When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Flowers And A Card
Once the commotion had settled, both Jonathan and Cecilia were taken to the hospital for check-ups.

Jonathan was fine. The main issue was Cecilia's face.

“Ms. Smith's facial injuries are quite severe,” the doctor said after his examination. “Even after healing, I'm afraid there might be scars. She may need to consider plastic surgery in the future.”

Cecilia didn't care about the injuries on her own face. All she cared about was Jonathan's safety.

What she desperately wanted to know now was who exactly had kidnapped Jonathan.

When she tried to call back the number that had contacted her, it was disconnected, leaving her with a dead end in her search for clues.

Relying on his memory, Jonathan managed to sketch out a rough portrait of Scarface's face.

“He was acting on someone else's orders. I heard him making inquiries over the phone.” Jonathan paused before continuing, “The person on the phone seemed to want me dead. However, he probably couldn't bear to do it, so he didn't.”

After hearing about it, Cecilia felt increasingly fearful and decided that she had to find out who the mastermind was.

Jonathan gazed at Cecilia's right cheek, swathed in bandages, his heart aching with sympathy.

“Mommy, you must be in pain, right? Can I blow on it to make you feel better?”

In the past, whenever he accidentally cut his hand while chopping vegetables, it was always Cecilia who would blow on his wound.

Seeing how well-behaved and understanding her son was, Cecilia lowered her head and said, “All right.”

Jonathan gently blew on her cheek.

“I'm not in pain anymore,” Cecilia reassured him.

Jonathan was no fool. He recalled the deep wound he saw on Cecilia's face when he was rescued. How could Mommy not be in pain? Who on earth did this to Mommy and wanted me dead?

Outside the ward, Nathaniel and Zachary were discussing the recent events while Vivian was inquiring about the specific situation from the doctor.

After getting a grasp of the situation, Vivian went into the ward and said, “Ceci, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Jon, and he ended up getting hurt.”

Cecilia didn't blame her. “Vivian, don't blame yourselves for what happened this time. I know they were after me.”
