Chapter 42
Cole was terrified at the mere thought of Esther dying if they were just a second too late. All he could think about was that Esther must not die under any circumstances.
Back in the hospital ward, Bradley’s anger flared up as he noticed the oxygen tube had fallen off near the pillow. He thought that Esther was up to her old tricks again.
As Bradley moved to reattach the oxygen tube, Felix slowly opened his eyes shrank in fear, stammering, “D–Daddy…”

Upon hearing Felix’s voice, Liliane rushed to him and hugged him lightly. She buried her head in the blanket, sobbing with relief. “Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness you’re alright, Felix
