Chapter 249

Kevin looked at Esther’s hypocritical expression with disgust and mocked, “Esther, you must wish for Felix to have an accident more than anyone in this world!”

“Kevin, Felix is my son!” Esther screamed in despair, filled with anguish. “How could I bear to see my son die? I’d rather be the one in danger! I’d rather be the one buried in the sea…”

Kevin couldn’t help but snicker at Esther’s expression. If he weren’t bound by his duty as a doctor to save lives, he would prefer Esther to die now and atone for Thomas’ sake.

It was so ironic and ridiculous that a woman as wicked and malicious as Esther would pretend to be so devastated by Felix’s death.

“Esther Quill, before you start fabricating stories, please pay attention to logic. You and Bradley never had sex. How did you give birth to Felix? Besides, when Felix was born, you were still in prison. Can you explain how Liliane managed to secretly sneak baby Felix out of prison without anyone noticing?

“I think you’re the one responsible for Felix’s accident. You’re jealous that Brad is marrying Liliane, so you’ll do anything to separate them!”

Kevin’s words were like sharp knives, mercilessly piercing Esther’s heart.

She clutched her chest in pain and looked at Bradley in despair, her hopes shattered. “Bradley, if you don’t trust anyone else, at least trust Kevin. Let him do a DNA test. Let the evidence tell you whose child Felix is!”

Bradley loosened his grip on Esther’s neck, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as the undercurrent.

He spoke with a blank face. “Esther, you’re the one responsible for Felix’s accident.”

Esther stared at Bradley in shock as if struck by lightning. She wanted to argue but realized she had no grounds for rebuttal.

Yes.

She was the one responsible for Felix’s accident.

She shouldn’t have pretended to have amnesia after discovering that Felix was her son. She should have resorted to stealing, kidnapping, and using any means necessary to take Felix away.

It was her foolish delusion that had harmed Felix.

“Bradley, you’re right. It’s all my fault.” Esther looked at Bradley tearfully and uttered each word with despair, “I’m the one at fault. Why should Felix be the one in trouble? Bradley, even if the whole world believes that something happened to Felix, as parents, we shouldn’t give up hope. If we give up too…”

Bradley closed his eyes tightly and opened them again after a moment. In his bloodshot eyes, a raging anger surged.

He took out the leather shoe he had salvaged from the sea and threw it into Esther’s arms. Take a good look at whose shoe this is.”

Esther hurriedly picked up the shoe beside her and carefully examined it inside and out.

This was the leather shoe Felix had worn this morning. She had personally chosen the pair for him.

Felix’s shoes didn’t have obvious brand logos because they were custom-made. The inside of these shoes also had the word “Warner” engraved, a hidden embossing that indicated their status, which could also be found on Bradley and Felix’s clothes.

“Esther, look out for yourself” Bradley dropped those emotionless words and walked out of the bedroom.

Kevin caught up with him and urgently asked, “Why is Esther claiming that Felix is her son? Isn’t Felix Liliane’s child?”

“No.”

Bradley’s temples throbbed harshly, and he was barely holding on.

Deep down, he knew the chances of Felix being alive were slim, but… how could he not hold onto a glimmer of hope in his heart as well? He, more than anyone in the world, hoped for a miracle.

“No? Felix isn’t Liliane’s child? How is that possible?”
