Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 433

“Mommy, I…”

Hiram stammered under my inquisition. He had just thrown a tantrum at me, but in front of Karina, he was a different boy, his eyes filled with anxiety. Karina looked down at Hiram. “Tell me, how did you get that bruise on your face? And how did you end up here?”

Hiram’s little face turned red under the questioning, making his bruise more conspicuous. It had been treated once before, so Neil didn’t give me any other medicine to apply to it.

His anxiety made him sweat, which irritated his wound and caused him to whine. “Mommy, my bruise hurts so much, wah wah…”

Upon hearing Hiram’s cries, Karina’s emotions became even more unstable. She glared at me, “Ms. Finch, you should be aware of Hiram’s status. How dare you kidnap him and let him get injured? Do you have any idea of the consequences?”

I was speechless and out of patience. Just as I was about to retort, Ryan and Faith rushed into the yard.

I was surprised. Weren’t they supposed to be in Springvale for some urgent matter?

“Oh dear, Hiram!” Faith exclaimed and rushed to hug the boy tightly.

“Grandma, Grandpa!” Upon seeing Ryan and Faith, Hiram’s mood brightened.

Ryan picked up Hiram and both of them fussed over the boy’s bruise, expressing their concern and regret. “How did you get hurt so badly? Does it hurt? Did you put any ointment on it?”

Hiram clung to Ryan’s neck, looking pitiful.
