Bradley stopped what he was doing and casually asked, âDonât you want him to?â
âBrad, how could you think that of me?â Liliane only rubbed his shoulders a few times before moving to sit on the nearby single sofa. âIâm just worried about Felixâs health. He just underwent a bone marrow transplant, and Iâm afraid something might happen in a busy wedding.â
Bradley was extremely indifferent as he said, âThe doctor said Felixâs recovering well. Your concerns are unnecessary.â
âItâs just that Iâm scared.â Liliane covered her chest, still feeling a lingering fear. âFelixâs been sick. for so many years, and Iâm truly⦠afraid.â
âWe can postpone the wedding until Felix fully recovers and can participate.â Bradley thought that since Felix wanted to attend the wedding, he must fulfill Felixâs wish.
Liliane felt somewhat frustrated but dared not show it. She pretended to be unaware and asked, â Brad, the wedding planning company needs our marriage certificate. When do you think itâs convenient for us to get it?â
âAfter the companyâs legal department resolves my marital status with Esther. Then we can go get the certificate,â he replied.
Liliane could not help but feel elated. âBrad, Iâll be waiting for your good news.â
Once she and Bradley obtained the certificate, Felix would lose his value of usefulness. She absolutely would not keep the boy around to hinder her plans.
âIf youâre tired, you can go back. Iâll stay here with Felix,â Bradley said considerately.
âBrad, Iâd rather stay and take care of him. Arenât you busy with the company? There still isnât news about Cole. I wonder how heâs doing right now.â
Whenever Cole was mentioned, Bradley became quite worried. Over ten hours had passed since Coleâs accident, and the rescue team still had no news.
âCole has a professional rescue team searching for him. It doesnât require my personal involvement,â
Bradley said with an unfazed expression. âI can stay with Felix.â
âIn that case, Iâll head back first.,â Liliane stood up and eagerly left the ward.
Bradley watched Lilianeâs slender figure and could not help but recall the look in Estherâs eyes on the operating theater-the resolute and resentful gaze.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Bradley lost all interest in his work. He took out his phone and called the legal department.
âItâs me. Come to the hospital to pick up the divorce papers. Start the process for my divorce with Esther.â
âYes, Mr. Warner,â answered the other party.
Bradley stood up from his chair and walked to the window, gazing at the lush garden outside. His gaze involuntarily fell upon Jasper, who was holding a box of small cakes.
Bradley swiftly entered Estherâs ward. She was still sleeping soundly like Sleeping Beauty. His kiss had no effect on her whatsoever.
âOhâ¦â Jasper entered the room carrying the small cakes and immediately spotted Bradley. He sneered sarcastically. âMr. Warner, feeling free today?â
âJasper, let me remind you that Esther is my wife,â Bradley asserted possessively.
Jasper lazily raised his eyebrows and challengingly asked, âDidnât you divorce Esther?â
âYouâll be disappointed. Legally speaking, Esther is still my wife!â Bradley, like a dominant lion, had an intense possessiveness over Esther. âNow, please leave.â
âBradley, the person who should leave is you.â Jasper did not back down at all. âTake a moment to seriously recall whoâs responsible for Estherâs current state. Itâs you! It was you who drove Esther to seek death. Bradley, if you donât love her, set her freeâ¦â
