Chapter 70 I Know You Were Pregnant
She had assumed that he remembered this place and was using it to force her to admit that she hadn’t lost her memory.
However, he didn’t do that.
Nathaniel’s well–defined hand tightened around the steering wheel, his expression complex. “How’s the child doing, Cecilia?”
He still remembered when Zachary had given him Cecilia’s medical records, which indicated that she had been pregnant for two weeks.
He hadn’t asked before now, hoping that Cecilia would take the initiative to speak.
Upon hearing his question, Cecilia’s pupils contracted. “What child?”
Nathaniel parked the car before looking at Cecilia; his mood was particularly oppressive.
“I know you were pregnant back then.”
His piercing gaze was fixed intently on Cecilia, as if he was trying to see right through her.
Cecilia was terrified that he had already discovered Jonathan.
Though she had prepared herself, she was still afraid to face Nathaniel now, fearful that he might take Jonathan and Elliot away from her.
She forced herself to remain calm as she replied, “All I remember is the doctor telling me that I had a miscarriage.”
Nathaniel’s mood plummeted in an instant.
He should have known that the child couldn’t possibly exist. If they did, how could Cecilia have possibly returned alone?
The people he had sent to follow her had been observing her for quite some time, yet they had never spotted a child.
Moreover, how could Cecilia, being so frail at that time, possibly have given birth to a child?
Nathaniel’s throat tightened, leaving him speechless for quite some time.
On their way back, Cecilia felt particularly uneasy.
As soon as she got home the couldn’t help bur dial Calvin’s number
The call was quickly answered, and a man’s magnetic voice came through.
“What happened, Ceci?”
Calvin knew that unless there was something important, Cecilia would not take the initiative.
to call him.
“Today, Nathaniel sought me out and asked about a child. He knows that I was previously. pregnant,” Cecilia truthfully reported..
A moment later, Calvin’s comforting voice came from the other end. “Don’t worry, I’ve had someone change Jon and Eli’s birth dates.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Cecilia knew that she had momentarily lost her composure.
“Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, no one can take Eli and Jonathan away.”
At that moment, far across thousands of kilometers, Calvin was standing atop a skyscraper by the sea.
Behind him, in a large conference room, a group of executives were waiting for him to finish his phone call so they could continue with the meeting.
After hanging up the phone, Calvin felt a sense of reluctance.
He then instructed his assistant, “Make sure to keep a close eye on Eli. We absolutely cannot let anyone from Nathaniel’s side discover him.”
Recently, he had noticed that someone was looking into Cecilia’s past.
He had not expected Nathaniel’s influence to be so vast that he managed to trace her all the way here.
As he was worried about alarming Cecilia, he chose not to tell her.
That night, Cecilia had a nightmare.
In the dream, Nathaniel had discovered both children. Not only did he reject them, but he also wanted the two children to vanish from the surface of the earth.
She jolted awake, her forehead slick with cold sweat.
She still remembered how, when she had first gotten married to Nathaniel, Elena kept urging them to start planning for a baby.
At the time, Nathaniel had said to her, “Setting aside whether I will actually touch you, even if
I did and you got pregnant, I’wouldn’t allow the child to be born.”
With that memory swirling in her mind, Cecilia found it impossible to fall asleep again.
It seemed she had to hurry up.
The next day, Cecilia chose an outfit that accentuated her figure and applied delicate makeup.
When she left home, Cecilia tucked her tools into her bag, just in case she might need them.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
