Ellinor paused before asking Baber, “You wanna leave this place?”
Baber looked a little nervy but he nodded anyway.
“And where do you want to go?” Ellinor asked again.
Baber tried his best to express himself, “The orphanage.”
Orphanage?
Damn, the kid even wanted to go back to the orphanage. Life at the Howard’s must really suck.
Ellinor gently ruffled his hair, trying to comfort him and build trust. T’d love to give you a hand, but
you’ve gotta understand, I’m just a guest here, and Patricia is your legal guardian. Unless we can find
some dirt on her and strip her of her custody, I can’t help you leave this place.”
Baber was all ears, but his understanding was limited, and he still looked at her with a puzzled
expression.
Ellinor realized she might have been talking over his head.
She sighed and simplified, “What I’m saying is, you’ve gotta be patient. Wait for the right moment, and
I’ll help you make a run for it, okay?”
Baber looked blank for a moment, but his eyes gradually lost their guarded look, and he obediently
nodded.
Ellinor stressed again, “To keep yourself safe, you’ve gotta learn to play it cool. Don’t be too quick to
show resistance when things get tough. It’ll just make the bad guys meaner. Pretend to like them, got
it?”
Baber looked lost again. It seemed like he was in a daze once more.
Ellinor was patient. She took a necklace from around her neck and put it around Baber’s, adjusting it to
fit him.
“This is my lucky charm. It’s got some magic in it. As long as you’re wearing it, it’ll protect you. No one
can push you around. But you can’t cry, okay?”
This time, Baber pretty much got it. He treasured the necklace around his neck and nodded vigorously.
“I believe in you. When you see your mom later, no matter how scared you are, remember not to cry.
Smile and call her mom. That way, she won’t hurt you” Ellinor encouraged him.
Upon hearing he would soon meet the ‘mom’ who scared him, Baber started to shake in fear.
Ellinor comforted him, “I know you’re scared, but don’t forget, you’ve got this magical necklace to
protect you. So, there’s nothing to fear.”
Baber looked at Ellinor, his eyes filled with determination, “Yeah! I’m not scared…”
Ellinor gently stroked his head again and then put him on the bed, letting him rest first.
-He would face the wicked woman after waking up.
Teaching such a young kid to be patient was hard and heartbreaking.
She had no other choice but to get the evidence of Patricia abusing the child before she could truly
save him. She had to be patient and couldn’t screw up the big picture over a small hitch.
Soon, it was dinner time at the Howards’ home.
Fred came to invite Ellinor downstairs.
“Ms. Mendoza, dinner’s ready. Dean, Alyssa, and Mr. Howard all asked me to fetch you.”
A voice came from inside the room, “Yeah, got it. You go ahead; I’ll be down in a bit.”
“Alright, Ms. Mendoza
