Chapter 724


    "Yes."


    Agatha pondered Esther''s situation over the years and realized she had never had anyone to protect


    her. Confirming Esther''s identity would make Bradley think twice about mistreating her, as he had done


    before.


    "Then, let''s go ahead with the DNA test."


    Agatha personally gathered samples from Oliver and Esther and sent them to theboratory for


    analysis. She took care not to use their real names for this DNA test, following the standard procedure


    without any special arrangements.


    -


    While Agatha and Oliver awaited the DNA test results, Bradley had arranged for various experts to visit


    the private hospital under the Warner Group. A child psychologist diagnosed Felix''s condition,


    concluding that he was experiencing psychogenic mutism.


    "Does this mean my son won''t be able to speak from now on?" Upon hearing the diagnosis, Bradley''s


    demeanor changed dramatically, and he red at the high-priced specialist he had hired.


    "Mr. Warner, it''s psychogenic mutism, a temporary speech loss due to psychological causes. With the


    right treatment, all problems can be resolved."


    Bradley''s eyes sparkled with hope. "Then, provide the correct treatment."


    The child psychologist said, "I''m sorry, but I can''t help."

    Before Bradley could react, Kevin asked, "Aren''t you a psychologist? Why can''t you assist?"


    "Your son strongly resists me and my treatment. Even though I''m a child psychologist, I can''t help


    someone who doesn''t trust me. Psychological issues can beplex, and I suggest you find a


    therapist your son feelsfortable with."


    Several more psychology experts reached the same conclusion.


    Bradley, barely holding himself together, felt the urge to throw these ipetent individuals into shark-


    infested waters.


    "Bradley, if these psychologists can''t assist, our best option may be to seek help from Xara," Kevin


    suggested.


    Xara was a professional psychologist whom Felix trusted, making her treatment likely to be more


    effective.


    "Let''s postpone this discussion forter."


    Bradley concealed his turbulent emotions and coldly nced at Felix, who refused tomunicate


    with him.


    As he attempted to approach Felix, Kevin blocked his path.


    "Bradley."


    "Step aside," Bradleymanded.


    Kevin sternly reminded him, "Have you forgotten why Felix became ill? It''s because of you! You''ve


    been continuously mistreating his mother in his presence. Do you understand how traumatic that is for


    someone so young?


    "If you persist in this manner… If you continue to torture Esther until she can''t bear it any longer and


    Felix goes insane because of you, will you be content?"


    "Step aside!"


    Kevin refused to yield.


    Bradley pushed Kevin aside, causing him to stumble.


    "Felix, stop pretending to be mute! I''ll give you until the count of three. If you persist in this pretense, I''ll


    separate you from your mother, and you''ll never see her again."
