Felix's small hand encircled Esther's neck, and her heartbeat gradually returned to its normal rhythm.
At that moment, a saying came to Agatha's mind. 'Women may seem weak, but they show great strength as mothers.'
Esther managed to pull through from the brink of death. With Felix by her side, her condition improved significantly. However, as a doctor, Agatha could see that Esther was delicate, like a tightly wound string that could snap with the slightest disturbance.
Word of Esther's awakening spread, and those who cared for her, like Kevin, Xara, and Oliver, rejoiced.
Upon hearing the news of Esther's recovery, Bradley immediately wished to visit her. Although Esther was at the Warner Group's private hospital, the bodyguards stationed at the ICU prevented him from entering. He needed Agatha's approval to see her.
As Esther regained consciousness, she began to recover slowly. She kissed Felix's forehead and tenderly stroked his hair, overwhelmed by guilt. She believed her strained relationship with Bradley had caused his psychogenic mutism.
"Felix, Mommy needs some water."
Felix sat up and obediently poured a glass for Esther. Holding it in her hands, she took small sips. Although it was plain water, it tasted bitter to her.
"Esther, are you feeling better today?" Xara entered with Sunshine.
As Sunshine spotted Esther, she rushed over and called out sweetly, "Mommy."
"Sunshine."
