Chapter 1835 Three Times The Compensation
Nichs had heard about Cecilia''s situation a while ago. He knew she had
recently undergone surgery and had been staying in the hospital due to Queenie''s health conditions.
He rolled down the car window, gazing into the hospital with an exceptionally calm demeanor.
He had been sitting in the car for quite a while when he pulled out his phone again. His eyes lingered on Cecilia''s phone number. Despite a lengthy hesitation, he never made the call.
Nichs was just about to drive off when he noticed two figures emerging. One was Cecilia, and the other was Nathaniel.
He saw Nathaniel carefully guided her, treading cautiously.
Nichs gripped the steering wheel tightly.
He seemed lost in thought, with no indication of what was going through his mind.
Nathaniel and Cecilia didn''t pay attention to his direction. They had stepped out of the building together to make a few purchases. As they were crossing the road, out of nowhere, a car was heading straight toward them.
With quick reflexes, Nathaniel swiftly moved to protect Cecilia.
Startled, Cecilia barely had time to react when she saw the car halt, stopping just
a mere centimeter away from the two of them.
Her heart was pounding fiercely, gazing at Nathaniel in panic.
Nathaniel carefully protected and gently reassured her, "It''s all right now. Don''t be afraid."
In truth, Cecilia couldn''t quite catch what he was saying, but she knew he was trying tofort her. "Mhm."
Nathaniel cast a sharp gaze at the vehicle, his brow furrowed.
Nichs turned the car around and left.
Nathaniel didn''t get a clear look at the driver, but he noted down the license te number. He then picked up his phone and dialed Mason''s number. "Look into this license te number for me."
Cecilia apanied Nathaniel to go shopping, and afterward, he escorted her back to the hospital.
"Take a good rest. I''m off to work now." Nathaniel carefully tucked her in with a nket.
"All right." Cecilia smiled.
Queenie observed from the side, feeling reassured by the couple''s way of interacting with each other.
Nathaniel returned to hispany.
It was then Mason called him and revealed who the driver was on the phone.
"It belonged to Nichs?" Nathaniel asked.
Mason nodded. "Yes. I had someone review the footage of this route, and it was indeed his car."
Nathaniel was taken aback. He hadn''t anticipated his younger brother to be that insane. “What has he been up totely?"
Recently, there had been too many things happening on Cecilia''s end, to the point that Nathaniel didn''t even have the time to pay attention to matters concerning Nichs.
"I was informed he''s coborating with Mr. ine on several projects," Mason answered.
Nathaniel''s expression shifted when he heard ine''s name.
"Do you want someone to keep a close watch?" Mason asked.
"There''s no need," Nathaniel stated solemnly.
"All right."
Nathaniel then called ine, who answered the call quickly. "Nathaniel, what''s
gotten into you today? Why are you calling me?"
"End your project with Nichs," Nathaniel said.
There was a brief silence on the phone, followed by ine''snguid voice. "Wouldn''t that be
inappropriate? We''ve already

signed
a contract. If I were to break it, I would have to paypensation."
"I''ll give you three times thepensation," Nathaniel dered.
After hearing that, ine couldn''t help but wonder, "Nathaniel, he''s your own little brother. Isn''t that a bit much?"
"If you refuse, don''t me me for taking action." Nathaniel didn''t bother with
further conversation.
ine was utterly bewildered. "I''m your cousin, though.”
After uttering those words, he wished he could smack his face.
After all, if Nathaniel had no qualms about dealing with his own younger brother,
why would he care about a cousin?
"Will you agree or not?" Nathaniel was running out of patience.
"All right, all right. I''ll do as you ask. However, if any issues arise between you brothers in the future, don''t me me―" Before ine could finish his sentence, Nathaniel had already hung up the phone on him. s?novel
