A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 247 Wincing in pain , Lisette turned on Baber angrily , spat through gritted teeth , You little brat ! Baber , however , was unfazed .

He pressed firmly on her injured arm , his childish voice carrying an unexpectedly authoritative tone .

Thats what you get for hurting Callie ! Go on .

Try it again ! I dare you ! Let go of me , you little monster ! Lisette cried out , sweat beading on her forehead as the pain intensified .

She gasped sharply , tears and snot mixing as she struggled to break free .

But with one of the bodyguards restraining her other arm , she was completely trapped .

By then , the commotion had drawn the nurses attention , who hurried over .

Baber glanced at his bodyguard , a silent command passing between them .

Catching on immediately , the bodyguard released Lisettes wrist .

Her grip on the glass tumbler loosened involuntarily , and the cup slipped from her grasp .

Baber darted out of the way just in time .

The glass hit the metal bed railing with a sharp crack , shattering into dozens of pieces .

Without missing a beat , Baber let out a loud , gut wrenching wail and crouched down , clutching his tiny hands to his chest .

Waah ! I just wanted to ask why you kidnapped me , and you , you tried to kill me ! He sobbed dramatically , his little body shaking .

The timing was impeccable .

As the nurses rushed in , they saw a little , helpless child curled up on the floor , weeping uncontrollably .

Meanwhile , Lisette was left panting , her face streaked with tears .

But unlike Baber , she still had shards of broken glass clutched in her trembling fingers .

The nurses expressions hardened as they turned toward her .

Ms.

Jewell , one of them said , voice laced with disapproval .

Baber wanted to ask you a question .

How could you attempt to harm a child ? The bodyguard , ever the loyal accomplice , stepped in with a look of righteous indignation .

Hes just a kid .

He was scared and confused ! He wanted answers ! And you you tried to hurt him ! You can be cold hearted , he continued , shaking his head , but this ? It is downright evil .

Lisettes eyes were bloodshot as she stared in disbelief at the unfolding scene .

These two this absurd little duo painted her as the villain ! Are you kidding me ? she snapped , pointing a trembling finger at Baber .

Hes the one hurting me ! Baber blinked up at her with wide , tear filled eyes .

Me ? A helpless kid ? You think I could hurt you ? His lower lip trembled .

Wow , I must be strong then .

Tell me , Ms.

Jewell , exactly how did I hurt you ? His tiny frame , his sweet , cherubic voice yet somehow , every word carried an edge , a sharpness that made him all the more infuriating .

One of the nurses clutched her chest , looking at him with pure sympathy .

Oh , sweetheart , how could anyone accuse you of something so awful ? Yeah , another whispered .

Grown woman picking on a kid .

Disgusting .

A murmur rippled through the small crowd gathering at the doorway .

Seriously , bullying a child ? Have some shame ! Lisette was seething .

You , you deliberately pressed on my injured arm ! You knew what you were doing ! Baber sniffled , his little nose scrunching up as he wiped his eyes .

So , youre saying I , a tiny , defenseless boy , 1/2 05:18 Chapter 247 intentionally hurt you ? Or maybe … He paused , his voice growing softer , sadder .

Maybe you hurt yourself so you could blame me ? I know you want to bully me because I have no mommy .

Lisettes breath hitched .

Thats not what I said ! she shouted , feeling the weight of the judging stares around her .

Baber lowered his gaze , his voice trembling .

Its okay .

You dont have to admit it .

No one would believe me anyway .

He took a deep breath as if steeling himself , then turned to the bodyguard .

Lets go .

I shouldnt have bothered her .

I must be so annoying .

Thats why she hates me .

Thats why I dont have a mommy .

His last words were barely a whisper , but they struck like a hammer to the hearts of everyone present .

A collective gasp rippled through the room .

One of the nurses even wiped at her eyes .

Poor thing , someone murmured .

Still sitting there with the broken glass in her hand , Lisette could only gape at the absurdity of it all .

This rat ….

This devilish little actor … He had just turned the entire damn hospital against her .
