The Kiss that Sparked it All novel 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."

Balfour 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.
