Kevin stared in disbelief at the unusual behavior of Bradley. Something seemed off. How could Bradley display such an attitude?
Just as Kevin struggled to comprehend Bradley's behavior, he heard Bradley continue. "It's okay even if you broke your legs."
He didn't say it aloud, but the unspoken words lingered: 'As long as you're alive.'
"I'll take care of you," Bradley added.
Esther side-eyed him and sarcastically remarked, "Bradley Warner, have you become addicted to playing the lovesick role?"
Bradley's icy gaze fell upon Logan. It seemed as if he hadn't heard Esther's words clearly. Instead, he said, "Esther, as long as you return to my side, I can forgive everything that happened before."
Esther found that laughable. Forgive her? What right did Bradley have to forgive her?
"Bradley, open your eyes and see clearly. I am not the person you think I am."
Kevin stepped in to explain on Esther's behalf. "Bradley, she's Esther's elder sister."
"F*ck off!" Bradley roared furiously. "Kevin, are you still lying to me? Is that interesting to you?"
Kevin massaged his temples, his voice grave. "Bradley, have you forgotten that you divorced Esther? Have you forgotten that you pushed Esther into a corner step by step?
"You're here now pretending to be sentimental and lovesick. Aren't you disgusted with yourself? If you truly loved Esther, didn't you notice she's different from Esther?"
Bradley sternly said, "Kevin! We'll settle our score later."
Bradley then walked straight to Esther's wheelchair. "Honey, let's go home."
When Esther heard the word "honey" coming from Bradley, she felt nauseated almost to the point of vomiting. She took out a gold needle hidden in the wheelchair and jabbed it into Bradley's outstretched hand.
Bradley immediately felt a piercing pain on his acupoint, as if his entire body's bones were aching from a severe beating.
