The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 687

"I’ve gotta save my son; I need to rescue my Baber! Ellinor, give me a hand; help me open that door!"

As she spoke, Patricia raised the chisel in her hand.

Ellinor squinted at Patricia's frantic and desperate demeanor, feeling a bit skeptical.

Patricia was acting differently from her usual self and not acting like she was putting on a show.

If what Patricia said was true, was there a man in that storage room, possibly holding the kid hostage?

Was Baber discovered by a burglar, who then killed him out of fear that his cries would alert the adults?

Thinking of Baber's safety, Ellinor momentarily put aside her doubts about Patricia and calmly said, "Calm down; even if someone is holding your son hostage inside, opening the door won't solve anything. It might piss them off and they might hurt your son! We don't know who or what's behind that door; we should call your family first!"

With that, Ellinor tried to leave to find the rest of the Howard family.

But Patricia grabbed her again, her voice was shaky with panic. "No need to call anyone; I already rang Balfour; he and Theo will be here soon!

Ellinor, we can't leave; what if the bad guy inside takes the chance to escape?"

Ellinor stopped in her tracks, deep in thought.

Patricia had a point; if they both left, it would give the bad guy a chance to escape, but leaving one person behind was also risky.
