, why are you drinking alcohol so early in the morning? You have no idea how busy I’ve been lately.”

Zachary hadn’t even had the chance to take off his white lab coat.

Nathaniel watched him, observing his carefree demeanor.

“Why are you so busy? You’re not married like Darren, after all.”

“You’ve got a wife, so what are you doing here?” Zachary retorted.

Nathaniel choked up when he heard that.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Seeing that his expression wasn’t quite right, Zachary quickly changed the subject.

“I’ve been gearing up to study medicine in depth lately. You wouldn’t believe the number of surgeries I’ve performed these past few days.”

Of course, during this period, he was also secretly investigating Vivian.

He was curious to know when exactly his life had intertwined with this woman’s, and when they had even had a child together.

He didn’t have any memory of such a thing at all.

Nathaniel had not anticipated that his transformation would occur so swiftly.

“Why?”

“What do you mean, ‘why?”

“Hadn’t you once declared you would rather die than become a doctor?”

Upon hearing these words, Zachary lifted his wine glass and hid his expression. “I was just young and naive back then. Studying medicine is a decent choice. It allows me to heal and save people.”

He didn’t tell the truth.

Ever since Cecilia’s return, he had been investigating her hearing impairness and the instances of her cars bleeding.

He yearned to quickly advance his skills as a doctor, aiming to find a way to enable Cecilia to live like a normal person.

This was all he could do for her now.

Nathaniel could tell that he was hiding something from him. Seeing his reluctance to speak. he didn’t press further.

He picked up his phone and upon unlocking it, he saw a text message from Cecilia.

He initially thought it was going to be an apology, but unexpectedly, he found her heading to Vivian’s house again.

Zachary leaned in. “Is Cecilia checking in on you?”

Nathaniel’s thin lips parted slightly. “She said she was going to her best friend’s place to hang out.”

“Oh. You mean Vivian: Zachary asked after pondering for a while.

“Right.”

“Well, let me tell you, these past few days, my old man has been constantly pushing me to go see her.”

Nathaniel raised his eyebrows slightly. “What you don’t like her?”

“Not my cup of tea, replied Zachary,

After hearing him out, Nathaniel advised. “When it comes to seeking a wife, it’s not always necessary to find someone you’re in love with. Compatibility is what matters most.”

“Nathaniel, do you think Cecilia is the right person for you?” Zachary couldn’t help but ask.

After a long silence, Nathaniel finally replied. “She used to be.”

“What about now? Is she not suitable anymore?”

Nathaniel didn’t respond and simply finished the last of his wine from the glass.

Zachary was somewhat displeased. As Nathaniel was about to leave, he asked, “Nathaniel, do you think it’s possible to find happiness with someone you don’t love?”

Nathaniel looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He added, “If you’re unhappy, then I think it would be better for you to end things with that person sooner rather than later. This way, it’s better for both you and her.”

He was different from Nathaniel.

He believed that when it came to finding a wife, it had to be someone he truly loved.

If he had to settle for a suitable woman for the sake of his career, he would never be happy in life.

After getting into the car, Nathaniel deeply contemplated the words Zachary had spoken. He then glanced at the text message that Cecilia had sent him.

After a long hesitation, he replied: Okay.
