Esther had never seen Bradley like this. She struggled, shaking and crying. “Bradley Warner, let go of

me! “Let me go!” As Esther thought she would be devoured by the wolf that was Bradley, the window

was knocked in haste. Bradley, overwhelmed by anger, calmed down and got up from Esther in

disdain. He opened the car door and got out. “What is it?” Cole Johnston held a phone and told him

anxiously, “Mr. Bradley, Mr. Felix’s condition has worsened. Ms. Anstey says that the hospital just gave

her the notice of critical condition…” When Bradley heard that, he pulled the car door open and told

Cole, “Keep an eye on the funeral.” Bradley’s full attention was on his son in the hospital. Ten minutes

or so later, he stopped the car at a Warner private hospital. He opened the car door and dragged

Esther, who was barely dressed. Esther staggered before Bradley tossed her to the doctor and nurses.

“Check if she’s a match right now!” In unison, the doctor and nurses answered, “Yes, Mr. Warner.” The

clueless Esther was pushed into the lab department. … “Brad!” As soon as Bradley appeared at the

door of the emergency ward, Liliane Anstey threw herself into his arms tearfully. “Felix was fine in the

morning, and he coughed blood just now! “Why am I so useless? I’m his mother, yet I’m not a match…”

Bradley put an arm around Liliane’s waist and comforted her. “Liliane, Felix will be fine.”

Five years ago, Esther had goaded Thomas to drug Bradley just to get in his bed. Somehow, he had

slept with Lilian instead, and they had Felix. It was unexpected that Felix had been diagnosed with

leukemia shortly after his birth. He was named Felix because they hoped he would be lucky and win

this battle. It was just that despite how large in scale the Warners were, they had not been able to find

a matching bone marrow for their son. Liliane stayed in Bradley’s arms as she sobbed. Bradley patted

her back, and a gleam of cruelty shone on his icy face. “I found Esther to test as a match. She might

have higher chances.” “My sister?” Liliane asked in alarm. “Brad, you met my sister?” “She’s got out of

prison. Liliane, she’s your younger sister. Maybe she can be a match.” Liliane hesitated. “But will she

be willing even if she is a match? Didn’t Grandpa Thomas specifically mention in his will that only you

and her child can inherit the Warner Group? Will she…” Bradley answered coldly, “If she refuses, I’ll tie

her up in the operation theater if I have to.” Liliane took a deep breath and said, “As long as she is a

match, I’ll beg her on my knees! She can ask me to do anything as long as she’s willing to save Felix.”

Half a day passed by, and the expedited results of the lab tests came out. The doctor said, thrilled, as

he held the lab’s report, “Mr. Warner, the preliminary tests show that Ms. Esther Quill and Mr. Felix

match. We can move on to the next test.” Liliane asked in delight when she heard that, “Really? Then

what are we waiting for? Let’s go on!”

The doctor hesitated for a few seconds before he said, “Ms. Quill’s asking to see Mr. Warner. She

refuses to proceed with the next test if Mr. Warner doesn’t meet her.” Liliane rushed to the doctor and

asked anxiously, “Where’s she?” “The doctor’s office at the lab department.” Liliane ran off without

waiting for Bradley’s reaction. The doctor and Bradley followed her. Liliane pushed the door open to

see Esther, who was weak and barely surviving. The latter was malnourished, and she looked like she

was dead now that so much of her blood had been taken for the tests. Glee flashed in Liliane’s heart as

she saw Esther like this. However, she adjusted her expression swiftly and fell to her knees before

Esther, begging her meekly, “Sis, please, be Felix’s donor. I can do anything for you as long as you’re

willing to do it.” Esther turned in resentment and mocked Liliane when she heard her voice. “Liliane

Anstey, you did this to me and want me to save your son? I won’t!” Liliane pinched her thigh as hard as

she could, and tears welled in her eyes. With those reddened eyes, she sobbed. “Esther, I know you

hate, begrudge, and blame me. But Felix’s innocent! He’s just a poor child. He doesn’t know anything.”

Esther looked at Bradley, who rushed over, and sneered. “Having a heinous mother like you is his

original sin…” Liliane cried hard, but she cackled deep down. ‘Esther, one day… I hope you remain this

resolute after finding out about Felix’s true birth!’ Liliane lowered her head at Esther in front of Bradley.

As Esther watched the pitiful and lowly Liliane and thought of how arrogant and smug she used to be,

she could not help the emotions she felt when the latter could give up on everything for the sake of her

child. Esther thought she would be willing to do anything for her child if her child was still alive. A hint of

sympathy had just surfaced, but she steeled herself and shook her head in the next moment, inwardly

reminding herself not to be a saint. She had Liliane to thank for ending up like that today. She reminded

herself of her children who had never gotten to see this world… Esther mocked Liliane viciously.

“Liliane, do you know why your child’s ill? It’s your karma! This is all your karma.” Liliane sobbed hard.

“Whatever you say, Esther. I beg you to just please save my son.” Esther gripped Liliane’s jaw and

asked, “And if I ask you to leave Bradley?” “As long as you’re willing to save my son, I’ll take him and

leave.

I won’t appear before you and Bradley again, I promise…” Esther was slightly dazed. At that moment,

Bradley pushed Esther away and carefully helped Liliane, who was on the floor, and passed her to the

nurse. Liliane clutched Bradley’s hand and pleaded, “Brad…” Bradley nodded lightly. She then passed

out in the nurse’s arms in relief. Esther scoffed, looking at Liliane. Bradley pulled a chair over to sit

down in front of Esther. When his thin lips parted, his cold and aloof words felt like poisoned arrows that

shot through Esther’s dejected heart. “Esther, I’ve underestimated your viciousness!” Esther pushed

some stray hair off her face and chuckled. “Bradley, I’m not even the least bit up to Liliane in that

regard.” Liliane had pulled off Thomas’ oxygen mask, yet everyone thought Esther had done it. Bradley

had even sent her to prison because of it and branded her as a wicked woman to the public. “Esther,

other than the position of Mrs. Warner, I can offer you a deal!” Esther smiled. “Do you think I still yearn

for you to this day, Bradley? I’m disgusted once I think of my name being put next to yours…” She

gnashed her teeth. Her initially bright eyes were like a cold, bottomless abyss now. Bradley interrupted

her. “If you refuse to save Felix, I’ll match him with your kids…” Esther was stunned as she questioned

in disbelief, “Kids? What kids!?”
