Chapter 729


    Estherprehended Xara''s words and hesitated before replying, "I can''t risk it."


    Shecked the courage to gamble and ce her trust in Bradley''s methods. She held firm to her belief


    that Bradley was a man capable of anything.


    "Why won''t you dare?" Xara scoffed, her confidence unwavering. "Esther, your circumstances are


    different from mine back then. My situation spiraled because I had no support, but you''re not alone.


    You have the Quills and Dr. Foster. No matter how unhinged Bradley is, he can''t escape thew


    entirely. You''ve got people who care about you, who love you.


    "Don''t you want to live your life the right way? Most importantly, if you keep letting Bradley threaten


    you, Felix''s mental state will deteriorate. He''s just a child. He shouldn''t endure all of this."


    Esther asked, "But what if Bradley actually harms my daughters?"


    "Esther, if Bradley is willing to harm his own daughters, do you think there''s any decency left in a man


    like him? You need to find your own strength. Enough not to fear Bradley and keep him in check,


    preventing him from doing as he pleases."


    Xaraforted Esther with a pat on her shoulder and said, "Reflect on it."


    After Xara departed, Esther was gued by self-doubt.


    Were her daughters truly in Bradley''s hands? Could it be that Bradley was deceiving her? But why


    would he manipte her by using their daughters? After all, they were his own flesh and blood. What


    was his motive?


    A series of questions swirled in Esther''s mind, rendering her trapped in abyrinth, a maze of


    uncertainty with no apparent escape.


    In an attempt to divert her thoughts, Esther called Felix and Sunshine back to her side. They engaged


    in ytime, bonding over a board game.


    As time passed, their interest waned, and they switched to watching cartoons. Eventually, Sunshine


    and Felix drifted off to sleep.


    Esther gazed at her peacefully slumbering children and found her courage slowly welling up. She no


    longer feared death but couldn''t bear the thought of Felix and Sunshine growing up motherless. She


    had once already tasted death. This time, she would battle for her children.


    Determined, Esther retrieved her phone and dialed Jasper.


    In her world, there were only two friends she could rely on—Xara and Jasper. Xara might be unfamiliar


    with the local terrain, but Jasper possessed the connections she needed. She required Jasper''s help to


    dig into their shared past and uncover the truth.


    If Shane had managed to rescue Leah and take Felix away from the prison hospital, then where had


    her two daughters vanished to?

    Half an hourter, Jasper appeared in Esther''s hospital room, and her eyes couldn''t believe what they


    saw.


    "Jasper."


    Jasper stood there in a sharp suit, his hair immactely styled, as always. However, his entire aura


    had undergone a great transformation. He clutched a sandalwood rosary, and as soon as he entered


    the room, Esther sensed a gentle, soothing fragrance wafting in the air.


    "Esther."
