The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1263

Aiden often went through Matilda’s phone to look at his sister’s pictures. He would then talk like an

adult, promising to protect and take care of his sister in the future.

Upon hearing the news of Amelia giving birth, Lillian rushed to the hospital with her husband, beaming

with joy: “Thank goodness, you’ve safely given birth again! I’m going to be a godmother once more.

Our ‘kindergarten’ will have even more kids in the future!”

Hearing Lillian’s words, Amelia couldn’t help but smile. Her only regret was that Warren wasn’t here.

From Rosalie, she knew that Warren had left Strico and returned to Lofbury. Perhaps it was just their

fate to have an end like this.

On the other hand, Riley, upon learning that Amelia had safely given birth and passed the critical

period, made a video call to congratulate her.

“Congratulations on having another daughter,” Riley said.

“Thank you. Whenever you come to Strico or when I go to Lommore, I’ll introduce you to my two

children,” Amelia said.

“Sure, I envy you, having a son and a daughter. If I had…” Riley’s voice trailed off, and she didn’t

continue.

The child she had lost shortly after birth was a deep pain in her heart. Over the years, she dared not

think about it too much.

“Riley, after the matters with the Summer family are resolved, you can also seek your happiness. I

believe you’ll have your own child someday,” Amelia said.

Riley smiled faintly. “I haven’t thought about that. I already found my happiness back then, but I didn’t

realize it until Nicholas passed away. It turns out he loved me so much. If I had chosen him back then, I

would have been truly happy.”

It was just a wrong choice, but it had ruined her chance at lifelong happiness.

Perhaps she would never find happiness again in the future, but she was determined to seek justice for

herself and find the truth for Nicholas.

Hearing this, Amelia didn’t want to stir up painful memories for Riley. So

she changed the topic. “How is the Summer family’s case progressing?”

“The trial will begin in half a month. All preparations are in place,” Riley said. “Rosalie’s lawyer friend in

Lommore is also helping me with this. The current evidence is enough to convict all three of them!”

“You’ve waited so long for this day,” Amelia said, thinking about the suffering her friend had endured in

the psychiatric hospital. She couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for her.

She could not imagine how much willpower one must possess not to be driven insane in such an

environment

“Yeah, the day has finally come.” Riley sighed. For this day, she would give it her all.

After ending the call, Riley picked up the files nearby. It was the investigation report on the accident

staff, among other things.

years ago. It included detailed data about the can family from

All this information was probably more complete than what the police had.

However, when Riley’s eyes fell on one of the photos in the stack, her beautiful eyes suddenly

narrowed, as if she had remembered something.

Meanwhile, Harriet, who was in the detention center, finally got to see Zephyr.

She had been waiting for almost a month, and he finally came to see her.

“You finally decided to see me? I thought my husband planned to leave me here to fend for myself,”

Harriet said with a sneer.

“Hendrick is ill and needs a full-body blood transfusion. We’ve already used the same blood type from

the blood bank for a complete blood exchange, but the effect was not ideal. The doctor said it would be

best if the biological parents could provide the blood,” Zephyr said, weariness evident in his features.

Hendrick suddenly fell ill, and he had type B blood, while Zephyr had type A. The latter’s blood couldn’t

be used for the transfusion. The only possibility was Harriet.

However, Harriet’s reply was, “What? You only came to me now because

09:00

you need my blood? If it’s not about this, do you just plan to never appear before me?”

Zephyr didn’t answer. He simply stared at her indifferently.

Harriet suddenly snickered. “Zephyr, you really are quite something. Now that you need me, you won’t

even spin a lie for me?”

“You are Hendrick’s mother,” he just said it coldly.

It was as if he was reminding her of her role as a mother, telling her that she must donate blood for the

complete transfusion that Hendrick needed.

If Hendrick were really her child, she would naturally save him.

Nonetheless, Hendrick was clearly Riley’s child. Now, Harriet was trapped in the detention center, all

because of Riley. There was no way she would willingly provide her blood to save Riley’s child.

“I will submit a temporary bail request so you can go to the hospital to donate blood for Hendrick. His

condition can’t afford any delays. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes for him,” Zephyr

said. He stood up, preparing to leave.

It was as if his previous words were just a casual heads-up. He didn’t need Harriet to make the

decision.

“You can use my blood for Hendrick, but if I’m not released, I will never donate,” Harriet suddenly

declared.

Zephyr paused, looking at Harriet in disbelief. “Are you trying to kill him?”

“Aren’t you the one who’s trying to kill me?” Harriet said mockingly. “Zephyr, you conveniently washed

your hands off the Summer family’s affairs and refused to help. Have you ever thought about what fate

awaits me at the end of this?”

“You are Hendrick’s mother!” he reminded her once again.

“But you are my husband, aren’t you? If the child blames someone in the future, it will be you. You

neglected me first, so you don’t have the right to say that I neglect the child!” Harriet said fiercely.

Seeing Zephyr’s increasingly unpleasant expression, she suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction after her

retaliation.

Zephyr didn’t care about her, but he cared about his only son.

However, little did Zephyr know that the child he was desperately trying to save was the very son Riley

had given birth to. Now, this child was seriously ill, and it seemed that, for the sake of this child, Zephyr

would go to any lengths to get Harriet out of her predicament.

Perhaps even Riley herself hadn’t realized that the key to Harriet’s release now lay in the child she had

borne.

As the night wind was biting, Riley emerged from the Griffin residence, having acquired the information

she sought. In her heart, conclusions were forming.
