SWNOVELS Chapter 905
Chapter 905 Do Not Hurt Her
Ethan’s subordinates hastened their pace, and in no time, they had buried Cecilia and Jessica up until their legs.
Jessica, who was covered in dust, was far from ready to meet her end. “Nathaniel, you have to save me and Cecilia. We are almost half buried,” she pleaded.
Cecilia merely cradled her belly with her hand, remaining silent all the while.
She knew that under normal circumstances, Ethan would certainly not let her and Jessica off the hook just because Nathaniel bowed to him.
He might even make Nathaniel do even more undignified things.
“Nathaniel, even if you don’t care about me, you should at least care about the child in your wife’s belly!”
The moment Jessica spoke, Cecilia wished that she had met her doom earlier!
“Jessica, even if you don’t speak, nobody will think you’re mute.” Cecilia had long been aware of Ethan’s ruthlessness and cunning, so she tucked her tummy in early on.
Sure enough, Ethan finally noticed Cecilia’s belly. “Oh my, are you pregnant again? I had completely forgotten.”
“Help Mrs. Rainsworth to her feet.”
Upon hearing this, several people moved to seize Cecilia. Panic–stricken, Cecilia shielded herself.
Yet, she was no match for the several grown men, who swiftly dragged her out against her will.
Nathaniel clenched his fists tightly. “Let her go!”
Not only did Ethan refuse to let Cecilia go, he even questioned the others present at the scene.
“Have any of you encountered someone like Mrs. Rainsworth – a woman who is pregnant yet still beautiful?”
Those people responded with a peculiar smile, “No.”
“Then, I’ll treat you all to a feast today.”
Cecilia’s mind was blown. She hadn’t expected Ethan to come up with such a despicable scheme.
She couldn’t help but step back. “Don’t come any closer!”
“Don’t hurt her! I’ll kneel.” A voice echoed, not particularly loud, but enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Upon seeing the situation, Ethan told his subordinates to stand down for the moment.
Nathaniel slowly sank to his knees, and the moment his knees touched the ground, Cecilia was completely taken aback.
She never imagined that Nathaniel would kneel before Ethan for her sake!
“Bow down to me!” Ethan commanded, his face devoid of emotion.
Nathaniel’s hands clenched tightly, making a cracking sound.
When Nathaniel gave Ethan a profound bow, the latter had never felt as triumphant as he did that day.
Back then, in order to survive, he had humbled himself countless times before Nathaniel, even going so far as to grovel and flatter him excessively.
He finally managed to reclaim the dignity he had lost.
“I really didn’t expect this, you’ve actually left yourself at my mercy.”
Nathaniel remained silent as he bowed his head–repeatedly.
Ethan’s subordinates counted carefully until Nathaniel bowed his head a hundred times.
“Can you let them go now?” Nathaniel asked.
“Let Jessica go.” Ethan understood now. As long as he had Cecilia in his hands, he could make Nathaniel do anything he wanted.
Nathaniel knew Ethan wouldn’t let go of Cecilia easily.
By the time Jessica was pulled out of the pit, she was already drained of energy.
At that moment, Ethan lifted his right arm again. As he rolled up his sleeve, everyone was stunned to discover that his arm was actually a prosthetic.
“This arm of mine was ruined by you. Do you really think I’d let you off so easily?”
Ethan pulled out a dagger and tossed it before Nathaniel.
“Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. Now, ruin your right hand.”
“Would you really spare Cecilia if I do that?” Nathaniel retorted.
“Do you really think you’re in a position to negotiate with me right now? Your wife and your unborn child are in my hands! If you don’t want her to be disgraced, then know your place!”
After hearing that, Nathaniel no longer hesitated. He fumbled on the ground and picked up the dagger.
In the next moment, he swung his knife, causing his right arm to gush with fresh blood!
