Chapter 1877
At the Children’s Ward of the hospital.
Theo led Ellinor into the room, where Baber was sat on the bed, munching on an apple that Veronica had peeled for
him.
Seeing Ellinor enter, Marissa and Putnam’s worried expressions softened.
“Ellinor, you’re awake!”
“We’re glad you’re okay!”
Ellinor simply nodded towards the elderly couple before releasing Theo’s hand and quickly walking over to Baber’s
bedside. Seeing her son alive and well, tears streamed down her face.
He’s okay! Baber is actually okay.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon catching sight of Ellinor, Baber immediately lost his appetite for the apple. He let go of the apple and threw
his arms around Ellinor, “Mommy, I thought I would never see you again…”
Ellinor held Baber, “Mommy is here now! Mommy will never let you out of her sight again!”
Everyone in the room couldn’t help but tear up at the sight.
Theo, with a worried frown, looked deeply moved, his eyes slightly red.
Turning to Veronica, he asked, “Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to stay home with the other three?”
Veronica, wiping her tears, replied, “Don’t worry, Theo. We’ve got a full crew at home watching over them. I’ve
even asked Moran to come over and help out. I was just so worried about Baber, so I came over with Grandma and
Grandpa. I’ll head back home soon.”
Theo simply nodded, “Take Grandma and Grandpa home with you when you go. We’ll handle things here.”
Hearing this, Marissa quickly said, “Theo, we’re fine! Even if we go home, we won’t be able to sleep. We might as
well stay here and be with Baber! Besides, Ellinor needs rest too. Let us share some of the burden. We’ll be fine!”
Theo responded, “You need to take care of yourselves. If anything were to happen to you now, it would be too
much for us. Baber is going to be okay; he just has some minor injuries and shock. He should be able to leave the
hospital by tomorrow morning.”
Considering their grandson’s words, Marissa nodded, “Alright then, we’ll head home with Veronica. Theo, you must
take good care of Ellinor. She’s been through a lot waiting for you.”
Theo replied, “You have my word.”
After spending a few more minutes with them, Theo arranged for someone to take Veronica, Marissa, and Putnam
home.
Once they had left, the room became much quieter.
Ellinor sat by the bed, feeding Baber porridge. Looking at the injuries on his face and body, she felt a mixture of

Patricia had better hope she would not find her!
If so, she would make sure to get back every bit of what’s owed, a thousand times over!
Baber, only five years old, how could anyone do this to him?
“Mommy, I’m full; I can’t eat anymore!” Baber politely shook his head, rejecting the last spoonful of porridge Ellinor
was trying to feed him.
Ellinor nodded, ate a bit of the porridge herself, and put down the bowl. She then caressed Baber’s face and said,
“If you’re full, then you don’t have to eat anymore. Are you tired? Want to sleep a little?”
Baber shook his head again, his eyes full of fear, “Not tired. Baber doesn’t want to sleep.”
Ellinor’s heart ached. She knew her child better than anyone else. She could see the tiredness in his eyes, but he
stubbornly insisted that he wasn’t tired. His little hand clutched tightly onto her clothes, as if he was afraid they
would be separated again.
Because she understood, it hurt all the more, “Alright, if you’re not tired, then Mommy will stay up and chat with
you for a while, okay?”
