When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 1649 The Kidnapper
Recently, Jonathan had been residing in the Smith residence.

He was on high alert, constantly feeling as though someone was secretly watching him, yet he had no idea who it could be.

That day, after he had sent a message to Sven, he deliberately headed toward a secluded area, intending to lure that person out into the open.

Jonathan headed to a dead end, deliberately hiding in a corner.

Scorpius, who had been following him all along, ventured into the narrow alley. Upon realizing that the path ahead led to a dead end and there was no sign of the child, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety.

He strode forward, asking, “Where is he?”

As he was talking to himself, a crowd surged from behind, encircling him.

Jonathan also emerged from behind a trash can, instantly recognizing Scorpius. “So it's you.”

Scorpius was none other than the person who had kidnapped him back then.

Immediately, Sven had Scorpius restrained.

It was then that Scorpius understood that he had been deceived. However, he wasn't scared in the slightest. Instead, he was awestruck by Jonathan's intelligence, for the boy had successfully fooled him.

Sven quickly approached Jonathan. “Jon, are you okay?”

Jonathan shook his head. “I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Sven.”

After he finished speaking, he pointed at Scorpius and said to Sven, “He was the one who kidnapped me back then.”

Sven nodded. “All right, I understand. I'll hand him over to either Cecilia or Mr. Rainsworth.”

“Mhm,” Jonathan nodded repeatedly.

At that moment, he slowly approached Scorpius, questioning him, “Why are you following me? Are you planning to harm me again?”

Scorpius shook his head as he looked at the child who, although not as tall as himself, exuded an air of nobility. “No, I came to atone for my sins.”

He was aware of Queenie's physical condition, understanding that she couldn't endure for much longer. Therefore, he decided to spend more time with Queenie.

After a moment of silence, Nathaniel turned to Cecilia and said, “I'll go see him.”

“All right.” Cecilia nodded.

Before leaving, Nathaniel couldn't help but ask her, “Earlier, Scorpius said he'd like to be given the opportunity to spend time with Queenie. After that, he promised to go to jail voluntarily. Should we let him go if nothing incriminating is found this time?”

Cecilia was not willing to gamble with Jonathan's life. “He could be released, but he must not be allowed to get close to Jon and the other children again.”

After hearing her say that, Nathaniel left.

Cecilia immediately went to check on Jonathan.

At that moment, Jonathan was seated in front of the computer, busily immersed in some task. Upon hearing footsteps approaching from behind, he promptly shut off his computer. “Mommy.”

“Jon, you didn't encounter any danger today, did you?” Cecilia asked with concern.

Jonathan shook his head. “Mommy, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself.”
