Agatha continued to study Esther. Her eyes welled with tears when she saw the scars on Esther's body.
Kevin couldn't let Agatha continue, so he swiftly retrieved Esther's medical report.
"Dr. Foster, please check Esther's medical report," Kevin said.
Agatha sat down and examined the report. To her surprise, Esther's condition was worse than expected.
Esther had recently improved at her clinic, so why had her condition suddenly deteriorated?
Kevin didn't dare interrupt Agatha's thoughts. He hoped Bradley would realize the seriousness of the situation and stop mistreating Esther.
Esther was pitiful. She was an orphan with no one to care for her.
After Bradley had hidden Esther, the Quills were too busy with the Pendleton matter to search for her. Cleaning up the Pendleton aftermath left them unable to look for her.
Most importantly, no one expected Bradley to treat his wife this way.
"Kevin, let me test your knowledge. Given Esther's deteriorating condition, how long can she live without proper care if she wakes up?" Agatha asked.
Kevin was trained in modern medicine and replied solemnly, "At most, half a year. At least, three months."
His heart trembled as he spoke. The once vibrant young woman now had a limited time.
Love could be so terrifying.
Kevin would rather stay single for life.
