Chapter 713
Knock Knock!
There were suddenly two knocks on the door, followed by Quinton’s voice.
“Mr. Howard, it’s me.”
“Come in.” Balfour snapped back to reality.
Quinton could only step into Pearl’s room after getting permission.
Balfour massaged his temples, looking somewhat worn out. “How’s the kid doing?” He asked.
Quinton answered honestly. “The doctor said Baber has a severe head injury, along with a minor concussion. He
has stitched up the wound on the back of his head and given him some medicines, but since Baber’s been pretty
moody at the hospital, the doctor suggested bringing him home for rest and to pay special attention to soothing his
emotions. Then just go to the hospital to change the dressing every day, making sure the wound stays dry”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBalfour squinted, thinking to himself how this kid’s life has been one hell of a roller coaster. Since he was adopted,
he’s been getting hurt a lot, and each time was worse than the last.
“Did the doctor figure out what caused Baber’s injury?” He asked.
Quinton responded, “The doctor said Baber’s wound doesn’t look like it was caused by a sharp object; it’s more
likely that he bumped into something like a table
corner.”
Hearing this, Balfour found some of his doubts answered, but he was also somewhat disappointed.
It turned out that Patri was lying through her teeth. The wound on Baber’s head was not caused by Ellinor hitting
him with a weapon.
However, Balfour also felt a bit relieved. Even though Baber’s injury wasn’t caused by Ellinor, it didn’t seem like
Patri intentionally hurt him either. It was probably Just Baber being clumsy, and Patri saw it as an opportunity to
frame Ellinor.
Even though Patri’s behavior was despicable, at least she wasn’t that ruthless. Maybe she could still change; he
would have to discipline her properly in the future. He couldn’t let her go on like this.
Then Quinton said, “Mr Howard, because Baber is really resistant to going to Ms. Howard’s room, I sent him to the
nanny’s room for her to take care of him.”
After hearing this, Balfour’s brows furrowed again. The excuse he just made for Patricia seemed to fall apart. Baber
has been really resistant to Patri since he woke up; did Patri really do something to hurt Baber?
Thinking of this, Balfour’s temples started to throb, “Alright, I got it. You can leave now.”
Quinton didn’t leave because he still had something to report. “Mr. Howard, the pocket watch you lost in K City has
been found”
The pocket watch was a birthday gift from his sister Pearl fifteen years ago. She painted the dial herself.
The time painted on the dial was his birth time and his portrait.
Even though the child’s drawing didn’t look much like him, it was a memory his sister gave him, so he cherished it
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmvery much and always carried it with him.
He lost it when he returned from a business trip to K City not long ago.
“Where did you find it?” Balfour asked, looking up.
Quinton’s expression was a bit complicated, and he answered truthfully, “I found it in the blood collection room of K
City Hospital, a young nurse had picked it up.
When Ellinor called you to donate blood, you took off your coat, and the pocket watch fell to the ground.”
Balfour nodded, he wasn’t too surprised, as long as the pocket watch was found
However, Quinton’s expression did not relax after completing the task. He added, “Mr. Howard, when I sent
someone to check the hospital surveilance footage to help find your pocket watch, we discovered something else
that was odd”
Balfour raised an eyebrow, “What?”
Quinton explained, “That day after you donated blood and left the blood collection room, the two nurses on duty in
the room took your blood sample without authorization, and we’re not clear about their intentions yet
