The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 557

“I think… my body is a little weak,” Jonathan said as he tried to take the bowl again.

When Rosalie saw his current state, she said, “Never mind, I’ll just feed you. If your hands turn weak later, you might drop the bowl again.”

As she spoke, she sat on the chair next to the bed. Then, she scooped up some oatmeal with a spoon. She blew on it to cool it down and then held it to his lips.

He obediently opened his mouth and ate the oatmeal she fed to him.

At that moment, he was like a tame puppy, taking mouthfuls of oatmeal one after another. But his eyes were staring at her with a burning gaze.

She felt a little uncomfortable because of the longing gaze

in his eyes.

“The… woman you mentioned last time. Did she truly end someone’s life in the Room Where Blood Spills?” She tried to find something to talk about so that she could break the silence.

“Yes, it’s true,” Jonathan replied.

“She killed someone from the Youngblood family, didn’t she? And they let her go just like that?” she asked, a little puzzled. The Youngblood family should have been quite rich already back then, even though the incident happened more than 70

years ago.

“Because the man she killed wanted to have mercy on her. He even wrote a last note before he died, that no one should be blamed for his death!” Jonathan said.

Rosalie was stunned. She wondered if that man of the Youngblood family had already expected this woman to come, after his life. That must be why he left a note like that.

But it was quite a chaotic era, so the law was not as strict as it was in current times. If the Youngblood family chose not to pursue this matter, that woman could indeed escape imprisonment.
