âLady, donât even think about skedaddling this time; we need to explain this to Dean.â
Like a bat out of hell, Xenia pushed away the servants. âBeat it! Who do you think you are? You dare to try and control me?!â Having been fooled before, the servants were no longer polite. Two of them held Xenia down while the rest went to tidy up.
Xenia had only stayed there for less than a day, so there was barely anything to pack. Once everything was sorted, the servants were ready to head out.
Before leaving, the head servant heard what seemed like sobbing from the bedroom, so he sent someone to check it out.
âItâs the kid that the lady adopted! Looks like heâs hurt and crying on the floor!â
The head servant went to see and indeed found Baber curled up, trembling on the floor, and sobbing faintly. It was a pitiful sight.
Something crossed Xeniaâs mind, and she pretended to be concerned, âOh dear! How did the child fall?
Check if heâs hurt; if he is, we must rush him to the hospital!â
The head servant was suspicious because Xenia and her mother had previously used Baberâs illness to escape.
He squatted down to check on the child on the floor and confirmed that Baber was indeed injured this time, making him feel torn.
âWhat are you waiting for?â Xenia urged, âHurry up and take the child to the hospital!â
The head servant frowned and asked, âMaâam, Baberâs injury doesnât look like he fell. Whatâs going on?â
Xenia blinked guiltily, âHow would I know how he got hurt? Heâs a small child and can be careless. His mother isnât here, so he might have bumped into something! Never mind how he got hurt; let go of me;
I need to take Baber to the hospital!â
With that, Xenia tried to break free to pick up the child on the floor.
But Baber, curled up on the floor, became even more anxious when he heard her coming.
Xenia couldnât break free from the servantsâ grip.
Without the head servantâs command, they didnât dare let go.
The head servant thought for a moment and said, âMaâam, you donât need to worry about Baber. Dean has instructed us to take him back to the Blanchet family and let Mr. Blanchet and Ms. Mendoza take care of him.â
Upon hearing this, Xenia was taken aback and then firmly furrowed her brows, âNo way! Absolutely not!
Baber is my grandson; nobody can take him away from me! My daughter has already left me; if you take Baber away and I donât get to see my grandson, I wonât happily go with you to the mansion!
Whatâs the point of living there alone? I might as well end my life now!â
With that, Xenia seemed ready to bite her tongue.
After Xeniaâs declaration to end her life, the head servant immediately stepped forward to stop her, âMaâam, you need to calm down!â
