When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 923 Owe Him An Apology

Felix was frightened when he heard there was surveillance cameras at the party.

But he still stubbornly said, “Fine.”

Cecilia continued, “So if the footage shows that Eli didn’t push you but that you pushed him, shouldn’t you also apologize?”

Felix didn’t think apologizing was a big issue, so he nodded in agreement.

“Okay.”

While they were talking, Nathaniel had already handed the matter over to the butler of Rainsworth Manor. Soon, the surveillance footage from that time was sent over.

Cecilia took the footage and showed it to everyone present.

In the footage, it was clear that Felix had pushed Elliot. The reason Felix had fallen into the pond too was that Elliot had been holding onto his clothes.

At this point, everything became clear.

Initially, Niel had been on Felix’s side, but now he was furious.

“Felix, how could you lie?”

Once was forgivable, but Felix had lied more than once.

Niel still remembered that during All Souls‘ Day, Felix had intentionally pushed Elliot. In the end, Felix had fallen himself.

Felix was still a child. His tears began to fall.

Elena had always disliked him. She frowned upon seeing him bully her grandson over and over again.

“At such a young age, you’re already so malicious. Is this what your parents taught you? Do you even know that Eli has leukemia? Pushing him into the pond was like pushing him to his death!” Elena was furious.

Felix cried even louder. “I was wrong! I won’t do it again!”

Being scolded by several adults made him completely break down.

Cecilia was puzzled. How could a child hold such a grudge and even want to put another child in danger?

This time, Niel wasn’t swayed by Felix’s tears.

“Apologize to Eli!”

Felix had no choice but to cry while apologizing to Elliot, “I’m sorry, I won’t push you again.”

Elliot still wasn’t feeling well, but he understood that Felix was only a five–year–old child.

No matter what he had done, there wouldn’t be any real consequences.

“It’s okay, I forgive you,” Elliot said weakly.

He hadn’t really forgiven Felix, but he wanted to show everyone who the real well–behaved child was.

As expected, after Elliot said that, Niel felt a surge of sympathy for him. He took out a white bead from his pocket, which looked like emerald, and handed it to Elliot.

“Eli, here, this is a relic from a high priest who passed away. I’m giving it to you to keep you safe.”

Niel’s words surprised everyone present.

Relics were something that couldn’t be bought with money. This particular one had been obtained by Niel through certain means when he was younger, and it was worth a fortune.

Felix was especially envious and jealous. He had once asked Niel for the relic, but Niel hadn’t given it to him: Now he was giving it to Elliot.

Felix thought Elliot would eagerly take it, but instead, Elliot shook his head. “Great–grandpa, I don’t want it. You keep it for yourself and live a long life.”

Niel’s face broke into a broad smile. He insisted on giving the relic to Elliot.

“Don’t worry, I have many of these. You’re not in good health, so you should keep it.”

It was in this moment that Niel truly seemed to accept Elliot as his great–grandson.

Seeing this, Elliot no longer refused. “Thank you, Great–grandpa.”

And just like that, the whole situation was resolved.

When Adrian and Miranda arrived, Niel scolded them, telling them not to bring Felix along anymore.

“I’ll hire a personal tutor for Felix. You two only need to check on him occasionally.”

They had raised the child all wrong.
