Chapter 49


    “Uh…” Cole understood what Jasper meant despite his unfinished sentence. Once he thought of


    asking Bradley to wake Esther up, his temples throbbed. “It’s too difficult.”


    “That’s why…” Jasper said sadly, “To a man who doesn’t love her, anything she does is wrong. Her life


    was unworthy of mention to him.”


    “I’ll try.” Cole sighed and said warmly, “I’ll try to persuade Mr. Warner.”


    Jasper took a deep look at Cole and said slowly after a while, “Esther said she has no friends, but if


    you ask me, you’re her friend too.”


    Cole smiled awkwardly. He was not.

    If he had treated Esther as a friend, he would not have hidden the fact that her daughters were still


    alive for five years. How many five years would one have in life?


    Esther’s most beautiful youthful years had been spent in prison. If he had defied Bradley’s orders and


    disclosed to Esther that her daughters were still alive, she might have been released sooner. She might


    even have been able to see Thomas for thest time.


    The small decision Cole had made had changed Esther’s entire life.


    “Cole, this is the hospital under the Warner Group, so you must be more familiar. Could you introduce a


    caregiver to take care of Esther?” Jasper coughed lightly and said with careful consideration, “It’s not


    too appropriate for me to do it since I’m a man.”


    “Okay, leave it to me,” replied Cole.


    He got the list of caregivers from the hospital logistics department. All caregivers who worked in the


    private hospital under the Warner Group had obtained a professional nursing certificate and had


    undergone various checks.


    After all, the patients in this hospital were either rich or powerful. It would not be good if anything went


    wrong due to the caregiver’s behavior.


    Cole selected a female caregiver who was friendly, capable, and had a lively and cheerful personality


    for Esther. After arranging everything, he was about to go to Bradley when he suddenly remembered


    the call he had received from the head of theboratory.


    He took a detour to theboratory.


    The head of theboratory greeted Cole when he saw him from afar. “Mr. Johnston, you’re here!”


    Cole smiled gently and said, “Sorry, something came up suddenly and took some time.”


    “Look at you. You’re the busy man around Mr. Warner. I certainly can understand if you have official


    duties,” theboratory head said, handing two brown paper envelopes to Cole.


    “This one contains what you gave me, and this one is for Mr. Warner.”


    “Okay, thank you.” Cole took the two brown envelopes for DNA paternity testing. “I’ll buy you a meal


    another day.”


    “I’d want good food,” theboratory head said with a smile.


    Cole alsoughed heartily, saying, “Surely enough food and alcohol.”


    “Okay, let’s drink and talk then. You go ahead and carry on with work.”


    “See you around.”


    After bidding farewell to the head of theboratory, Cole took the brown paper envelopes and entered


    the elevator, intending to go to the parking lot. As he was about to press the elevator button, he thought


    of the envelopes in his hand.


    After some thought, he pressed the button for the underground parking lot instead. He found his car


    and unlocked it, then bent down to keep the DNA paternity testing envelope with his surname in the


    car’s password box.


    He turned on his phone, intending to call the director of Sunflower Welfare to ask some questions, but


    he thought it was toote and decided to visit the welfare home himself tomorrow.


    Cole picked up another DNA paternity testing envelope and walked into the elevator from the


    underground parking lot.
