    Chapter 992


    After listening to her mother, Patricia looked back at Baber in the backseat and then exchanged a


    knowing look with Xenia.


    Patricia then moved to sit next to Baber in the backseat.


    Baber, who was initially quiet, instinctively moved away when he saw Patriciaing. Apart from fear


    and dread, he had no other expectations for this woman who yed the role of his mother.


    Patricia subtly reached out and pinched Baber’s arm hard. When she heard Baber cry out in pain, she


    loudly asked, “Baber? What’s wrong with you,


    Baber?”


    Then, feigning worry, she touched Baber’s forehead and said, “Oh my, you’re burning up!”


    Xenia yed along and asked, “What’s going on? Is the kid running a fever?”


    Patricia nodded and said, “Mom, Baber has a fever. What should we do?”


    Xenia continued, “What else can we do? Go to the hospital! Quick, Baber has a fever. Turn the car


    around and take us to the hospital!”


    The servants hesitated.


    Xenia frowned and said sternly, “The child has a fever. What are you hesitating for? Even though he is


    adopted, Dean Howard and Alyssa recognize him as their own now. If anything happens to him, can


    you bear the responsibility?”


    The servants looked at each other.


    One of them said, “Madam, there’s a local hospital not far ahead. Should we take Baber there first?”


    Xenia eximed, “What? A local hospital? Are you suggesting we take Baber to an unprofessional


    clinic? What if they misdiagnose and dy Baber’s treatment? Can you take responsibility?”

    The servants, after some consideration, had no choice but to turn around and take them to the city


    hospital.


    Half an hourter, they arrived at the city hospital. After registering for emergency care, Patricia and


    Xenia took Baber into the emergency room.


    The servant who followed them was waiting outside the consulting room, but after a long wait, he didn’t


    see theme out.


    Therefore, he went into the emergency room to check, only to find the doctor was attending to another


    patient, and Patricia and Xenia were nowhere to be seen.


    The doctor, irritated by the intrusion, gruffly said, “Who let you in? Line up if you want to see a doctor.


    One at a time!”


    The servant asked the doctor, “Where are the people who came in with a child?”


    The doctor frowned and said, “You mean those two women? They asked me to give their child an


    injection to reduce his fever. I told them to wait in the injection area behind the curtain. When I prepared


    the medication and lifted the curtain, they were gone.”


    The servant nced behind the curtain and saw a window that was left open. The emergency room


    was on the ground floor, and one could easily exit the hospital through the window.


    The servant immediately sensed that something was off and quickly called home to report the situation.


    Patricia and Xenia, carrying Baber, hastily left the hospital and hailed a taxi.


    Once they were in the cab, Patricia finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Mom, where are we going next?”


    Xenia replied, “I have a vacant apartment on the Third Ring Road. The Howard family doesn’t know


    about it. We can stay there for now and n our next move:


    Patricia nodded, feeling exhausted. It was good to have a ce to go.
