“Jacob, is Mommy going to die?” Felix asked.
Jacob took a deep breath and reassured, “No, she won’t.”
“Really?”
Tears welled up in Felix’s young eyes. He seemed both uncertain about Jacob’s words and hopeful for his support.
He was scared, anxious, and trembling all at once.
“Of course, it’s true.”
Sunshine walked over to Felix from Jacob’s side. “Felix, Mommy will be alright.”
Hearing Sunshine’s words, Felix cried even louder.
Sunshine gently wiped away the tears on Felix’s face with her small hands. Her own eyes were also brimming with

Felix sobbed. “Sunshine, I don’t want to be an orphan! I want Mommy!”
Sunshine thought about how she had finally found a loving mother. Even though Esther wasn’t her biological
mother, she loved her. She dressed her in pretty clothes, styled her hair nicely, and even cooked delicious food with
her. Esther had fulfilled all of her mother fantasies.
“Wah! I don’t want Mommy to die.” Sunshine’s attempt to comfort Felix ended with her crying because of what Felix
said.
Jacob had always been distant, so he could only pick up the two upset children and tell them, “Stop crying! Your
mom will be okay!”
Felix glared at Bradley, who was waiting outside the operating room, and complained, “But Daddy is a bad man!
Mommy is so pitiful!”
Suddenly, Sunshine rushed to Bradley and pummeled him with her tiny fists.
“Bad guy! Big bad guy!”
Seeing Sunshine hitting Bradley, Felix found the courage to join in. He rushed to Bradley and started punching his
back.
“Daddy, you’re not allowed to hurt Mommy anymore! If you dare to hurt Mommy again, I’ll… I’ll…” Tears glistened
in Felix’s eyes as he spoke softly. “I’ll fight you!”
Bradley gripped Sunshine and Felix’s arms, his anger simmering beneath the surface.
As the big brother, Jacob stood in front of Bradley and asked sternly, his tone resembling Steffan’s usual
conversations with his subordinates, “Beating your wife isn’t enough? Now you want to harm the children, too?”

Felix shouted, “You can hit me, but you can’t hit Mommy!”
With her innocent charm, Sunshine added, “Jacob, hurting wives is against the law. We should call the police to
arrest him!”
Bradley held Felix’s wrist with just enough force. However, when he saw Sunshine’s face, which resembled Esther’s,
his fingers involuntarily tightened around her wrist.
His eyes were filled with terrifying anger as he asked coldly, “What is the relationship between you and Esther?”
Sunshine was just a child. Bradley’s rage frightened even an adult like Esther, let alone a kid like Sunshine. She
burst into tears. “Jacob, save me!”
Jacob watched Sunshine cry intensely and immediately struck Bradley’s hand, which held Sunshine’s wrist. “Let go!”
Seeing Sunshine cry so hard, Felix bit Bradley’s hand. “Bad Daddy! Let go of Sunshine!”
Bradley’s anger surged like tidal waves. “Answer me! What is your relationship with Esther?”
