Ellinor moved towards Patricia again, planning to take the child from Patricia's arms and lay him flat on the ground.
Patricia held the child tightly, crying out to Balfour for help, "Don't touch my kid! Ellinor, I beg you, stop hurting my child!"
Ellinor didn't have the patience for Patricia's drama. She coolly said, "I can probably save this child now. If you really love your child, you better listen to me and put him down."
Clearly, Patricia had no intention to cooperate.
She didn't believe for a second that Ellinor could save Baber. Even if she did, she didn't want Baber to live again.
Seeing that Patricia still refused to cooperate, Ellinor reached out to pick up Baber herself.
Baber was already weak, and the fact that Patricia was clutching him tightly almost ensured that he would breathe his last.
Afraid that Baber would be taken by Ellinor, Patricia held Baber tightly and looked to Balfour for protection. "She's trying to take my child. Help me!"
Balfour pushed Ellinor away angrily, "Ellinor, didn't your parents teach you to respect the dead?"
Even though Ellinor was standing firm, she couldn't endure the push from a strong man.
She stumbled backward.
Luckily, Theo was right behind her and caught her in time to prevent her from falling.
After steadying Ellinor, Theo glared at Balfour with a dangerous aura.
Ellinor knew Theo was angry, so she quickly tugged on his hand, signaling that she was okay and didn't want him to get involved.
