Chapter 727


    Felix''s small hand encircled Esther''s neck, and her heartbeat gradually returned to its normal rhythm.


    At that moment, a saying came to Agatha''s mind. ''Women may seem weak, but they show great


    strength as mothers.''


    Esther managed to pull through from the brink of death. With Felix by her side, her condition improved


    significantly. However, as a doctor, Agatha could see that Esther was delicate, like a tightly wound


    string that could snap with the slightest disturbance.


    Word of Esther''s awakening spread, and those who cared for her, like Kevin, Xara, and Oliver, rejoiced.


    Upon hearing the news of Esther''s recovery, Bradley immediately wished to visit her. Although Esther


    was at the Warner Group''s private hospital, the bodyguards stationed at the ICU prevented him from


    entering. He needed Agatha''s approval to see her.


    As Esther regained consciousness, she began to recover slowly. She kissed Felix''s forehead and


    tenderly stroked his hair, overwhelmed by guilt. She believed her strained rtionship with Bradley had

    caused his psychogenic mutism.


    "Felix, Mommy needs some water."


    Felix sat up and obediently poured a ss for Esther. Holding it in her hands, she took small sips.


    Although it was in water, it tasted bitter to her.


    "Esther, are you feeling better today?" Xara entered with Sunshine.


    As Sunshine spotted Esther, she rushed over and called out sweetly, "Mommy."


    "Sunshine."


    Esther held Sunshine''s little hand. Sunshine looked at Esther with bright, sparkling eyes and spoke


    tenderly. "Mommy, you have to get better soon."


    "I''ll do my best."


    Sunshine said, "I''ll cheer for you, Mommy."


    Xara nced at Felix, feeling sympathetic. She now truly understood Esther''s situation. The strained


    rtionship between parents could profoundly impact their children, such as Jacob''s illness and Felix''s


    psychogenic mutism.


    "Sunshine, why don''t you and Felix y for a while?" Xara suggested.


    Sunshine nodded and walked over to Felix, taking his hand. "Felix, let''s go y outside."


    Felix nced at Esther, who smiled gently and said softly, "Go ahead. Mommy will be here."


    After the two children left, Xara pulled up a chair and sat in front of Esther. She asked seriously,


    "Esther, what are your ns?"


    Esther remained silent.


    Xara continued. "I understand my words might seem trivial as an outsider, and I might not fully grasp


    your perspective. But, Esther, I consider you a friend, and I hope you can consider me one too. Let''s


    have an open conversation."


    Agatha had asked Xara to speak with Esther, knowing that she often hid her thoughts and feelings.
