    Chapter 473


    At that moment, Patricia, and Haillie were sauntering in with shopping bags and chatting away.


    “Patricia, that dress you helped me pick out is just gorgeous, I love it! I’m gonna wear it to the birthday


    party tomorrow!


    “Yeah, I think it’s stunning too! Haillie, you’ll surely amaze everyone when you strut in with that dress


    tomorrow!”


    “Whoa!” The kid saw his moming back and couldn’t contain his excitement, he bolted towards her


    like a cannonball, tripped,nded face first on the floor, and began bawling his eyes out


    Patricia nearly jumped out of her skin at the sight. She rushed over and picked him up off the floor,


    ‘What happened?”


    The child clung to her neck, seeking sce in her arms, but kept crying


    “Honey, tell Mommy what’s wrong. Are you feeling unwell?’


    The one year-old didn’t know how to express his feelings other than by crying

    Patricia got worried. She examined his body and rolled up his sleeves. She found his arm full of


    bruises, scary ones!


    Patricia’s heart ached so much that her eyes welled up immediately. “How could this have happened?”


    The child just cried as his tiny body trembled


    Haillie was shocked by the bruises too, and then she turned her using gaze to the only other person


    in the room


    “You! Ellinor, you must have abused our child while we were gone!!


    I didn’t Ellinor was puzzled.


    Haillie red at her, ‘Oh, you say you didn’t and that’s it? You were the only one with the child. If it


    wasn’t you, who else could it be?”


    Ellinor remained calm, “Haillie, usations require proof


    Haillie sneered Proof? You cant prove that you weren’t here, that’s the best proof


    Patricia cradled her son as tears streamed down her face. She looked at Ellinor as her voice choked


    with sorrow and anger, “Ellinor, 1 asked you to watch my child only for a while. How could you do this to


    a child? I trusted you…”


    Trust? Patricia said she trusted her? What a joke!


    Ellinor instantly realized that this was a trap set by Patricia when she saw her hypocritical performance


    Who would have thought Patricia could be so ruthless and take advantage of her own son?!


    Just then, Balfour came back from his work, walking in on his sister and nephew crying. He frowned.


    “What happened?”


    Patricia flung herself into her brother’s arms and continued crying inconsbly.


    Balfour was puzzled Patri, what’s going on?””


    Haillie marched forward angrily. “Balfour, good you’re here! Ellinor has been mistreating the child while


    Patricia and I were out! Look at all the bruises she left on him, he’s been crying from the pain! It’s


    heartbreaking!”


    With that, Haillie lifted the child’s shirt for him to see


    Balfour’s brows furrowed even more when he saw the patchy marks on the child’s body. His gentle


    eyes turned cold as he red at Ellinor, ‘Ms. Mendoza, have you lost all your humanity? How can you


    be so cruel to a child?”
