Chapter 96
“This is the psychological evaluation I’ve done on Ms. Quill just now.”
The psychologist slid a thick stack of information to Bradley.
Bradley took the document and went through it carefully, asking seriously, “What do these answers
mean?”
“Ms. Quill’s psychological state is extremely poor.” The psychologist explained calmly, “In layman’s
terms, she’s like a fragile porcelain doll now. She looks fine and pretty on the outside, but there are
cracks everywhere. If she’s taken care of carefully, the porcelain doll can stand there perfectly intact.
But the slightest external force will shatter the porcelain doll, never for it to recover again.”
Clark asked in worry, “Then what should we do now? Do we tell her the truth? Or do we act along?”
“From the professional viewpoint of a psychologist, I suggest that you don’t tell her the truth. With her
current capability to accept things, she might possibly resort to something extreme the moment she
learns the truth.”
Clark asked with furrowed brows, “Do we go along with her now, then?”

best for her to receive therapy once a week during this period. With your collaboration, I am confident
we can help her achieve a stable psychological state. Doing so will make it more difficult for her to
resort to extreme measures when she eventually learns the

truth.”
Clark took a glance at Bradley and asked gently, “Mr. Warner, what do you think we should do next?”
“Clark, Grandpa died because of her,” said Bradley.
Once Bradley thought about how Esther had harmed Thomas, who was so fond of her, he could never
forgive her.
Clark recalled Liliane’s confession in the recording and could not help but explain on behalf of Esther,
“Mr. Warner, you and Esther both experienced the loss of your daughter, Tinkerbell.. If you both keep
giving tit for tat, the grudges you hold will never be resolved.”
“Clark, Grandpa died.” Bradley gritted his teeth and repeated viciously, “Grandpa died because of
her.”xo.com fast update
“Mr. Warner, Tinkerbell died too. To Esther, Tinkerbell died because of you.” Clark was rarely this firm in
front of Bradley. ” Mr. Thomas is important to you, but Tinkerbell is Esther’s life. No matter how much
you hate her and begrudge her, she has given birth to your children. The jurisdiction system gave her a
five–year sentence. Are you giving her a life sentence? Or do you want her to repay a life for a life?”
There was a warning tone in Clark’s words.
Bradley’s fists clenched tightly, causing veins to protrude on his forehead, neck, and the back of his
hands.
Maintaining a professional demeanor, the psychologist analyzed the situation. “The pain of losing her
daughter has dealt a severe blow to Esther. From her medical history, I can see that her heart stopped
in the ICU. While I don’t know the exact reason it started beating again, I do know that given her
Chapter 96
fragile condition, even a seemingly insignificant trigger or thoughtless remark could become the
catalyst for her to contemplate ending her life.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClark and Bradley looked at the doctor in unison.
The psychologist said, “There’s only one reason for her to choose death, but she needs countless
reasons to stay alive.”
“Mr. Warner, if you really don’t want to see her, I can take her to stay elsewhere.” Clark’s eyes were
rimmed red. Once he thought that Esther was not the culprit that had taken Thomas ‘ life, then
everything she had been through these five years… had been for nothing.
If that accident had not happened, Thomas would not have missed the best time for treatment. He
would still be alive. Esther would then have given birth to Bradley’s children, and they would not have
gone through so much hardship as a family.

“As long as we find her other daughter, Pixie, she’ll have a reason to keep living. Mr. Warner, I plead
with you to forgive her and let her live.”
Bradley’s heart, tough and frozen like ice, eventually cracked. Thoughts of his lost daughter, Tinkerbell,
and the uncertainty surrounding Pixie’s whereabouts flooded his mind. At that moment, as he reflected
on Esther’s role in giving him two daughters, he succumbed to compromise, swayed by Clark’s plea.
“She’s forbidden from stepping into the Warners‘ manor,” said Bradley.
