A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

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. "That's 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 Lisette's 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.
