When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1993

“Do you still keep in touch with him now?” Magnus asked.

Denise shook her head. “We haven't been in touch for a long time. I heard he's already married and has a child.”

She appeared to be quite nonchalant.

Magnus, however, perceived a sense of loss deep within her eyes, which inexplicably stirred discomfort within him.

“So, he knew about your family situation and that was why he agreed to break up with you?” Magnus probed.

Magnus kept questioning her, which made her somewhat unhappy. “What's the matter with you today? Are you investigating my past?”

“I was just asking.”

Quickly, Magnus lowered his head, sipping the oatmeal from his bowl.

Even though it was sweet, for some reason, it tasted somewhat bitter to him.

“What's there to question?” Denise articulated each word meticulously. “Isn't this just how the adult world works? We're not living in a TV drama. Everyone's just trying their best to survive, not wanting to be a burden to anyone else.”

Magnus kept his head down, not daring to meet Denise's gaze again. “If it were me, I wouldn't have done it.”

“Maybe it's because you had such a good life before,” Denise speculated, now certain that Magnus must have been the son of a wealthy family in the past.

After all, that guy named Sven from that day was clearly no ordinary person.

Sven had also advised her to give Magnus a bit of a hard time.

Denise felt that a wealthy person wouldn't go out of their way to make life difficult for a poor person without reason.

“My life is pretty rough right now, but I wouldn't have it any other way. If I were with you, we'd bear the burden together,” Magnus stated, each word spoken with absolute certainty.

After hearing that, Denise couldn't help but chuckle.

“Forget it.”

She had long since passed the age of daydreaming.

However, she suddenly halted her actions, gazing blankly at Magnus. “Magnus, why are you suddenly saying all this? Could it be that you've fallen for me?”

Fallen for her...

Once Magnus had had his fill of food and drink, she helped him tidy up his belongings. Then, she brought him a few clean clothes.

“Take a shower later and change into this. You reek of alcohol,” she suggested.

“Thank you,” Magnus said, his face etched with unhappiness as he expressed his gratitude.

Observing that his condition had significantly improved, Denise prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?” Magnus asked, as if he was checking on her.

“I'm going to work my part-time job.”

Working during the day hardly brought in any money, so Denise didn't want to waste her time.

“No, I don't want to rely on others.”

Once Denise finished speaking, she disregarded Magnus' objections and left the ward.
