Felix replied softly, âOkay, Mommyyy!â
âWhat a good boy.â
Agatha extended her hand and patted Estherâs shoulder, her voice gentle. âEsther, wait for me outside while I assess Felixâs recovery.â
âSure.â Esther wiped away tears of joy and rose quietly from her seat.
âSon, Mommy will be right outside. Be good, okay?â
Felix hummed sweetly.
Esther emerged from the room, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Felix through the glass wall.
Agatha performed a postoperative check on Felix. His recovery surpassed expectations because of his youth and Agathaâs surgical expertise.
âYou can arrange for him to be transferred to a regular ward.â
âOf course, Dr. Foster.â
Agatha gently touched Felixâs face and whispered, âYouâre such a good boy. Once youâre in the regular ward, youâll be able to see your mother.â
âOkay!â
Exiting the ICU, Agatha reassured, âEsther, Felixâs progress is much better than I anticipated. You can be at ease now.â
âThank you, Grandma Foster.â
Esther could not hold back her emotions and embraced Agatha. When the hospital issued the critical illness notice, she almost went insane. But now, with Felix awake, it was as if her world had been refreshed after a storm.
âSilly girl!â Agatha said with a hint of indifference, âIf you carry love and emotions lightly, your life will become a beautiful journey.â
Certain individuals were fortunate to discover a love that could mend them for a lifetime. Yet, others were less lucky, wrestling with the complexities of love and struggling to find the right person.
âOkay.â
Agathaâs voice carried a gentle tone. âFelix will soon be transferred to a regular ward. You should decorate the room with his beloved books and toys. Given his condition, heâll likely remain hospitalized for at least a week.â
âOkay.â
Esther left the hospital feeling incredibly happy, and her bodyguards followed closely behind. When she got back to Primus Mansion, she started gathering Felixâs things.
When the news reached the property manager, they personally asked about Felixâs condition. After that, Esther told Melinda to take care of bringing meals to the hospital each day. She would give Melinda a menu in advance and explain what needed to be done. The main concern was making sure the food followed any dietary restrictions Felix might have after surgery. Once everything was ready, Esther and her bodyguards left the underground garage. Estherâs heart tightened as they went past the spot where Felix had gotten hurt.
Even though the cleaning staff had removed all the blood, a feeling that couldnât be erased lingered in her heart. It was a reminder that some things couldnât be completely cleaned away. Not long after they left Primus Mansion, the driver noticed a black sedan following them consistently.
âWeâre being followed.â
Esther subconsciously turned to look in the distance, spotting Bradley in a low-profile black Volvo trailing their car.
âIgnore it. Itâs Bradley.â
The bodyguards tensed further upon hearing Bradleyâs name. His behavior had proven to be entirely unpredictable, and based on past encounters, they were wary about any engagement with him.
The driver instinctively pressed on the gas pedal, maneuvering through traffic. They finally released a sigh of relief only when the black Volvo disappeared from the rearview mirror.
When Esther reached the hospital, Felix had already been moved to a regular ward.
