The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 713

There were suddenly two knocks on the door, followed by Quinton’s voice.

“Mr. Howard, it’s me.”

“Come in.” Balfour snapped back to reality.

Quinton could only step into Pearl’s room after getting permission.

Balfour massaged his temples, looking somewhat worn out. “How’s the kid doing?” He asked.

Quinton answered honestly. “The doctor said Baber has a severe head injury, along with a minor concussion. He has stitched up the wound on the back of his head and given him some medicines, but since Baber’s been pretty moody at the hospital, the doctor suggested bringing him home for rest and to pay special attention to soothing his emotions. Then just go to the hospital to change the dressing every day, making sure the wound stays dry”

Balfour squinted, thinking to himself how this kid’s life has been one hell of a roller coaster. Since he was adopted, he’s been getting hurt a lot, and each time was worse than the last.
