Chapter 21
Jasper could still hear Esther's anguished voice through the door. His eyes were slightly reddened. He tapped on his phone contacts and found Bradley's name but left the app after a few seconds of hesitation.There was no telling how long it had been since his assistant came to him with some food."Mr. Searle, I've asked Octagon to prepare some easily digestible food according to your instructions."Jasper gestured for the assistant to put away the food. How would Esther be in the mood to eat now?He took a deep breath and pushed open the door in front of him.In the room, Esther had passed out in tears on Tinkerbell."Esther!" Jasper gasped and darted forward to help her up."Doctor, doctor!"The doctor rushed over and sent Esther away to be treated.Jasper followed them hastily while his assistant remained to take care of the rest.The morgue staff who came put Tinkerbell into a body bag, and the assistant followed them to wheel Tinkerbell to the cold locker in the morgue.

"Mr. Warner, I… I really can't stop him."Bradley nodded and coldly asked, "Yes, Mr. Searle?"Jasper dashed to Bradley and grabbed his collar to punch him without a word.Bradley was well-trained and would never give Jasper a chance to hit him. He caught the latter's fist and mocked him. "Mr. Searle, are you being angry over a woman?"Jasper lifted his leg to kick Bradley, and the two men started to fight.The brawl went on for over ten minutes. No one got the best of the other one, and the office was a mess."Jasper, are you done!?"Bradley glowered and shoved away Jasper, who was like an enraged lion. He slowly wiped the blood on the corner of his lips with his hand."For a wh—"Jasper did not wait for Bradley to finish, interrupting stiffly, "Esther's daughter is dead! Bradley Warner, that's your daughter, too!"Bradley snickered. "Jasper Searle, Esther's child could be any man's kid but never mine.""You're a ruthless man!" Jasper's forehead was wounded. "How could you b

Bradley had a vague answer, but he could not say it aloud in certainty.Clark put on the glasses hanging in front of his chest and took the photo from Bradley. He scrutinized it for some time before answering, "Mr. Bradley, she's Madam. Your parents went on a business trip and were caught in an accident. It's Madam who stayed nearby who saved you on the spot. Because you witnessed your parents' death, you've selectively forgotten the memory."Bradley jolted. He stared at the girl in the photo in disbelief. She had eyes exactly like Esther's."S-So…"Clark nodded and said in certainty, "Sir, Madam's your savior."Bradley felt like his world was flipped upside down in an unnatural silence. He had never expected the woman he hated and resented to be his childhood savior."W-Why… didn't you all tell me?" asked Bradley.Clark shook his head wryly and explained, "You didn't even have that piece of memory. Telling you the truth would only add to your pain for nothing. You got to know M

Bradley had never imagined that he and Esther had crossed paths 20 years ago.Clark did not say anything and just looked at him in silence.Bradley stood up. The moment he left the study, he pulled out his phone to call Jasper."Jasper, which hospital is Esther in?"…Jasper sat next to Esther in People's Hospital ward with the injuries he suffered from his brawl with Bradley.When he saw the incoming call on his screen, he answered it and slowly walked to the balcony."Mr. Warner, as you wish, Esther's half dead now. If you come now, you might be in time to collect her corpse."Jasper's tone was menacing and mocking.Bradley hung up without a word and called Cole."Cole, which hospital is Esther in?""People's Hospital."By the time Bradley drove to the junction in front of People's Hospital, he received Liliane's call."Brad, Felix's awake! Felix woke up!"Bradley, who had planned to see Esther, asked his chauffeur to turn to the Warner Group's private hospital without

Jasper comforted Esther when he saw her hugging Tinkerbell's remains. "Esther, you just need a paternity test to prove it to Bradley."Esther was in grief, but her eyes were roaring with hatred."No! I want Bradley to see Tinkerbell with his own eyes, to see that it's him—he's the one who caused her death. He killed our daughter! Jasper, help me! Help me!"Jasper would never reject Esther's request.Holding his tears back, he said, "I'll help you. Of course, I'll help you."Esther was brimming with destructive hatred. She hated Bradley's mercilessness so much. She hated that he pinned her to the operation theater personally. If he had not been so cruel last night, perhaps Tinkerbell would not have died as long as she made it to the hospital.He killed Tinkerbell. It was Bradley, Tinkerbell's biological father, who killed her with his own hands.Esther could not let Tinkerbell leave this world alone. She wanted Bradley to know the truth—she wanted him in as much pain as she was i

"Ms. Quill, we can understand your grief," the organ donation staff said humbly. "But have you thought that if Tinkerbell managed to get a match for her bone marrow, she could get the transplant and survive? I believe that if she were still alive, she'd want to save her peers too—"Before the employee could finish, Esther broke down in tears.Yeah, her Tinkerbell was so kind—so kind that she thought that she was there to adopt a child and repeatedly reminded her not to adopt a sick child like her.Her Tinkerbell was so kind, but why were the heavens so cruel?It was her fault. Why must she listen to the director? Why did she not tell Tinkerbell last night that she was not there to adopt a child? She was there specifically to see her because she was her mother.Jasper glanced at Camila, and the latter cleared her throat before speaking assertively. "Ms. Quill, before the maternity test result is out, I'm still Tinkerbell's guardian, and I have the right to agree to donate her heart

Jasper looked up aloofly. "Sign the paper, and Tinkerbell will be ours then.""Mr. Searle, it's not how things work," Camila replied stiffly.Jasper retorted, "Rules are dead, and people aren't. We'll give you the maternity test result once it's out, and my lawyer will take care of the rest of the procedures.""Sure," Camila answered and checked her watch for the time. "I'll take my leave now. My condolences to both of you."After a long moment, Jasper slowly sat beside Esther and said softly, "I've talked to Madam Jenner. We can take Tinkerbell now!""I can take her to see Bradley now?" asked Esther.Jasper answered softly and sadly, "Yes, but you can't carry Tinkerbell back now since they just operated on her. I'll ask my secretary to order her a customized coffin. What do you think?""Okay." Esther's heart throbbed in pain. "Choose the best.""I'll also ask my secretary to buy a beautiful dress for Tinkerbell, and you wear it for her later, okay?""Okay," answered Esther.

Esther then lightly placed the diamond tiara Jasper had brought over on Tinkerbell.Jasper knocked on the door and asked, "Esther, can I come in now?"Esther was happy with Tinkerbell's appearance, and her gaze on the girl was incredibly tender."Yes."Jasper came in with a pink coffin."Esther, do you want to do it, or should I?"Esther carried Tinkerbell up and gently placed her in the pink coffin as if the action took everything from her.The coffin was not a big one, and it was pink in color. There were beautiful hand paintings inside of it, while the outside was embedded with gems and extravagant embossment.After securely placing Tinkerbell in the coffin, Esther smoothed down her hair and dress before adjusting her tiara."Also…" Jasper handed an envelope to Esther. "Your maternity test result with Tinkerbell is out."Esther took the envelope and flipped through the result swiftly. She went to the last page impatiently. The number stated there was a 99.99% match.This

Esther gripped her fists. If Bradley did not come to see her, she wanted his and Liliane's son to die with Tinkerbell."Madam…" Cole sighed. He did not expect Tinkerbell, who had been lively and fine, to be gone so soon either."Hold on. I'll call Mr. Warner."The clients of this private hospital under the Warner Group were either rich or influential.Although Esther had spent five years in prison, most people could still recognize that she was the main character of that wedding of the century back then, and that she was also the woman Bradley had personally sent to prison five years ago.They were curious, probing, and confused as they looked at Esther and the mini coffin next to her.Esther put a hand on the lid of Tinkerbell's coffin as if the girl would give her strength somehow.Cole called Bradley to tell him about the situation in the lobby. The latter paused, and a glimpse of panic flashed in his eyes.Many people moved about in the hospital lobby, but Esther remained u

Jasper entered the elevator pushing the small coffin, following Esther and Bradley.With so many people in the elevator, the space felt crowded.Cole stood beside Bradley, at a loss. There were times he wanted to tell his boss that he had actually done the paternity test, but… the result was yet to be out. It would be futile even if he told him.Moreover, Esther seemed to have become obsessed and overwhelmed by Tinkerbell’s death. If she did not see the sample being taken personally, she would constantly suspect the authenticity of the test.Rather than doing it again by then, they might as well let Esther watch the sample being taken. She and Bradley could face reality together when the result was out.The group came to the lab test department.The nurse took samples of blood from Bradley, Esther, and Tinkerbell.“The fastest the results will be out is 24 hours.”Bradley threw the cotton swab with his blood into the medical waste bin and looked at Esther condescendingly. “Esth
