Chapter 318 - 324 Zuri Ginger Breakdown (10)
Rowanda Peterson remained motionless, looking at Zuri Ginger, his expression beyond difficulty.
He felt like a joke himself.
Just now Young Master Jackson’s words "Are you sure the child is yours?" felt more like a thorn, completely swaying his judgment.
Back then he—
Why did he fall for such a vicious girl?
And have relations with her?
Thinking about it made him sick.
Rowanda Peterson looked at her, his gaze quickly changing.
"Rowanda!" Zuri Ginger was genuinely frightened by his eyes and hurriedly defended herself, "Don’t listen to their nonsense, it’s not like that, really, it’s not what it seems. The child is yours, I haven’t had relations with anyone else. Not, not, I mean to say, aside from Edward Davis, I’ve only been with you afterward. The child is truly yours, you have to believe me."
"You want to avoid prison, so you insist on having this child, is that it?" Rowanda Peterson suddenly asked.
"..." Zuri Ginger was taken aback, shaking her head while crying, "No, no, it’s not."
"To avoid prison, even giving birth to a potentially unhealthy child doesn’t matter, right?"
"It’s not." Zuri Ginger cried like rain.
"What am I? What is the child?" Rowanda Peterson raged, "Are you using us as tools? Do you have any humanity left!"
"Rowanda, Rowanda..." Zuri Ginger lunged forward, attempting to grab him, "Believe me, please believe me? I was framed, he..."
She pointed at Koa Jackson, trembling, "It’s him, he’s helping Mia Ginger to harm me! It’s honestly not me, I did nothing wrong, you have to believe me, the child is yours, it’s yours!"
Rowanda Peterson forcibly pulled her hand away, coldly said, "Too late. Whatever you say is too late. If you insist on having the child, then go ahead, give birth and do a paternity test. If the child is mine, Rowanda Peterson’s, I’ll naturally raise him."
Did he mean he wouldn’t have her anymore?
Zuri Ginger stared wide-eyed at him, Rowanda Peterson was overwhelmed with annoyance and turned towards the door.
Leaving in such a hurry, he directly bumped into someone just arriving at the doorway.
Mason Sutton reached out to rub his nose, took a step back, and smiled, "Be careful."
"Sorry."
Rowanda Peterson’s face was ashen, just about to leave, the nearby Aiden Jiang suddenly called out to him, asking, "Are you... Rowanda Peterson?"
He glanced at him, "Yes."
Aiden Jiang’s expression turned unpleasant, "Are you rushing off?"
"Yes." Rowanda Peterson quickly recognized his identity and straightforwardly said, "I’m aware of Zuri Ginger’s situation. I’m aware of the child too. I admit, we were involved for a period before, but..."
He paused for a second, exhaled deeply, and said, "Your daughter, you know her well, she’s full of lies, not a word of truth, honestly, I don’t know how to trust her. If she insists on having the child, do a paternity test once it’s born, whether it’s healthy or not, I’ll raise it, simple as that!"
After Rowanda Peterson finished speaking, he turned and left.
From the hospital room, Zuri Ginger’s screams of despair suddenly sounded.
Aiden Jiang turned his head to glance at Rowanda Peterson’s back, his face green with anger.
He looked at Mason Sutton beside him and said helplessly, "It’s all embarrassing. Sorry to make you witness this."
"Don’t worry." Mason Sutton tactfully comforted him.
"Mm."
Aiden Jiang nodded, and the two entered the room.
Facing Koa Jackson and Mia Ginger.
Mia Ginger turned her head to see them, and greeted, "Dad, Brother Sutton."
"How do you feel, is there anything uncomfortable?" Aiden Jiang’s gaze landed on her, concerned.
"I’m fine."
"Mm." Aiden Jiang nodded, lifting his gaze to glance at Koa Jackson.
"Uncle Ginger."
"Thank you for your hard work." Aiden Jiang smiled slightly, lowered his head briefly thinking, and invited, "Shall we go outside? We need to talk about this further."
Koa Jackson nodded.
The two stepped outside.
Mia Ginger naturally knew they were going to discuss Zuri Ginger’s issues—Aiden Jiang didn’t want her to hear, so she didn’t follow closely, not wanting to stay in the hospital room, she simply turned and headed outside.
Leaning on the railing, looking down.
Mason Sutton arrived beside her, frowned, "Why do you not even mind the dirt?"
"Huh?!" Mia Ginger was taken aback for a moment, hurriedly moved away from the railing, and looked down to see dust on her sleeves.
Mason Sutton handed her a small handkerchief, and as she bent down to wipe it, his gaze just happened to fall on her delicate, fair neck.
The area lower than the ear still had a bit of injury, like it had been scraped by something.
His brow furrowed, asked, "Below the ear is injured, why not apply some medicine?"
"It’s nothing." Mia Ginger was wary of Koa Jackson seeing it, usually covering it with her hair; now that he noticed, she instinctively touched it, smiled lightly and said, "Just a small injury, it’ll heal by itself in a couple of days."
"Girls should take more care of themselves, shouldn’t they?" Mason Sutton said helplessly, "Even small injuries need attention, applying some antiseptic will surely help it heal faster."
"Yes, yes, keep your voice down, don’t let Brother Jackson hear."
Mia Ginger glanced at him; seeing Koa Jackson and Aiden Jiang finishing their conversation, she quickly reached to gather her hair.
Standing up straight, the scar was covered by her hair.
This girl!
Mason Sutton looked at her with mild exasperation.
Mia Ginger scrunched her nose, giving him a pleading look.
Mason Sutton knowingly nodded, indicating he understood.
Aiden Jiang and Koa Jackson simultaneously witnessed this scene, their expressions froze for a moment, pondering.
Soon—
Seeing Koa Jackson and Mia Ginger leave together.
Aiden Jiang thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Little Sutton, what do you think of my Mia?"
