When Paul and Tamara entered the hospital room, Esther was engrossed in a comedy movie, her face brightening with a happy smile as the plot amused her.
At that moment, Logan's parents questioned whether she could be Bradley's ex-wife, considering how lively and beautiful Esther appeared, seemingly unlike before.
"Esther, these are my parents. They came to see you," Logan reminded her.
Startled, Esther set down her phone, ready to rise.
Logan approached and gently held her shoulder. "You're a patient. No need to tire yourself."
Paul and Tamara added, "That's right, just stay seated."
With a questioning look, Esther asked Logan why he hadn't informed her earlier. She wasn't mentally prepared at all.
"Esther, my parents know about your situation," Logan said, successfully calming her anxious emotions.
Esther instantly felt less nervous. She and Logan were merely playing the roles of a fake couple. If the act became too realistic, she worried about facing Logan's parents after their collaboration ended.
"Don't worry, Esther. The Fosters have some influence in Capitus. We can protect you."
Having only given birth to a son, Tamara had always envied those with daughters.
Little girls were endearing and could wear pretty dresses and different hairstyles as they grew up. The mother and daughter could even chat in bed like best friends.
Unfortunately, due to health reasons, she couldn't have a daughter of her own.
Now that Logan had Esther as his fiancee, she naturally wanted to cherish Esther like a daughter.
"Thank you, Mrs. Foster."
Paul cleared his throat, reminding them, "Alright, we're just here to see you. Logan, take good care of her."
Logan's parents exchanged glances and left the hospital room together.
After meeting Esther only once, Paul was already thinking about when to host the engagement party, the wedding, and when to have grandchildren.
