Chapter 15
Esther’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Bradley’s back when he left.
She gritted her teeth. The pain gave her a moment of consciousness, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth following the tape. A tear slowly slid into her hair from the corner of her eye.
It was resentment that supported her as she clearly felt the cold needle push into her bone marrow…
Under the anesthetic effect, the pair of resentful eyes finally closed in helplessness, indignation, and despair.
Bradley held his chest tightly the moment he left the operation ward. He felt as if his heart was stabbed by hundreds and thousands of needles.
Esther’s frenzied words echoed in his mind, and he turned around abruptly to look at the tightly shut doors of the operation ward. He pulled out his phone and instructed hastily, “Cole, get the samples of the twins at Sunflower Welfare to do a paternity test with me right now.”
Cole did not understand why Bradley wanted to do that, but he replied respectfully anyway, “Okay.”
Bradley thought of Esther’s hateful eyes on the table and snickered. He must have lost his mind! He had never even touched Esther-how could she carry his children?
Asexual reproduction!?
He fished out his phone again to send Cole a text.
[No need to do it.]
He had nearly swayed because of the crazy woman’s words.
Esther was crazy enough to harm his grandfather. She could definitely lie through her teeth in order to save the b*stards.
Those b*stards could never be his children!
Bradley suppressed the agitation and looked at Felix in the operation ward. His thin lips were pressed into a line, and his clenched jaw hinted at his anxiousness.
His tall body tensed like a string pulled taut as if he would break anytime.
The digits of the clock on the wall of the operation ward kept blinking.
Everyone in the operating ward looked grim as they did their best to complete the difficult operation. Everyone only had the same thought-the surgery must be successful.
Cole looked at Bradley’s text on his phone and was conflicted for a few seconds before he went to the hospital where Tinkerbell was in.
Since Bradley suspected her birth, a paternity test would solve the mystery.
“Good evening, Mr. Searle.” Cole respectfully greeted Jasper, whose forehead was dressed with gauze. Jasper glanced at him coldly and scoffed. “What? Bradley sent you here to check if I’m dead?”
Cole explained awkwardly, “You must be joking. Mr. Warner was worried about Mr. Felix. I believe you’d understand a father’s love for his son…”
Jasper snorted and ignored Cole. Instead, he looked at Tinkerbell, whom the doctors were trying to
save.
“Cole, Esther says that Tinkerbell’s her and Bradley’s child. Do you believe it?”
Cole looked shocked, wondering if that was true.
Jasper’s gaze landed on Tinkerbell’s lifeless face, and he said slowly, “I believe it. You and I both know how much Esther loved Bradley. Mr. Thomas knew it too. He didn’t believe that she would cheat on him till his death. Do you believe that she’d betray him?”
