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.
