Both the ambulance and police car arrived at the Howard family’s place.
Medical staff went in first, checked Baber's condition, and inquired about the measures taken. Then they began praising Ellinor's first aid measures, saying that if it wasn’t for her timely rescue, Baber might have been gone.
When the doctor complimented Ellinor, Balfour gave her a complicated look.
Because Baber lost a lot of blood and needed stitches in the back of his head, the medical staff lifted him onto a stretcher and took him to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
Balfour asked Quinton to accompany Baber to the hospital first, while he needed to stay and deal with the police.
Patricia didn't follow the ambulance to accompany Baber because whenever she got close to him, he would cry out in fear. The medical staff advised her not to get close to Baber.
She had no choice but to leave the ambulance, but she was worried that Baber might blurt out something he shouldn't say to Quinton.
...
After the medical staff took the injured Baber away, the police came forward and asked, "Mr. Howard, did someone in your house call the police, saying that someone killed your child?"
Balfour nodded and described the situation to the police.
The police were a bit surprised, "So the child didn't die; he was revived?"
"Exactly." Balfour replied calmly and gracefully. "I'm sorry; because the child was seriously injured, he has been sent to the hospital for treatment. He can cooperate with your investigation after he recovers."
The police nodded in understanding and then asked, "Who do you suspect hurt your child?"
With a complex expression, Balfour was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to Ellinor, "It was her."
