The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 860

Though she was only 7 years old, she appeared more mature than her peers. Her eyes held a hint of vigilance and caution as she gazed at Rosalie.

In contrast to most children her age, she had clearly grasped the significance of self-preservation in the harsh realities of life.

“Because my own kids are around Zeki’s age. When I see Zeki injured, I can’t help but want to lend a hand. After all, taking Zeki to see a doctor is something I can easily manage,” Rosalie explained calmly, without any intention of forming a closer bond.

Karina fell silent for a moment and turned to look at Zekiah who had been by her side. She seemed to be hesitating about something.

Zekiah spoke up. “Karrie, I’m not in pain.”

“Even if you’re not in pain, you’re still injured. You’re limping when you walk, aren’t you?” Karina responded, then looked up at Rosalie. “Ms. Leighton, please wait for me. I’ll be back in a little while, and then we can go to the hospital together with Zeki.”

Following that, Karina patiently repeated some words to Zekiah before instructing him to wait for her at the entrance of the concession stand.

Zekiah held onto the hem of Karina’s clothing, unwilling to let go.

“Zeki, be good. I’ll go put down my schoolbag and come back to find you in a little while!” Karina reassured Zekiah, gently patting his head.

At this, Zekiah reluctantly released his grip.

Karina then swiftly ran in the opposite direction, soon disappearing from view. Lillian turned to Rosalie and said, “I’ll come with you to the hospital later. I have a car, so it’s pretty convenient, and I don’t have any other plans for the day.” Rosalie considered the offer and accepted, saying, “That would be great, thanks.” “Don’t mention about it. These siblings are quite interesting, and it’s unfortunate that the kid, as Amelia mentioned, is badly injured and hasn’t been to the hospital yet,” Lillian said, deliberately lowering her voice to ensure Zekiah couldn’t overhear.
