Inside the room, Adrian had already taken off his clothes and was about to approach Cecilia when Miranda suddenly burst in.

"Hubby!"

"What now?" Adrian was annoyed and frustrated at being interrupted.

"Nathaniel is back and heading this way. Put your clothes on, quick!" Miranda said urgently.

Adrian's irritation vanished. He hastily pulled up his pants and started dressing.

"What do we do? What do we do? If Nathaniel finds out about me and Cecilia, he'll kill me!"

"This isn't the time to panic. Just get dressed and hide. Leave this to me," Miranda instructed firmly.

While buttoning up his shirt, Adrian replied, "You better find a way to clear my name. I didn't even get to d anything!"

"I got it," Miranda said impatiently, her disdain evident as she glanced at him.

After shoving Adrian out, Miranda turned her attention to Cecilia.

"Ceci." She gently tapped her shoulder.

Cecilia's consciousness was hazy, and she didn't respond.

Miranda felt a twinge of worry, hoping Nathaniel wouldn't arrive too quickly.

She covered Cecilia with a blanket and sat nervously on the sofa to wait for the latter to regain

consciousness.

Gradually, the drug's effects started to wear off. Cecilia groggily opened her eyes, feeling her head spin.

At that moment, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

Nathaniel strode in with purpose, heading straight for the bedroom.

Miranda hastily stood up. "Nathaniel, what are you doing here? I was just about to call you."

She stood firmly in front of him.

Nathaniel's face was like ice. "Where's Cecilia?"

"Ceci probably can't handle alcohol. She's resting right now. I was planning to take her back to your place, but I couldn't manage it on my own," Miranda explained.

Cecilia had indeed had a cocktail earlier, but it was no stronger than a soft drink,

Still unconvinced, Nathaniel brushed past Miranda and approached the bed.

He saw Cecilia lying on the bed in one piece, occasionally furrowing her brows in discomfort.noveldrama

The tension in Nathaniel's chest finally cased. "Ceci," he called softly.

Regaining consciousness, Cecilia forced her eyes open weakly.

"Yes," she murmured weakly.

Nathaniel bent down and scooped her up in his arms. On his way out, he shot a warning glance at Mirand "Cecilia better be fine. If anything happens to her, I won't let you off the hook."

Miranda's face turned pale, though she forced a brittle smile.

"Nathaniel, don't accuse me unfairly. I brought her here to rest out of kindness. This is the closest place to the party," she said defensively.

Nathaniel ignored her and left with Cecilia in his arms.

By the time they returned home, it was already dark.

The two little ones were already home. Gazing at Cecilia in concern, they asked, "How's Mommy?"

Still dazed, Cecilia tugged weakly at Nathaniel's shirt. "It's hot. Lower the temperature a bit." Nathaniel glanced at the two children.

Jonathan immediately went to lower the temperature.

Elliot looked puzzled. "It's so cold already. Why is Mommy feeling hot? Could she have a fever?"

Nathaniel touched Cecilia's forehead and found her temperature normal.

However, Cecilia couldn't bear the heat anymore and started taking off her coat.

Noticing something was wrong, Nathaniel turned to the children.

"Stay here. I'm taking Ceci to the hospital," he said firmly.

But the children protested in unison, "We're coming too!" 6.7K
