Chapter 28 Died At A Young Age
“Martha has had it rough. She doesn’t have daughters of her own, and the child she raised with such difficulty is
gone just like that.”
“Isn't it a shame? | still remember Cecilia, such a smart and sensible girl. How could she have passed away so
young?”
“The life of the rich isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The last t| saw Cecilia, she seemed like a different person,
so thin she looked like she could be blown away by the wind.”
“Martha and Cecilia always talked about how wonderful her husband was, but that was just deceiving
themselves. Three years of marriage, and he never once cback with her...”
As Nathaniel listened to this, he felt a lump in his throat.
The entire day passed without Martha or Cecilia returning.
Nathaniel leaned against a wooden chair, dozing off lightly, only to be startled awake after a short while.
He had dreamed of Cecilia's death again.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, it was dark and silent. Cecilia wasn’t there.
In that moment, he truly felt like Cecilia was never coming back.
Late at night, around ten o'clock, Martha’s neighbors were brought into her brick house for “questioning.”
They were surrounded by a crowd of bodyguards that made the small house feel even more cramped.
“Where are they?”
The people there had never seen such a scene before. They stood nervously with their heads lowered, not daring
to look at Nathaniel, who sat at the head of the room with a cold and imposing presence.
“The night before last, | heard Martha crying, so | went to check, and that’s when | found out Cecilia had died.".
“Young people passing away is never a good thing, so they cremated her and buried her that very night.”
Buried that very night...
Nathaniel’s dark eyes flickered.

The others nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Mason then asked them where Calvin was.
The few of them exchanged looks, unsure of Calvin's whereabouts.
They said Calvin was an orphan who was taken away and never returned.

At midnight, the heavy rain continued to pour, with the sky lit up by flashes of lightning and filled with the
rumble of thunder. The rural roads were awash with mud, making them difficult to
traverse.
“Mr. Rainsworth, how about we go to the cemetery tomorrow?”
After days of running around, Mason was beginning to feel exhausted.
Nathaniel glanced at him.
Mason immediately fell silent, carefully holding the umbrella as he followed behind, but couldn’t help wondering
to himself.
It was well-known that Mr. Rainsworth doesn’t like Cecilia, so why is he putting in so much tand effort to find
her now?
Finally, they arrived. Nathaniel immediately spotted the lonely new grave on the hillside.
His throat tightened, and he stopped in his tracks.
After what felt like an eternity, he spoke up. “Dig it up!”
If she was alive, he wanted to see her in person. If she was dead, he wanted to see her body!
He wouldn't believe that Cecilia was dead without seeing her death with his own eyes!
In the pitch-black night, Nathaniel stood with a cold expression, silently watching as the new grave was slowly
dug up.
His heart was in his throat. Finally, a bodyguard stepped forward holding an urn.
“Mr. Rainsworth.”
Nathaniel stood straight, his expression unreadable in the darkness.
“Take it back.”
On the way back, Nathaniel was unusually calm.
He was never one to hide his emotions, but today, no one could tell if he was happy or sad.

For sreason, his throat suddenly felt tight.
No one noticed Nathaniel’s handsface reflected in the car window, his eyes slightly red at the
corners.
In this world, no one was truly indispensable to anyone else.
When Nathaniel brought back Cecilia’s ashes, everyone who knew her believed she was truly
dead.
When they found Calvin, the result was the same.
After a brief moment of sorrow, everyone returned to their normal lives.
However, it was different for Nathaniel. 2
