Gabriel nodded approvingly at Esther. "Well done. By the way, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Follow me."
He led Esther into a conference room, contemplating how they used to believe protecting her involved sheltering her, like a delicate flower shielded from life's hardships.
Now, Gabriel was no longer shackled to such an approach. He hoped Esther could carve her own path.
"Esther, you've probably heard some details from Logan. Currently, there's an opportunity. If you pass the assessment, you can be directly recruited as Logan's official partner. Would you like that?"
Without hesitation, Esther said, "Yes."
"This path is very dangerous, and there's a possibility you might sacrifice your life, just like your father did. Are you still willing to do it?"
For some reason, as Gabriel heard Esther agree, he felt a twinge of relief but also a hint of reluctance deep within. He knew that if Esther didn't choose such a perilous profession, she could lead a very happy life relying solely on the medical skills inherited from Agatha.
"Yes." Esther took a deep breath, her gaze calm. "When is the assessment?"
"Tomorrow."
"Grandpa Gabriel, rest assured, I'll definitely pass the assessment..."
