Chapter 294 Not An Act

Cecilia still didn’t believe in the whole amnesia thing, given that she herself had used this trick before.

She ripped her hand away. “Stop pretending, Nathaniel. I know for sure you haven’t lost your memory.”

The man’s hand fell empty, and he began to search around once more.

“Where are you, Ceci?”

He couldn’t see, so all he could do was fumble around blindly.

The wound that had just been bandaged was on the verge of splitting open again.

Because his injuries were severe, he felt as if his head had been struck by a massive rock after the intense physical exertion he had just gone through. After the nurse administered a sedative, he could no longer resist the pull of unconsciousness and succumbed to a deep sleep.

Even before falling asleep, he still mumbled Cecilia’s name..

The doctor asked to speak to both Cecilia and Elena.

“You mustn’t agitate the patient further, Ms. Smith. Based on our diagnosis, Mr. Rainsworth suffered a concussion and neural damage in his brain due to the car accident, resulting in loss of memory. It’s not an act. There are many such cases both nationally and internationally.”

Cecilia found herself pondering over Nathaniel’s earlier demeanor, confused. “Why does he remember me, then?”

“While we were operating on Mr. Rainsworth, he kept calling your name. I believe that’s the

reason.”

Elena had never expected that her son would genuinely fall for Cecilia.

She couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at the recollection of Nathaniel pushing her aside earlier just for Cecilia. “Will my son’s memory ever come back, Dr. Lazlo?” she asked.

“It really depends on his condition. Our modern medicine is rather lacking when it comes to treating cranial nerves.” The doctor let out a sigh.

In other words, his recovery was not certain.

“What about his eyes? Will he be able to see again?”

The doctor shook his head in distress.

Elena was stricken with grief. What was to become of the corporation now that Nathaniel had gone blind and even lost his memory?

ad already sensed something was off and were awaiting

Sure enough, voices could soon be heard from downstairs.

“Am I not even allowed to come and check on my own cousin?”

“Sorry, but no one can come in without Mdm. Elena’s permission.”

“Don’t you know who I am?” Adrian lifted the bodyguard by his collar with one hand. “Let me in, or you’ll regret it.”

Hearing the clamor from downstairs, Elena turned to Cecilia.

“Nathaniel is like this because he wanted to save you. You should stay and take care of him.”

After she finished speaking, she headed downstairs.

Then, Cecilia could hear her reprimanding Adrian. “Nathaniel just went to sleep. Are you sure you want to see him?”

Adrian was particularly terrified of Nathaniel, so naturally, he didn’t dare proceed.

He could only return home, disgruntled.

He had clearly heard about the severe car accident, so how could Nathaniel be fine now?

Cecilia returned to the ward, mulling over the doctor’s words. The injury had affected Nathaniel’s cranial nerves, and he had genuinely lost his memory. It wasn’t an act.

Indeed, if he hadn’t lost his memory, how could he possibly have come to terms with the fact that he was now permanently blind?

She watched Nathaniel, who was quietly unconscious on the hospital bed, and fell into deep thought.

It was so late that she eventually dozed off beside him.

As the sky outside gradually lightened, Cecilia felt a large hand gently stroking her head. She opened her eyes and realized that Nathaniel had woken up.

“You’re awake.”

The man paused briefly, feeling somewhat hesitant. “I’m thirsty, Ceci.”

Cecilia felt somewhat uneasy with the way he was speaking to her now.

“Alright, I’ll go get you some water.”

She moved his hand aside and went to fetch a cup of warm water for him.

After a short while, he spoke again. “Ceci.”

“I’m here.”

“I haven’t been to the bathroom for a while now.”
