Kevin was in disbelief. Considering Bradleyâs cautious nature, it was impossible for him not to conduct a DNA paternity test when Liliane appeared at their door with the child. And now, the result of the testâ¦.
âLiliane has a congenital heart condition and cannot conceive.â
Kevinâs mouth hung open in astonishment, his handsome face filled with disbelief and shock. âButâ¦
that doesnât mean Felix is Estherâs child, right? You and Esther never slept togetherâ¦â
âFive years ago, the person who slept with Esther was most likely me.â
Ever since Bradley discovered that the woman in the video from five years ago was not Liliane, he had been secretly investigating everything that happened back then. That was also the reason he could play the surveillance video at the wedding.
âSo, five years ago, Esther was really pregnant with your child?â Kevin asked in disbelief.â Then, doesnât that mean she-
Kevin stopped himself just in time.
Five years ago, when news of Estherâs scandalous video with another man spread, Bradley became a subject of ridicule. Everyone believed the child in Estherâs womb was illegitimate with an unknown father. No one believed that the child belonged to Bradley, except for Thomas, who wholeheartedly trusted Esther and even announced her pregnancy with great fanfare.
What would that mean if Esther was carrying Bradleyâs child back then?
It meant that Bradley had sent the woman carrying his own child to five years of prison!
It also meant that Felix had been forcibly separated from his mother since his birth.
Kevin couldnât help but feel regretful. If only he had advised Bradley to conduct an amniocentesis back then. He had been so shocked by Estherâs shamelessness at the time that he had never thought about reminding Bradley to seek scientific evidence.
âWhat do we do now? Should we continue the search for Felix or⦠hold a funeral?â
When Kevin returned, he brought presents specifically for Felix, but now those presents had no one to give them to.
âWe will continue the search,â Bradley declared with determination and conviction. âEven if itâs like searching for a needle in a haystack, I will find that needle.â
Kevin let out a long sigh and hesitantly asked, âBut how did Lilianeâ¦â
Clark rushed over to Bradley, panting after getting out of the car, and urgently said, âMr. Warner, we suspect that Liliane is Shaneâs daughter!â
âClark, what are you saying?â Kevin asked in shock. Wasnât Liliane Estherâs half-sister? How could she be Shaneâs daughter?
Wait! Who was Shane?
Kevin couldnât help but wonder what had happened during the years he was studying abroad that he didnât know about.
âDo you have any evidence?â Bradley inquired.
Clark shook his head and spoke softly. âThe DNA paternity test results havenât come out yet, but take a look at this photoâ¦â
