"Shall we play a game?" Bradley asked.
Felix shook his head, and Bradley's expression noticeably darkened.
Felix pulled out his tablet, and his chubby fingers danced lightly on the screen. He showed Bradley the words he typed, who glanced at them, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.
Felix: [I won't follow you back.]
Felix, Sunshine, and Jacob had discussed it and unanimously decided that Felix wouldn't go with Bradley. They feared Bradley would use Felix as a hostage to threaten Esther again.
Bradley forced a smile, speaking coldly. "Felix, you're my son. What's the meaning of staying with the Sandersons?
"How do you want others to see me? That I can't even afford to raise my own son?"
Bradley couldn't control his anger. Each word he uttered made Felix feel an urge to stand up and escape Bradley's sight.
Felix: [My father isn't like you.]
Felix: [My father loves me. He's gentle and doesn't lash out.]
Felix: [Give me my father back!]
For Felix, his memory of his father was the one who had been seeking medical treatment everywhere for his illness. At that time, Bradley hadn't known whether Felix's surgery would succeed or how long Felix could live. As such, he would stay by Felix's side all the time!
At some point, his gentle and elegant father turned into a violent lion.
As Felix typed, Bradley felt an indescribable pain spreading in his heart reading each word!
He looked deeply at Felix, stood up, and left without a word.
