    After some thought, Xenia said impatiently, Tm gonna go check if the kid is awake, so you just hang


    tight here”


    Ellinor grinned with satisfaction, “Alright. I appreciate it, Mrs. Howard!”


    After a while, Xenia came back with Baber.


    Baber nced around nervously, his gaze lingered on Ellinor for a moment before quickly dimming.


    He grew up in an orphanage, so he always felt inferior and sensitive. However, the first few times


    Ellinor saw him, his eyes were full of curiosity about the word.


    But now, the world had hurt him so much that he couldn’t look people in the eyes. He was such a small


    child, yet he looked at the world with such despair


    Ellinor thought of her own childhood, then beckoned to him, “Come on,e here.”


    Baber instinctively took a step back, then looked up at Xenia.


    Since Xenia had brought the child over, there was no need to stop Ellinor from interacting with him. She


    said, a bit annoyed, “Go on, she’s calling your


    Baber, not understanding the adult’s sarcasm, thought his ‘grandma‘ really agreed, so he walked


    towards Ellinor


    Ellinor gently touched Baber’s thin little face, “Why have you lost so much weight? Haven’t you been


    eating welltely?”


    Baber didn’t answer Ellinor’s question but turned to look at Xenia, wanting to know if he could answer


    the question.


    Xenia red at Baber, implying that he should zip it.


    Baber, scared, shrank his neck and dared not speak.


    Ellinor noticed that Baber had not only lost a lot of weight but also had many scars on his body. She


    frowned slightly and asked, “How did you get these injuries?”


    Baber shook his head, keeping quiet.


    Ellinor knew he was afraid to speak, so she said gently, “Don’t be scared, tell the truth. I’m here, so no


    one will hurt you”


    Baber lifted his head. While looking at Ellinor uneasily, he opened his mouth as if he were about to say


    something.


    Xenia intentionally cleared her throat, scaring Baber into shrinking his neck again and keeping quiet.


    Watching this made Ellinor’s brow furrow deeply.


    “Ellinor, why are you asking a little kid so many questions? He can’t talk that much! Besides, Baber is at


    that age when he’s always running around, he’s bound to get some scrapes, and it’s normal! He’s a


    boy; there’s no need to pamper him so much. Otherwise, he won’t grow up to be tough!”


    Ellinor clenched her fists in secret, itching to berate Xenia and Patricia. How could they hurt a child time


    and time again, causing him to suffer so much pain?
