When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1766 Something Is Wrong With Zachary

Not much time had passed before a sleek luxury car rolled up.

Cecilia turned and saw Elena stepping out with the two little ones in tow.

"Mom," she greeted.

Elena nodded with a warm smile. "Ceci."

Hearing the voices, Queenie slowly opened her eyes.

Elena immediately walked over. "Mdm. Queenie."

The two women, both of similar age, quickly struck up a conversation. It was as if they had an endless list of topics to discuss.

Cecilia sat nearby, keeping an eye on the four children.

"Mommy..." The two young boys were still struggling with their words, their speech

slightly clumsy. But to Cecilia, they couldn't have been more adorable.

Just then, her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Vivian's name flashing.

"Ceci."

"What's wrong?"

"Could you come to Sinclair Manor?" Vivian's voice was low, almost cautious. Sensing that something was off, Cecilia didn't hesitate. "All right, I'm on my way."

After informing Elena and Queenie, she prepared to leave.

Jonathan, who had been watching her closely, immediately spoke up. "Mommy, let me go with you."

Cecilia nodded. "All right."

With Jonathan by her side, she got into the car and headed straight for Sinclair Manor.

Vivian had been waiting at the entrance of the Sinclair Manor for Cecilia. The moment she saw Cecilia and Jonathan approaching, she let out a sigh of relief.

"For some reason, Zachary has been in his room all day. He hasn't come out, and he won't respond when called."

"Where's Old Mr. Sinclair?" Cecilia asked.

"He went to the hospital for a check-up. I didn't want to worry him," Vivian replied.

Cecilia followed Vivian inside.

Outside Zachary's room, Vivian knocked gently. "Zachary, could you open the door? Ceci and Jon are here."

Inside the room, Zachary stirred in his chair at the mention of Cecilia's name.

After a brief pause, his muffled voice finally came through the door. "What is it?"

"Could you step out for a moment?" Vivian pressed gently. It was her first time seeing Zachary in such a state.

After a long silence, the door finally creaked open. Zachary stood in the doorway, his exhaustion evident. His usually sharp features were dulled by fatigue, a faint stubble shadowing his jaw.

"Cecilia, what brings you here?" He tried to sound composed.noveldrama

Cecilia hesitated, unprepared for the question.

Fortunately, Jonathan stepped in. "Zachary, my mom came to drop me off."

"Oh." Zachary nodded slowly. "Is there anything else?"

Cecilia found herself at a loss for words. Vivian had called her here, yet she still wasn't entirely sure what was going on.

The Zachary standing before them now was a shadow of the man he once was. He had become so lifeless and so despondent.

Vivian exchanged a quick glance

with Cecilia before stepping in.

"You've been locked in your room all

day. Lwas worried something might've happened, so I asked

Cecilia to come check on you."

For a fleeting moment, something unreadable flickered across Zachary's face. Then, he sighed, offering a vague explanation. "There's nothing to worry about just needed some time alone to think."

Vivian hesitated but nodded awkwardly. "As long as you're okay."

Without another word, Zachary retreated into his room, closing the door behind

him.

Vivian sighed and motioned for Cecilia and Jonathan to follow her into the living room.

"Phew." Vivian let out a deep breath. "Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious."

Cecilia raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're not just overthinking?"

Vivian shook her head firmly. "No. When he came back late last night, he looked like he was at death's door, tasked him what was wrong, but he wouldn't say. He just brushed it off and said he was fine."

She didn't know why, but she couldn't stop worrying about Zachary.

Maybe it was because she was carrying his child-fearful that something might happen to the father of her baby.

Glancing at Jonathan, Vivian quickly decided to send him off. "Jonathan, why don't you go do your homework?"

Jonathan could tell they wanted to have a private conversation.
