Chapter 413 She Owes You Nothing

“Silly girl, no doctor is that miraculous,” Martha said with a gentle smile, knowing full well that Cecilia was only

joking. She patted Cecilia’s hand softly, adding, “I don’t want to live too long. As people age, they can become

burdensome. I've lived a full life up until now.”

Cecilia's eyes filled with unshed tears, but she forced herself to hold them back, refusing to let them fall. “Don’t

say that,” Cecilia replied, her voice firm. “You still have to watch Jon and Eli grow up, see them get married, and

beca great-grandmother.”

Martha, moved by Cecilia’s words, allowed herself a brief moment of hope. She certainly wanted to live long

enough to see all of those things, but deep down, she knew her body wouldn't hold up much longer.

She had lived for a long tand had the blessing of a child who was like a daughter to her. In many ways, she

was content. Yet, the thought of leaving Cecilia alone weighed heavily on her heart.

A few days earlier, Martha had begun to suspect that Nathaniel had regained sof his memories. She also

realized that he was not financially destitute and, more importantly, she noticed his genuine desire to stay by

Cecilia's side.

Though she spent most of her tconfined to her room, she was aware that the foreign specialists had been

brought in thanks to Nathaniel’s assistance. She had noticed other subtle changes in him as well, and it was

becoming clear that Nathaniel had truly transformed.

“All right, I'll live well and wait to see them get married,” Martha finally agreed, her voice filled with a mix of

determination and resignation.

“Good,” Cecilia nodded, feeling a little more reassured. “I'll have the specialist cover the day after tomorrow

to take a look at you.”

“All right.”

After making sure Martha was comfortably asleep, Cecilia let out a sigh of relief. She left the room quietly, her

heart still heavy, and went outside to seek the counsel of the specialist.

As soon as she left, there was a knock on Martha's door. Martha opened her eyes slowly and called out, “Come

in.”

Nathaniel walked in, his expression somber and serious. “Thank you,” he said, his voice carrying an unusual

sincerity.

It was rare for him to genuinely thank anyone.

Martha, however, didn’t return his gratitude with a warm smile. “Don’t thankjust yet. I'm not doing this for

you.”

She could tell that Cecilia still had feelings for Nathaniel, and she had noticed that Nathaniel had indeed

changed. That was why she had decided to intervene.

“I understand,” Nathaniel assured her, nodding slightly. “I promise I will treat her well.”

Martha looked at him carefully, her eyes full of uncertainty. She wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not. “If |

were alive, I'd keep a close eye on you. But if | were to pass away, | could only hope that you'd live with a clear

conscience; knowing that Ceci owes you nothing.”

Nathaniel knew that words alone wouldn't prove his sincerity. He had long decided to show his intentions toward

Cecilia through his actions. However, he also knew that to truly protect Cecilia. and ensure her happiness, he

would need to eliminate sof the obstacles that stood in his way.

The following morning, Cecilia set out with Nathaniel to shop for gifts. Now that Jonathan was staying with Vivian,

she no longer had to worry about bringing food for him.

Though she couldn't help but wonder whether Vivian's decision to bring Jonathan along had upset Roland.

“What kind of gift should we get for an occasion like this?” Cecilia asked as they walked.

In the past, Nathaniel never had to worry about selecting gifts himself. Mason or his secretary. always took care

of the arrangements. “Hold on a moment, letcheck,” Nathaniel said, stepping aside before dialing Mason's

number.

Cecilia, standing a short distance away, overheard him asking Mason for advice on what kind of gift to buy. She

couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Even though Nathaniel had lost his. memory and was no longer the

powerful Mr. Rainsworth, he still carried himself with the confidence of a leader.

Mason promptly sent over a list of recommended gifts, all of which were carefully selected and only needed to be

purchased according to the list.

“If I had known we’d be buying so much, | would have asked Sven to calong and help carry everything.”

Cecilia remarked, glancing at the long list.

The mention of Sven made Nathaniel feel a pang of jealousy. Without thinking, he immediately said, “I'll take

care of it.”

Cecilia was somewhat taken aback by his response.

Nathaniel carrying things?

In the past, his hands had been considered extraordinarily precious. He rarely even carried his own phone, let

alone gifts.

“If you're willing to do it, that's fine with me,” Cecilia said.

She began to study the list of gifts, considering Mason's suggestions. As the sister-in-law, it was her duty not

only to present a gift to Nicholas but also to his bride-to-be. The items they were selecting were worth well over

a million, and they would be delivered directly to their home.

As they entered the store to make the purchase, Nathaniel drew quite a bit of attention from those around them.
