When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 603 Blind Man And Deaf Woman

through the bedroom window in

The weather had unexpectedly warmed, and sunlight strew outside had melted, leaving only soft, golden specks. By the time Cecilia awoke, most of the faint traces behind.

She glanced at the clock–it was already nine in the morning. Today was the day she would visit the hospital to have her bandages removed.

Just as Cecilia was about to leave the house after getting everything ready for Elliot, he grabbed. her hand, stopping her in her tracks. “Mommy, Mr. Rainsworth is really my daddy, isn’t he?” he asked, his voice small but insistent.

Cecilia knew this moment would come eventually. With a deep breath, she nodded. “Yes.”

“Mommy, I have a daddy now. I’m not an unwanted child anymore, right?” Elliot’s eyes sparkled with hope.

The words “unwanted child” hit Cecilia like a wave of guilt, stirring a deep discomfort within her. She came to realize just how much her sons had suffered alongside her over the years.

“Of course, you and Jon have a daddy and a mommy,” she said.

Elliot replied, “Mommy, when you come back from the hospital today, let’s go visit Jon at the kindergarten with Daddy. It will be a nice surprise for him.”

Hearing that, Cecilia thought of how Nathaniel had been giving her the cold shoulder and wondered whether he would agree.

“Eli, if you want to see Jon, we can go ourselves.” Pausing, she explained, “Daddy might be busy with work, so he may not have time.”

“I asked him yesterday. He said he has time in the afternoon,” Elliot stated matter–of–factly. Cecilia found herself in a difficult position, unable to either refuse or agree.

“Mommy, please,” Elliot pleaded, gently shaking Cecilia’s hand.

Cecilia said with resignation, “All right then.”

“I’ll wait for you and Daddy to come home,” Elliot said, his eyes brimming with happiness.

For some reason, a sense of unease crept over Cecilia as she watched Elliot so readily accept Nathaniel as his father and start calling him “Daddy.” It felt as though the son she had raised was being taken away from her in an instant.

Still, she knew she couldn’t be selfish. From what it seemed, Nathaniel and the Rainsworth family would treat both brothers well. They deserved the chance to experience their father’s love and the care that came with being part of the Rainsworth family.

She made her way to the hospital. After confirming that her wounds had healed, the doctor carefully removed the gauze from her face.

A scar now traced across her skin–a harsh reminder of just how mathless Cecilia had been to herself.

“Surgery will be necessary later to fully heal. Otherwise, the scan will remain for life” the doctor said, glancing at Cecilia’s once–beautiful face now marked by the wound, fasting worry for her.

“All right, I understand.” Although Cecilia seemed calm, she still found herself instinctively mrying to hide the scar on her face when she left the hospital.

Miranda was taking her son for a follow–up check when she happened to see Catlin mepping out, her face marred by a terrifying scar. She couldn’t help but make a sarcastic read. “Well well. Looks like karma finally caught up with you.”

Felix also made a face at Cecilia. “Ew. Mommy, her face is so ugly.”

Miranda’s lips curled into a sly smile as she advised her son, “Remember, darling, we must avoid doing wrong. If we don’t, karma might catch up with us, and we could end up just like her”

Cecilia felt that Miranda’s way of educating her child would eventually lead to mobile

She didn’t pay any attention to the two of them and just kept on walking.

Miranda wouldn’t stop talking. “Why didn’t your blind husband come with you today? A blindl man and a deaf woman, what a perfect match indeed.”

At the sound of the insulting words, Cecilia stopped in her tracks, her hands clenching into tight fists.

She still had to pick up Elliot and go visit Jonathan, so she continued to ignore Miranda.

Miranda watched her retreating figure and continued pushing her luck, taunting Cecilia.

In the past, she had always envied Cecilia, thinking she was lucky to have married Nathaniel. Bar now, she realized that Adrian was the better choice. At least he wasn’t blind and had his own career.

She said to Felix, “Felix, let’s go to kindergarten.”
