When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1828

Chapter 1828 The Surgery
Upon hearing that, Vivian grasped Cecilia's hand. “Aren't you scheduled for surgery today? I'm here to accompany you and also to visit Mdm. Queenie.”

Cecilia nodded. “I don't think my mom has woken up yet.”

“No worries, we'll wait outside. After all, I don't have anything else to do.” After Vivian became pregnant, Zachary delegated her work responsibilities to others.

She was essentially an idler with nothing to do at the moment.

Sitting next to Cecilia, Vivian glanced around. “By the way, where's Nathaniel?”

“He dropped off Eli this morning and will be here soon,” Cecilia said.

At that time, Sven was also quite occupied, so Nathaniel took it upon himself to drop off Elliot. Only then did she feel at ease.

“Oh, okay then.” Vivian held onto Cecilia's hand, offering her a comforting reassurance.

Cecilia listened quietly, nodding, seemingly not too upset.

Vivian, however, understood the pain Cecilia was harboring inside her heart.

“It's all right, Ceci.” She embraced her.

Zachary stood to the side, unsure how to comfort Cecilia, and it didn't feel right for him to interrupt either.

“Mhm,” responded Cecilia, hugging Vivian back. Her mood was heavy, yet she said nothing.

After exchanging a few more words with Vivian, they went to see Queenie.

Queenie's spirits were high. Upon seeing Vivian, she didn't appear at all like someone gravely ill. She even smiled and invited her to sit down.

“Mdm. Queenie, I came to see you. I also bought some fruits on the way here.” Vivian didn't let her emotions show too much for fear it might affect Queenie.

“Thanks, Vivian.”

They waited outside the operating room, each filled with worry. However, their predominant feeling was one of anticipation for a miracle to happen, hoping that Cecilia's hearing impairment could be cured.

As the surgery progressed, Queenie's eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Nathaniel. “Nathaniel.”

“Mom, what's wrong?” Nathaniel asked seriously.

Queenie had so much she wanted to say to Nathaniel, but with Cecilia always around, it was difficult to find the right moment. “Could you accompany me outside for a bit? There's something I'd like to discuss with you.”

“All right.” Nathaniel pushed the wheelchair forward, taking Queenie out first. He told Vivian and Yuliana to call him if anything came up.

The weather outside had been pleasantly warm lately. The sunlight splashed across her face, leaving Queenie somewhat dazed.

“Nathaniel, if I die, can you promise me to take good care of Ceci?” asked Queenie.

The seriousness in Nathaniel's eyes was undeniable as he firmly stated, “I definitely will.”
