“Ms. Hill, I want this child.”
Although Tanya didn’t fully agree with Esther’s decision, she respected it.
“In that case, leave the divorce case to me. Take care of yourself and Felix. Could you delay the
prenatal checkup? Remember, Mr. Searle told you about the pregnancy. If it becomes a point of
contention in court, we can claim ignorance…”
“I can’t do that. I can’t let Jasper commit perjury for me.”
Esther couldn’t accept Jasper’s confession and couldn’t let him face perjury charges for her. Using his
affection to hurt him was out of the question.
“I think Mr. Searle would be willing to help…” Tanya suggested.
Esther shook her head, resolute. “Ms. Hill, I know Jasper would be willing, but I’m not. I want to win

“Alright,” Tanya replied seriously. “I’ll do my best. You also need to take good care of yourself and
Felix.”
“Mommy…” Felix walked over to Esther while rubbing his sleepy eyes and grabbed her slightly cool
fingertips with his chubby little hand.
“Ms. Hill, let’s talk later.”
“Okay.”
Esther bent down to pick up Felix, affectionately asking, “Felix, did you sleep well last night?”
“Super well!” Felix nestled in Esther’s arms and acted cute. He put his arms around her neck and said,
“Mommy, I had a dream.”
“What did my dear son dream about?” Esther asked.
Felix sweetly replied, “I dreamt about my baby sister!”
“Why a baby sister and not a big sister?” Esther thought of her daughter, whose whereabouts were
unknown. Involuntarily, she remembered Bradley’s menacing expression as he threatened her. “Is it
because you want to be a big brother?”
“Mommy, I’ll be a really good big brother!”
Esther carried Felix into the bathroom, and he obediently stood by the sink to get ready for the day. He
squeezed a bit of toothpaste onto Esther’s toothbrush and handed it to her.
“Mommy, let’s brush together.”
Esther took the toothbrush from him, affectionately swiping his nose. “Thank you, my precious Felix.”
As Esther brought the toothbrush closer to her lips, the scent of the toothpaste hit her nose, and she
couldn’t help but gag.
“Mommy… are you okay?”

She held back her nausea to avoid worrying Felix and reassured him, “Mommy’s fine, Felix.”
“Mommy, are you sick? I’ll go find a nurse for you now…”
Esther held Felix’s small hand, gently wiped the toothpaste off his lips, and said softly,” Mommy’s just a
bit hungry because I haven’t eaten anything since last night. I’ll eat
something, and I’ll be fine.”
Originally, she had wanted to say it was due to adjusting to the new environment, but she was worried
that Felix would blame himself for her discomfort.
“Mommy, how about I order takeout for you?”
Felix ran to get Esther’s phone. Just as he was about to order food, a call came from Kevin. He
accidentally answered the call.
“Esther, Bradley fainted…
