Chapter 460

With all that said, Esther was just too weak. She had falsely assumed that even if Bradley took Felix, even if he used Felix to threaten her, she wouldn’t be scared as long as she resisted his demands.

Despite Esther’s thoughts, she never expected Felix to leap out of the car to prevent her from worrying.

“Felix, let Mommy tell you something.” Esther’s eyes were filled with glistening tears. Choking up, she said, “You are Mommy’s precious gift from heaven. Mommy loves you the most-more than anything.”

“Mommy, I love you the most, most, most, too.”

The ambulance arrived at the hospital, and medical staff swarmed toward them.

Esther gripped Felix’s hand and sent him to the entrance of the operating room.

“Felix, Mommy will be waiting for you outside the operating room.”

“Okay.”

Esther’s legs gave in as the operating room doors closed firmly, and she crumbled onto the chilly floor.

She lost all control, clutching her mouth, and let out anguished cries.

The doctors and nurses were already accustomed to scenes like this outside the operating room.

A kind-hearted person handed Esther a tissue and comforted her, “Miss, things have already happened. Crying won’t solve anything. Instead of crying here in anguish, praying might be more effective.”

“Thank you.”

The kind-hearted person’s reminder helped Esther brush away her tears. She knelt on the floor, hands clasped, silently praying. She was ready to live as a vegetarian forever if it meant Felix’s safety.

After getting the bodyguard’s message, Jasper rushed over and found Esther kneeling outside the operating room.

“Esther, the floor’s cold. Get up first,” he said.

Esther told him tearfully, “Don’t talk me out of it, Jasper.”

Seeing Esther’s devout pleading reminded Jasper of the day Tinkerbell passed away. He suppressed his frustration and spoke softly. “Esther, I get how you feel, but consider this. Apart from finding solace, what else will change by you kneeling here? You’re not a doctor. You can’t save Felix. Plus, even after Felix exits the operating room, he’ll still depend on you for his care.”

“Jasper, I just hope Felix is safe.”

Esther stubbornly refused to get up. She only hoped God would hear her plea. She did not want what happened to Tinkerbell to happen to Felix. She wanted him alive-even if it was at the expense of her own life.

“I’m not here to persuade you. I just want to tell you that from the time Felix had his accident. until now, Bradley hasn’t appeared. You view Felix as your everything, but he views Felix as just a way to control you. If he had been a bit attentive, he wouldn’t have overlooked Felix leaping out of the car. As you kneel here, are you okay with leaving Felix in Bradley’s care if you get sick?”

Esther was at a loss, asking, “Jasper, what should I do?”

Jasper helped Esther to her feet and advised gently, “What you need to do now is wait for Felix to come out. Let’s imagine the best outcome: that Felix is safe and sound. But if something does happen to Felix, as his mother, you must find the best doctors for him.

“Also, you need to prepare yourself mentally. Don’t you think Bradley will blame you for everything upon learning of Felix’s accident?”

Esther closed her eyes. Her heart felt as if countless hands were tearing it apart.

Jasper’s heart ached, and he wanted nothing more than to hug Esther, but he had to keep his distance.

Esther was not divorced yet, so it was inappropriate for a bachelor like him to be too close to her. He must not give even a hint of an excuse for Bradley to attack Esther what happened to Tinkerbell to happen to Felix. She wanted him alive-even if it was at the expense of her own life.
