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. | heard him making inquiries over the phone.” Jonathan. paused
before continuing, “The person on the phone seemed to wantdead. However, he probably couldn’t bear to
do it, so he didn't.”

was.
Jonathan gazed at Cecilia's right cheek, swathed in bandages, his heart aching with sympathy.
“Mommy, you must be in pain, right? Can | 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 wanteddead?
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. | didn’t
take good care of Jon, and he ended up getting hurt.”
Cecilia didn’t blher “Vivian don’t blyourselves for what hannened this t| know they were after me.”
Before that, Scarface called Cecilia and urged her to leave Tudela. He even told her to ruin her face.
Cecilia speculated that the mastermind could be Paula.
Hence, she told Jonathan to go out. Afterward, she shared her suspicions with Vivian.
Vivian found it hard to believe. “She’s your own mother, though! How could she do this to Jon, her own
grandchild?”
Cecilia gave a bitter smile. “She never consideredher daughter. Last time. Magnus approached me, asking
Vivian clenched her fists tightly. “How infuriating!”
“However, I'm not quite sure. The most crucial thing right now is to find this man with a scar on his face.” Cecilia
handed the sketch over to Vivian.
Vivian snapped a picture and said, “All right, I'll get Zachary to look for this person right away.”
It was Zachary who had lost the child, so it was then his responsibility to make things right.
“All right.”

and a card from Paula that day.
The words on the card read: Ceci, | heard you got hurt. Are you okay? I'm sorry | can’t cto see you. I'm
unwell right now.
Cecilia looked at the words written on the card, somewhat in disbelief.
Suddenly, the sound of an argument could be heard from outside.
“Why are you stopping me? I'm just here to see my sister and my little nephew.
It was Magnus.
Cecilia sat up and said to Sven at the door, “Let him in.”
Only then did Sven let Magnus in.
Magnus walked in, looking around. It struck him as odd that he didn’t see the child anywhere. Isn't it said that
Cecilia secretly had a child with Nathaniel?
