Chapter 371

Esther was filled with endless resistance at the thought of having to call Bradley. She looked at Felix for a long moment before asking, “Can we go see Pixie now?”

“You need to wait for the DNA maternity test result before you can see Pixie,” the staff member replied.

Esther’s exhausted mind and body felt light and joyful at the news. “When will the DNA maternity test result be ready?” she asked.

“Three working days,” the staff member replied.

“Does that mean I can see Pixie three days later?”

“Yes,” the staff member said, her expression softening at Esther’s eagerness. “However, before the rest of the procedures are completed, you can only see her from a distance.”

Esther had flown halfway across the world to find her daughter and didn’t want to wait any longer.

“Once the DNA maternity test proves that Pixie is my daughter, shouldn’t I be able to take her with me immediately? Why should I only be able to see her from a distance? She’s my daughter. Why can’t I be close to her?” she asked.

“Ms. Quill, I understand your feelings, but please understand us too. We have our procedures. If anyone claimed to be Pixie’s mother without any verification, do you think that would be responsible for the child? We also hope that each child can have a complete family and a happy childhood,” the staff member answered.

“So, even if the DNA maternity test proves that Pixie is my daughter, I still can’t take her with me immediately?”

“That’s right. You’ll need a declaration from the other party giving up parental rights. Otherwise, if you and your ex-husband haven’t reached an agreement, we’ll be in a difficult position when he comes to us for Pixie one day.”

Esther understood the various requirements of Maria Church, but she was particularly annoyed because it involved Bradley. If it weren’t for Felix being there, she would have just claimed that Bradley was dead!

“I understand. I’ll prepare all the required documents within these three days.” Esther took a deep breath. She had to give in to the church’s regulations. “As long as I have all the documents and the DNA maternity test confirms that Pixie is my daughter, I can take her with me three days later, right?”

The church staff looked at Esther and said, “In principle, that’s correct. However, if Pixie is unwilling to part from her adoptive family, we need to consider her psychological condition.”

Esther was convinced that this would not be the case. How could her Pixie not want to be with her?

“In any case, you’ll tell me Pixie’s whereabouts as long as I bring all the documents, right?”

“Yes.”

With such a definite answer from the church’s staff, Esther stopped pursuing the issue.

“Then please tell me all the required documents now. I’ll make a list.”

Esther took out paper and a pen from her bag and diligently recorded the name of each required document as the staff spoke. She had to remember all the requirements so that she wouldn’t be turned away again due to incomplete documentation.

“Alright, see you in three days.”

As Esther left Maria Church, her steps became much lighter, and her face was much brighter. In contrast, Felix seemed somewhat gloomy.

Sunshine approached Felix and softly asked, “Felix, are you afraid that Pixie will take away all your affection?”

“No way!” Felix quickly refuted. “I really want to find Pixie quickly.”
