Even then, Leah had a thousand ways to kill Billy. She just could not let her own daughter hate her.
âIâll wait for the result of the DNA paternity test you do then.â
Liliane was delighted and quickly said, âIâll go get it done at the hospital tomorrow.â
âOh, right, didnât you say that Estherâs dying? Do you want to try her heart?â
âMom, you meanâ¦
â1 Liliane could not be too emotional due to her heart problem. The biggest issue with that was, of course, the inability to have children.
âI hope my daughter has a healthy heart.â
âOkay, Iâll go ask the doctor tomorrowâ¦â
Leah stopped Liliane as soon as she said that. âLiliane, Iâll handle this. Donât get involved. If it gets exposed one day, you can stay out.â
âMom, youâre too good to me.â
Liliane hugged Leah tightly, and the latter swiped a finger across the tip of her daughterâs nose, saying jealously, âIâm so good to you, but you still think of that jerk of a man?â
âAww, Mom, thatâs my dad!â
âAnd Iâm your mother!â
âMy momâs the best! My momâs awesome! My momâs the best mother in the world!â
After Bradley left the Ansteysâ, he drove straight back to the hospital. He did not go to Felixâs room directly, but his feet somehow brought him to Estherâs ward.
Esther was in the ICU currently, and the ICU wards had standard visiting hours.
Bradley was an exception, though. He was the boss of this hospital, so he had the right to enter the ICU anytime he wanted.
âMr. Warner,â the nurse on duty said a little shakily when she saw Bradley, who was like an iceâcold statue the moment she came over to do her rounds.
Bradley reeled his cold gaze from Esther, who was in the ward, to look at the nurse, saying with a cold voice, âI want to go in.â
âPlease follow me.â
The nurse put a sterile suit on Bradley and handed him a mask. She purposely knelt in front of him and put the shoe covers on his feet.
Bradley ignored the nurseâs deliberate actions. He exuded a chilling aura and pushed open the door to the ICU ward with an indifferent face.
The smell of disinfectant permeated the room.
When Bradley walked to Estherâs side, his heart felt like it had been stabbed deeply with a knife, and he was in unbearable pain.
He instinctively reached out and supported himself on the bed, his large hand landing on Estherâs cold hand.
The coldness spread through Bradleyâs body from his fingertips like a tiny electric current flowing into his body.
âBeepâ¦â
The piercing alarm sounded sharply in the quiet ward.
