Chapter 832 The Vase

Finished

When Cecilia stormed out of Seabay Villa, her anger was even more palpable. It was only yesterday that. she discovered she was not her father’s biological daughter. Overwhelmed, she ran a high fever and fainted, and she was rescued by Nicholas.

She had hoped to find comfort from others, but upon arriving here, she was confronted with Nathaniel’s divorce proposal and was even falsely accused of infidelity.

From beginning to end, he never once questioned why she was taken away by Nicholas.

Thinking about all these, Cecilia felt extraordinarily wronged.

Nathaniel was indeed ill, but did that mean he had lost his ability to reason?

The ring of a cell phone chimed, and instinctively, Cecilia thought it was Nathaniel calling. However, upon picking up, it turned out to be Nicholas instead.

She took the call, and from the other end came the gentle voice of a man. “Have you reached home?”

Not wanting to worry him, Cecilia fibbed. “Yeah.”

“That’s good, but I forgot to ask you this morning, what exactly happened to you yesterday? How did you end up alone in a cemetery?”

Actually, Nicholas had roughly figured out the situation the night before.

“I’m just not feeling well,” Cecilia didn’t want to say much.

Upon hearing these words, Nicholas realized that the present Cecilia was no longer the little girl from the past who used to share everything with him.

His voice was slightly hoarse. “Just make sure you get some rest. Don’t overwork yourself.”

“Um, I’ve been thinking about taking a few days off,” Cecilia said.

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Nicholas couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

He remembered how, during their childhood, Cecilia would share everything with him, no matter what happened.

Without the desire to share, he guessed that she probably didn’t like him anymore.

Meanwhile, at Seabay Villa, a doctor had treated Nathaniel’s wounds.

“Who hit Mr. Rainsworth?” the doctor asked after exiting the room.

He had seldom seen Nathaniel getting hit on the head anymore.

Mason lowered his voice. “Mrs. Rainsworth.”

The doctor was taken aback for a moment before he realized that it was Cecilia.

Chapter 832 The Vase

His curiosity piqued even more, and he couldn’t help but inquire, “How did it happen?”

Finished

When Mason was with people he trusted, his usual aloofness toward strangers was nowhere to be found. He pointed toward a vase not too far away.

“It was that vase. By the time we entered, the vase was already shattered.”

When Mason spoke these words, he had inwardly resolved to keep Lucille a little distant from Cecilia in

the future.

He hoped Lucille would never learn from Cecilia’s violent behavior.

“Why did she hit Mr. Rainsworth? Did Mr. Rainsworth cheat on her?” the doctor asked again.

Just as Mason was about to respond, the person who had been sent to investigate yesterday’s incident returned.

“Dr. Watson, you should head back for now. I’ll give you a call if anything comes up.”

Mason was still hesitant to speak ill of Nathaniel.

The doctor left, albeit reluctantly.

Mason asked his subordinate, “How did the investigation go?”

“Yesterday, Mrs. Rainsworth first made a trip to the hospital to see Paula. I’m not sure what Paula said to her, but she seemed distraught after she left. Then, she made a trip to the cemetery, where she spent about four to five hours. Upon reviewing the surveillance footage, it was discovered that she had fainted. She was discovered by Nicholas and brought to his car.”

After hearing everything, Mason realized that Nathaniel had misunderstood.

After some thought, he decided to seek out Nathaniel.

Mason knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Rainsworth.”

“What’s the matter?”

Nathaniel could still feel his head throbbing.

“Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about Mrs. Rainsworth’s actions yesterday. The person who investigated just reported back. Apparently, she went to the hospital alone to visit Paula yesterday. After that, she went to the cemetery in the western suburbs and stayed there for about Tour to five hours before she passed out. After she was discovered by Nicholas, he took her away in his car.” Mason reported.

Upon hearing this news, a mysterious heaviness settled in the depths of Nathaniel’s heart.
