Since he didn’t feel pain, what difference did it make if the wound healed quickly
or slowly?
“Even if it doesn’t hurt, not treating an injury properly may affect your overall health in the future. For
instance, your leg only has a superficial wound this time, but if you hurt your bones and didn’t treat it
because it doesn’t hurt, you might end up walking with a permanent limp.” Rosalie tried to exin using
simple
words.
Zekiah remained silent, seemingly pondering her words.
Rosalie continued, “Would you like to go to a different home to live with me and Mr. Youngblood? That
way, nobody will ever hurt you like this again, and you won’t have to suffer these injuries.”
The young boy’s face suddenly took on a guarded look. His gaze directed at Rosalie changed. He
looked fierce, like a small beast ready to pounce at any
moment.
At that moment, Rosalie felt as if the boy was looking at her as an enemy, and her heart ached.
Jonathan took a step forward, standing between the boy and Rosalie, as a precaution against any
potential aggressive actions.
“We don’t want to separate you from your sister. We just want to give you a better life,” Jonathan stated
firmly.
“I won’t leave Karrie!” the boy stubbornly replied, shouting at Jonathan like a small animal warning a
muchrger beast.
Jonathan stared at the boy’s face, his eyes narrowing as if he were examining the child more closely.
Just then, school ended, and students starteding out. When the boy Karina, he immediately ran to
her and hugged her tightly.

“I will never leave you,” he said, his expression resolute.
Karina, with her backpack, asked curiously, “Who wants to separate us?”
Zekiah’s eyes turned to Rosalie. At once, Karina ran over to Rosalie. “I thought you were a good
person, but you want to separate me and Zeki. Let me tell you, we won’t be separated. I’ll work hard
and save money to pay you back for the medical bills”
“You can pay me back for the medical bills whenever you can. I don’t want to separate you and your
brother. I just wanted to adopt your brother to give him better life. Rosalie exined.
“No need. I will take care of Zeki Karina insisted, holding Zekiah tightly. “I will take good care of him.
He’s my brother, and he belongs in our family. He won’t

leave us!”
She turned to Zekiah, asking, “Zeki, am I right?”
“Yes, I only want Karrie to take care of me, Zekiah said firmly.
With the two siblings hugging each other tightly, Rosalie seemed like the viin, and students and
parents in the vicinity were staring.
“It seems this child is not willing, and his sister won’t agree either. Let’s go back,” Jonathan said.
Rosalie sighed and nodded. Before leaving, she told the siblings, “If you ever need. help, you can call
me at this number. I won’t bring up the adoption again since you’re not willing”
With that, Rosalie handed a piece of paper with her phone number to Karina. After hesitating for a
moment, Karina finally epted it.
Before they left, Jonathan nced at the boy again, seemingly contemting something.
Back in the car, Jonathan remained silent, his head bowed. Rosalie finally asked, “What are you
thinking?” Only then did he suddenlye back to his senses and smile slightly. “Nothing. Let’s head
back to the Youngblood residence.”
Later that night, a figure arrived at the memorial hall. Jonathan entered the hall and looked at the ck
and white photograph of his father hanging above.
In the photo, his father had a warm and gentle smile. His deep eyes were filled with a soft radiance, like
the warmth of sunlight.
If he were to ignore the radiance in those eyes and just look at the shape of the eyes, they bore a
certain resemnce to the boy he had met today, named Zekiah. When he had first seen the child at
the amusement park, he had only given him a cursory nce and hadn’t observed him closely.
Even though Rosalie had shared some information about the child, it was only today that he had a
proper look at the child’s face.
Initially, he hadn’t thought much of it, but as time passed, he realized the child’s eyes bore a
resemnce to his father’s.
However, the gleam in those eyes was different!
He slowly walked into the inner chamber, where a picture of a woman was ced beside his father’s
tablet. It was the woman who had left him and his father.
The woman’s features had been etched into his mind for many years.
Now, as he looked at the photo of the woman, he couldn’t help but notice the resemnce between her
and Zekial. The child’s lips, forehead… They looked alikel
Even the curve of the earlobes was simr!
He wondered. “Is that possible? Could it be as I suspect? Is this child an orphan,
adopted by the Burton family? The notion of the child being an orphan seems to fit. If this child is truly
connected to my family, why did Mr. Wilmer give the child to the Burton family? Or was it a mere
coincidence? Did the Burton family desire a child and formally adopt one? How did the child find his
way into an orphanage after leaving Mr. Wilmer’s care?”
At that moment, numerous questions filled his mind, but there was no one to provide the answers.
Jonathan’s lips were pursed. After a moment, he took out his phone to dial a number. “Investigate a
five–year–old boy named Zekiah Burton. I need all the information on his background and the family
that adopted him. Additionally, find an excuse to collect a blood sample from the child.”
Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to thoroughly investigate whether his suspicions were
correct.
As Jonathan gave these instructions and put his phone away, footsteps approached. He looked up and
saw Rosalieing toward him.
“Why are you here?” Rosalie asked. She had put the two children to bed and only found out he was at
the memorial hall through the housekeeper.
She knew he didn’t likeing here unless it was All Souls‘ Day, Thanksgiving, or his father’s death
anniversary. Usually, he would onlye when he was in a bad mood.
Today wasn’t any special day, so Rosalie guessed that he was in a bad mood.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
