Chapter 525 Medical Parole.

After Cecilia returned, she indeed received news that Paula had been granted medical parole.

Norman called her. “Ceci, did you get the message | sent you? The hospital's report says Paula has a brain

tumor, so her family secured her medical parole.”

“Yes, | saw it.”

Cecilia stood outside, letting the wind and snow hit her face. “Mr. Jenkins, Paula isn’t sick. This is just a tactic

she’s using to avoid punishment.”

“I thought the same. There's no way it’s such a coincidence. She hasn't even been in custody for a month and

now suddenly has a brain tumor? Impossible.”

“Is there any way to get her back in prison?”

Cecilia didn’t want Martha's death to be in vain.

Though Paula wasn’t the one who directly killed Martha, it was her relentless pressure that drove Martha to such

a tragic end.

“Unless we can prove the hospital issued a fake report.” Norman sighed. “But if they faked the report, they won't

easily admit it.”

“Can we get other doctors to reassess her?” Cecilia asked.

“Normally, yes, but Paula definitely won't cooperate.”

Cecilia felt a heavy weight in her chest. Am | letting Paula get away with this?

“Wait.” Norman suddenly remembered something. “Ceci, could you ask Mr. Rainsworth to help? He's friends with

Zachary, right? If Zachary steps in, the hospital wouldn't dare falsify records.”

After all, most of Tudela’s medical resources were controlled by the Sinclair family. Even smaller hospitals relied

on them for survival.

Cecilia hesitated for a moment. “I'll think about it.”

She didn’t want to owe Zachary any favors.

After hanging up, Cecilia remained outside, reluctant to go back in.

She had no idea how long she had been standing there when she heard a loud crash from upstairs, snapping her

back to reality. She rushed inside and up the stairs.

The noise had cfrom the study. When she entered, she saw Nathaniel had fallen to the ground.

Cecilia hurried to help him up. “Are you okay?”

Nathaniel felt her hand touch his arm and immediately pulled away. “I'm fine.”

Cecilia noticed but didn’t pay it much mind.

“How did you fall? You've been hlong enough and should be familiar with the layout by now.

Once he becfamiliar with his home, aside from occasionally breaking things, he rarely stumbled.

“I forgot there was a chair there,” Nathaniel replied.

“Be more careful next time. When you walk, use your hands to feel around first,” Cecilia advised.

“Mhm.”

As he moved forward again, Nathaniel suddenly bumped into the corner of a desk.

He lurched forward, and Cecilia instinctively reached out to catch him.

Given Nathaniel’s height of one point nine meters, it was impossible for Cecilia to support him. Her arms

wrapped around him.

With a loud thud, they both fell to the ground together.

Nathaniel’s hand instinctively protected Cecilia’s head, but his entire body ended up on top of her.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he spoke in a low voice. “Weren't you the one who said we should keep our

distance?”

Cecilia's face turned bright red. She tried to get up, but Nathaniel pinned her back against him. “Now that we've

touched, do you despise me?”

He gently cradled the back of her head, pressing her face against his chest.

“Carel”

His voice deepened. “Shall we give it a try?”

Cecilia was confused. “Try what?”

Nathaniel leaned down and kissed her. “Try and see if you really hate me.”

Back when they got married, she had known about his past relationship with Stella. It was only now that she

seemed to care. Did it mean she didn’t love him anymore?

He needed to find out if she truly couldn't stand being close to him. &
