Chapter 1879
Hearing Ellinor say she wouldn’t mind his dirtiness eased Baber’s heart.
In fact, he himself felt a bit disgusted with his dirty state.
As if remembering something, Ellinor asked again, “When Mom found you, you weren’t breathing. Were you pretending then too?”
Pouting, Baber honestly nodded, “At first, yes. Before you came, that woman kept hitting and kicking me. I held my breath, hoping she’d think I was dead and leave me. Then I could find you myself! But when I heard your voice, I didn’t dare to believe it. I thought it was a hallucination, so I didn’t open my
eyes.
Ellinor felt relieved and smiled, “You did well, Baber. To think of that at your age is quite remarkable! Mom is proud of you!”
If Baber had not intentionally soiled himself, leaving such a distinctive scent, the police dogs might not have found him so quickly and accurately.
Such a clever and adorable child, yet Patricia, that wicked woman, dared to treat him so cruelly, venting her own dissatisfaction on a kid!
She was simply unfit to be a human!
Meanwhile, in the corridor, Theo answered a call from his subordinate, which informing that Patricia was caught!
Theo returned to the room and told Ellinor that he was stepping out to get her some food and would be back soon. He then stationed guard at his son’s room to protect his wife and child, preparing to confront Patricia himself.
As he briskly walked to the elevator, Balfour appeared in front of him, his eyes filled with deep melancholy. “Did they catch her?”
Theo slightly nodded, “Yes.”
“I want to go with you to see her,” Balfour said.
Theo looked at Balfour, “Even now, you still want to protect your little sister?”
Balfour sighed, “No, I just want to ask her why she’s ended up like this.”
With a cold stare, Theo neither agreed nor disagreed, and stepped into the elevator.
Balfour followed him, his thoughts a whirlwind.
Seeing his father’s worsening condition, Byran couldn’t bear it anymore and suggested, “Dad, with my brother gone, you should go home. My sister is now with her son in the children’s ward, and she probably won’t be coming back. Tomorrow, I’ll bring you here to see her.”
McNeil looked at his younger son, then at the empty bed where his daughter had been.
Ellinor probably really wouldn’t be coming back for now!
Well, her absence meant she was not seriously ill, which was good. He decided to follow Byran’s advice and visit her tomorrow.
With that, McNeil nodded, accepting Byran’s help to stand up. “Alright, let’s go!”
