Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 621

Ethan actually stopped.

"Mr. Sinclair, please stop jumping around, alright? I'm getting a little tired," Elena said softly to him.

Ethan actually quieted down.

Anna, standing nearby, was pleasantly surprised. "I really didn't expect Mr. Sinclair to listen to Miss Whelan so well!"

Scarlett Sinclair also felt relieved. "Yes, it seems Ethan and Elena have a special connection."

"Mrs. Sinclair, it's getting late. I should be heading back!"

Scarlett turned to Anna. "Call Daphne and have her come pick Ethan up!"

"I don't want to... I'm not leaving... I want to stay with the pretty lady!" Ethan suddenly grabbed Elena's clothes, having a complete meltdown.

Seeing this, Elena spoke up. "Mrs. Sinclair, there is something I'm not sure if I should mention."

Scarlett replied gently, "Elena, just say whatever is on your mind. You don't need to be so formal, there's nothing you can't tell me."

"I don't think Ethan should be sent to live outside the estate anymore. The caregiver looking after him definitely isn't doing a good job. Otherwise, why would he be so terrified of going back? Plus, I've heard he often runs off on his own, so there might be a deeper reason behind all this."

Anna suddenly realized something.

"Ma'am, when the staff was giving Ethan a bath earlier, they mentioned he had injuries on his body. I initially thought he got hurt while wandering outside. Would you like to take a look?"

Scarlett walked over and lifted Ethan's shirt, discovering numerous bruises all over his body.

"How... how are there so many injuries?" Scarlett was stunned.

"Daphne, how exactly have you been looking after Ethan? He wandered off today, and Evelyn couldn't even reach you on the phone. What exactly were you doing?"

Daphne's heart skipped a beat, a wave of fear washing over her.

She quickly explained, "Ma'am, I just stepped out for a brief moment. Who knew master Ethan would sneak out behind our backs? I didn't mean for this to happen... Ma'am, I promise there won't be a next time. I'm so sorry!"

At that moment, Elena spoke up. "It wasn't just a brief moment. Ethan has been missing for three or four hours. If you only stepped out for a bit, how did you not know he was gone until now?"

"Ma'am, I... I actually had a family emergency today. I got delayed dealing with things at home. My mother-in-law is sick, and I had to take care of her, which is why I didn't notice. Ma'am, please, have mercy—I've always been so loyal to you and your family!"

"Your mother-in-law is sick?" Scarlett was a little surprised.

"Y-Yes, my mother-in-law is severely ill, so I occasionally go back to look after her. I was just delayed a bit longer today. You know how unruly Ethan can be. Sometimes even those large bodyguards can't keep an eye on him, which... which is why this accident happened."
