Chapter 688
Patricia suddenly knelt on the ground, holding the unconscious Baber in her arms, and began sobbing
uncontrollably.
âBaber, my Baber, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me! I'm sorry, I was too late! Baber!â
Ellinor, a pregnant woman, was deeply saddened by the scene in front of her
At the same time, she was still on guard, scanning the surroundings to make sure there was no one
else in the storage room.
Patricia's screams quickly attracted a crowd.
âPatri, what's going on?"
Balfour quickly rushed in, his face changing upon seeing the situation.
Patricia was crying uncontrollably while holding the child, almost unable to breathe, âBaber has
stopped breathing!â
Balfour quickly crouched down and reached out to check the child's breath, but he couldn't feel any
signs of life. His hand trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes in sorrow, taking a deep breath.
Theo walked in next, his pupils contracting when he saw the scene, âWhat happened?â
Hearing his voice, Patricia looked up with tears streaming down her face. âTheo, Baber... has been
killed!"
Theo frowned and was stunned for a moment. He then knelt down and touched Baber little hand. It
was still warm, but he had stopped breathing.
It hadn't been that long since he helped Patricia adopt this child, and although there was no blood
relation, he felt heartbroken.
He was a very well-behaved child and not even two years old yet.
Balfour suddenly opened his eyes, snapping back to reality, and stood up to command his servants.
âGo investigate! Now! Find out who was brave enough to commit murder in our home. I'll have their
entire family killed!â
âYes!â
Some people left to follow his orders, while the rest stayed to mourn for the deceased child
At that moment, the emotional Patricia suddenly cried out again, âDon't bother investigating, the
murderer is here, I saw everything!â
As soon as Patricia said this, there was a shock around her, and everyone exchanged glances
Balfour said, âPatri, you saw it? Tell me, who was it?"
Patriciaâs tearfilled eyes suddenly turned toward Ellinor in pain and anger, âIt was her!â
Ellinor, who had been silently praying for the poor child, was suddenly accused of being the murderer.
She frowned in surprise, but after seeing Patricia's convincing performance, she wasn't too surprised.
Balfour was taken aback, his angry gaze fell coldly on Ellinor, âYou did this?!"
Theo, who had been crouching next to Baber, also turned to look at her. His mysterious, deep eyes
revealed no emotion, leaving his stance unclear.
The crowd was filled with anger, glaring at Ellinor as the criminalâ who had hurt a child.
Because of Patricia, Ellinor inmediately became the target of everyone's anger. She regained her
composure and stated calmly, âI didn't do itâ
Patricia looked at her sorrowfully, âEllinor, the murder weapon is still in your hand, how can you deny
it?"
