"I want Esther to live," Bradley whispered, suppressing his inner restlessness. "I want her to live."
Looking at Bradley's sullen face, Agatha said coldly, "I don't sense your sincerity."
Without hesitation, Bradley knelt before her.
Witnessing this, Felix and Sunshine also knelt before Agatha.
Agatha said tauntingly, "If you genuinely wish for her survival, then kneel here until she emerges from the operating room."
Kevin remained silent and guided Agatha into the operating room.
As the elder brother, Jacob approached Felix and Sunshine, extending his authority over the two.
"Felix and Sunshine, sit and wait," he said.
Jacob's commanding presence convinced them to obediently take their seats beside him.
Bradley continued kneeling outside the operating room, creating a solemn and quiet atmosphere in the corridor as if time had decelerated. They collectively hoped for a life-saving miracle and silently prayed for the Grim Reaper to relent.
The once arrogant and unchallenged Bradley had now descended from his divine pedestal, driven solely by his love for a woman. He had transformed from an untouchable deity into a love-stricken man.
Filled with despair, Kevin gazed at Esther's lifeless face under the surgical light. He didn't understand what Esther had endured during her captivity with Bradley, but he did know that without Bradley's dangerous helicopter flight, Esther would have died.
"Dr. Foster, I was wrong," Kevin confessed, taking a deep breath. "So... can she... survive?"
"Considering her condition, even if she regains consciousness, she will be barely clinging to life. Unless she receives proper rehabilitation, how long can she really endure?"
Kevin lowered his head in silence. Esther's physical condition was even worse than he had anticipated. It was akin to a video game where each attack drained a character's health. Esther's situation mirrored this, with her immune system teetering on the brink of collapse.
Her psychological state was likely equally fragile due to her captivity by Bradley. In this state, could she truly survive?
