Chapter 1501 Also Deceived
Cecilia had switched rooms, hoping it would offer her better rest. Yet, she spent the night plagued by a series of nightmares.
In her dreams, she saw the passing of her father, the demise of Martha, and the death of Paula.
Much of what happened in her dream was hazy. She only felt a deep sense of sadness, yet when she awoke, she couldn't recall many specifics. Cecilia heaved. The nightmare felt so real like it was from my memories, but why can't I still remember?
She tried her best to recall, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember. Thus, she left her bed and started her morning routine. After freshening up, she headed to the living room, where she saw a familiar face.
It was her younger brother, Magnus. "Cecilia."
When Magnus saw her he smiled.
Upon seeing him, Cecilia didn't exhibit much surprise. It was because she had also encountered Magnus over the course of the year.
"Mhm. What brings you here" Cecilia's tone toward him was noticeably distant.
Nicholas deceived her, and throughout that year, every time Magnus met her, he was helping Nicholas to maintain that lie.
Magnus could tell that Cecilia was not pleased with him. He stood up and approached her, "You're not mad at me, are you, Cecilia? I'm telling you, I was also deceived by Nicholas." Cecilia was confused. "What do you mean?"
"Nicholas told me that Nathaniel wasn't truly sincere toward you, that only he could bring you happiness. I thought about how Nathaniel did treat you poorly in the past. As your family, of course, I hope you can find someone who loves you more," Magnus articulated each word carefully.
However, Cecilia didn't really believe his words.
"Really? Well, now I know. Is there anything else you need?" asked Cecilia.
Magnus then responded, "How's your memory recovery going now? Have you remembered anything?"
Cecilia didn't reveal the truth to him. She simply shook her head. "No, I didn't remember anything."
"All right, don't worry. You'll surely remember," Magnus assured, pointing toward the fruit basket beside them. "I brought you some fruit. Eat more. It's good for your health."
Cecilia nodded. "Thank you."
Only then did Magnus leave.
Once he was outside, he noticed the area was deserted. He then got into a car.

"How's Ceci?" In the end, Nicholas still couldn't help but worry about Cecilia.
Magnus immediately responded with a smile, "She is fine. She even said she couldn't remember anything."
Nicholas' face remained etched with worry when he heard that, yet he said nothing.
Magnus spoke again. "Nicholas, I told you before that long delays cause complications, and you should have married my sister while you were still abroad. Once It was pointless of him to say all that at that moment.
woman is married, she's bound."
Once Nicholas confirmed that Cecilia was all right, he changed the subject. "Let's go back to the office." Although he was no longer the CEO of Orion Corporation, he still had his own company. "All right." Magnus readily agreed.
On the surface, he showed nothing but respect and deference to Nicholas. However, privately, he was upset.
Even though he had always been the one managing the company, once Nicholas lost his position as the CEO of Orion Corporation, the company had somehow become his again.
It was the fruit of his labor!
Nicholas was oblivious to Magnus' thoughts, his eyes closed throughout the journey, lost in his own world. Even when Cassandra called, he didn't bother to answer
Cassandra couldn't get through to Nicholas on the phone, causing frustration to sweep over her at home.
After having breakfast early, Cecilia and Nathaniel headed to the countryside, intending to visit the place where she used to live.
The journey was long, and during the trip, she couldn't help but fall asleep in the car.
After she fell asleep, Nathaniel gently swept her into his arms, allowing her to rest on his shoulder.
