When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1764 Scorpius And His Decision

His words took her by surprise. "Why so suddenly?"

Scorpius lowered his head slightly, as if trying to hide the guilt flickering across his face. "Back when you lost your memory, you didn't forgive Mdm. Queenie. So, I thought I should stand by her side and help her more. But now that you've regained your memories... it's time for me to take responsibility for my own actions."

His meaning was clear-he intended to turn himself in.

Back then, he had kidnapped Jonathan, nearly leading to the deaths of both Jonathan and Cecilia.

Now that she had regained all her memories, Cecilia had often thought about this matter. Truthfully, it was impossible to completely forgive and forget.

Even now, the scar on her right cheek remained, a permanent reminder of what had happened. However, Scorpius wasn't the sole culprit behind it all.

"If you're turning yourself in, does that mean my mom should do the same?" Cecilia asked calmly.

Scorpius was visibly startled before quickly shaking his head. "No! This whole mess is entirely my fault. It has nothing to do with Mdm. Queenie. She was deceived by others. Ms. Cecilia, she's your mother. She would never harm you— she would give her life for you without hesitation! And besides, her health... she wouldn't survive imprisonment. She's suffered enough over the years..."
