SWNOVELS Chapter 421
Chapter 421 When Did He Come Back
Vivian soon realized that the change Martha referred to was solely because of Cecilia.
Nonetheless, there was indeed a noticeable improvement in the way Nathaniel spoke to Martha.
After the team of specialists arrived, they brought along an array of sophisticated medical equipment.
Vivian was amazed. “Ceci, did you find these specialists and medical equipment on your own?”
“Nathaniel helped source them,” Cecilia admitted.
She remained unaware of whether Nathaniel’s involvement was the reason she had managed to secure this team of specialists.
Although Martha was aware, Nathaniel had urged her not to disclose it to Cecilia.
He didn’t want Cecilia to stay in a relationship with him out of a sense of obligation. He didn’t. want her to feel indebted to him.
That was also why Martha believed Nathaniel had changed.
The specialists then spent the entire morning examining and treating her.
Once finished, one of the specialists turned to Cecilia and said, “Ms. Smith, while age–related. diseases cannot be fully cured, we can extend a person’s lifespan through surgery.”
“Understood. When can we schedule the surgery?”
“First, she needs to take the medication for a while. We’ll arrange the surgery appointment. afterward,” the specialist replied.
After a final round of discussion with the specialists, Cecilia escorted them out.
Returning to Martha, she offered reassurance. “The specialists said surgery will significantly improve your health.”
Martha, aware of her condition, didn’t want Cecilia to fret. With a warm smile, she replied, “That’s good to hear. I just want to spend more time with all of you.
Cecilia hummed in response.
Vivian continued to console Martha, and the atmosphere at home was particularly harmonious that day.
Nathaniel had to head to the office. Once the specialist had left, he also departed from the house.
On the road, he called Mason. “Did you figure out what happened yesterday?”
“It’s Nicholas,”
“How about the projects I told you to secure?”
“Everything went according to plan, Mr. Rainsworth,” Mason assured. He was confident that it wouldn’t be long before Nathaniel regained control of the company, well before the end of the year.
Nathaniel then ended the call.
Meanwhile, Vivian accompanied Cecilia to visit Elliot.
At that moment, Elliot lay on the bed in the hospital, gazing out the window with an icy expression.
A nurse approached and said gently, “Eli, your mommy’s here to see you, and she brought a friend along.
Elliot’s usual enthusiasm lit up his face. “Really? Yay!”
Vivian entered the ward ahead of Cecilia and found Elliot lying there, his resemblance to Jonathan striking, though his face was somewhat pale. Unable to resist, she reached out to caress his cheek. “Eli, sweetie, do you remember me?”
Elliot gently avoided her touch and replied playfully, “Ms. Kennedy, I might have forgotten you if you hadn’t come to see me soon.”
His words warmed Vivian’s heart. “I’m sorry, Eli. Would it be all right if I visit you more often in the future?”
“Okay…” After speaking, Elliot turned his attention to Cecilia. To avoid being constantly petted by Vivian, he quickly stood up and went over to Cecilia. “Mommy, you’re here.”
Cecilia crouched down beside him and asked gently, “How have you been feeling lately?”
“I’m feeling great. It doesn’t hurt at all now.”
Cecilia didn’t expect him to put on a tough front. It’s leukemia. How could it possibly not hurt at all?
“Would it be all right if Vivian and I take you out to play today?” Cecilia asked.
Elliot immediately agreed. “Okay.”
Cecilia helped Elliot change his clothes, and the three of them left the hospital for a day out, exploring different areas of the zoo.
Unbeknownst to them, someone was discreetly capturing their moments on camera and recording their outing.
The photos and videos were then sent to Elena.
Upon receiving them, Elena looked at the images and footage with a furrowed brow. “Isn’t Jon still in Tudela? When did he come back?”
