When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2123

At the club, Jason stood behind Chelsea with one hand covering the wound on his forehead. His expression was dazed.

Chelsea turned to him. "Let's go to the hospital and get that bandaged up."

Jason stared blankly at her, then said, "No need. It's just a minor wound."

Chelsea frowned. "Your head is bleeding, so how can it be a minor wound?"

As she spoke, she took a tissue from her handbag and offered it to Jason. "Here, wipe it."

Jason stared at her slender hand and only took the tissue after a long moment. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Chelsea beamed at him.

She had thought that Jason would be less cold toward her after this incident. However, Jason used the tissue to perfunctorily wipe the blood from his hand before starting to walk away. "I'm going back to work."

Chelsea quickly called out to him, "How can you still go to work when you're injured? You should rest."

Jason paused in his tracks. "No, I need to work to earn money."

"If it's just about money, I'll give it to you," Chelsea said casually. The measly money Jason earned was nothing to her.

Jason's brows furrowed deeply. He turned to look at Chelsea, a hint of displeasure flashing in his charming eyes.

Chelsea's heart skipped a beat under his gaze, and she immediately explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to thank you properly."

"No need," Jason uttered simply.

With that, Chelsea watched Jason disappear from her sight.

For some reason, her heart felt a little empty, and she regretted what she had just said.

Jason was too proud to accept her charity.

Chelsea had actually asked someone to look into Jason's background, but the only information she got was that he was an orphan.

Hence, she asked the manager for more details and learned that Jason's family was his foster parents.

Without hesitation, she dispatched people to locate Jason's foster parents.

Jason's foster parents lived nearby to get money from him, so finding them was easy.

Chelsea simply had someone give a large sum of money to the couple with one condition: that they stay away from Jason and never bother him again.

Jason's foster parents nodded repeatedly upon receiving the money, promising never to appear before Jason again.

Late that night, Chelsea shared the incident in her group chat with Cecilia and the others.

When Cecilia saw what Chelsea wrote, she felt that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
