Baber cracked his eyes open, even though he had been through hell. He was as pale as a ghost and looked pretty worn out.
After the shock, the Howard clan swarmed around Baber, all very concerned As soon as Baber came to, Ellinorâs nerves started to unwind. She stood up and backed off a bit, naturally leaning against Theo and letting out a relieved sigh Theo didnât say anything at this time. He simply caught her in a gentle hug and ran his fingers through her hair Patricia, despite the shock, didnât forget to keep up the act. She squatted next to Baber, wiping her tears, and said, âBaber, thank god! Youâre awake I thought I had lost you. You scand the hell out of me At first, Baber looked downright puzzled, staring blankly around, still not quite getting what had just happened.
But when Patricia moved in for a hug, he looked scared stiff, as if heâd seen a ghost, and started to bawl Patricia froze but continued to reach out to hug Baber, saying, âBaber, donât cry Iâm right here, okay?â
But her attempts to soothe him only seemed to make him weep louder. He tried to scramble away from her, but he was too weak to get up.
Seeing this, Balfour frowned in confusion, then reached out to help Baber, âBaber, whatâs wrong? Donât you recognize your mom?â
Baber looked terrified, burying his face in Balfourâs chest and shivering like a leaf.
Patriciaâs expression darkened, âBaber, Iâm your mom! Let me hold you.â
But Baber didnât even look at her. He buried his face deeper into Balfourâs chest, staying still except for the trembling.
There was definitely something fishy about a child who woke up from an injury, refused to go to his mom, and cried when his mom got close.
Balfour felt something was off, but he trusted Patricia and didnât overthink it.
âPatr, youâre too worked up right now, it might upset Baber. Letâs keep a little distance for now, okay?
Once Baberâs calmed down, heâll come to you.â
Patricia blinked guiltily pretending to be helpless as she nodded, âAlright, as long as Baberâs okay, thatâs all I care about.â
In fact, she wasnât worried about Baberâs health at all, but whether Baber would reveal the truth after waking up.
If Baber revealed the truth and said that the wound on his head was her doing, how would Balfour and Theo look at her then?
This was just the pits! Who would have thought a kid who seemed done for could actually be revived?
Ellinor must be some kind of witch, how else could she do things that were against all reason?
She must have cast a spell on Theo, and now she had brought Baber back to life using her witchcraft.
Ellinor didnât have any magical powers; she just happened to know a bit about medicine and some obscure knowledge that most people donât.
EffecSure Heal Medicine was a common household remedy, but most people think the main ingredient was the powder in the bottle, not knowing that the real deal was the little red pill hidden in the cap!
This little pill was a secret formula, the exact composition was unknown.
When Ellinor was living in the monastery as a child, she once saw the nun who took her in use this little pill to save a seriously injured man. It made a strong impression on her However, this little pill can only be used for critically ill people, not for those with minor illnesses.
Used correctly, it could save lives.
The precondition was that the person taking the medication must still have vital signs.
That kid was lucky too; he was tough as nails and managed to pull through.
