The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 910
“I’ll have someone clean this place up later,” Jonathan said.
“Oh,” Rosalie answered with a blush.
Jonathan helped Rosalie clean up and get changed into a new hospital gown.
“By the way, Mr. Sabatini said that I can be discharged from the hospital in two days. I want to go and meet Zeki first,” Rosalie
informed.
Zekiah had been discharged from the hospital but refused to stay at the Youngblood Residence. He insisted on returning to the
Burton residence because Karina was there.
Rosalie didn’t want Zekiah to be more resistant toward them, so she decided to let him stay at the Burton residence after
discussing it with Jonathan.
The Burton family agreed with the arrangement and even seemed enthusiastic about caring for Zekiah. However, Rosalie knew
they simply wanted to be on good terms with the Youngblood family.
Jonathan replied, “Okay, but if you want the child to return to the Youngblood residence, I can think of another way.”
It was not difficult for him to have Zekiah return to the Youngblood residence, but he had to use some
means.
“Let’s leave things as they are for now and take it slow. After all, we’ve already waited for five years. I don’t mind waiting a bit
longer for him to accept us. We can bring him back to the Youngblood residence when he does,” said Rosalie.
“I’ll do as you say, then,” Jonathan agreed.
On the day of Rosalie’s discharge, Lillian headed over to Amelia’s concession stand once she knew of Rosalie’s intention to visit
Zekiah and waited there since she didn’t want to rush Rosalie by going to the hospital.
When the elementary school was about to be dismissed, Lillian saw Zekiah walking to the gates and waiting for his favorite sister
Karina to come out.

That time, however, Zekiah was not alone. Wayne and Jeanette were accompanying him as if they were his guards.
One held a thermos, while the other carried various snacks and fruits. They would bend down from time to time to speak to
Zekiah with a kind expression.
However, Zekiah ignored them and trained his gaze at the iron gates.
“How shameless of them! Their attitude toward Zeki had changed completely despite how they used to treat him!” Seeing this,
Lillian said to Amelia.
“That’s good. At least they dare not do anything to him during his stay at the Burton residence,” Amelia commented.
“True that.” Lillian nodded in agreement. As they spoke, a black Bentley pulled up to them. Subsequently, Rosalie and Jonathan
got out of the car.
Not a trace of joy crossed Zekiah’s face when he spotted the two people he should address as Daddy and Mommy. Instead, he
raised his guard, looking vigilant, and even took a few steps back. His desire not to meet with them was evident in his body
language.
Rosalie caught the wary look on her son’s face and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
“Zeki, I’m not here to take you away. I’m just here to see you,” Rosalie assured.
However, the cautiousness on his face didn’t diminish in the slightest.
Jonathan warned coldly, “It’s easy for us to take you away, so you better not treat your mom like this, or 1 won’t hold back even if
you are my son.”
Zekiah finally asked, “You really won’t take me away?”
“We’ll take you home when you’re ready to come back with us,” Rosalie promised.”
Only then did Zekiah’s guard lowered slightly. Yet, he still shrunk away, obviously unwilling, when Rosalie
1/2
squatted down, wanting to hug him.

Jeanette said zealously in a hurry, “Don’t feel bad, Mrs. Youngblood, Zeki is still young. You may rest easy now that he is staying
at the Burton residence. Patrick and I will take good care of him!”
At that moment, Jeanette seemed to have completely forgotten their past treatment of Zekiah. From the Burton family’s
standpoint, the longer Zekiah stayed with them, the better it was for them. That way, they would have more chances to get
acquainted with the Youngblood family.
Lillian came over from the concession stand, heard Jeanette’s pretentious words, and sneered, “How shameless of you to say
something like that! I wonder who was the one that beat a young child so badly that bruises covered his entire body.”
Jeanette’s expression froze.
Lillian squatted down again and met Zekiah’s gaze. “Do you know how much your mother has suffered for you? The only reason
you can stand here and wait for your sister to finish school is because your mom risked her life to save you!”
Zekiah pursed his lips into a straight line, not saying anything.
Lillian had interacted with him before, so naturally, she understood how he differed from the other ordinary children.
“Your mom is the person who loves you the most in this world, okay?” Lillian asked.
Yet, Zekiah retorted, “The one who loves me most in this world is Karrie!”
Lillian nearly burst out laughing at his answer. “Do you know what it feels like to be truly loved?” “Karrie is the person who loves
me the most, and I love her the most!” Zekiah repeated firmly.
“This kid...” Lillian was speechless at his stubbornness.
“Love the most? What does a five-year-old kid know about what or who he loves the most?” she thought. Rosalie chimed in,
“Okay, Zeki. Your dad and I love you!”
The school bell rang, and Zekiah immediately stopped talking. His eyes focused on the students walking out of the building one
after another.
Finally, when Karina walked out of the school gate, Zekiah ran toward her and threw himself into her
arms.

Sadness rose within Rosalie when she saw how attached Zekiah was toward Karina. She was ever grateful for Karina.
If the young girl hadn’t protected Zekiah with her tiny body, Zekiah might have lived a worse life in the past two years.
Karina’s sincere kindness toward Zekiah was precisely why he became so attached to her.
“Ms. Leighton, Mr. Youngblood,” Karina greeted Rosalie and Jonathan. Then, Karina asked timidly, “Are you... here to take Zeki
away?”
Karina’s question prompted Zekiah to embrace her tighter.
“No, we’re just here to see Zeki.” Rosalie replied, “He might have to stay with you for a while longer.” Relief flooded Karina upon
hearing her answer.
Rosalie chatted with Karina for a while before insisting on sending her and Zekiah back to the Burton residence. Naturally,
Jonathan would accompany her. Wayne and Jeanette were overjoyed.
If news of Jonathan and Rosalie coming to their house spread, everyone would think highly of them.
Facing Rosalie, Lillian asked, “I won’t be going to the Burton residence, then. How’s your hand? Did the doctor say when it will
fully recover?”
