    “The truth is, Mr. Felix isn’t in a vegetative state,” the doctor exined earnestly. “He woke up several


    times during his treatment, although the awakenings were brief. Due to his fever. and prolonged time in


    the sea, he developed pediatric pneumonia. We’re treating him, and we expect him to recover soon.”


    Upon seeing Felix, Esther had already prepared herself for the worst. She had thought he was in a


    for joy andfort.


    “Thank you, doctor,” Esther said.


    “It’s my duty,” the doctor replied gently.


    With that, the doctor and the housekeeper quietly left Esther and Felix to reunite, exiting the


    room.


    Esther held Felix’s small hand inside the room and gently caressed his face, speaking softly.” Felix, it’s

    Mommy. Mommy has found you. You scared Mommy to death.”


    Even though finding Felix was a happy asion, tears continued to stream down Esther’s face. No, to


    be precise, they were tears of joy.


    The housekeeper and the doctor listened to the sound of weepinging from the room and


    exchanged silent nces before returning to their respective quarters,


    Felix was well cared for by the housekeeper and others. His hair was clean, and there was no trace of


    any odor. His clothes were changed regrly, and a faint scent of disinfectant and fruits lingered in the

    Esthery beside him carefully, supporting her chin with one hand as she watched over him. She was

    The soft lighting illuminated Felix’s fair face. Esther lightly patted him as she hummed a children’s


    song.


    Unintentionally, her eyes grew heavy, and she fell asleep by Felix’s side. In truth, Esther had never had


    a restful night’s sleep since Felix’s ident. She was gued by dreams of Felix calling out to her as


    he submerged in the cold seawater.


    He would say, “Mommy, I’m cold.”


    Nightmares continued to haunt her. Each time she woke from a nightmare, she had to confront the


    unpredictable Bradley. She was physically and mentally drained.


    Now, seeing Felix alive and breathing right before her, she could finally let go of her guard. and


    peacefully drift off to sleep.

    Even after witnessing her leap into the sea, he stubbornly believed it was another one of her schemes.


    He refused to ept that she would take her own life.


    Kevin returned to Warner Manor from Jasper’s ce and nced at the kneeling maid on the


    floor. He spoke with a serious expression. “Bradley, Mr. Searle is making arrangements for Esther’s


    funeral.”


    Bradley’s presence emitted an icy coldness as he sat on the leather sofa. He raised an eyebrow and


    sneered. “What right does he have to hold Esther’s funeral?”


    Kevin remained silent.
