Chapter 721 Worried About Nathaniel

The two spent the afternoon discussing work matters. Come evening, Charlotte insisted that Cecilia and Calvin stay for dinner.
After they had finished eating, they gossiped privately when they went to the restroom.
“Boss, have you made up your mind?” Charlotte asked.
Cecilia didn’t find it odd, asking, “About what?”
“Are you with Mr. Reese?” Charlotte’s large eyes gazed at her. “Didn’t you come back this time for him?”
Cecilia choked up. Should I say yes or no? Both options don’t seem right.
“Calvin and I are just friends. Don’t overthink it.”
Charlotte couldn’t help but feel disappointed. “I was hoping that you and Mr. Reese would be together, so I could feast my eyes every day.”
Cecilia gently tapped her.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Charlotte continued to ask, “If it’s not Mr. Reese, could it possibly be Mr. Rainsworth?”
She had encountered Nathaniel before, a truly remarkable individual who was undeniably attractive.
Cecilia was truly done with Charlotte.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late. We should rest early.”
After agreeing to leave together, just as they were about to head to the private room, Cecilia suddenly froze in his tracks.
Not far from the private room’s entrance, two upright figures were standing. One was Calvin, and the other was Mason.
Mason wore a pair of gold–rimmed glasses, his figure tall and lean. Although he couldn’t quite compete with the handsome allure of Calvin, he was still a good–looking man.
Charlotte was stunned. “Boss, why are there so many handsome men around you?”
What a lovestruck fool! Cecilia was quite exasperated. “That’s enough. Be good. Go back and rest first.”
“Oh.”
Charlotte left the restaurant reluctantly.

At that moment, at the entrance of the private room, Mason and Calvin appeared polite and gentlemanly on the surface. However, their icy aura was so intense that it made everyone around them keep their distance.
Cecilia walked over and said, “Mr. Sanders.”
Upon hearing this, Mason turned to look at her. “Mrs. Rainsworth, I’ve come to ask you to return home.”
“Sorry, but I’ve already spoken to Nathaniel. I’ll be returning the day after tomorrow. You guys should head back first,” Cecilia said.
She had already given her word to Calvin. It wouldn’t be right to go back on it.
Mason saw the determination in her eyes and didn’t persist too much. However, as he was about to leave, he lowered his voice and said to Cecilia, “Mrs. Rainsworth, please don’t take offense at my words. While you have the right to choose your friends, you should also be mindful of your own status. Mr. Rainsworth’s situation isn’t looking too good right now.”
After Mason finished speaking, he quickly walked away.
Is Nathaniel’s situation not good? A pang of anxiety gripped Cecilia’s heart. She was just about to chase after Mason to get some answers when Calvin stopped her.
“Let’s go. We should head back and rest. I’m a bit tired too,” Calvin said.
Cecilia could only momentarily set aside the doubts in her heart. She semi–supported him as they left the restaurant and got into the car to return to the manor.
On the way back, Cecilia seemed somewhat absent–minded. While Calvin was taking a moment to rest with his eyes closed, she seized the opportunity to send a message to Nathaniel that read: What’s wrong with you?
There was no response from the other side for quite a while.
She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her phone, contemplating making a call. The man beside her, Calvin, opened his eyes again. “If you’re worried, go and see him. I’m fine. Remember to visit me again next time.”
Upon hearing Calvin’s words, Cecilia felt an increasing sense of guilt and put down her phone.
“I’m not worried about him.”
Cecilia reassured herself deep down that she was merely trying to prevent her two children from losing their father prematurely.
In the manor, the night had fallen, and over two hours had passed, yet there was still no response from Nathaniel.
Cecilia, lying in bed, couldn’t resist anymore and gave him a call.

voice. “Who is it?”
Cecilia felt perplexed. I know he’s upset, but does he really not even know who I am anymore?
She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay? I heard you weren’t doing so well.”
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, something happened that left Cecilia in disbelief. Shockingly, Nathaniel had hung up the call.
Chapter 722 Grovel For Forgiveness
Cecilia stared at the disconnected call, somewhat dazed.
She thought that Nathaniel was angry, so she called him again.
However, all she heard was an automated female voice saying, “Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please dial again later.”
Since she couldn’t even get through to him, she knew she had been blocked.
When Cecilia regained her senses, she felt utterly bewildered.
Seeing how things were, Cecilia no longer harbored any worries. She laid down at ease and rested.
Meanwhile, inside Stelason Hotel, Nathaniel tossed his phone aside, massaging his throbbing forehead. He narrowed his eyes toward Mason and asked, “Who did I come here for?”
Mason stood there, straight and solemn, looking into Nathaniel’s eyes filled with concern.
“You’re here for Mrs. Rainsworth, Mr. Rainsworth. Don’t you remember?”
A touch of mockery flickered in Nathaniel’s eyes. “Mrs. Rainsworth? Who?”
“It’s Cecilia.”
A look of surprise filled Nathaniel’s eyes when he heard that he had journeyed to such a remote place for Cecilia. Is he joking? Just how free am I to come here for that woman?
“Where is she, then?”
Nathaniel was aware that something was amiss with his current situation. Mason had informed him that it was then 2023, yet his memories were frozen in time, stuck six or seven years in the past.
Mason’s gaze landed on Nathaniel’s phone. “It seems like the call earlier was from Mrs. Rainsworth, Cecilia.”
At that moment, Mason was also quite bewildered.
During the day, when he went to find Cecilia, Nathaniel suddenly suffered from a splitting headache, even questioning his identity.
After he had returned, it seemed as if Nathaniel recognized him again, as though his normal memory had been restored.
At that moment, however, Nathaniel couldn’t even remember what happened in recent years.
That was when Mason figured Nathaniel’s chronic condition had flared up again. In other words, it hadn’t fully healed.

Nathaniel was about to reach for his phone again, but there was nothing but darkness before his eyes. He stretched out his hand, fumbling around for what felt like an eternity, but couldn’t locat his phone. In frustration, he knocked over the table in front of him.
Bang!
A cold glint resided in Nathaniel’s eyes as he questioned, “What exactly happened to my eyes? Who is responsible for this?”
Mason watched him intently, feeling an unusual sense of urgency. “Mr. Rainsworth, please don’t be upset. Let me explain it to you slowly.”
At that moment, Nathaniel had little patience to listen to Misomis mamount of events.
Mason could only explain as concisely as he could. Essentially after Carillia faked her death and left, Nathaniel slowly realized his feelings for Cecilia. Hence, he pursued her and groveled for forgiveness.
In an unexpected car accident, he had shielded Cecilia, his head being struck and pierced by shards of glass. As a result, he lost his memory and his sight.
He then went to Erihal because he was worried about Cecilia being with Caliin.
After hearing everything, Nathaniel simply couldn’t believe it..
“Call Cecilia.” Nathaniel ordered.
Immedinely. Mason called Cecilia.
Just as Cerilin was drifting off to sleep, she was startled awake by a noise. Picking up her phone. she saw than in was a call from Mason. She answered the call and asked, “Mr. Sanders, what’s the

Mason didn’t respond. Instead, he handed his phone to Nathaniel.

Taken aback, Cecilia soola omnem before responding with a question of her own.
“It’s a thirty minute drive. How supposed to get there in ten minutes? Do you want me to fly there?”
Nathaniel was taken aback, chethy most exparting the usually compliant Cecilia to speak to him in such a tone.

The call was ended, and Nathaniel tightly gripped his phone, a chill evident in his eyes.
Mason came over considerately to explain, “Mr. Rainsworth, Cecilia is pregnant now. She really needs to rest more.”
“Pregnant?” Nathaniel asked, puzzled.
Fearing that Nathaniel might misunderstand, Mason added, “Yes. She’s pregnant with your child.”
Nathaniel never imagined that he and Cecilia would actually have a child together.
Of course, he wouldn’t wait for Cecilia to go to him the next day. Despite the pain coursing through his body, he rose and said, “Let’s go back to Tudela.”
He had no idea that an even greater surprise awaited upon his return to Tudela.
Mason also felt that Nathaniel’s health condition was fluctuating, and it was crucial to return as soon as possible. If their adversaries discovered this and targeted them, they would be in serious trouble.
Therefore, they took a private jet back to Tudela overnight.
Mason’s concerns were not without reason.
Before Nathaniel left, Ethan, the eldest son of the Murdock family who had once begged him for mercy, had already received the news.
He was just about to discreetly send someone overseas to deal with Nathaniel, but to his surprise, Nathaniel had already left.
Ethan’s eyes darkened when he heard the news. “He’s just lucky.”
Seated on the couch, Francis, the younger brother, was exchanging messages with his fiancée, Yvette, who also happened to be Stella’s best friend.
Yvette did not know that Francis was holding Stella in his arms.
“Ethan, there’s no reason to be cautious around Nathaniel anymore. He’s blind now. We can still seize the opportunity when he returns,” Francis said.
The thing Ethan disliked the most was Francis‘ frivolous attitude.
A few days prior, Francis saw Stella at the nightclub, and he simply had to bring her back with
him.
It was important to note that Stella was no angel. Back then, she single–handedly had Nathaniel and Zachary going in circles.
“You’re about to get married. Take it easy.”

Ethan merely left a simple reminder.
Francis dismissed it nonchalantly, saying, “I know.”
He didn’t find much appeal in Yvette, who lacked a sense of romance.
Stella leaned against Francis, her heart filled with resentment.

Had it not been for Cecilia, she wouldn’t have found herself committed to someone from the Murdock family.
Everyone knew about the two brothers, Ethan and Francis. Ethan was ruthless but only of average ability. On the other hand, Francis was constantly infatuated with the pleasures of life. They were simply no match for Nathaniel and Nicholas.
When Nathaniel returned to Tudela on his private plane, it was pouring rain.
Mason held up the umbrella for him, carefully guiding the way, fearful that he might fall.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance of Daltonia Villa.
That day was a weekend, so Elliot didn’t have to attend classes. Upon hearing from the housekeeper that Nathaniel had returned, he scurried out to check.
In the pouring rain, Nathaniel was dressed in a sharply tailored suit, an aura of icy aloofness surrounding him, deterring anyone from approaching.
Immediately, Elliot sensed that something was off with Nathaniel.
At first, Elliot thought his intuition had misled him. He walked over and asked, “Sc*mbag daddy, where’s Mommy? Didn’t she come back with you?”
Mason hadn’t had the chance to tell Nathaniel that he had two sons.
Out of the blue, Nathaniel heard a tender voice by his leg, causing his sharp eyebrows to furrow deeply.
Before he could speak, Elliot was certain that he was in a bad mood. Slyly, he wrapped his arms around Nathaniel’s thigh.
“Hehe! Did Mommy and Mr. Reese upset you? If you beg me, maybe I can put in a good word for you with Mommy. How does that sound?” Elliot asked.
Beg? Nathaniel was utterly baffled by Elliot’s words.
He bent down and managed to grab hold of Elliot’s overalls. “Where did this kid come from?”
After speaking, he was about to toss the child outside.
In a rush, Mason quickly stepped in to stop Nathaniel. “Mr. Rainsworth, t–this is your child, Mr.
Elliot.”

At the same time, Elliot was thoroughly frightened. Surely, parents shouldn’t take out their anger on their child during a quarrel, right? Has sc*mbag daddy turned into a sc*mbag so quickly?
Nathaniel, carrying Elliot, asked, “My child?”
He then felt completely bewildered, as if everything had changed after a single sleep.
“Yes. Please be gentle when you put Mr. Elliot down. He’s not in good health, so we can’t afford to roughhouse him.” Mason knew that Nathaniel’s current amnesia was only temporary. Once Nathaniel regained his memory and learned something bad had happened to Elliot, he would undoubtedly be filled with regret.
Upon hearing the words, Nathaniel deeply pondered and set Elliot down. “Who did I have this child with?”
Mason was taken aback once again.
Right then, Elliot understood that Nathaniel had inexplicably lost his memory again. All he wanted to do was roll his eyes. Before Mason could answer the question, Elliot turned to Nathaniel and said, “Sc*mbag daddy, have you forgotten who I am, your precious child, and with whom I was brought into this world? Do you want to take a guess?”
Elliot was quite curious to see who this vixen was, the one who Nathaniel thought he could have a child with.
Mason was unaware of Elliot’s plans, silently going along with them.
After hearing this, Nathaniel sneered, “It must be that power–hungry woman who doesn’t know her place. Do I even need to guess? Is she dead yet?”
She had the audacity to climb into his bed and even bore him a child. Given his character, he definitely wouldn’t keep such a cunning and insidious woman around.
Elliot found himself speechless. I’m overthinking. Sc*mbag daddy is truly the epitome of an old- fashioned man.
“Sc*mbag daddy, what nonsense are you spouting? You had me with my mommy, Ceci,” Elliot
said.
“Ceci?”
“It’s Cecilia,” Mason said.
Nathaniel fell silent, no longer speaking. He strode toward the house with long, swift steps.
This left Elliot and Mason in confusion.
Elliot chased after him. “Sc*mbag daddy, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? How could you forget about your sweetie?”

Nathaniel paused, his handsome brow slightly furrowed.
“Mason, take this child to his own room. He’s too noisy.”
“Y–Yes…” Mason responded.
“Sc*mbag daddy! Sc*mbag daddy…”
Elliot feigned a couple of loud cries.

Mason initially thought Elliot was genuinely upset, so he softly consoled him, saying, “Mr. Elliot, don’t be sad. Mr. Rainsworth has sustained some injuries, and his memory is a bit disordered at the moment, but he should recover before long.”
He wasn’t sure if Elliot could understand.
Elliot looked at him with his large, bewildered eyes. “Mr. Sanders, are you saying that sc*mbag daddy doesn’t even remember me, Mommy, and Jon anymore?”
“For now, yes, but he will get better soon.”
Mason remembered that before they flew back, there was a time when Nathaniel had recovered.
“I’m going to get a doctor for your daddy now. Can you not disturb him at home?” Mason uttered gently. Mr. Elliot is truly adorable. He’s like a mini version of Mr. Rainsworth. The crucial point is that Mr. Elliot knows how to act endearingly, unlike Mr. Rainsworth, who is always so cold and distant.
“All right. Mr. Sanders. Leave early and return early. Be safe,” Elliot obediently said.
“Okay.”
After soothing the little one, Mason finally left.
After he left, Elliot completely let loose, beginning to call Jonathan.
“Jon, there’s a big problem.”
Jonathan was engrossed in his book, slightly puzzled. “What’s the matter?”
“Sc*mbag daddy has lost his memory. He doesn’t remember that you and I are his sons with Mommy.” Elliot lowered his voice.
Jonathan couldn’t believe it. “Is he pretending?”
“Absolutely not. Have you forgotten how accurate my sixth sense is?” Elliot rarely relied on his intuition, but upon seeing Nathaniel’s condition, he gave it a small test. He was definitely not lying.
Chapter 725 Wet Himself
Jonathan still had a lot of faith in Elliot’s sixth sense.
The two brothers had always harbored a secret, something unknown to Cecilia.
Jonathan was a top–tier hacker, but Elliot was even more extraordinary. His sixth sense was remarkably accurate. For instance, if the two of them were walking on the street and someone suddenly threw something from a building, he would be able to sense it.
The most astonishing part was that his perception included luck.
Jonathan still remembered when he and Elliot were just two or three years old. Cecilia had taken them to a lottery store, and Elliot, holding onto Cecilia’s hand, refused to leave.
Cecilia asked Elliot what he wanted, to which Elliot casually walked into the store and grabbed a few lottery tickets. To their surprise, one of the tickets won them hundreds of thousands.
However, this was a matter of chance, not a guaranteed stroke of good luck.
Besides, if adults were to find out about Elliot’s perceptive abilities, it would be quite risky.
Therefore, Jonathan often advised Elliot to simply be a normal child, urging him not to casually use any sort of sixth sense.
“Is Mommy back?” Jonathan asked.
“Not yet.”
After hearing this, Jonathan fell silent for a while before saying, “Nathaniel is a moody man. If you’re scared, I can ask Old Mr. Sinclair to send a car to take you to Sinclair Manor.”
“Jon, are you kidding me? I’m not scared at all.” Elliot paused. “I just find it fascinating, don’t you?”
“Do you want to join in and have some fun with him?” Mischief was brewing in Elliot’s mind.
Jonathan showed no interest in that. “Silly, I’m currently traveling abroad. How am I supposed to go there?”
Elliot suddenly remembered, inevitably feeling a sense of loss.
“I need to get back to my book. I can’t talk anymore,” Jonathan said, aware that he couldn’t provide any help even if he returned, and hung up the call.
Elliot was somewhat frustrated. “Such a nerd.”
He mumbled to himself, finding it utterly dull to be alone in the room. Taking advantage of Mason’s absence, he sneaked out of the room once again, tiptoeing his way to find Nathaniel.
Due to the time difference, it had already turned dark here.

Within the vast room, only Nathaniel’s study was bathed in a bright light.
Without needing to search, Elliot spotted him, and thus, he quietly made his way over.

Nathaniel sat in his study, his head throbbing with pain once again. Due to the loss of part of his memory, he had forgotten Braille, and an aura of hostility surrounded him.
“Back already?” Nathaniel’s ears were quite sharp. He heard the sound of Elliot’s footsteps and thought it was Mason.
Upon seeing this, Elliot no longer held back. “Sc*mbag daddy, it’s me, your sweetie. How are you feeling now? Is your headache still bothering you? Do you want me to give you a massage?”
The current Nathaniel was indifferent toward this son of his, who had suddenly appeared.
“No need.”
Elliot wasn’t going to give up just like that.
He stepped inside, declaring, “No way. Our teacher always told us to respect and help our parents. Sc*mbag daddy, I’m coming.”
In the next moment, Nathaniel felt his lower leg being tenderly embraced by a small, soft body again.
His entire body stiffened instantly.
He had always disliked children, yet for some reason, at that moment, he didn’t immediately shrug Elliot off.
“Get out! Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Elliot was suddenly yelled at, but far from being scared, he was even more amused. “No, sc*mbag daddy. Don’t be shy. Let your son show you some filial piety.”
As he spoke, he simultaneously climbed onto Nathaniel’s legs.
Nathaniel instantly stood up, his hand once again hoisting Elliot. He had initially intended to throw Elliot out, but Mason’s words suddenly flashed through his mind. The boy is in poor health…
“Wow! It’s so high! I’m scared…”
Elliot had already understood what was going on. Sc*mbag daddy is now the Nathaniel from back then. I must mess with him a little bit. It’s only right.
Therefore, Elliot unzipped his pants, thinking it might help Nathaniel regain his memory.
Tap! Tap!
Nathaniel suddenly detected a strong whiff of urine.

Nathaniel’s face instantly darkened, “Brat, are you tired of living?”
“Daddy, why are you scolding me?”
Immediately, Elliot started to pretend to cry.
Nathaniel listened to his sobs, the pain in his head intensifying. “Someone, come!” he called out.
The housekeeper arrived quite promptly.
“Sir, what’s the matter?”
“Throw this brat out.”
“Huh?”
The housekeeper was taken aback, but fearing what Nathaniel might do to Elliot, she quickly stepped forward to take the child.
Elliot’s eyes were brimming with tears as he asked, “Daddy, what’s wrong? Don’t you want me anymore?”
Nathaniel didn’t respond. Instead, he said to the housekeeper, “Do I need to repeat myself? Throw him out.”
The housekeeper, cradling Elliot in her arms, nodded repeatedly. “All right. We will leave right
away.
She thought to herself that once she stepped outside, she would immediately call Cecilia. It seemed that only Cecilia could deal with Nathaniel.
After the housekeeper had carried Elliot out of the study room, Elliot didn’t cry anymore. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, “Madam, could you take me to change my pants first?” He paused for a moment before explaining further, “Once I’ve changed, you can then throw me out.”
The housekeeper was amused. “Eli, your father is ill now. The words were uttered in a state of distress. He didn’t mean to throw you out. Once your mommy comes back, everything will be fine. You need to stay put in your room this time. No more running around, understand?”
“All right, then.” Elliot helplessly nodded. It’s truly a pity that I can’t tease my amnesiac sc*mbag daddy right now.
In the study, Nathaniel finally found some peace and quiet. Not long after, Mason arrived with a team of doctors to examine him.
That evening, the study was bustling with individuals donned in white coats.
Meanwhile, it was already two in the afternoon in Erihal.

Cecilia accompanied Calvin to the hospital to get his medication changed. After an examination, once they confirmed there were no other issues, she prepared to leave.
Calvin then had her escorted to Stelason Hotel.
What puzzled Cecilia was that upon her arrival at Stelason Hotel, she was informed by the reception desk that Nathaniel and his group had left the night before.
She was taken aback once again.
Cecilia wasn’t sure what tricks Nathaniel was pulling. However, since he had already returned, she decided to buy her own plane ticket and headed to the airport..
As soon as she arrived at the airport, Cecilia received a call from the housekeeper back home.
“Mrs. Rainsworth, when will you be returning?”
“What’s the matter?” Cecilia asked.
“Mr. Rainsworth has returned, and he’s been acting quite strange. Mr. Sanders mentioned he’s sick, but…” The housekeeper hesitated.
Sick? Cecilia looked somewhat surprised. “But what? Speak up. I won’t blame you, nor will I tell Nathaniel.”
Only after receiving assurance, the housekeeper dared to inform Cecilia.
Just now, Eli was in Mr. Rainsworth’s room and somehow managed to anger him. Mr. Rainsworth even asked me to throw Eli out Even if he is sick, his temper shouldn’t be this volatile, should it?” the housekeeper grumbled.
“Has he lost his mind?” Cecilia felt a thunderous crash in her mind. her disbelief deepening even. further. Eli and Jon are his children. He has previously blamed me for leaving with the two kids. Now, he’s resenting them!
-Take good care of Eli for me. I’ve bought the plane ticket, and I’ll probably be back in about ten hours,” Cecilia said.
“All right. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Eli.
After hanging up the phone, Cecilia was still filled with worry. She wished she could return at the fastest speed possible.
She didn’t feel comfortable calling Nathaniel, so she decided to call Mason instead.
Upon seeing the incoming call display, Mason stepped outside before answering the call. “Mrs. Rainsworth.”
“What on earth has happened to Nathaniel?”
“The doctors are still examining Mr. Rainsworth at the moment. From what I understand. Mr.
Chapter 727 It Has Worsened
Memory? Confused? Cecilia was puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”
“When I went to look for you in Erihal yesterday, Mr. Rainsworth had already forgotten who you were. However, after I returned, he remembered you again. Yet, through my interaction with him, I discovered that his memory has shockingly halted at six or seven years ago.” Mason sighed before adding, “It’s still the same now. He doesn’t even remember the two children.”
After hearing that, Cecilia took a moment to contemplate. “I understand. Could you please look after Eli for me? I’m about to board my flight and will be back soon.”
“All right.”
Cecilia felt that, given the circumstances, Nathaniel’s situation this time around could very well be genuine.
After all, he had genuinely experienced amnesia, and they had both agreed to start over. There was no need for him to pretend to have memory confusion again.
After she turned off her phone, she boarded the plane.
Over at Daltonia Villa, after much difficulty, Nathaniel finally changed into a brand new set of clothes, and then the doctors conducted a check–up on him.
Overnight, not a single doctor had a definitive treatment plan for Nathaniel’s memory confusion.
Though contemporary medicine was highly advanced, it still fell short regarding the aspect of neural memory.
Nathaniel was having a severe headache and felt exceptionally exhausted. After sending away all the doctors, he asked Mason to leave as well.
“Mr. Rainsworth, I think I should stay here with you. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Nathaniel wasn’t sure if his own condition would worsen, so he didn’t refuse.
Hence, Mason was settled in the guest room downstairs for rest.
Due to jet lag, Nathaniel’s energy was severely depleted. Not long after he laid down, he fell asleep.
When Cecilia returned, the mansion was unusually quiet.
The housekeeper had been waiting outside for a while. Upon Cecilia’s return, the housekeeper’s eyes lit up with joy. “Mrs. Rainsworth, you’re back. They are all resting. Would you like to take a nap too?”
“Where’s Eli?” asked Cecilia.
“He’s in the room. I’ll never actually throw Eli out. Mr. Rainsworth was merely venting. He didn’t

Cecilia nodded. “Thank you.”

It was just past eight in the morning when Cecilia entered Elliot’s room, only to find him already up and starting to get dressed.
“Mommy.”
When Elliot saw Cecilia pushing the door open, his face was filled with surprise and delight.
“Hey.” Cecilia hugged him. “Have you been cooped up at home these past few days, crying your eyes out?”
“I haven’t. You can ask the housekeepers if you don’t believe me.”
As Elliot spoke, he was also getting dressed. “Mommy, I need to go to preschool now, or else I’ll be late.”
“All right.”
It took Cecilia a while to remember that he had to get to the preschool at nine.
After seeing Elliot off to the car, Cecilia returned to the mansion and saw Mason emerge from the guest room. He was still in his previous attire, his hair a disheveled mess. Without his gold- rimmed glasses, he moved with a sluggishness reminiscent of a sloth.
Mason had always been meticulous, and it was the first time that Cecilia had seen him like that.
“Mr. Sanders.”
Mason glanced toward Cecilia, his nearsightedness making it impossible to distinguish between humans and animals beyond ten meters.
It took him a moment before he recognized her. “Mrs. Rainsworth.”
After that, he quickly added, “I need to go to the restroom.”
Cecilia nodded.
When Mason returned in less than a moment, he was already neatly dressed. The eyes beneath his gold–rimmed glasses were as sharp as ever.
“Mrs. Rainsworth, would you like to review Mr. Rainsworth’s medical reports now?” he asked.
“Okay.”

Based on the diagnosis, some doctors deduced that Nathaniel’s temporary amnesia could potentially worsen. As of then, he had forgotten the events of the recent years, but next time, he might forget events spanning over a decade.
“The injuries Mr. Rainsworth sustained this time are not light, causing a relapse of his old
ailment.”
“Did the doctor suggest any treatment methods?”

Cecilia was about to ask something when suddenly, a loud bang echoed from upstairs.

Mason looked up at the upper floor. “Mr. Rainsworth must be awake now,” he said.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Within the monochrome and chilly room, Nathaniel had collapsed onto the floor.
Upon entering the room, Cecilia immediately rushed to his side, asking, “Are you all right?”
Upon hearing Cecilia’s voice, Nathaniel forcefully pushed her away. “Get out. Have you had enough fun outside?”
Cecilia nearly toppled backward, almost crashing to the ground.
She hadn’t rested well, and her temper was flaring up at this moment.
“Nathaniel, if you’re sick, get treated. What on earth are you doing right now? Don’t forget that I’m pregnant. If anything happens to our child, believe me, I will…
She had never spoken harsh words before, so Cecilia lost her voice before she could finish talking.
Nathaniel fell silent.
Cecilia then cautiously approached him once again, intending to assist him. This time, she wasn’t pushed away.
After being helped onto the bed, Nathaniel suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, “So you’ve grown bold now, daring to yell at me.”
Cecilia was no longer the wife who used to tread lightly around him, afraid of offending him. She couldn’t help but make sarcastic remarks.
“So, is it only okay for you to yell at me, but not for me to yell back at you?” Cecilia retorted.
Nathaniel was taken aback.
Cecilia freed her hand from his tight grip and began to right the chair and items that had been knocked over when he fell earlier.
“Let’s go to the hospital later to get you checked.”
Nathaniel wore a stern expression, his dark eyes tightly shut. “I’m not going.”
“How can we know what’s really going on with you if you don’t go to the hospital?” she questioned.
Daltonia Villa wasn’t equipped with comprehensive medical facilities like the Rainsworth residence, leaving many aspects unchecked.
Nathaniel opened his eyes, the depths of which were as dark as an ancient well. “It’s not your

He then immediately added, “Do you think behaving like this now will atone for your sins? I’ve said it before. A liar like you is only destined to remain single forever.”
Cecilia had already forgotten the past, how Nathaniel used to speak to her with cold indifference. Yet, unexpectedly, she found herself experiencing it all over again.
She was no longer the pushover that Nathaniel could manipulate at will. Picking up a pen beside her, she threw it at Nathaniel.
It suddenly struck hard on Nathaniel’s forehead, and he was in disbelief.
“How dare you hit me?”
from
“Yes, I hit you. What are you going to do about it?” Cecilia knew that in the past, Nathaniel would only assert his dominance through words. He would never resort to hitting a woman.
As expected, after a moment of silence, Nathaniel called out, “Mason.”
Mason arrived at the door swiftly. Given that the married couple were both in the room, he chose
not to enter.
“Yes, Mr. Rainsworth?”
“Throw her out,” Nathaniel said nonchalantly.
Mason was at a loss.
Cecilia also looked toward Mason.
Mason was no fool. He knew Nathaniel was temporarily amnesiac, and that was why he was in a bad mood. If he offended Cecilia, Nathaniel would skin him alive once his memory returned.
Bearing his long–standing fear of Nathaniel, he comforted Nathaniel, “Mr. Rainsworth, you’re sick now, you should listen to Mrs. Rainsworth. She won’t harm you!
Nathaniel had stated it. He was the father of the two children. There was no way Cecilia could wish for the children’s father to die.
After finishing his words, Mason left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Nathaniel’s strikingly handsome features seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom, his entire aura turning icy cold.
“Cecilia, well done.”
The one who had always been by Nathaniel’s side, the one he trusted the most, Mason, had shockingly betrayed him.
Cecilia understood why Mason helped her. It was actually out of concern for Nathaniel. He was

Thanks for the compliment.”

Nathaniel’s lips thinned into a tight line, the corners of his mouth pulled taut.
He
longer wanted to argue with Cecilia. Rising from the bed once more, he intended to leave.
Upon seeing the situation, Cecilia also stood up. “Have you made up your mind? Let’s go to the hospital.”
Nathaniel paid her no mind and continued on his way, inevitably bumping into the various furnishings and items within the room.
Just as he was about to hit the wall, Cecilia called out to stop him, “There’s a wall ahead!”
He halted in his tracks and began to fumble for the door’s location.
Cecilia approached, firmly taking hold of his hand.
If it were the old Nathaniel, he would have undoubtedly shrugged her hand off with disdain. However, for reasons unknown, he found himself not repulsed by it at all at that moment. More importantly, her touch seemed to freeze the blood in his veins.
Nathaniel was at a loss as to why this situation had arisen.
Cecilia roughly dragged him along, showing no gentleness as she opened the door, leading him
out.
“Let’s eat first, and once we’re done, we’ll head to the hospital,” she said.
Given Zachary’s connection, Nathaniel was able to secretly visit the hospital for a check–up.
Nathaniel didn’t refuse, but he didn’t agree, either. He was led downstairs by Cecilia.
Seeing this scene from downstairs, Mason thought Nathaniel had recovered again.
“Mr. Rainsworth?”
“Get lost.”
Mason was startled. All right, it seems he hasn’t recovered yet.
Cecilia asked Mason, “Is breakfast ready yet?”
“Yes. In the dining room,” Mason replied.
“Do you want to join us for a bite?” Cecilia asked again.
Mason shook his head. “No need. I can get something to eat outside. If anything comes up, just give me a call, Mrs. Rainsworth.”
Cecilia nodded, watching him as he left.

After he left, Cecilia dragged Nathaniel to have breakfast.
She hurried back home, not having had the chance to eat.
Of course, Nathaniel hadn’t eaten anything either.

In the dining room, a delicate breakfast had already been set up. After guiding Nathaniel to sit down, Cecilia said, “The bowl is right in front of you. If it’s inconvenient for you, shall I have someone feed you?”
Feed me? Nathaniel had grown accustomed to eating on his own when he was just a year old.
Nathaniel’s expression worsened. “No need.”
He fumbled before picking up the fork
Seeing his stubbornness, Cecilia personally sliced some foie gras for him, along with some other dishes that were difficult to manage, and then placed them in his bowl.
Nathaniel quietly ate, not uttering a word.
Even when blinded, unable to see, his demeanor remained dignified.
After finishing breakfast, he put down his utensils, his thin lips parting slightly. “Mason told me I lost my sight because I was trying to save you.”
Cecilia’s hand, clutching the fork, stiffened and hung suspended in mid–air.
“I suppose so.”
“What do you mean by that?” he asked.
Nathaniel attempted to reach out and grab her, but Cecilia skillfully evaded his grasp.
Η
‘Speak up if you have something to say. Don’t get physical,” she said.
Nathaniel withdrew his hand in resignation. “Why did I save you? What could have been my reason?”
He had always believed that he held no feelings for Cecilia, and if there were any, it was nothing
but resentment.
It was because of Cecilia that he was humiliated and made a fool of, becoming the laughingstock of high society.
Cecilia didn’t want to answer that question, so she said, “I don’t know.”
Upon hearing that, Nathaniel felt a deep urge to understand his current feelings for Cecilia. Could it be true, as Mason has suggested, that over the course of six or seven years, I’ve fallen in love with Cecilia?
“Come over here,” he said.

Unsure of his reasons, Cecilia found herself leaning in closer.

Nathaniel was subtly enveloped by her gentle, milky scent, which was utterly heartwarming. He raised his slender hand and grasped Cecilia’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace in one swift
movement
Cecilia was taken aback.
Nathaniel’s body stiffened even more. His memories were still stuck in a time when he had no relationship with Cecilia.
Chapter 730 Drugged Me
Nathaniel was somewhat of a clean freak. It didn’t matter if it was Cecilia or even Stella. Nobody was allowed to touch him.
Yet, at that moment, as Cecilia leaned into his embrace, he found himself not resisting at all.
“Things have really changed.”
Cecilia felt inexplicably puzzled. “What has changed?”
Nathaniel didn’t respond, quickly letting go of her.
He still couldn’t believe that years later, he had actually fallen in love with Cecilia, and they even had a child together.
“How old is that child now?” he suddenly asked again.
“He’s just over four years old,” Cecilia responded, even though she found his demeanor at that moment quite odd.
The child being just over four meant that she was conceived around the time they were going through their divorce.
“Did you drug me?” Nathaniel could only surmise this as the reason.
“Do you remember now?”
Cecilia initially thought he was referring to the time she had drugged him in order to conceive their current child.
Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold intensity radiating from them. “Just as I thought.”
He was left puzzled as to why, in his memory, he was certain he wanted to divorce Cecilia, but in the end, it never happened.
Right then, he thought it was because she resorted to such underhanded tactics.
“You’ve truly surprised me with your candid response to such a matter,” Nathaniel sarcastically remarked.
Cecilia had no idea he had misunderstood, so she explained, “I told you before that I had no other choice. Eli has leukemia and needs cord blood from a sibling.”
Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel at first did not understand. Gradually, he discerned the crux of the matter from her words.
He asked again, “What’s the story with your first pregnancy?”
A frown creased Cecilia’s brow. Clearly, she hadn’t expected that Nathaniel would forget that
matter, too.

Years had passed, yet the thought of the past still made her clench her fists. She pressed into her palm and said, “What’s the point of asking all these questions now? You’d be better off going to the hospital for a check–up. Once you’re treated, you’ll naturally remember everything.”
Cecilia lost her appetite and could no longer eat. She then took his hand and said, “Let’s go. 1

Nathaniel rose to his feet, his towering figure completely overshadowing Cecilia.

She was leaving, the deep voice of Nathaniel resonated from behind, clearly reaching the ears
of Cecilia.
“Regardless of whether your words are true or false, for the sake of our children, just tell me directly what you want in the future.”
Cecilia paused, turning back to look at him.
She had always thought that Nathaniel would never want to have happened, she was certain he would insist on her getting rid of it.

At that moment, however, Nathaniel’s memories had returned to the past, yet he spoke in such a
manner.
“Why aren’t we leaving?” Nathaniel’s voice turned icy as if he wasn’t accustomed to the words he had just spoken.
“Oh… There’s a chair ahead. Let me move it before we proceed.”
Casually shifting her chair, Cecilia masked her peculiar inner emotions, then left with Nathaniel
in tow.
Mason had already had his breakfast and was waiting in the car. “I’ve already reached out to Mr. Sinclair. Everything has been arranged on his end.”
One had to concede Mason’s work competency. Even before Cecilia could mention it, he had already taken it into consideration.
“All right. Thank you.
The moment he got into the car, Mason couldn’t quite believe it. Nathaniel, who had lost several years‘ worth of memories, was still taking orders from Cecilia.
This could very well prove one thing. Nathaniel didn’t just fall for Cecilia in recent years.
After all, when it came to being stubborn, Nathaniel was truly unmatched.
Over at Tudela Hospital, Zachary was waiting outside the designated entrance from early on.
He didn’t yet know the specifics of what had happened, only that Nathaniel had been injured and needed to be hospitalized for examination.
