When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1607 A Heartless Person

Scorpius walked up to Cecilia. Without uttering a single word, he kneeled in front of her.

Shock filled Cecilia's eyes.

"What's going on here?"

Queenie approached Scorpius and said, "Ceci, he was the person who kidnapped Jon and almost got him killed back then. I orchestrated it all."

Scorpius followed up, saying, "Ms. Cecilia, I'm sorry. I came back this time to atone for my sins. If you wish for my death, I'm ready to die right now!"

Queenie's body started to tremble slightly when she heard those words.

Scorpius had been with her for so many years, always considering her interests first. If not for him, she wouldn't be where she was then.

"Ceci, I need to ask you to forgive Scorpius," Queenie uttered, mustering up the courage. "I know I don't have the right to say this. As the child's granny, I deserve condemnation more than he does." Eventually, Cecilia understood why they were there.

Her memory had not fully returned at that point, but she would vaguely dream of Jonathan in peril.

Back then, her son's life was at stake. Hence, she couldn't possibly forgive and forget so easily.

Cecilia clenched her fists and asked, "What if I don't forgive?"

Right then, Nathaniel had also made his way to her side.

"Mdm. Queenie, your behavior is quite out of line right now. You are well aware that Ceci hasn't regained her memory yet. Are you here to pressure her?"

"No... It's just that..." Queenie's eyes were tinged with red. She was afraid she couldn't wait much longer.

The words that followed got stuck in her throat, and she just couldn't voice them out.

"Nathaniel, Ceci, state your conditions. Whatever is within our reach, I will surely accomplish it," Queenie said.

Nathaniel looked toward Cecilia.

Cecilia's fingertips sank deeply into the palms of her hands. "There should be a price to pay for mistakes, shouldn't there? You, him, and Cassandra, you all once wanted me and my son dead. Shouldn't you turn yourselves in and face imprisonment?"

Queenie's mind was in a whirl.

After hearing that, Scorpius bowed deeply toward the ground. "Ms. Cecilia, this matter has nothing to do with Ms. Evans or Mdm. Queenie. I'm willing to go to jail, but I beg you to grant me a little time."

"Mdm. Queenie's health isn't great right now, so can I stay with her for a year?" Scorpius enunciated, "Rest assured. I don't think I'll go back on my word." Queenie felt even more upset. "Scorpius, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After she had scolded with a remark, she then turned to Cecilia with a smile. "All right. Once I've settled all the business matters, we'll go do just that."

Queenie understood well that this could be the only way for her to reach a mutual understanding with Cecilia and Cecilia's mother.

Scorpius, however, shook his head. "Mdm. Queenie, your health isn't in the best condition. You can't go. I'll handle it all by myself. I did everything alone." Cecilia's emotions grew particularly complicated when she saw the two of them in such a state.

She steeled herself and said, "Please, sort it out amongst yourselves and stop discussing it in my presence."

Upon seeing the situation, Scorpius finally stood up and helped Queenie to leave.

After they left, Cecilia sank heavily into the couch, feeling particularly exhausted.

Nathaniel had not expected that Cecilia would make such a decision.

The room was unusually quiet. When Cecilia opened her eyes, she looked at Nathaniel and asked him, "Am I heartless?"

It was clear that all the things that happened in the past were misunderstandings. Moreover, Queenie was her biological mother.

Had Queenie known that Cecilia was her own flesh and blood, she surely wouldn't have hurt Cecilia in the past.

"This isn't about being heartless or not. They really did hurt you and Jon. We can't say that ignorance is a complete excuse, can we?" Nathaniel comforted her.

Cecilia was still feeling uneasy.

"Hmm... Kean't recall the incident right now. Just hearing about it is frightening. I wonder what will happen when I do remember"
