That was because Felix was now a child under his motherâs protection.
âDonât worry, my good boy You and Mommy are safe now,â Esther assured Felix.
Esther and Felix enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. Despite being on a secluded island, they had plenty of breakfast options Considering Felixâs weakened condition, Esther made sure he didnât eat too much, fearing it could cause digestive problems. âFelix, letâs have smaller meals more frequently for now.â
Felix obediently nodded âOkay, Mommy.
With eyes full of love, Esther affectionately stroked Felixâs face and asked, âShould I have the doctor check on you?â
âOkayâ
After the doctor examined Felix and confirmed that he was weak but otherwise fine, he kindly asked, âDid you wake up because your mother arrived, Mr. Felix?â
Felix nodded proudly, his small face beaming âYesâ
âNow that Mr. Felix is awake, I suggest engaging in more physical activities to strengthen his immunity,â
the doctor said.
Following the doctorâs advice, Esther and Felix took a stroll around the island after breakfast.
Other staff members lived on the island, including gardeners responsible for tending to the flowerbeds and professionals dedicated to the farm. They all carried out their duties with dedication and professionalism.
Esther led Felix through the orchard, hand in hand. The air was filled with the fragrance of jackfruits hanging from the trees.
Curious, Felix asked, âMommy, can we eat the fruits from the trees?â
âYes,â Esther indulged him. âWould you like to have some?â
âYes.â
Esther approached the accompanying housekeeper and softly inquired, âMay we pick one?â
âOf course â
The housekeeper contacted the staff through the intercom system, and they brought over a lift. Esther and Felix stood on the lift and personally picked a ripe jackfruit.
âMommy, it smells so good! How do we eat it?â
Esther gently shook her head. âI donât know either.â
The housekeeper chuckled and explained, âYou can watch how we extract the flesh later.â Felixâs bright eyes focused on the housekeeper as he asked, âMaâam, can I do it myself?â
âNo, because you donât have experience and might damage the flesh,â the housekeeper replied As a result, Esther and Felix observed like two curious babies while the staff extracted the fruitâs flesh.
âMr. Felix, please have a taste.â
Felix tried a piece of the jackfruit, and its sweet fragrance made him close his eyes in bliss.
âItâs so delicious.â Felix then fed a piece to Esther and sweetly said, âMommy, you have some too.â
âOkay.â
After enjoying their share, they headed to the seashore to collect seashells.
Amidst the roaring sound of the waves and noticing there was no one else around, Felix cutely asked, âMommy, when are we going to find Daddy?â
