Chapter 552 Courting Death

At that time, all Cecilia wanted was for Jonathan to stay alive. She didn’t even consider her own words. She simply held onto his hand tightly and said, “Nathaniel, as long as you save Jon and ensure he’s all right, I won’t pursue the divorce anymore. I’ll stay…”

Tears streamed down her face, mingling with the blood on her cheeks, and fell onto the back of Nathaniel’s hand.

Nathaniel raised his hand to wipe her tears, but as he touched the stickiness on her face, realization dawned on him. “What happened to your face?” he asked.

It was then that he noticed the heavy scent of blood all over Cecilia.

“They said they would let Jon go after I ruined my face. However…”

A sudden tightness gripped Nathaniel’s heart and throat.

He couldn’t see, but his palms were slick with blood.

“Mason, call the doctor over already!”

When they arrived, the medical team was also on standby, ready to respond to any emergency that might arise.

Mason had also just snapped back to reality. “Yes.”

“I’m fine. There’s no need for a doctor…” Cecilia refused.

“Listen to me. I promise I won’t let anything happen to Jon.”

With Nathaniel’s assurance, Cecilia managed to calm down a bit, but she still didn’t want to leave.

Immediately, Nathaniel had a doctor come over to examine her.

The doctor caught sight of the injury on Cecilia’s face and was taken aback. How has such a deep scar been caused?

He first cleaned Cecilia’s wound for her.

Meanwhile, the helicopter had finally reached directly above Jonathan. Fearing the rotor blades. might harm the child, they could only drop down a ladder for someone to descend and rescue.

Zachary was taken aback by what he saw, his heart pounding with alarm. He was also worried about Cecilia, who was by his side.

Upon seeing someone coming to his rescue, Jonathan calmly extended his hand toward them.

Someone was hosting a live stream online, and many people were on tenterhooks.

They were all astonished by the composure of the young child.

Someone commented: This kid is simply incredible. If it were me, my legs would have turned to jelly from fear.

Another commented: My goodness! The rescuer has finally gotten hold of the child!

The moment the rescuer held onto Jonathan, everyone, excluding Cassandra, let out a sigh of relief.

Cassandra stood in front of the screen, stomping her foot in frustration.

“What is Scorpius doing? Why isn’t he answering my calls? Why has he let that child go?”

Queenie saw the event unfolding and said, “Cassandra, let it go. We’ve already taken revenge. After this, Cecilia is bound to live a more understated life.”

At that moment, Scarface called and said, “Mdm. Queenie, I’m sorry. I just couldn’t bring myself to harm such a young child.”

Before Queenie could utter a word, Cassandra had already started berating him.

“Scorpius, my mom didn’t raise you just so you can make your own decisions. If there’s a next time, believe it or not, you’ll be fired.”

“Cassandra!”

Queenie was getting quite angry.

Scorpius Jimenez had been with Queenie, through thick and thin, for half of her life. Cassandra didn’t have the right to say such words to Scorpius.

Upon seeing her mother’s anger, Cassandra finally fell silent.

“Scorpius, you did the right thing. Go and rest now.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Queenie turned to Cassandra and said, “Scorpius is not a subordinate. You are not allowed to disrespect him in the future.”

She was reluctant to criticize Cassandra too harshly. Instead, she gently reminded her a few times about the importance of humility in one’s conduct.

On the surface, Cassandra agreed.

Over at Tudela Bridge, after being rescued, Jonathan immediately flung himself into Cecilia’s

arms.

“Mommy!”

George also hurried over. Seeing that Jonathan was all right, he sat in the car, his previously anxious heart finally settling down.

“Oh! How wonderful it would be if this child were truly my grandchild.”

After he finished speaking, he asked his subordinate, “Have we found out who did this?”

The subordinate shook his head. “Not yet. I suspect the people who took Jon away have a formidable force behind them.”

“Of course, anyone daring enough to mess with people who matter to the Rainsworth family and the Sinclair family is indeed courting death.”
