Chapter 190 An Old Wound
It wasn’t until the latter part of the night that everything cto an end.
Before Nathaniel fully regained consciousness, he was tightly embracing Cecilia.
Cecilia glanced at the sterile cup beside him, containing something she had struggled to obtain. She knew then it
was tto leave.
She wanted to pull away from Nathaniel’s embrace, but he only held her tighter.
Left with no choice, she had to stealthily hide it under the bed, waiting to take it away after Nathaniel finished his
work the next day.
Looking up at Nathaniel, who was soundly asleep, Cecilia was filled with guilt. Silently, she said, “When |
apologized to you before, | was sincere. However, it wasn’t because | faked my death and left, but for what
happened this time....
He had forcefully impregnated her with Elliot and Jonathan.
Thus, she didn’t feel she betrayed him. Nevertheless, she knew that keeping the truth from him was wrong.

In spite of that, she had to do it. This was the only way she could keep her children by her side.
At dawn the next day, Nathaniel woke up with a slight headache. He looked down at Cecilia, who. was still in his
arms.
He relaxed at the sight, holding her a little tighter..
It was at that moment, he noticed an old scar on Cecilia's back, resembling a knife wound.
Cecilia was awake then. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Nathaniel ask, “What's the story behind the
injury on your back?”
Cecilia was taken aback.
She looked at Nathaniel, filled with sadness and resentment. “You don’t remember?”
This injury is from when | had shielded him in the past, yet he has actually forgotten?
Cecilia felt that Nathaniel and Zachary were truly best friends, both equally ungrateful.
Nathaniel, however, genuinely didn’t remember this incident. “When did this happen?”
Cecilia’s voice turned hoarse. “When | was seventeen.”
It was when Nathaniel first took charge of Rainsworth Group.
Back then, it was unclear whether he was being targeted by a fringe faction of the Rainsworth family or by
individuals from a rival company. He was on the brink of being attacked, but she blocked it, saving him.
Many people in the Rainsworth family are aware of this, yet he has forgotten....
Nathaniel’s hand fell on the wound on her back, his gaze somewhat gloomy. “Who did this?”
Cecilia shook her head.
“I'm not sure. We didn’t manage to catch the perpetrator.”
After a moment of silence, Nathaniel lowered his head and gently kissed Cecilia.
He never really understood how to comfort others; this was the only way he knew how to.
But as his kiss was about to land, it was deftly dodged by Cecilia.
“It’s getting late, you should head to the office,” Cecilia suggested.
She had already gotten what she wanted and had no desire to continue being intimate with him.

The sudden indifference caused Nathaniel’s brows to furrow slightly.
Just last night, she was brimming with passion.
Nathaniel held her tightly and wouldn't let go. “I'm not going to the office.”
He savored the beauty of that moment and attempted to kiss Cecilia again on her cheeks, nose, lips...
Like a lion, his desires were insatiable...
However, Cecilia had already gotten what she wanted. Completely indifferent, she turned her face away.
Every move she made didn’t escape Nathaniel. Although he didn’t understand why her mood fluctuated so
tically, he had been holding back for far too many years.
Soon, the sunlight filtered in, indicating it was already midday.
Cecilia held back Nathaniel. “I'm hungry. | want to eat.”
Only then did he give it a rest, holding her in his arms.
“Sure, I'll have sfood delivered over.”
Caressing Cecilia's hair, Nathaniel was gentler than he had ever been before. “Lethold you a little longer.”
Cecilia found him very peculiar. In the past, the person he despised the most was her. Just a few days ago, he «
even claimed to dislike her. But now, he was acting as if he was quite fond of her.
