Chapter 41
Liliane had kept that secret for five whole
years.
Today, especially, the secret rushed past her heart like a surging wave when she saw Esther acting foolishly according to her plan.
Liliane could not describe the gratification she felt as she could finally reveal this secret only she knew.
It was just too bad that Esther had fainted and did not hear the truth about Felix's birth. It was fine. There would be a next time.
'Next time, you'll kill Felix with your own hands, Esther.
'You'll kill your son yourself.
'How I anticipate the arrival of that day...'
"Useless." Liliane's cherry lips parted to mock Esther.
"This was all she got? She did not even hurt a strand of Felix's hair. She is really useless.'
Liliane's eyes scanned the removed oxygen tube, and she curled her lips slowly into a smirk with an icy gaze.
What would become of Felix now that he was without the oxygen tube?
Liliane took a deep breath and switched to the image of a gentle, caring mother in a split second. The menacing, shameless, and vicious Liliane vanished as if it were just an illusion. She rubbed her eyes until they were red before she turned around and went to the door.
What Liliane did not know was that the moment she turned around, Felix, who was on the bed, clutched the blanket tightly. His subtly quivering body exposed his current distress and fear.
Felix could not help recalling the words Liliane had said next to his ears just now. Everyone thought that Esther was a bad person for hurting him, but the person who was really harming him was the mother he had been calling "Mommy" for four years-Liliane.
Was what she said true? Was he really Esther and Bradley's child?
If what Liliane said was true, did that mean Tinkerbell, who had passed away, was his actual sibling?
Felix was frightened terribly by the sudden change of events. He dared not open his eyes, Liliane would kill him if she knew that he had been awake this whole time.

Felix could not help cracking a slit in his eyes and saw that Liliane had already opened the door of the ward. She met Bradley's angry face with tearful eyes as she said, "Brad, Esther coughed up blood. She definitely didn't mean to harm Felix. She just lost her mind due to the pain of losing her daughter."
Bradley gently pushed Liliane aside and cut her off coldly. "Liliane, don't let her fool you!"
Bradley had been soft-hearted because Esther had saved his life as a child. However, when she threatened him with Felix's safety, his tolerance became a joke.
He took large strides to the bedside. Looking at Esther, slumped next to Felix and on the verge of death, he grabbed her arm to throw her off like she was a piece of unimportant garbage.
Fortunately, Cole, who had followed him in, was quick enough to catch Esther. Otherwise, Bradley would have thrown her directly onto the cold floor.
Esther, who was in Cole's arms, was barely breathing, her pulse sometimes present and sometimes not. The once bright and beautiful Esther was now left with her last breath.
Cole did not dare to bother Bradley with Esther's condition. He picked her up and rushed out of the ward, telling the medical staff outside the door, "Quickly, prepare to save her."
