Chapter 814
Since the incident of Rosalie and her loved ones falling into the sea could never see the light, she knew that even if
the case about the kid was brought to court, the culprit would still be innocent until proven guilty. As long as Kurt
continued to deny it, it would be difficult to convict him without first locating the chain of evidence.
Things would not go anywhere unless she secured some other dirt on him.
After all, the man had been working for Leonard for ages, so his hands most probably had long been stained.
Once again, Rosalie made another trip to the detention center to see Kurt. That time around, however, she went
there solo.
Upon catching sight of her, Kurt only uttered, “No matter what you want to ask, I have no comment. Stop wasting
your breath.”
“I’m just here to say thank you,” came Rosalie’s response!
“Thank me?” Kurt seemed quite surprised.
“Thank you for saving me back then. I guess it was you who saved my life. I know it was you who caused all this,
and I hated you. Without you, Jon and I wouldn’t have been separated for five years, nor would I lose my memory,
let alone be separated from my kiddo. Regardless, you still saved both me and my child.”
As she spoke, she was also filled with complicated emotions about the man before her eyes. However, even if he
did save her and her baby, she still hated his guts.
The carrot-and-stick approach would never be in her favor.
“I might never know of your motive, but I suppose you must have some sort of reason for choosing to keep one of
the children by your side instead of entrusting the kid to the Youngblood family or even myself. That reason of
yours, I thought, must also be for the sake of the Youngblood family. After all, the Youngblood family is the most.
important thing in the world to Mr. Youngblood, and what he thinks is the most important, will be the most
important thing for you as well!”
As Rosalie presented her speech, she carefully observed Kurt’s facial expression and his reaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKurt’s eyes narrowed as the corner of his mouth slightly curled upward. “I

don’t follow.”
Instead of pressing the subject, Rosalie changed the topic altogether. “Also, I must thank you for hypnotizing and
tampering with Jon’s memory.”
Had Kurt not hypnotized Jonathan at the very beginning, the latter would not been able to live on. Even if he
managed to survive somehow, he would have suffered an emotional meltdown.
In fact, if she could, she hoped that Jonathan would never recover some parts of his lost memory, particularly the
episode where they had all fallen into the ocean.
After all, that memory was too bitter and sad.
She herself was already in great pain just listening to Carlos, let alone having Jonathan recall it.
That was especially true, for even though the operation of throwing them into the sea was carried out by Kurt
alone, it was orchestrated by Leonard, Jonathan’s blood-related dear grandfather.
After dropping those words, she departed from the detention center. Deep down, she had come to a conclusion.
Sure enough, her other child still lived. Should the kid have been dead as. Kurt insisted, he would have not averted
his gaze when she brought up the matter of her child a minute ago.
On top of that, the second she mentioned that it was all for the Youngblood family’s sake, Kurt’s lips twitched almost
imperceptibly. Paying Kurt a visit that day was only her strategy for testing the waters, observing the man’s
reaction, and arriving at a final deduction.
At long last, she had gotten the answer she needed-her child must still be alive somewhere.
It was still early after Rosalie came out of the detention center, almost two hours away before her children were
done with the kindergarten for the day. With that, Rosalie went to meet up with Amelia.
When Rosalie was about to reach Amelia’s concession stand, the former caught sight of the same black sedan from
before.
That car was still parked in the shady area in the corner like last time. From where the vehicle was stationed, the
people inside it could very well keep Amelia’s concession stand in sight.
Of course, Rosalie could tell that that had to be Warren’s car.

Warren had yet to date any woman in recent years, and he had even moved nearly half of York Group to Strico.
Rosalie reckoned that it was all for Amelia.
Sometimes, broken glass could be fixed. Then again, it would be pointless to cry over spilled milk. Had Warren not
driven Amelia to the wall back then, he might have long been together with Amelia.
Rosalie approached the concession stand, only to find Amelia tying some chain sinnets. Rosalie remembered that
she had also had fun doing that when she was a child, using different colors of ropes to weave bracelets, among
others. The activity had been quite popular among little girls. “Amelia, why are you making this?” Rosalie asked with
a smile.
“Recently, these sinnets piqued the interest of the girls in elementary school again. Since I have time to spare, I
might as well make some of these and sell them to earn some cash.” Amelia was all smiles as she beheld Rosalie.
“What brings you here?”
“I have some free time today, so I thought of coming here to catch up with you.” Rosalie then hesitated for a
fleeting moment before
continuing, “Just now, I saw Warren’s car out there. Does he come here often?”
“Really? I didn’t pay much attention to him.” Amelia sported an
indifferent mien, seeming to have nothing to do with Warren no matter how often that name was mentioned.
A sigh escaped Rosalie. “Amelia, if you don’t intend to forgive Warren, have you ever thought about finding yourself
another potential life partner? You’re still young, after all. Don’t tell me you’d rather live like this for the rest of your
life?”
Then came Amelia’s placid reply. “It’s not that I’m not forgiving Warren, Rosalie. I had already forgiven him when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe donated his liver to me back then, but that doesn’t mean that I can still love him the same. I have no feelings for
him. Similarly, I don’t have the urge to go looking for love anymore.”
“But-”
“No buts. For me, it’s already a blessing to be given the chance to watch Aiden grow up. I couldn’t have asked for
more.” Amelia grinned and added, “In the future, if I get to live long enough to see Aiden get married and have
children of his own, I’ll help him take care of his kids and spend the rest of my life in peace. That sounds pretty
good, too, don’t you

think?”
Rosalie knew that everyone had their own opinions.
In particular, given that Amelia had almost been at death’s door, she naturally had no more worldly desires for love
and romance.
Hence, Rosalie flashed a smile and dropped the topic altogether. Rather, she got all pumped up as she chatted with
Amelia about knitting bracelets for her own two kids.
While chatting, Rosalie unintentionally glimpsed a tiny figure squatting at the school gate not far from the
concession stand.
Because the school gate was closed at that hour, and there were not many people around that area, the tiny figure
only looked particularly conspicuous.
“That kid…” murmured Rosalie. “Why’s he all alone at the school gate? Where’s his family?”
Amelia glanced at the school gate and said, “That’s Zeki. He was adopted by a family nearby. His elder sister
started her elementary school this year, so he always squatted in front of the school gate waiting for her after-
school.”
“He’s Zeki?” Rosalie secretly exclaimed, looking very much surprised. As expected, that child was who she saw at
the amusement park the other day.
