My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 724

"Yes."

Agatha pondered Esther's situation over the years and realized she had never had anyone to protect her. Confirming Esther's identity would make Bradley think twice about mistreating her, as he had done before.

"Then, let's go ahead with the DNA test."

Agatha personally gathered samples from Oliver and Esther and sent them to the laboratory for analysis. She took care not to use their real names for this DNA test, following the standard procedure without any special arrangements.

While Agatha and Oliver awaited the DNA test results, Bradley had arranged for various experts to visit the private hospital under the Warner Group. A child psychologist diagnosed Felix's condition, concluding that he was experiencing psychogenic mutism.

"Does this mean my son won't be able to speak from now on?" Upon hearing the diagnosis, Bradley's demeanor changed dramatically, and he glared at the high-priced specialist he had hired.

"Mr. Warner, it's psychogenic mutism, a temporary speech loss due to psychological causes. With the right treatment, all problems can be resolved."

Bradley's eyes sparkled with hope. "Then, provide the correct treatment."

The child psychologist said, "I'm sorry, but I can't help."

Before Bradley could react, Kevin asked, "Aren't you a psychologist? Why can't you assist?"

"Your son strongly resists me and my treatment. Even though I'm a child psychologist, I can't help someone who doesn't trust me. Psychological issues can be complex, and I suggest you find a therapist your son feels comfortable with."

Several more psychology experts reached the same conclusion.

Kevin sternly reminded him, "Have you forgotten why Felix became ill? It's because of you! You've been continuously mistreating his mother in his presence. Do you understand how traumatic that is for someone so young?

"If you persist in this manner… If you continue to torture Esther until she can't bear it any longer and Felix goes insane because of you, will you be content?"

"Step aside!"

Kevin refused to yield.

Bradley pushed Kevin aside, causing him to stumble.

"Felix, stop pretending to be mute! I'll give you until the count of three. If you persist in this pretense, I'll separate you from your mother, and you'll never see her again."
