Felix’s small hand encircled Esther’s neck, and her heartbeat gradually returned to its normal rhythm.
At that moment, a saying came to Agatha’s mind. ‘Women may seem weak, but they show great strength as
mothers.’
Esther managed to pull through from the brink of death. With Felix by her side, her condition improved significantly.
However, as a doctor, Agatha could see that Esther was delicate, like a tightly wound string that could snap with the
slightest disturbance.
Word of Esther’s awakening spread, and those who cared for her, like Kevin, Xara, and Oliver, rejoiced.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing the news of Esther’s recovery, Bradley immediately wished to visit her. Although Esther was at the
Warner Group’s private hospital, the bodyguards stationed at the ICU prevented him from entering. He needed
Agatha’s approval to see her.
As Esther regained consciousness, she began to recover slowly. She kissed Felix’s forehead and tenderly stroked his
hair, overwhelmed by guilt. She believed her strained relationship with Bradley had caused his psychogenic mutism.
“Felix, Mommy needs some water.”
Felix sat up and obediently poured a glass for Esther. Holding it in her hands, she took small sips. Although it was
plain water, it tasted bitter to her.
“Esther, are you feeling better today?” Xara entered with Sunshine.
As Sunshine spotted Esther, she rushed over and called out sweetly, “Mommy.”
“Sunshine.”
Esther held Sunshine’s little hand. Sunshine looked at Esther with bright, sparkling eyes and spoke tenderly.
“Mommy, you have to get better soon.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Sunshine said, “I’ll cheer for you, Mommy.”
Xara glanced at Felix, feeling sympathetic. She now truly understood Esther’s situation. The strained relationship
between parents could profoundly impact their children, such as Jacob’s illness and Felix’s psychogenic mutism.
“Sunshine, why don’t you and Felix play for a while?” Xara suggested.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSunshine nodded and walked over to Felix, taking his hand. “Felix, let’s go play outside.”
Felix glanced at Esther, who smiled gently and said softly, “Go ahead. Mommy will be here.”
After the two children left, Xara pulled up a chair and sat in front of Esther. She asked seriously, “Esther, what are
your plans?”
Esther remained silent.
Xara continued. “I understand my words might seem trivial as an outsider, and I might not fully grasp your
perspective. But, Esther, I consider you a friend, and I hope you can consider me one too. Let’s have an open
conversation.”
Agatha had asked Xara to speak with Esther, knowing that she often hid her thoughts and feelings.
