Chapter 896

“But I don’t like them,” Zekiah said.

“Why don’t you like them? They are good people.” Karina asked in confusion.

“I’ll be separated from Karrie, right? I won’t be with her anymore in the future. I don’t like them, and I don’t want them to be my Daddy or Mommy.” As Zekiah spoke, he stretched out both his hands and hugged Karina, burying his face in her chest as he was filled with a sense of attachment to her.

At this moment, he appeared to be back to being an obedient kitten.

Hearing this, Karina also showed a sad look on her face. Looking at Jonathan and Rosalie, she asked, “Mr. Youngblood and Ms. Leighton, are you going to take Zeki away?”

“Zeki is our son. He will naturally be reunited with his biological family by returning to the Youngblood residence. However, if you want to meet him, you can do so at any time,” Jonathan said.

“I don’t want to go back to the Youngblood residence. I just want to be with Karrie,” Zekiah said in a serious tone. He held Karina even more tightly with both his hands. His gaze toward Jonathan and Rosalie naturally carried a hint of hostility.

To him, his so-called father and mother were just enemies who wanted to separate him from his sister.

“Well, let’s try to come up with a win-win solution. For example, if Karina can also come and live at the Youngblood residence, both of you can be together every day,” Rosalie said.

Zekiah’s dark eyes suddenly lit up, while Karina felt a little confused.

“Am I also going to the Youngblood residence and staying with Zeki every day?” she wondered to herself.

“Zeki, Daddy and I aren’t your enemies. We will be the ones who love you the most, protect you, and ensure you grow up well,” Rosalie said to Zekiah.

Zekiah remained silent, but his gaze fell upon Rosalie’s hand.

He remembered that when he saw her before, there weren’t so many white bandages on her fingers.

But now, her hands also had white bandages, just like the ones on his body.

Was this woman also injured because she saved him?

“Is this… my Mommy?” Zekiah thought to himself.

When Rosalie came out of the inpatient department, the Burton family eagerly approached her again, seemingly wanting to get close to her.

Jonathan said coldly, “You should be grateful that Karina is a part of the Burton family. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here and spew such nonsense?”

“Well… We’re Zeki’s adopted parents, after all.”

do de some credit for our hard work!”

Jeanette muttered. While both her wrists were still in casts, she didn’t even lie on her hospital bed as she waited eagerly for Jonathan and Rosalie.

“Hard work?” Jonathan sneered. “What kind of hard work have you done? You took the money to rajse a child. Even if you hired a full-time nanny, that would have been sufficient. Instead, you beat my son to the point of him having injuries all over his body.”

“T-That’s also for Zeki’s own good. We were just afraid that he would get into trouble in the future!”

Jeanette explained.

However, Jonathan directly ordered his subordinates, “From now on, apart from Karina Burton, no one else from the Burton family is allowed to set foot in this hospital during Zeki’s hospitalization!”

“Mr. Youngblood, what are you…” Wayne shouted.

“And as for you, the Burton family, you received a certain amount of money for raising the child back then, and I expect you to return the rightful amount to me. If there is even a single penny missing, you will find out what the consequences will be in due time.” After saying that, Jonathan left with Rosalie.

Wayne and Jeanette were dumbfounded.

They originally intended to curry favor with Rosalie, but now, it turned out that they had to return the money they received in the past. There was no way they could endure such a situation.

When Rosalie and Jonathan returned to the Youngblood residence, they heard Gary say, “No matter what, Ms. Youngblood wouldn’t let anyone take the child away. She even got handcuffs and handcuffed herself with the child, before flushing the keys down the toilet!”

“The child?” Rosalie was stunned. “Who is it?”

“Yvette’s son.” The person who answered was Jonathan.

“Yvette’s son?” Rosalie thought to herself. She immediately realized it was the little boy who was very skilled at playing the piano at the exhibition. “But how did he end up with Jen? And at the Youngblood residence?” she mused.

“When you went to save Zeki, Jen sneaked out of the house. Somehow, she happened to run into Yvette’s son. Later, when those who were taking care of Jen found her, she insisted on bringing the child back with her.” However, Jonathan had not expected his own daughter to be so obsessed with that young boy.

“Where did the handcuffs come from?” Jonathan frowned as he asked Gary.

“I-It’s actually Ms. Youngblood’s toy handcuffs for playing cops and robbers, Gary replied.

“If it’s a toy handcuffs, just find someone to unlock them,” Jonathan said.

Gary smiled bitterly. “That toy is a globally limited edition, and the lock and key are custom-made as well. Even those are also limited editions. Unless the original factory sends a new set of keys, it’ll be difficult for ordinary locksmiths to unlock them.”

Jonathan’s face darkened immediately. “So it seems like Jen will still have to stay handcuffed to that boy?” he thought to himself.

“Nevertheless, I have asked someone to call the factory, and they will send the keys over as soon as possible. They should arrive in about… two days.”

While saying that, Jennifer suddenly shouted in a childlike voice, “Daddy, Mommy!”

Upon hearing the voice, Rosalie looked up and saw her daughter walking down the stairs. Following her down was the young boy named Felix, while Guillermo also followed behind them.

After the three children came downstairs, Jennifer took Felix and rushed over toward Rosalie. However, upon seeing Rosalie’s fingers covered in white bandages, she was stunned and said, “Mommy, your hands…”

“My hands… W-Well, I got a little injured. So, in the next few days, I need to stay in the hospital for a while. Jen and Guille, you both need to be good and behave, got it?”

Guillermo stared at Rosalie’s hand with a stern expression on his face. “Mommy, did your hand get seriously hurt?”

“It’s just a minor injury.” Rosalie smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, Guille. I have the best doctors treating my injury. I’ll come back in a few days, and then I can hug both of you again.”

The seriousness on Guillermo’s face finally faded a little.

Meanwhile, Jennifer heaved a huge sigh of relief. To her, with the best doctors, there would definitely be no problem. “Doctors can cure patients!” she thought to herself.

“Mommy, when can we go to see Zeki? By the way, is Zeki older or younger than me?” Jennifer asked.

Whether Zekiah was older or younger than Jennifer, Rosalie wasn’t sure of it herself either. “The kids will have to figure out on their own later on,” she mused inwardly.
