Chapter 911


    “Fully recovering may probably take half a year to one year. Yet, it should be fine to carry some


    lightweight things after a week. Then, after one month, there should be no problem in doing simple


    typing and writing,” Rosalie said.


    “That’s good.” Lillian heaved a sigh of relief.


    After saying goodbye to Amelia, Rosalie headed to the Burton residence.


    Lillian, who sat in the concession stand, told Amelia, “s, Rosalie hurried to see her son right after


    she was discharged from the hospital. But Zeki’s attitude toward her…”


    “The kid is still so young, and Rosalie is like a stranger to him. It’ll get better after some time. He’s


    so clingy to his so-called sister. It shows that he’ll ept those who sincerely treat him well,” Amelia


    commented.

    “I hope so,” Lillian said.


    After the duo chatted for a while, Aiden came back. When he saw Lillian, he greeted her politely.


    “Why are your clothes so dirty? Did you fall?” Amelia asked.


    “I identally fell,” Aiden replied.


    “Even the pants are torn.” Lillian saw a hole caused by friction in the knee part of Aiden’s pants,


    which she thought was caused by his fall.


    “Go and change your pants. I’ll fix it for you,” Amelia instructed.


    Aiden hummed in response and went to the room to change his pants.


    Looking at Aiden’s diminutive figure, Lillian furrowed her brows slightly. Then, she took a nce at


    Amelia. Seeing that Amelia was busy with her business at the concession stand, Lillian walked into


    the room, too.


    Aiden was about to take off his pants when he saw Lillian. His tiny face was reddened in an instant.


    “Did you fight?” Lillian questioned without waiting for him to speak.


    Aiden’s expression stiffened when she said that.


    “Don’t lie. When I was young, I got into a fight so often that it worried my parents so much. You’ve


    always been a cautious person. If you really fall, it won’t be as serious as this. There are many


    signs of friction over here, here, and here.” Lillian directly pointed to several spots on Aiden’s shirt.


    Then, she grabbed Aiden’s trousers and rolled them up. There were some bruises on his lower leg.


    “What exactly happened?” Lillian questioned. She knew Aiden was not a child who would want to


    cause trouble. On the contrary, it could be said that Aiden was a quiet child. He would not cause


    any trouble for no reason. “Did someone bully you at school?” Lillian continued.


    Aiden’s body trembled slightly. Sure enough, what Lillian had said was right.


    “Why did they bully you?” Lillian probed.


    Aiden hesitated momentarily before saying, “Because I’m wearing hearing aids. They said disabled


    people should attend special needs schools instead of studying here. They also said Mommy must


    have done something bad. That’s why she gave birth to a disabled child like me.”


    Hearing this, Lillian’s nose began to tingle. As she straightened up her back, she uttered. “Who said


    that? I’ll go and look for their parents!”


    “Lillian!” Aiden quickly grabbed hold of Lillian and added, “D-Don’t go to look for their parents. I don’t


    want Mommy to know about this.”


    Aiden knew that what Amelia cared about the most was his inaudibility. Silently, Aiden remarked,


    “Mommy’s eyes always glint with guilt whenever she looks at my hearing aid. Mommy keeps saying


    I’m deaf because she took cold medicine during pregnancy. But I don’t me Mommy at all.


    Mommy is the best! I don’t want Mommy to be upset and sad.”


    In actuality, if those people had not mentioned Amelia that day, Aiden would not have fought with


    them. Looking at Aiden’s nervous expression, Lillian could not help but sigh. “Okay. I won’t tell your


    mommy. But you’ve got to call me and let me know if they say this to you again. I can go and


    communicate with

    your teacher. We’ll see how we can stop them from doing so.”


    “Thank you, Lillian!” Aiden responded obediently.


    Lillian caressed Aiden’s head, thinking, “Sometimes, this child is so sensible that it makes my heart


    ache for him. He’s only nine years old. Compared to his peers, he has already endured so many


    more hardships.”


    At that moment, the duo did not notice Amelia, who leaned against the wall at the doorway. There


    were tears in her eyes.


    In actuality, it did cross Amelia’s mind that Aiden would be discriminated against on his hearing.


    However, since he had never told her, Amelia had always assumed that Aiden’s ssmates did not


    discriminate against him.


    Amelia thought Aiden could be like the other ordinary children, growing up healthily and happy in


    school while gaining knowledge.


    Nevertheless, now it seemed that it was just her wishful thinking.


    Inwardly, Amelia remarked, “Originally, he should have been a healthy child. He shouldn’t be


    discriminated against at all. It was me who had harmed him. It was me…”


    At that moment, Amelia only felt that her heart was throbbing painfully.


    Meanwhile, Rosalie and Jonathan had arrived at the Burton residence. Wayne and Jete wished


    so badly that they could announce the duo’s arrival to everyone in the neighborhood.


    However, under Jonathan’s cold gaze, Wayne and Jete naturally dared not to do anything.


    As for Rosalie, she found out that the Burton family had already cleaned up Zekiah’s room.


    However, Karina told Rosalie that Zekiah would go to her room to sleep with her instead of sleeping


    in his room.


    “I like sleeping with Karrie,” Zekiah echoed.


    When Rosalie was about to leave the Burton residence, Karina could not help asking, “Ms.


    Leighton, can Zeki still be my brother after this?”


    Karina knew that one day, Zekiah would return to the Youngblood family. Her biggest fear was that


    she would no longer have a connection with Zekiah after he left the Burton residence.


    “Now, Zekiah’s surname is still Burton. He is my brother. We’re still siblings. There is still a


    connection between us,” Karina mused.


    “Of course,” Rosalie stated as she nced at Wayne and Jete, who were nearby, trying their


    best to keep up


    their image as good parents. Then, Rosalie averted her gaze to look at Karina. “Karina, have you


    considered my suggestion? Come along with Zeki to live in the Youngblood residence. The


    Youngblood family will bear all your living expenses and tuition fees. You don’t have to worry about


    anything.” Karina hesitated for a while before shaking her head. “I… Daddy is still here, and this


    house was left to me by my mommy. I don’t want to leave here.”


    To Karina, the house contained memories of her and her mother.”


    Looking at Karina’s current expression made Rosalie think of herself. “Okay, then. Just give me a


    call if you face any difficulties.”


    “Thank you, Ms. Leighton,” answered Karina.


    Upon returning to the Youngblood/Residence, the two little ones had already corne home from


    kindergarten. When they saw Rosalie, Jennifer naturally dashed forward to give Rosalie kisses and


    hugs. After saying that she missed Rosalie so much, Jennifer thoughtfully asked, “Mommy, does


    your hand still hurt? It won’t hurt after I blow on it.”


    With that said, Jennifer leaned closer and blew at Rosalie’s hand. To Rosalie, it was so


    heartwarming.
