Chapter 291
All the events from five years ago remained a thorn in Bradley’s heart, their painful reminders growing deeper with time, constantly pricking at him. Their grandfather’s will stated that Esther and Bradley’s child would inherit the Warner Group, further fueling Bradley’s frustration.
Rubbing his temples in frustration upon hearing the will’s core content, Kevin analyzed Thomas’ motives. “Bradley, have you considered that Grandpa Thomas trusted Esther’s character and continued searching for the truth after the video was exposed?”
Kevin slowly questioned, “Could it be that if I had suggested a DNA paternity test between you and the child in Esther’s womb at that time, perhaps Grandpa Thomas wouldn’t have had the accident?
“Bradley, Esther’s responsibility for the accident isn’t the only factor at play here. Our arrogance played a role in his tragedy as well.”
Acknowledging his own mistakes and highlighting Bradley’s faults, Kevin pleaded, “Bradley, think about Esther’s five years in prison, separated from her child. Consider the experiences she endured there. Even after her release, she faced constant challenges. You’ve lost your son, and Esther has lost hers too. You-”
“Get out!” Bradley coldly interrupted.
Kevin refused to back down, continuing to express his viewpoint despite Bradley’s anger. Bradley, wake up. Even if Esther is pregnant now, the child she carries won’t be Felix!”
Bradley’s menacing gaze fell upon Kevin, who felt his heart tremble but persisted. “Felix is gone, and he wouldn’t want you to treat Esther like this. Even if she is guilty, even if her crimes are unforgivable, the law has already sentenced her. She doesn’t need a lifetime of imprisonment from you!”
“Get out!”
As Kevin faced Bradley’s anger, his heart pounded. He almost said something else but held back, ultimately leaving the study. On his way out, he encountered the nurse.
“How is she?” Kevin inquired.
The nurse bit her lip, sympathy evident in her expression. “She has both old and new injuries. Dr. Slade, her situation is so pitiful.”
The nurse had never witnessed such a tragically unfortunate woman-imprisoned, deprived of freedom, and constantly monitored by surveillance cameras. She had also experienced the consecutive loss of both a son and a daughter. How could one person’s life be so filled with tragedy? It seemed as if the storms of the world were solely pouring down on her.
“You stay at Warner Manor and make sure she receives her medication,” Kevin instructed. before driving away.
Glancing at the imposing mansion in his rearview mirror, he couldn’t help but reminisce. The manor was brimming with laughter and warmth when Thomas was still alive. Now? It resembled a brooding monster that had devoured everything, leaving only darkness in its wake.
