When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 988 Lovestruck Fool

Nathaniel’s proud expression made Mason feel that his boss was a lovestruck fool.

After work that evening, Nathaniel couldn’t wait to see Cecilia, but as he stepped outside, he accidentally bumped into a chair.

Mason quickly pulled the chair aside.

“I’m sorry. A guest must have just sat here and I forgot to put it back.”

Nathaniel wasn’t angry. He just recalled Zachary’s words.

He needed to have the surgery soon. If he delayed, the glass shards in his brain would be harder to remove, and even if they were taken out later, restoring his vision would be very difficult.

Just thinking about never being able to see again made him feel low.

“It’s fine, let’s go.”

“Okay.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

At Orion Corporation, Cecilia was waiting outside.

When she saw Nathaniel’s car, she walked over and got in.

“I’m here! What do you want to eat today?” she asked cheerfully.

Nathaniel could only hear her happy voice but couldn’t see her face.

“Anything is fine. Recommend a place.”

Cecilia didn’t notice the change in his mood and began searching for good restaurants nearby.

A private restaurant quickly caught her eye. “How about this Clusian cuisine restaurant?”

“Sure.”

The preparation of Clusian cuisine was intricate, and the flavor was exceptional.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Cecilia grabbed Nathaniel’s hand. “Be careful of the steps.”

Nathaniel felt a deep frustration within himself.

If he could see, he should be the one reminding her to be careful and protecting her by standing in front of her.

Getting to the restaurant was somewhat challenging.

After they had ordered their meal, Nathaniel asked a question before they food arrived.

“I want to ask you something.”

Cecilia took a sip of water. “What is it?”

“If one day I become a fool, would you still be with me?” Nathaniel didn’t want to remain blind forever.

A fool?

Cecilia was taken aback by the question. She fell silent, not rushing to answer.

After a long pause, she finally spoke. “To be honest, I don’t know.”

She wasn’t that noble.

After being hurt in love once, it was even harder for her to fully open her heart to Nathaniel again.

Taking a deep breath, Cecilia added, “If you became a fool and we were married, I would do my duty to take care of you.”

Nathaniel knew she had a soft heart, but this time he said, “Let me tell you, if I become a fool, just abandon me. I don’t like to burden others.”

He meant it.

Cecilia didn’t understand his reasoning and laughed. “Then why did you insist on following me when you had amnesia? And after you regained your memory, you still lied to me.”

She didn’t take Nathaniel’s words seriously and didn’t delve deeper.

Nathaniel could only smile bitterly.

“Yes, I’m too thick–skinned, so if I become a fool, you must be ruthless and just dump me.”

Cecilia didn’t expect someone to be so ridiculous and immediately agreed, “Okay, got it.”

The food arrived at the table.

Cecilia served him some dishes. “Eat well.”

“Mm.” Nathaniel chewed on the fish, but it lost its flavor.

He liked fish, but Cecilia didn’t. She was allergic to seafood.

Ever since she got mad and left, she hadn’t ordered fish or cooked it for him again unless he specifically asked for it.

Today, she had chosen the menu.

“Ceci, sometimes you’re too soft–hearted,” Nathaniel said.

He was truly afraid. What if my surgery failed? What would Cecilia do then?
