When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1084 Save Nathaniel

“How’s he doing now?” Mason asked again.

Cecilia didn’t respond, instead, she countered, “I should be the one asking you, Mr. Sanders. You told me not to interfere. After all, I’m already divorced from Nathaniel.”

Mason only said that because Nathaniel had instructed him to. Nathaniel had told Mason that, if he became mentally challenged, he didn’t want to burden Cecilia or cause her worry.

However, recently, Mason became concerned about Nathaniel’s well–being. Upon further investigation, he found that Nathaniel had been confined by Nicholas, his movements heavily restricted, and living in conditions that were far from humane.

Driven by a desire to rescue Nathaniel, Mason realized that the estate’s security system was far too formidable for a straightforward rescue attempt. Recognizing Nicholas‘ special feelings for Cecilia, he decided to approach her for assistance.

“Mrs. Rainsworth, by now you should understand Mr. Rainsworth’s efforts, don’t you? An examination revealed that a shard of glass is pressing against his optic nerve in his head. Once it’s removed, there’s a strong possibility that his eyesight could be restored, and he would no longer experience those episodes of memory loss, which could prevent further dangers.” Mason spoke carefully, emphasizing each word. “The reason he wanted to divorce you in advance was out of fear that his surgery might fail. He confessed to having offended many people throughout his life. The only way he saw to protect you and the child from the Rainsworths, as well as those who oppose him, was for you two to divorce while ensuring the children remained with you. He also entrusted Mr. Sinclair and me with the responsibility of safeguarding you and the kids at all costs.”

Previously, Mason had been solely dedicated to carrying out Nathaniel’s orders. But now, his only concern was Nathaniel’s well–being. After all, Nathaniel was no longer in his right mind and had no idea that Mason revealed all this to Cecilia.

After hearing everything, Cecilia did not say a word.

When Nathaniel suddenly requested a divorce, she found it odd but couldn’t figure out why. Later, after learning that his surgery had failed, the pieces began to fall into place. Mason’s explanation confirmed her suspicions, and with it came a deep pang of sorrow.

“Why did you only tell me all of this now?”

“Mr. Rainsworth left strict instructions–if the surgery failed, I was not to reveal the truth, no matter how much you pressed,” Mason explained. “But seeing him now, it’s unbearable. He may have lost his former brilliance, but he’s still human. He doesn’t deserve to be caged and treated like a prisoner by Nicholas.”

Cecilia, having seen Nathaniel’s deteriorated state firsthand, asked, “So, what’s your plan?”

“I need your help. Find a way to lower Nicholas‘ guard. Once you do, I’ll handle the rest and arrange for Mr. Rainsworth’s escape,” Mason said.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia fell silent for a brief moment.

She then began, “Nicholas told me that it was you and Zachary who caused Nathaniel’s surgery to fail.”

At that moment, Cecilia wasn’t sure whom she could trust. On one side was Nathaniel’s younger brother, Nicholas, on the other his friend and long–time cubarjinate Zachary and Macon

“The surgery indeed had its risks, but Mr. Sinclair would never harm Mr. Rainsworth,” Mason said, surprised that Nicholas tried to sow discord.

Weighing her options, she made a decision. “I’ll find a way to get him out myself,” she said, her tone firm. She thought that instead of relying on either party, it was safer to believe in herself.

Mason was about to say something else, but Cecilia had already hung up the phone.

On the way back, Cecilia closed her eyes, pondering on what to do next.

In the end, she decided to seek help from Elena.

“Mom.”

“What’s the matter, Ceci?”

Elena was exceptionally attentive toward Cecilia since she was pregnant.

“I’m already aware of what happened to Nathaniel. I plan to take care of him during my free time.”
