Cecilia's face flushed a deep red. "Really, you don't have to."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nathaniel rose to his feet, sweeping her off the ground and into

his arms.

Suddenly, Cecilia found herself hanging in mid-air. She hastily clutched onto Nathaniel's clothes.

"Put me down!"

The commotion here caught the attention of quite a few onlookers.

One by one, they looked over, filled with envy and jealousy.

Some people began to make sarcastic remarks,noveldrama

"How dramatic! She's only halfway up the mountain and she's already asking her husband to carry her." Someone even said to her husband, "Honey, I can't walk anymore. Could you carry me or at least hold me?" The woman's husband sighed. "Don't you know how heavy you are? How am I supposed to carry you?" Some doting husbands carried their wives, but at their current age, they simply didn't have the stamina. After carrying them for a while, they could no longer hold on.

The atmosphere inexplicably became livelier. Miranda occasionally glanced back, noticing Cecilia being carried by Nathaniel. A chill was evident in her gaze.

Cecilia wished the ground could swallow her whole. "Put me down! This is making me even more uncomfortable."

Nathaniel looked down at her. "What's making you uncomfortable?"

"I feel uncomfortable." At that moment, Cecilia's face was burning with embarrassment.

Upon hearing these words, Nathaniel gently set her down. "Is it because we're too high up and you can't breathe?"

Cecilia kept her head down, not daring to look at him.

She never anticipated that someone of his stature would resort to such childish antics. Acting like that in front of so many parents and children was truly embarrassing. Some children couldn't resist imitating them.

Cecilia overheard a little girl telling a little boy, "When we're married in the future and I can't walk, you have to carry me."

The little boy patted his chest. "Don't worry."

Cecilia was overcome with embarrassment.

Noticing her silence, Nathaniel quietly stayed by her side and suggested, "Should we head back?"

"It's okay. I just need a moment to rest," Cecilia reassured as she found a stone bench to sit on. She decided to wait until all the other parents had left before following them. Nathaniel didn't insist any further and stayed by her side.

From a distance, Jonathan silently observed. Witnessing the current state of his parents' relationship, he felt a slight sense of calm in his heart.

He didn't stop and followed the children up the mountain, intending to leave the two alone for some private time.

After resting and noticing that everyone had walked off into the distance, Cecilia got to her feet. "Let's go." "Can you still walk?" Nathaniel asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about me." Cecilia wouldn't dare complain about being tired now.

Despite her discomfort, she continued walking forward For some reason, the road ahead felt unusually long.

After about half an hour of walking, Cecilia's vision went black. Unable.to maintain control, she collapsed backward.

The pain didn't come as expected, as Nathaniel was behind her, catching her in his arms. "Ceci."

Cecilia felt a bit dizzy, and it took a while for her vision to clear. She wanted to get up, but she lacked the strength. "Could you, maybe, help me find a place to sit for a bit longer?"

She never expected herself to be this fragile. Even before she reached the summit, she began to feel slightly dizzy.

Nathaniel scooped her up in one swift motion, seeking out a place for them to rest. Once he set her down, he poured her a drink of water. "Here, have some water."

Cecilia took a sip.

-Previously, Zachary had examined Cecilia's health. She was still recuperating from the physical toll caused

by the birth of her twins last year, which had left her in a weakened state.

During the break, the pitter-patter outside continued relentlessly, and unbeknownst to them, a heavy rain had started once again.
