Chapter 520 Not Going Home Together

Nevertheless, he quickly regained his composure and flipped aside his blanket to get out of bed. “Take me to where

Christina fell.”

Given the gravity of the situation, Sebastian and Francis led him there, as neither of them dared to disobey.

Upon arriving at the location where Christina had fallen into the sea, Nathaniel’s eyes twitched.

He had to muster all his strength just to stop his urge to jump down.

“How long has the search been going on?”

“More than half an hour,” Sebastian replied.

A frown descended on Nathaniel’s face, for he couldn’t imagine the condition Christina was in after being lost at sea

for that period of time.

Turning around, he put on his diving gear to join the rescue team in their search.

Driving a speedboat, Nathaniel searched within a five-kilometer radius of where Christina was last seen before

expanding the area to a ten-kilometer radius.

He would go on to comb every inch of the ocean.

Fortunately, the area was a shallow bay that was popular with tourists, and there were also no predators such as

sharks.

Even then, Christina would likely be injured after falling from such heights. It didn’t help that she was also at risk of

being washed away by the waves.

As time ticked by, everyone began to fear for the worst.

It was then that someone shouted, “We found her!”

The words were like a light that pierced through the darkness, causing everyone’s eyes to brighten.

Having been informed of the development through his earpiece, Nathaniel hurried over at once.

However, the sight of Madison being pulled out of the water extinguished the hope he had harbored within him.

Meanwhile, the Lesley and Taggart families had also arrived at the scene upon hearing the news,

After CPR was applied to her, Madison began to throw up seawater and regained her pulse. It was just that she had

yet to regain her consciousness.

Maggie, broken-hearted over the state of her granddaughter and having fainted from crying earlier, ordered

Madison to be taken to the best hospital around upon learning that the latter was still alive.

“Wait!” Just as the medical personnel was about to load Madison onto the vehicle arranged by the Taggart family,

Nathaniel stopped them.

He offered, “Old Mrs. Taggart, I have just made a call and arranged for the best doctors to treat Ms. Taggart. Please

let my men send her over.”

Maggie’s expression changed upon hearing his words. “You don’t have to. The Taggart family can still afford a

doctor.”

However, the look on Nathaniel’s face darkened as he blocked Maggie’s way. He looked like an immovable.

mountain in front of her.

Pinching the rosary in her hands, Maggie was well aware of what Nathaniel was up to.

Everything would be fine if Christina were to be found. Otherwise. Madison’s life might end up being forfeited.

“Preston, now that your fiancée is hurt, shouldn’t you go to the hospital with her?” Maggie turned around to look at

the Lesley family after giving the matter some thought.

If the Taggart and Lesley families were to stand together at this moment, Nathaniel wouldn’t be able to forcefully

take Madison away regardless of how powerful he was.

As for Preston, the heir to the Lesley family, he was naturally a handsome and chivalric man. Nonetheless, he still

lacked the domineering aura which Nathaniel possessed.

Fortunately, not only was he rich, but he also had a calm head.

Immediately after the incident, he found out that Christina was the other person who fell into the sea with Madison.

Using that lead, he began to further his investigations.

Consequently, the reporters-pressured by the powerful Lesley family-revealed that Madison had called them there.

As Preston was aware that Madison used to be an employee at Hadley Corporation, he could guess why she invited

so many reporters over.

Therefore, after a brief silence, Preston came forward and said, “Since Mr. Hadley has made the arrangements,

thanking him is the least I can do.”

He didn’t choose to take the Taggart family’s side after learning of Madison’s true intentions.

Consequently, it made sense for him to end the marriage alliance on the spot while doing the Hadley family a favor.

“What?” Preston’s rejection caused Maggie to faint again. Luckily, she was supported by those around her.

Nathaniel then gave Preston a look of gratitude before leaving the matter in Sebastian’s hands.

The latter did as he was told by sending Madison to a secret medical facility.

Security was tightened all around the facility so that the Taggart family wouldn’t be able to rescue her.

Once he had dealt with Madison, Nathaniel dived back into the sea to continue his search for Christina.

By the time evening was upon them, they had already searched the area once.

Some of the more experienced rescuers were not optimistic about Christina’s chances of survival.

Despite their concerns, they still had to find her body to give her family closure.

In contrast to their pessimism, Nathaniel firmly believed that Christina was still alive. He refused to accept. any

thought of her death.

For now, he just didn’t know where she had floated to.

Thereafter, the rescue team combed the sea for three days and nights, but they still came up empty-

handed.

For that same reason, Nathaniel didn’t return to Scenic Garden Manor.

When Charlie and Julia caught wind of what had happened, they hurried over together with Lucas and Camila.

Coincidentally, they ran into Nathaniel upon their arrival. The latter was just heading back out to sea.

At that moment, Nathaniel’s face looked haggard and unshaven, while his body had clearly lost a lot of weight.

It looked as if he had become a different person.

Julia’s eyes reddened at the sight of her son as she pushed Lucas and Camila forward.

The two children ran up to their father in unison. “Daddy!”

They tilted their heads back to stare at their father, similar looks of delight on their faces.

They were oblivious to what had happened, as their grandparents only told them to tell their father to

come home.

Cheered up slightly by the children’s presence, Nathaniel gave their heads a tousle. “Lucas, Camila.”

“Daddy, we’ve missed you. Come home with us, all right?” Lucas appealed upon remembering his grandparents’

instruction.

Camila nodded in agreement. “Where’s Mommy? Isn’t she together with you?”

The children had spent the last few days at their grandparents’ place. Even though it was fun, it st feel like home. At

the same time, they had begun to miss their parents.

Meanwhile, the three adults were stung by Camila’s innocent question.

In response,

Nathaniel kneeled down to be at eye level with his children. “Lucas, Camila, listen to me. Go home with your

grandpa and grandma first. I’ll come later together with your mommy.”

The clueless Camila asked, “Daddy, why can’t all of us go home together?”

Lucas, too, shot Nathaniel a puzzled look.

The question was one that Nathaniel didn’t have an answer to.

Not Going Home Together

Even though it was rare for a man to cry, Nathaniel couldn’t help but feel his eyes water.

“Come over here, Camila, Lucas.” Having never seen his son like this before, Charlie felt his heart ache. He

beckoned for the children to come over before having Julia take them away.

Sensing something amiss, the reluctant Lucas and Camila cried out, “Daddy…”
