Chapter 697
People’s hopes began to morph into disappointment, and they were getting pretty ticked off, feeling like they were
being played for fools.
The help of the Howard family began to kick up a fuss.
“Baber hasn’t moved a muscle, does that look like he’s corning back to life?”
“Give up on her! She’s just pulling our legs!”
“He’s not even breathing: how can he just pop a weird little pill and be back from the dead? If that was possible,
hospitals would’ve gone belly up ages ago!”
“Mr. Howard even gave her a shot, but that woman is clearly making a mockery out of the Howard family!”

Patricia saw the outcome she was expecting, gave a small chuckle, then started crying again.
“Ellinor, had your fun yet? My Baber’s gone, and you’re still messing with his body! If you’ve got beef, take it up with
me, stop tormenting my childi”
Ellinor didn’t respond, she just frowned deeply, staring fixedly at the child on the floor, hoping he would come back
to life. She didn’t want to give up, so she reached out to feel his pulse again.
With no response from Ellinor, Patricia seized the moment, rushing at her dramatically, flinging herself onto her,
shaking her violently, and pleading with her “Ellinor, can’t you just let my child be? I’m begging you. I’ll kneel down
for you, okay?”
Seeing this, Theo quickly pulled Patricia back, “Calm down!”
After being touched by Theo, Patricia seized the opportunity and collapsed onto him with tears streaming down her
face while looking up at him.
“Theo, you’re just gonna let Ellinor torment Baber’s body? Baber was adopted, but he truly saw us as his parents!
Have you forgotten how adorable he looked when he used to call you dad? Are you so smitten by Ellinor that you
don’t care about Baber anymore?”
Theo frowned, his eyes growing dimmer. He stayed silent for a moment, gently pushed the limp Patricia off him,
steadied her, and then let go, “Just cool off a bit. We don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”
Patricia looked devastated, and her face crumpled, “Theo… What do you mean we don’t know what’s going to
happen? Baber is already dead! As Baber’s guardian and his father, shouldn’t you be seeking revenge first? Why
are you still siding with the culprit?”
Balfour stepped in to support Patricia, sneering, “Patri, forget it, don’t expect him to have a conscience! If he can
ignore the fact that you saved his life, then an adopted child means even less!”

Theo’s face was a mix of emotions as his cold eyes glared at Balfour.
The air was heavy, and the mood was tense.
Just then!
A child’s coughing broke the silence.
The standoff between the two men was broken.
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the child on the floor.
The child, who had previously lost consciousness, was now coughing intermittently with a pained look on his face.
He was awake!
Did he really wake up?
