Chapter 526 Do You Hate It
Cecilia's body instantly tensed as she tried to push him away, but Nathaniel wouldn't budge. “Very funny.”
Nathaniel didn’t answer. Instead, he pressed his lips against hers.
Cecilia felt like the blood in her body was flowing in reverse, her face growing hot. She opened. her mouth and
bit down on Nathaniel’s lip.
Nathaniel seemed unfazed by the pain, continuing on without pause.
Unable to do anything, Cecilia's eyes reddened with anger. The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.
“Do you hate me?” Nathaniel held her face in his large hand, his fingers gently brushing over her lips.
Cecilia avoided his touch and asked, “What would you do if you saw pictures ofin bed with someone else?”
He'd probably blow up.
As expected, Nathaniel went silent.
While he was quiet, Cecilia bit down on his shoulder again, right where her last bite mark was still visible.

“Why aren’t you answering?” Cecilia asked.
Nathaniel pulled her tighter. “I'll kill him.”
Cecilia stared at him, stunned. “And what would you do to me?”
Nathaniel was taken aback. It took him a long while to regain his composure and reply, “HI lock you up and break
your legs.”
Cecilia thought he was joking and didn’t want to continue the conversation.
“Letget up,” she said, feeling like her waist might snap.
Only then did Nathaniel let her go and seriously ask, “What did Magnus want from you?”
“Nothing much. He just toldthat Paula got bailed out by pretending to be sick,” Cecilia replied curtly.
She thought Paula was lucky to be old. If she were younger, she probably would've faked a pregnancy to get
out..
“These days, it’s not easy to fake a medical report, but exposing it isn’t easy either,” Nathaniel said. slowly. “I'll
have Zachary look into it.”
“No need,” Cecilia immediately refused. “I don’t want to owe him any favors.
“He owes you his life. This is a small matter. Even if | didn’t ask, he should still help.”
“I'll think of another way.”
Cecilia knew that accepting Zachary’s help would mean forgiving him for what he had done to her in the past.
Nathaniel hadn't expected her to be so stubborn. “So, what's your plan?”
“That's a secret for now.”
Having spent many years abroad, Cecilia had built a network of connections.
She remembered that Eric’s father was a well-known neurosurgeon both locally and internationally.
Not too long ago, Charlotte had agreed to write a song for Eric after the new year.
“If there's nothing else, I'm heading out.” Cecilia went to her room to contact Eric.
Alone in the study, Nathaniel grew more curious about how she planned to handle things after hearing her say it
was a secret.

Inside her room, Cecilia dialed the international number, and the call was quickly answered by a deep, magnetic
male voice.
“Ceci, I've been waiting for your call! Are you ready to givemy new song?” Eric was vacationing by the
beach, wearing swim trunks and soaking up the sun. His tanned, muscular body caught the attention of several
women nearby, despite his face being partly obscured by sunglasses.
“I've got the new song ready, but in exchange, you'll have to doa favor this time,” Cecilia said.
It was the first tCecilia had ever asked him for a favor, and Eric immediately sat up, teasing, “You want me
to be the father of Jon and Eli? Sure, no problem!”
“Be serious. | need you to ask your father to conduct a brain tumor diagnosis for me.”
Eric straightened up right away. “Is someone in your family sick?”
“No.”
Cecilia briefly explained Paula’s situation to Eric.
Now understanding the situation, Eric said, “Oh, that’s a small thing. Don’t worry, my dad’s an expert at spotting
fake illnesses. He'll know right away if she’s faking it.”
“Thanks, | really appreciate it.” &
