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 thest.

“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.
Then Quinton said, “Mr Howard, because Baber is really resistant to going to Ms. Howard’s room, I
sent him to the nanny’s room for her to take care of him.”
After hearing this, Balfour’s brows furrowed again. The excuse he just made for Patricia seemed to fall
apart. Baber has been really resistant to Patri since he woke up; did Patri really do something to hurt
Baber?
Thinking of this, Balfour’s temples started to throb, “Alright, I got it. You can leave now.”
Quinton didn’t leave because he still had something to report. “Mr. Howard, the pocket watch you lost in
K City has been found”
The pocket watch was a birthday gift from his sister Pearl fifteen years ago. She painted the dial
herself.
The time painted on the dial was his birth time and his portrait.
Even though the child’s drawing didn’t look much like him, it was a memory his sister gave him, so he
cherished it very much and always carried it with him.
He lost it when he returned from a business trip to K City not long ago.
“Where did you find it?” Balfour asked, looking up.
Quinton’s expression was a bitplicated, and he answered truthfully, “I found it in the blood
collection room of K City Hospital, a young nurse had picked it up.
When Ellinor called you to donate blood, you took off your coat, and the pocket watch fell to the
ground.”
Balfour nodded, he wasn’t too surprised, as long as the pocket watch was found
However, Quinton’s expression did not rx afterpleting the task. He added, “Mr. Howard, when I
sent someone to check the hospital survence footage to help find your pocket watch, we discovered
something else that was odd”
Balfour raised an eyebrow, “What?”
Quinton exined, “That day after you donated blood and left the blood collection room, the two nurses
on duty in the room took your blood sample without authorization, and we’re not clear about their
intentions yet
