Chapter 869


    When Paul and Tamara entered the hospital room, Esther was engrossed in aedy movie, her face


    brightening with a happy smile as the plot amused her.


    At that moment, Logan''s parents questioned whether she could be Bradley''s ex-wife, considering how


    lively and beautiful Esther appeared, seemingly unlike before.


    "Esther, these are my parents. They came to see you," Logan reminded her.


    Startled, Esther set down her phone, ready to rise.


    Logan approached and gently held her shoulder. "You''re a patient. No need to tire yourself."


    Paul and Tamara added, "That''s right, just stay seated."


    With a questioning look, Esther asked Logan why he hadn''t informed her earlier. She wasn''t mentally


    prepared at all.


    "Esther, my parents know about your situation," Logan said, sessfully calming her anxious


    emotions.


    Esther instantly felt less nervous. She and Logan were merely ying the roles of a fake couple. If the


    act became too realistic, she worried about facing Logan''s parents after their coboration ended.


    "Don''t worry, Esther. The Fosters have some influence in Capitus. We can protect you."


    Having only given birth to a son, Tamara had always envied those with daughters.


    Little girls were endearing and could wear pretty dresses and different hairstyles as they grew up. The


    mother and daughter could even chat in bed like best friends.


    Unfortunately, due to health reasons, she couldn''t have a daughter of her own.


    Now that Logan had Esther as his fiancee, she naturally wanted to cherish Esther like a daughter.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Thank you, Mrs. Foster."


    Paul cleared his throat, reminding them, "Alright, we''re just here to see you. Logan, take good care of


    her."


    Logan''s parents exchanged nces and left the hospital room together.


    After meeting Esther only once, Paul was already thinking about when to host the engagement party,


    the wedding, and when to have grandchildren.


    -


    Outside the hospital room.


    Paul asked softly, "Should we prepare for their engagement?"


    "Now? Shouldn''t we discuss it with Logan?" Tamara suggested.


    "Why discuss it with him? He''s taking care of Esther in the hospital. We''ll make arrangements for the


    engagement ourselves."


    Tamara said, "True. They just have to attend the engagement party when the timees."


    While Logan remained unaware, his parents were eager to set things in stone, not giving him a chance


    to reconsider.


    -


    In the hospital room.


    Esther sat on the bed, looking at Logan. "How was my performance just now?"


    "Not bad," Logan replied indifferently.


    "Then I''ll take it as apliment," Esther said, pressing y to continue watching the movie.


    Theedy movie had frequentugh-out-loud moments, and Esther burst intoughter.


    Logan took a long look at Esther. He knew Esther''s true identity and was aware of the past between


    her and Bradley.


    Watching Esther like this, he couldn''t help but wonder—would Esther''s life have been this way if she


    hadn''t encountered Bradley?


    A pleasant love could immerse a woman in happiness. However, what Bradley had given Esther was


    endless hurt and suffering.


    Gabriel, Agatha, and Oliver had done the right thing. They helped Estherpletely break free from


    her old identity, giving her a fresh life free from harm.


    Logan''s gaze was too intense. Esther couldn''t help but peel her eyes from the screen. She touched her


    face and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"


    "No."
