When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1128 A Tricky SituationAll text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Cecília wasn’t expecting anything in return. If she wanted something in return, she wouldn’t have helped Madeline.

“All right. Let me help you to the room.”

Cecilia supported Madeline as they ascended the stairs and later had someone bring her chicken broth.

The woman had just given birth, and her body was weakened. It was crucial for her to take good care of herself and replenish her strength for a faster recovery.

Once she had settled Madeline in the room, Cecilia returned downstairs. Seeing the child asleep, Lucille and Elliot were reluctant to put the child to bed. They kept gazing at the little one.

“Aren’t you two tired?”

Elliot looked at Cecilia and asked, “Mommy, were Jon and I this adorable when we were little?”

Cecilia chuckled. “Of course, everyone was adorable when they were little.”

“I really wish you would give birth to two younger sisters for me, Mommy,” Elliot said sincerely.

Cecilia also wanted daughters. After all, she already had two sons. If she were to have two daughters, her family would be complete.

However, she wouldn’t mind giving birth to either gender. She would love them both equally and treat them the same.

Lucille was also looking at Cecilia’s belly. “When do you think the babies will arrive? I’m so excited.”

“The due date is on the twelfth day of September,” replied Cecilia.

“That’s only a few months away. I’m so excited. It’s going to be lively around here,” Lucille said, her face full of anticipation.

Seeing her so thrilled, Cecilia couldn’t bear to shatter her bliss.

Looking after so many kids would be quite the experience. It would be a constant cycle of one crying and the other shouting. Cecilia figured it could get tricky.

Back in the day, Elliot and Jonathan were particularly troublesome as children, leaving Cecilia and Martha without a single chance to rest their eyes daily.

When one child fell asleep, another one would wake up.

No way. This time around, I need to get Nathaniel to take care of the kids. Cecilia was reminiscing about how she had single–handedly raised both Elliot and Jonathan. As the father of these children, Nathaniel had to look after the kids in the future.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel suddenly sneezed.

Darren had been gone the whole night, leaving one to wonder if he had managed to find Madeline.

“How is it that after all these years, Darren and his wife are still considering divorce, even threatening to leave each other?” Zachary remembered that Darren and Madeline had gotten married even before Nathaniel

“The seven–year itch has passed.” Zachary felt helpless. Out of the three of them, he was then the only one who was unmarried and without children.

Nathaniel leaned back in his chair. “If Darren had been a bit softer in the past, we might not be in this mess now.”

“The matters of the Foster family didn’t have much to do with Darren. It was Madeline who refused to believe in Darren.”

While the two were engaged in conversation, Darren hurriedly returned. It had been raining outside, and his clothes were thoroughly drenched.

“How’s it going? Have you found her?” Zachary asked.

Darren looked rather resentful. “Not yet. I have no idea how she managed to avoid all the security cameras.

He searched everywhere along the way and even pulled up the video footage. However, all it showed was Madeline with the child.

After all, she had escaped countless times before. Perhaps her experiences had taught her well, for the last place she disappeared from was conveniently out of the surveillance cameras‘ reach.

Darren had already sent people to inquire along the way, but there was still no news.

“Madeline has really outdone herself this time. We’ve searched all night and found nothing. Was she prepared all along? How else could she have escaped with the child?” said Zachary.

Darren’s expression darkened even more. “She better hope I don’t find her!”

In truth, Darren was deeply worried. After all, Madeline left home with a child not even a month old. What if they encounter danger? What are they going to do?
