Chapter 385 An Orphan
Elena pinched her palm, refusing to admit her own mistakes. She lowered her voice and said to Cecilia, “If it
weren't for you not bearing a child despite being married to Nathaniel for such a long time, | would not have
been in such a rush to find someone to replace him.”
In the realm of family businesses, it was utterly absurd for a boss not to have any children.
“You've no right to lecture me. Who doesn’t love their own child?” Elena snapped before leaving.
Cecilia stood there, feeling an inexplicable wave of sadness wash over her because her mother never showed
her any affection.
That was why she had stepped forward earlier, meddling in affairs that weren't her business.
As she was lost in thought, her hand was suddenly grasped from behind.
“Thank you.” Nathaniel said, his mood better than it had ever been before.
When he grabbed her hand, Cecilia snapped back to reality and quickly pulled away. “You don’t need to thank
me. | was just being impulsive because I felt sorry for you. It’s nothing more than that.

After saying that, she immediately headed toward Martha’s room, wondering if the commotion datairs had
disturbed the latter.
Fortunately, Jonathan had accompanied Sven to go shopping and didn’t see Elena.
Meanwhile, Elena was on her way home, nursing a throbbing headache.
Cecilia has grown bold, daring to lecture me,
bold, daring to lecture me, her own mother-in-law!
She pinched the bridge of her nose, urging the driver to speed up.
The car had just passed through the center of the town. Encountering straffic, it was forced to slow down.
Feeling frustrated, Elena opened the window. It was at that moment she spotted a familiar figure not far off.
“Jon! What are you doing here?”
Elena instructed the driver to stop the car, got out, and ran after Jonathan.
Recently, her life had been rather hectic. However, Elena was persistently investigating Jonathan's background.
She had previously assumed that Ernest was Jonathan's father. However, upon privately questioning Ernest later
on, she discovered that this was not the case.
After conducting a thorough investigation, she discovered that Vivian had never had a boyfriend while she was
abroad. She was largely celibate and did not have any children.
Jon is not Vivian's son at all! Upon realizing this, Elena had people discreetly search for Jon's biological mother,
for she felt that the child bore an uncanny resemblance to Nathaniel.
He might just be Nathaniel’s illegitimate son.
After covering a considerable distance, Elena still hadn't spotted Jonathan. She began to doubt her own eyes and
reluctantly got back into the car.
Not far away, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.
How did Elena end up here?
“Mr. Sven, let's hurry back,” he said.
He realized that Elena had definitely clooking to cause trouble for either his sc*mbag daddy or his mommy.
“Alright.”
Upon seeing that his family was still around upon arriving home, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.
He went to see Martha, and after a lengthy conversation with the caregiver, he discovered that Elena had come
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmby, seemingly with the intention of taking his father home. However, it appeared that the latter was unwilling to
return.
When Cecilia saw that Jonathan had returned, she thought of going to see Elliot, who was undergoing treatment
in the hospital. With New Year's Day approaching, she couldn't bear the thought of leaving him alone in the
hospital.
She knocked on Nathaniel’s door, then stepped inside.
“There's something | need to tell you.” Cecilia paused momentarily. “Mason should have mentioned to you
already that | have another child; his nis Elliot. I'm planning to bring him htonight, and I need you to
watch your words. His health isn’t the best.”
Cecilia was merely informing him, not seeking his approval.
After informing him, Cecilia went to the hospital to pick up Elliot.
Elliot was different from Jonathan. He resembled an ordinary, typical four-year-old more. Thus, Cecilia felt that it
was better to keep him in the dark.
Once they arrived at the hospital, she said, “Elliot, we've taken in Mr. Rainsworth, the man we met before. He's
in a pitiful state, blind and ill, with no one to care for him.”
Elliot played along with his mother who had underestimated him. “Mommy, | understand. Mr. Rainsworth must «
be an orphan, right?”
