Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 An Important Clue 

"Le-Leila didn't die?" 

Cecelia was shocked to hear Nick say this. 

"Mr. Miller, are you telling the truth? My mother is still alive?" 

If this was true, then the incident of her mother's ashes being switched would make sense. 

"Yes, she is still alive," responded Nick. 

"No wonder her ashes were switched. I have been looking for her ashes, and I didn't expect her to be still alive. Do you know where she is now?" Cecelia asked excitedly. 

"She... she was..." 

Nick's condition was very serious. After speaking, he began to draw breath with extreme difficulty and coughed violently. 

"Mr. Miller, are you all right?" 

Cecelia noticed that he seemed to be having an attack. He looked very unwell, lying on the bed and gasping for air as if someone were strangling him. 

Realizing that something was wrong, Cecelia quickly pressed the bell by the bed and shouted, "Remington! Come in, Remington!" 

Remington heard her call and rushed in, seeing Nick struggling on the bed. 

"What's going on?" he asked. 

"It seems like his condition has worsened. Call the doctor! Hurry up!" Cecelia urged. 

Remington immediately shouted to his subordinates, "Quick! Call the doctor!" 

The bodyguards hurried to look for the doctor. 

Cecelia looked at Nick's grimace and anxiously said, "Mr. Miller, Hold on!" 

She had many more questions to ask him, so she couldn't let anything happen to him! 

The man tortured by illness struggled wildly like he had epilepsy, already delirious. 

Remington also helped restrain Nick and pinned down his hand where there was a syringe needle. 

Cecelia frowned tightly. She had a feeling that Nick's symptoms were not like those of gastric cancer, but more like the failure of some organ. 

At this moment, a young man darted in through the door when he found Nick having an attack. 

"Dad! Dad! Are you okay?" the young man shouted in grief. 

Cecelia was particularly shocked when she saw the man because he was the one who had secretly sent her blue jacaranda flowers several times. 

"So he is Nick's son?" wondered Cecelia. 

There was another rush of feet from the door, and medical staff rushed in. 

Cecelia and Remington had to step aside. The doctor examined Nick's symptoms and immediately said, "Quick! Take him to the emergency room!" 

The medical staff pushed Nick into the emergency room, and Cecelia, Remington, and the young man followed. 

Seeing the grieving man, Cecelia walked over and asked, "Are you Mr. Miller's son?" 

The man nodded. "Yes. I'm Morty Miller." 

"Hello, Morty! Were you the one who sent the blue jacaranda flowers to my mother and to me?" Cecelia asked. 

"Yes, it was me." 

Morty was slim and handsome and looked quite young. He now immersed himself in great grief because of his father's illness. 

Cecelia thought about what Nick had told her earlier. Someone had been spying on her and her mother, and that was why he had asked Morty to send them flowers as a hint. 

She wondered who had been spying on them over the years. 

Cecelia wanted to talk to Morty, but there was no way Remington would give her a chance to chat alone with the young man. 

If Cecelia was going to talk with Morty, she would have to let him be there. 

Remington walked over, stood next to Cecelia, and asked, "Morty, when was your father diagnosed with cancer?" 

"Last year," responded Morty. 

"Are you currently taking care of your father while going to school?" Remington asked again. 

"I have been taking care of my father all along, but I have also been interning and working," the young man replied. 

From their conversation, Cecelia was able to learn a little about the lives of Nick and Morty over the years. 

It didn't sound very ideal and was even somewhat difficult. 

Nick had been expelled from the University of the Center City for some reason and lost both his reputation and honor. His recent life was not easy. 

He had to raise his son alone, and he even got cancer. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was for the father and son. 

Before they chatted for long, the door to the emergency room opened, and everyone turned around together.
