Chapter 532
The doctors immediately treated the kid’s wound, applied medication, and bandaged him up. They told the family that the burn to the kid’s eye was pretty bad and that it might leave a scar once it was healed
Upon hearing that her baby might be scared, Patricia’s tears started to spill out, “My poor baby, he’s too young to be hurt! Theo, what are we gonna do?”
Theo tried to keep his cool and comfort her, “The doc just said it might happen; it’s not set in stone.”
But Patricia kept sobbing
Theo got a bit impatient and said in a low voice, “He’s a boy; a scar on his face is no big deal, as long as he’s not hurt anywhere else.
Patroia pulled herself together a bit upon feeling Theo’s imitation,
She wiped her tears and said with a sigh. “Theo, you’re right. He’s a boy; a scar won’t ruin his future. Tjust think it’s unfair to him, he shouldn’t have to go through
this.”
Theo didn’t say anything more and went into the ER to check on the kid.
Right now, the one who needed comfort more than the crying Patricia was the injured kid who didn’t understand what was happening.
Seeing Theo going to check on the kid, Patricia followed him Baber’s left eye was tightly bandaged, he had stopped crying, but he looked a bit dazed, like he had cried himself silly.
Patricia got emotional again after seeing her son in such a pitiful state. She turned her head and glared at Ellinor at the door, completely different from her usual gentle demeanor, and shouted at her
“Ellinor, why? Why would you hurt my son? I could take whatever you do to me, but you hurt my son, he’s just a baby! How could you be so heartless?”
Patricia grabbed Ellinor’s clothes and demanded an answer
Seeing this, Bartlett immediately stepped in to protect Ellinor, “Patricia, calm down. I understand how you feel, but I believe Ellinor has nothing to do with this.”
But Patricia wouldn’t let go of Ellinor and she tearfully said to Bartlett, “Bartlett, how could she not be involved?! I saw her grab the soup pot and pour it on my son’s facel There’s no reason I would falsely accuse her!”

Bartlett wanted to protect Ellinor, but he didn’t want to use force on Patricia. He was caught in the middle, not knowing what to do.
However, it was Ellinor who pushed Bartlett away and faced Patricia, “Ms. Howard, do you really care if your son’s face will be scarred?”
Taken aback by the question, Patricia got imitated, “Ellinor, what are you talking about? I’m his mother, of course I care about my son!”
“Really? It seems to me that my potential fate is more important to you than your son’s injury. You are clinging to me here and it seems like you don’t really care about your son’s condition”
“Theo is taking care of my son; I trust him! i just need to get justice for what happened to my son as his mother!”
Ellinor looked at her with confusion, “Ms. Howard, your current state seems quite different from your usual gentle and quiet image!”
Feeling uneasy. Patricia was too eager to deal with Ellinor and got a bit too hasty. This is the power of motherly love! Any mother in this situation wouldn’t be calm and gentle! I’ll fight whoever hurts my son!”
Ellinor sneered, “Then you should feel guilty! It seems to me you’ve hurt your son the most!”
Enraged, Patricia glared at her, “Ellinor, why are you still so unrepentant? Why are you so crue!? Why did you hurt my son?”
As she spoke, she shook Ellinor as if she had lost her mind.
Feeling annoyed, Ellinor pushed Patricia away. She felt that Patricia was just being impotently angry.
