As Jasper approached Esther, holding the test report, he chose reason over feelings. Presently, disclosing her pregnancy wouldnât help her mood. Also, the circumstances werenât right for decisions. It was wiser to wait for Felix to leave the operating room.
Jasper subtly tucked the test report into his suit jacketâs pocket and spoke softly. âEsther, the nurse mentioned your test report is fine.â
Oliver raised his gaze, questioning, âWhatâs wrong with Esther?â
âMr. Quill, Esther fainted.â
Oliverâs demeanor cooled. âEsther, your health is crucial. After Felixâs surgery, Iâll take you to Capitus.â
Capitus offered the best care, top doctors, and the Quillsâ support. Bradley wouldnât dare trouble Esther there, at least not easily.
âUncle Oliver, Iâll wait until the divorce lawsuit ends before going to Capitus.â
This place held Estherâs heartache. Ideally, she would never set foot here again.
âSure, weâll wait for the lawsuit.â
Oliver scorned Bradleyâs actions. Had Esther contacted Oliver before returning, Bradley wouldnât have approached her.
Awaiting Felixâs surgery felt endless to Esther, every second an eternity. Oliver and Jasper stood by her side, unwavering.
Meanwhile, Bradley was still blocked by bodyguards downstairs.
âMove! I want to see my son!â
The operating room was less than 100 meters away. But it felt impossible for Bradley to cross.
âMr. Warner, please donât make things difficult for us. We only follow Mr. Quillâs orders. Weâll step aside immediately if Mr. Quill allows you to go up.â
Bradley took out his phone and arrogantly exclaimed, âYou think you can gang up on me because you have more people? Believe me, with one call, I can bring more people here than you.â
âMr. Warner, as long as weâre still breathing, we wonât let you pass.â
Bradley angrily clenched his phone and pointed at the bodyguards blocking him. âJust wait!â
So what if Oliver had brought more people? Did Oliver really think Bradley had no one on his side?
As long as he made a call to the Warner Groupâs security, he could have ten times more people here than these bodyguards.
âHello, itâs me, Bradley. You guys-
Jasper suddenly appeared, interrupting Bradleyâs arrogant threat. His tone was chilling as he said, âBradley, canât you calm down at this point?â
Bradley rushed to Jasper and grabbed his collar, saying in frustration, âJasper, itâs not your son lying in the operating room! Of course you can talk about staying calm! Try having your son in the operating room and then talk about staying calm!â
The bodyguards were about to step forward and intervene to save Jasper, but he gestured to stop them from approaching.
