The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 861

Chapter 861 

Then, Rosalie headed to collect the medicine with the rest. 

There were a few ointments and a bottle of spray to relieve pain and bruise. 

Rosalie handed the medicines over to the little girl. “Here, these are the medicines. for Zeki. It’s stated on the boxes the number of times they have to be applied. Do you know how to read these words?” 

“Yes!” answered Karina. 

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you to remember to apply them for Zeki daily,” Rosalie said. 

“That’s no trouble. Zeki is my brother!” Karina put those medicines into her small shoulder bag, then pulled out some wrinkly banknotes and coins of different denominations. 

“This is 18 dollars and 60 cents. I know that this isn’t enough for today’s medical expenses. I’ll return you the rest next time after I save enough of it!” Karina spoke like an adult. 

Obviously, the money was her meager savings. And today, she took out all of it. At the sight of the wrinkly notes and coins, Rosalie could not help but chuckle. “There’s no need. I’ll pay for Zeki’s medical consultation today. You don’t have to pay anything.” 

“No. We aren’t related; we can’t use your money. Besides, I have money. I can pay for Zeki’s medical expenses!” Karina grew a little embarrassed. “Uh… I’ll definitely make up for the rest.” 

“Silly child, why are you insisting on paying?” said Lillian, standing aside. “What if the medical expenses cost 200 dollars? Will you insist on paying, too?” 

Karina firmly replied, “Yes!” 

Lillian was surprised at how a seven–year–old girl would reply so firmly, just like an adult would. 

“Do you have 200 dollars?” Lillian asked. 

Karina shook her head. “No, but I can save up for it. I have pocket money every month. I can save money by not eating snacks and buying toys! Zeki is my brother. As his sister, I should be responsible for his medical expenses!” 

That innocent young girl seemed so much more responsible than many adults at that instant. 

Gazing at Karina, Zekiah said, “Karrie, I won’t see a doctor ever again.” 

“You have to see a doctor when you’re sick, Karina said with a straight face. “I have money. I told you that Mommy has left assets for me. When I turn 18, it’ll be mine. By then, I’ll be able to provide for you!”

Noticing how earnest the girl was while saying those words, Rosalie felt her nose. sting. 

“If my brother is still alive, perhaps when Mom passed away, I’d be like Karina, wouldn’t I?” Rosalie thought. 

Blinking his beautiful eyes, Zekiah responded, “Mhm. Karrie will provide for me.” 

His calm voice carried a trace of coyness and trust, and that was only so while he was talking to Karina. 

Again, Karina wanted to pass the money to Rosalie. And this time, Rosalie accepted it. “Okay, I’ll take the money. You can return the rest when you save enough. Now, let’s send us guys home.” 

Subsequently, Lillian drove Rosalie and the two kids to the Burton residence. Upon arriving at the Burton residence, they sent the two kids to the doorstep, and as soon as Jeanette opened the door to that sight, she immediately shouted at Karina, “You little brat! Where did you go again? If you really don’t want to stay in this house, hurry and bring this liability and get out of here!” 

“I left a note saying I’m bringing Zeki to the hospital!” Karina countered confidently. 

“A note? Hmph! Go to the hospital? You two probably ran out to play, didn’t you? Did you damage other people’s property and need to pay them back? Listen, all the money in this household belongs to your dad and me. It has nothing to do with that short–lived mother of yours!” chided Jeanette, thinking that Rosalie and Lillian were here to ask for compensation after the kids caused trouble. 

“You’re not allowed to say that of my mommy!” As if an angry lion cub, Karina glared at Jeanette. 

“So what if I do? You still have to rely on your dad and me to support you! I’m warning you, you better behave yourself… 

“How could you speak in such a manner?” Lillian could not help but interrupt the conversation. “You must be the stepmother of these two kids, huh? Even if they aren’t your own, you’re still considered their mother, at the very least. How can you say that to your children? Besides, you even beat your child up to this state. Do 

you have 

any idea how many injuries are there on Zeki?” 

Jeanette furiously retorted, “As you said, I’m their mother. It’s my business how I educate my children. What has that got to do with you?”
