The night view was enchanting, adorned with effervescent neon lights, a unique sight that Ben beheld from inside the helicopter. The countless sparkling lights of households resembled scattered stars on Earth, casting a dazzling and radiant glow.Unaware of the peril that lay ahead, Ben curiously admired the beauty outside the helicopter's cabin window. Eventually, the helicopter descended and landed on a ship amidst the vast sea.The ocean within a 50-mile radius, centered around the ship, was brightly illuminated, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The rescue team members tirelessly searched for Felix, diving time after time, and embarked on search dives without giving up.Esther and her group disembarked from the helicopter, and the sea breeze tousled Esther's hair while her cotton nightgown billowed like a raised sail.Observing the rescue personnel with air tanks scouring the sea's surface, Ben couldn't help but ask, "What are they searching for?"With sorrow welling up in

Bradley's eyes fixated on the distant location of the rescue team, his face etched with coldness and determination."But my dad said my grandma is sick overseas. She..."Ben's words trailed off as he encountered Bradley's cold and mocking gaze. Though his heart was in turmoil, he firmly held onto his belief that his father was not the villain they portrayed him to be.The night grew darker.On the deck, the two kidnappers ran a high fever, wrapped in blankets as a doctor administered intravenous drips to them. Their gazes met, filled with despair. They realized that being trapped between survival and death was more agonizing than they had ever imagined.If they could turn back time, they would never have become involved with Shane.Rescue efforts continued, but with each passing second, the chances of finding Felix alive dwindled.Esther leaned against the railing, her hand gripping it tightly as she stared down at the sea. Her body leaned forward involuntarily, tempted to plung

Shane gnashed his teeth tightly and admitted, "Mr. Warner, I asked them to kidnap Esther, but only to prevent her from attending the wedding. I never intended to harm your son or have him kidnapped."Bradley snapped his fingers in the air, signaling Kevin."Kevin."Understanding the signal, Kevin pressed a button, causing Ben to plummet rapidly in mid-air."Ben!""Son!"Shane and Jessica screamed simultaneously.Casually leaning back in his chair, Bradley noticed Esther trembling beside him and reached out to hold her hand."Mr. Hoyer, we all know why you ordered Esther's kidnapping!" Bradley's cold gaze fixed on Shane's contemptible face. His thin lips curled slightly as he spoke. "I'll give you one last chance. If you refuse to tell the truth, I won't hesitate to let your son fall into the depths of the sea."A shiver ran down Shane's spine as he nervously glanced at his son. He closed his eyes briefly, then reopened them to face Bradley and Esther."Mr. Warner, will you re

"Mrs. Warner, please understand. You and I are both mothers. As mothers, we are willing to sacrifice our own lives for the well-being of our children. If... If you truly believe in a life for a life, then take mine. I beg you, spare my son," Jessica pleaded with an anguished expression on her well-maintained face. Her hands were clasped together in a humble plea to Esther."Mrs. Warner, I can fully comprehend your feelings and empathize with your anger. But please... Please consider this for a moment. Ever since I became pregnant with him, I've aspired to be a good mother. I have raised my son well, and he has excelled in his endeavors. Recently, his teachers even mentioned the possibility of him being admitted to Capitellum University. Mrs. Warner, I may be halfway to the grave, but my son—he deserves a bright future."Esther looked at Jessica, a fellow mother, but turned her head away, unable to bear the situation. She knew deep down that the woman before her was innocent, but... w

Who were her children bothering by being alive? Why did they have to tell her that her children died from difficult childbirth?Shane's dark gaze fell upon Bradley's handsome face, and a malicious intent flashed in his eyes. His words added insult to injury to the already fragile relationship between Esther and Bradley."Mrs. Warner, you shouldn't be asking me this question. You should be asking Mr. Warner who's by your side," Shane said.Esther looked at Bradley in astonishment, earnestly trying to discern the truth behind Shane's words.However, Bradley remained unfazed, choosing not to refute or explain. He simply accepted the accusations with silence.Esther's heart sank into the icy depths of the ocean. She opened her mouth but realized she had nothing left to say to Bradley.Upon learning the truth from five years ago, Esther let out a bitter smile, feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted. She walked toward the other end of the deck alone, with Clark hurrying to fo
