Chapter 427 How Should I Address You

In the car, Cecilia was feeling extremely uncomfortable. The doctor had assured her that a small glass of fruit wine wouldn’t cause any harm. However, that day, she felt particularly unwell, overcome by fatigue and heat.

“Nathaniel, where are we going? I think I’m getting carsick.”

“Just lean on me and take a nap. You won’t feel dizzy anymore,” Nathaniel gently coaxed her.

Cecilia leaned against his shoulder, closing her eyes.

The two were incredibly close, so close that Nathaniel could catch the faint fragrance wafting

from her.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed, forcefully suppressing the stirrings within his heart.

Finally, the car arrived at the hospital.

Nathaniel carried Cecilia straight to a private examination room.

For the next hour, they underwent an examination together. Fortunately, the substance added to the alcohol didn’t inflict any harm on their bodies. All they needed to do was wait for the effects of the drug to wear off, and they would be fine..

Zachary rushed into the hospital room. “Nathaniel, what happened?”

At this point, Cecilia had already fallen into a deep sleep.

After motioning for him to quiet down, Nathaniel and Zachary moved outside the sickroom.

“Nathaniel, why did Cecilia come to the hospital?”

“She just ate something she shouldn’t have. It’s not a big deal.”

Initially, Nathaniel was quite worried, which is why he asked Zachary to come over.

After all, he himself couldn’t see.

The events of the day had only served to increase his frustration with his current self. If only he could see, he believed that things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

“It’s good that she’s okay.”

Zachary’s tightly wound nerves slightly relaxed.

Cecilia was once his savior, and he hadn’t even had the chance to repay her. He couldn’t allow anything else to happen to her.

Zachary initially wanted to wait with Nathaniel for Cecilia to wake up. However, not long after, he

was asked to leave.

Left with no choice, he had to depart.

Nathaniel then returned home with Cecilia.

As the latter half of the night fell, Cecilia slowly opened her eyes, only then feeling a bit more clear–headed, as she took in everything within the room.

She shifted slightly, her hand unexpectedly brushing against something warm. Puzzled, she gave it a squeeze. It was unusually firm.

When Cecilia turned around, she found herself face to face with Nathaniel’s handsome and stern face. It was then she realized that the arm she had just pinched belonged to Nathaniel.

She quickly let go of her hold and sat up.

Nathaniel realized she was awake and spoke up, his voice slightly hoarse. “Still tired?”

Cecilia’s cheeks were burning hot as she replied, “No. Perhaps the car ride today exhausted me more than I expected.”

Nathaniel listened to her explanation without exposing her. “Remember to be a bit more careful with what you eat in the future.”

He was blind, so he wouldn’t know if Cecilia did certain things.

“Yeah.”

Cecilia never even considered the possibility that there might be something wrong with the wine.

While drinking today, she had even inquired with the housekeeper, who mentioned that it was simply a low–alcohol content fruit wine, suitable for pregnant women.

“All right, go back to sleep,” he said. The latter half of the night was still ahead.

Cecilia glanced around the room, noting only a single bed present. The couch that had previously been outside was also missing. She didn’t need to think twice to know who was responsible.

Fortunately, the bed was quite large. It would be fine if Cecilia simply slept on the edge.

“Okay.”

Curling up in the corner, Cecilia once again allowed herself to fall into dreamland.

The following morning, she was roused by her alarm clock. Opening her eyes, she realized that she had unknowingly rolled back into Nathaniel’s arms at some point.

prepare Nicholas‘

Dawn had broken. Cecilia, recalling she still had to prepare not to dwell on it. She quickly got ready and slipped out of bed.

engagement party, decided

For the older generation in Tudela, the engagement process was steeped in many traditions, with numerous tasks requiring personal involvement.

Although Cecilia didn’t harbor much affection for the Rainsworth family, Nicholas was very kind to her, so she wanted to help prepare for the engagement party.

Nathaniel had been awake for a while. Seeing her rise stealthily, he didn’t want to embarrass her, so he waited until she had tidied пр and gone downstairs before he sat up.

As soon as Cecilia arrived downstairs, she saw Cassandra approaching to ask, “I didn’t ask last night, but should I address you as my younger sister or as my sister–in–law?”
