Chapter 983
“Only one month?” Hearing this, Abigail couldn’t help but be worried. The time seemed too short. She wondered if Callum could really mend things with Lillian in such a brief period.
Lillian smiled gently. “If he still has feelings for me, a month is enough. If he doesn’t, even a year wouldn’t make a difference.”
Abigail sighed. “All right, we won’t interfere in your matters with him. After a month, whether you stay or leave, we’ll be with you.”
Stephen also nodded, obviously agreeing with his wife’s words.
Lillian tightened her grip on her phone.
In a month, there would be an outcome between her and Callum.
In the meeting room of the prison, Jonathan looked at Kurt and said, “It was you who altered my memories during hypnosis, wasn’t it?”
Kurt smiled faintly. “It seems that you, Mr. Youngblood, are aware.”
“You did this unnecessary thing for my father and the Youngblood family, didn’t you?” Jonathan’s voice was icy.
“Of course,” Kurt replied, devoid of guilt.
“You’re doing this all for my father, for the Youngblood family! But it’s just your delusion. You’re only enjoying the twisted pleasure of controlling others’ lives,” Jonathan said coldly. “But it ends here. You’ll remain in this prison forever. No matter how well you behave, you’ll never get parole. And I, along with Rosalie, will live well. She will forever be the lady of the Youngblood family and my wife.” Kurt’s expression wavered slightly. He suddenly said, “Mr. Youngblood, you’re naturally suspicious. Do you truly believe in Rosalie? Do you really think that she harbors no resentment for sitting in prison for three years, all because of your indifference? Perhaps one day, she might betray you. There’s always a second and a third time, isn’t there?”
Kurt tried to plant seeds of doubt in Jonathan’s mind about Rosalie.
However, to his disappointment, Jonathan remained unmoved. The latter just stared at him coldly.
“Is this all you’ve got? If I can’t trust the woman who loves me most in this world, who else can I trust? Regardless of our future, I trust her. I will never doubt her love for me.” said Jonathan.
Only after all his memories were fully restored did he realize the depth of her love for him.
He used to think she loved their children more, but now he understood that she had once given up hope for herself and their children, all for him.

He was the one whom she sacrificed everything to save.
“How could I not believe such a woman?” he thought.
“I won’t come to see you here anymore.” Jonathan stood up. “But in prison, you might see the news. Then, perhaps you’ll understand that having weaknesses isn’t always a bad thing. It’s what makes us truly human.”
It was Rosalie who had finally taught him the meaning of life.
His weakness was her, and she was his purpose for the rest of his life.
Leaving the cold meeting room, Jonathan walked out. The calmness on Kurt’s face finally changed at this moment.
“Being human… is about having weaknesses. How can it not be a bad thing? How is that possible? Everything I’ve done was for the Youngblood family, for Mr. Youngblood,” Kurt muttered nervously, but Jonathan would neither hear nor care.
Outside the prison, a black car awaited Jonathan. Carlos opened the door respectfully.
“Let’s go back,” Jonathan ordered.
The car headed toward the Youngblood residence. As they drove, Carlos spoke. “Mr. Youngblood, someone is investigating Yvette’s case recently.”
Jonathan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who’s investigating Yvette?” Yvette was already dead, and even the Hamilton family didn’t want to delve into her past. Yet, someone dared to investigate her in secret.
“It’s the Serton family from Lommore,” Carlos replied.
Jonathan slowly uttered a sentence, “The Serton family? Wyatt Serton?”
“If things go as expected, it should be Wyatt. The Serton family should know about the grudge between Yvette and the Youngblood family. Still, they dare to secretly investigate Yvette’s affairs, so there must be a reason. And without Wyatt’s consent, other members of the Serton family wouldn’t dare to do this.”
After a thoughtful pause, Jonathan inquired, “Why does the Serton family want to investigate Yvette?”
“At the moment, it’s unclear. But their primary focus seems to be on Yvette’s experiences over the last five years, and it appears they’re also looking into whether Yvette has given birth to a child,” Carlos explained.
“In that case, keep a close watch and find out what exactly the Serton family is after,” Jonathan ordered.
Carlos nodded in agreement.
The car returned to the Youngblood residence, and Jonathan stepped out of the vehicle, learning from Gary that Rosalie and the children were in the backyard. Jonathan walked to the backyard, where he found Rosalie playing with hair ties, an old-fashioned game, with the three children.

It was a rare sight nowadays, as few people played with hair ties anymore.
Felix and Guillermo stood on either side, with hair ties wrapped around their calves, obediently acting as anchors. Jennifer stood on the other side of the hair ties. Rosalie demonstrated how to play.
Her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and she wore a light blue tracksuit. The ropes were plain, but under her feet, they formed intricate patterns. She moved like a graceful butterfly, captivating Jonathan’s gaze.
The three children stared in awe, especially Jennifer, who clapped enthusiastically and appeared eager to join in. If Rosalie was not still playing, the little one might have rushed in to join the fun.
When Rosalie finished her demonstration, she noticed that Jonathan had quietly arrived. She couldn’t help but ask, “When did you come back?”
“Just a moment ago.” Jonathan smiled slightly. “I never knew you were so good at playing with hair ties.”
“It’s not that good; it’s been years since I last played. I almost forgot how to do it,” Rosalie replied. When she lived in the small town as a child, there wasn’t much entertainment, so the girls often gathered to play with hair ties during breaks or after school.
