All the events from five years ago remained a thorn in Bradleyâs heart, their painful reminders growing deeper with time, constantly pricking at him. Their grandfatherâs will stated that Esther and Bradleyâs child would inherit the Warner Group, further fueling Bradleyâs frustration.
Rubbing his temples in frustration upon hearing the willâs core content, Kevin analyzed Thomasâ
motives. âBradley, have you considered that Grandpa Thomas trusted Estherâs character and continued searching for the truth after the video was exposed?â
Kevin slowly questioned, âCould it be that if I had suggested a DNA paternity test between you and the child in Estherâs womb at that time, perhaps Grandpa Thomas wouldnât have had the accident?
âBradley, Estherâs responsibility for the accident isnât the only factor at play here. Our arrogance played a role in his tragedy as well.â
Acknowledging his own mistakes and highlighting Bradleyâs faults, Kevin pleaded, âBradley, think about Estherâs five years in prison, separated from her child. Consider the experiences she endured there.
Even after her release, she faced constant challenges. Youâve lost your son, and Esther has lost hers too. You-â
âGet out!â Bradley coldly interrupted.
Kevin refused to back down, continuing to express his viewpoint despite Bradleyâs anger. Bradley, wake up. Even if Esther is pregnant now, the child she carries wonât be Felix!â
Bradleyâs menacing gaze fell upon Kevin, who felt his heart tremble but persisted. âFelix is gone, and he wouldnât want you to treat Esther like this. Even if she is guilty, even if her crimes are unforgivable, the law has already sentenced her. She doesnât need a lifetime of imprisonment from you!â
âGet out!â
As Kevin faced Bradleyâs anger, his heart pounded. He almost said something else but held back, ultimately leaving the study. On his way out, he encountered the nurse.
âHow is she?â Kevin inquired.
The nurse bit her lip, sympathy evident in her expression. âShe has both old and new injuries. Dr.
Slade, her situation is so pitiful.â
The nurse had never witnessed such a tragically unfortunate woman-imprisoned, deprived of freedom, and constantly monitored by surveillance cameras. She had also experienced the consecutive loss of both a son and a daughter. How could one personâs life be so filled with tragedy? It seemed as if the storms of the world were solely pouring down on her.
âYou stay at Warner Manor and make sure she receives her medication,â Kevin instructed. before driving away.
Glancing at the imposing mansion in his rearview mirror, he couldnât help but reminisce. The manor was brimming with laughter and warmth when Thomas was still alive. Now? It resembled a brooding monster that had devoured everything, leaving only darkness in its wake.
Anna drove alone toward Warner Manor. However, the mansionâs gates remained tightly shut without Bradleyâs permission. The security guards promptly informed Bradley of Annaâs arrival.
âMr. Warner, thereâs a Ms. Anna here to visit Madam.â
âDeny her entry.â
