The Kiss that Sparked it All novel 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 Patricia coming. Apart from fear and dread, he had no other expectations for this woman who played 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 played 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 exclaimed, "What? A local hospital? Are you suggesting we take Baber to an unprofessional clinic? What if they misdiagnose and delay Baber's treatment? Can you take responsibility?"
