Chapter 1624 We Have Apprehended Everyone


    As dusk swiftly approached, it was apanied by a gentle drizzle.


    At first, the rain was light, but as time went on, it gradually grew heavier.


    Nathaniel had prepared a quilt, but in the end, he found it more convenient to sleep in a sleeping bag.


    Cecilia hid under the quilt, listening to the rumbling thunder outside, feeling a bit scared.


    However, she dared not show it, especially with Jonathan lying next to her.


    Jonathan knew that Cecilia was terrified of thunder. He reached out and patted Cecilia''s sleeping bag. "Mommy, why don''t you sleep with me?" "Huh? Why?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.


    "How about sleeping with me? I''m a bit scared of thunder," Nathaniel said.


    Jonathan had wanted to say the same thing, but he beat her to it.


    He shot a somewhat infuriated nce at Nathaniel.


    Cecilia was surprised. "You''re afraid of thunder?"


    "Yeah, but just a little." Nathaniel''s deep voice trembled, giving the impression that he wasn''t lying.


    Cecilia was also afraid.


    She was rather naive, believing that everyone had their own weaknesses. Despite Nathaniel''s wealth, power, and abilities, he must have had some hidden ws too. Perhaps being afraid of thunder was one of them.


    "It''s okay. There''s no need to fear the thunder. You''ll be fine once you fall asleep," said Cecilia.


    As she engaged in conversation, she didn''t feel as scared anymore.


    Seeing her like this, Nathaniel realized that his n had failed.


    Feeling disappointed, he tentatively asked, "Would you like toe a little closer?"


    Cecilia moved her sleeping bag, just enough to lean against Jonathan.


    Jonathan''s heart was overflowing with joy.


    Nathaniel asked calmly, "Jon, you''re not afraid of thunder, are you?"


    Jonathan didn''t give it much thought. "Of course not. How could a boy be afraid of thunder? Don''t worry, I''ll protect you all."


    "Then why don''t you sleep on the side to protect us?" Nathaniel suggested solemnly.


    Jonathan realized he had fallen into a trap.


    But given Cecilia''s current situation, perhaps rekindling her rtionship with Nathaniel could help her regain her memory more quickly. Jonathan struggled to get up andy down on the other side of Cecilia. "Mommy, don''t be afraid. I''m here."


    "Thank you, Sweetie," Cecilia said.


    Seizing the moment, Nathaniel eagerlyy down beside Cecilia.


    Lightning shed and thunder roared.


    Outside, the rain was falling.


    At home, they could never quite recreate the atmosphere they were experiencing now.


    Cecilia slept in the very center, no longer as frightened. Gradually, drowsiness overtook her, and she drifted off to sleep.


    Nathaniel remained awake, not daring to sleep. Miranda and Felix


    had left early, giving him an uneasy


    feeling that something was et


    happen.


    Sure enough, in thetter part of the night, when everyone else had fallen asleep, he felt the presence of someone moving around outside where he was sleeping.


    However, the sound of the rain drowned out their footsteps.


    Nathaniel didn''t make a sound, curious to see what these people were nning to do.


    To his surprise, mud started to drip down from outside the tent.


    Andslide in this location was highly improbable; it was clear that these people were plotting to stage an ident. Nathaniel realized what was going on and sent a message to his subordinates.


    Within half an hour, everything had quieted down.


    Nathaniel received a message from his subordinate that read: Mr. Rainsworth, we''ve apprehended everyone outside.


    Nathaniel replied: All right, you all should get some rest now. He then embraced Cecilia and fell asleep.


    The following day, at the break of dawn, Cecilia was roused from her sleep by the startled cries of people.


    She opened her eyes, pulling away

    from Nathaniel''s hand that was ced in front of her. Rising with look of confusion, she asked "What''s going on?"


    Nathaniel also opened his eyes. "I''m not sure. Let''s go take a look outside."


    "Okay."


    Groggy and disoriented, Jonathan managed to get up and followed everyone else outside to see what was happening.


    Having been previously unaware, he was quite shocked when he witnessed the scene.
