Chapter 431

Hearing Bradley's cruel words, Esther hung up in despair and promptly blocked his number."Esther, what did he say?" Anna asked.Esther smiled bitterly and mockingly. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "He told me to kneel before him and beg."At that moment, Esther steeled herself. She couldn't help but ask herself again. How did she fall in love with Bradley when she was younger? Did his handsome face deceive her? Or was there something else about him that she had missed?"What are you going to do? Are you going to beg him?" Anna asked.Esther shook her head. She had pleaded and begged... In response, Bradley had imprisoned and tortured her. She wouldn't stay powerless any longer."I'm going to take legal action against the prison and Bradley," she replied.Anna asked with concern, "Esther, have you really thought this through? If you really take Bradley to court...""I have to find out where my daughter is." Esther suddenly turned to hug Anna tightly. "Anna, thank you for all

Chapter 432

The law was not an umbrella for the upper class. As a legal practitioner, Benz had left the legal industry precisely because he had witnessed the darkness within it. Now, he wanted to fight for the law—for justice."I'll be waiting for your good news."Esther was determined to leave and return to her country. After contemplating for a while, she sent a text message to Alice.Perhaps Alice was still working as the message remained unanswered. Esther did not dwell on it and instead called Xara again."Xara."Xara looked out of the window at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling incredibly tormented. "Esther, how are you? Is Pixie okay?"Xara didn't anticipate her first friend upon returning to her home country to be in a similar situation. Esther had faked amnesia, and being a psychologist, Xara could have revealed her act. Yet, she didn't, maybe seeing herself in Esther's actions."Three DNA tests confirmed Pixie isn't my daughter," Esther shared, accompanied by a self-deprecati

Chapter 433

Steffan's smile was faint, his gaze fixed on the pure, innocent face in front of him. Suddenly, he understood why Bradley had put so much effort into keeping her close."Jacob is aware, too," he revealed.Esther's eyes widened in surprise. With a puzzled look, she asked, "So, you all planned this?""Not me," Steffan clarified. "I keep my promises. When I agreed to let her go before, I meant it."Esther frowned. "Is Jacob's illness also a lie?""It's genuine. I moved Jacob to the church hospital hoping they'd find a matching donor there." Steffan lifted his coffee cup, his deep blue eyes focusing on the fields in the distance. "I'm a businessman. If money can fix a problem, then it's not a real problem."Esther understood the implied meaning in Steffan's words. As a father, he needed someone to save his child. The legality or morality of the process was not within his scope of consideration."May I dare ask what illness Jacob has?"Steffan withdrew his gaze, his tone cold and co

"I'm not mentally prepared yet. I don't know how to face her," Jacob replied.Even though Jacob did not display his emotions, Esther could sense his unease. She tousled his hair, ruffling it into a messy tangle."Jacob, you've played your tricks on me, but I won't hold it against you." Esther suddenly shifted her tone to a more relaxed and energetic one. "Your mother's flight won't be long now. Shall we go pick her up together later?""I don't want to go..."Jacob was just a child. How could he not want to see his mother?He wanted to—he really wanted to see his mother.When his mother, someone he had only known through documents, data, videos, and photos, was about to enter his real world, his initial reaction was unexpectedly the urge to escape."Are you really not going?" Esther earnestly brushed aside the disheveled strands from Jacob's forehead. She smiled mischievously. "If you don't go, then I'll have to go alone to pick her up. You know, I'm quite famous because of this

Chapter 435

Five years later, Xara stepped onto the familiar land of her past pain and youth. Just like five years before, the sky was cloudy and rainy when she had left this place, overwhelmed by despair.Even on the plane, Xara couldn't relax completely. She covered her ears, fearful of turning back, as if Steffan might be there, casting a menacing look. Her greatest fear was crumbling under Jacob's cries.As a psychologist, Xara knew well that severe postpartum depression had gripped her after Jacob's birth.

Nightmares haunted her even in sleep.Despite five years passing, she still relied on sleeping pills to find rest.She did not know if Steffan regretted letting her leave back then. She had never dared to stay in one place for more than three months. She did not dare to buy a house. She only had an off-road vehicle, driving it everywhere and driving away

Chapter 436

Xara gazed into Jacob's deep blue eyes and spoke softly. "You've changed a lot in the past five years, but your eyes are still as beautiful as they were back then.""Thanks for the compliment," Jacob replied. He seemed unsure about interacting further with Xara, the mother who had been absent from his life for five years.He glanced at Esther and reminded her, "The driver is ready."Esther extended the bouquet of flowers to Xara and said, "Xara, these were personally picked by Jacob."Taking the flowers, Xara looked at Jacob with a touch of guilt. "Thank you, Jacob. I really like them."Jacob turned away and walked off quickly, showing indifference.An indescribable pain filled Xara's heart. She tried to speak but struggled to find the right words.Feeling Xara's emotional turmoil, Esther gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Give it time.""Esther..." Xara's voice choked.Esther watched Jacob's frail figure and the helplessness in Xara's eyes when faced with her son.

Chapter 437

Esther noticed that Jacob seemed slightly uneasy, and it was enough for her to understand his feelings. He longed for his mother so much but did not know how to interact with her due to the five-year gap. For a child, being close to their mother was instinctual. Jacob's desire for his mother's warmth was also innate."Jacob, now that your mother is back, it means she has thought it through. She knows that running away won't solve anything," she explained.Jacob glanced at Esther, then turned his gaze towards Xara in the distance. Silently, he walked towards Xara's bedroom.The service staff had prepared Xara's bedroom meticulously—everything was the newest, from clothes to toiletries.Xara's room was a suite consisting of a study, a reception room, a dressing room, a bathroom, and a bedroom.Jacob wandered around the suite, finally fixing his gaze on a box of biscuits on the small coffee table in the reception room.He called for the butler, who respectfully responded. "Mr. Jacob

Chapter 438

Considering that Felix was still young, Esther had a male attendant watching nearby in case any accidents occurred in the bathroom. She then took Sunshine to another bathroom.The bathtub was filled with warm water, with a layer of white foam floating on the surface. There were also many colorful little toys in the foam. After undressing Sunshine, Esther gently picked her up and placed her in the bathtub.She bathed Sunshine gently. When her gaze fell on the birthmark on Sunshine's neck, she asked, "Sunshine, has this birthmark always been there?""Yes!" Sunshine said with pride, "Ms. Nun said it's proof that God kissed me."Esther could not help but smile, her beautiful eyes filled with strong longing. "Sunshine, I might be taking Felix back to our home country for a while. Would you like to come with me for a short trip?"Perhaps fate truly played a role in human relationships. Even though Esther had no relationship with Anna, they felt an immediate connection upon their first m

Chapter 439

Xara took a deep breath, forcing herself to maintain her composure as she looked at Steffan. "Why didn't you tell me that Jacob was sick?"Steffan's deep blue eyes held a faint mocking smirk. His voice was indifferent as he said, "When you left five years ago, I told you that unless you willingly returned here one day..."Xara walked briskly to stand before him. Her voice was filled with anguish as she demanded, "Steffan, do you resent me for leaving Jacob five years ago? Is that why you wouldn't even inform me that he's sick? Is this your way of punishing me?""Xara, look at yourself in the mirror on your right."Xara turned stiffly to the mirror. The person she saw was a far cry from her usual fierce and efficient self. She looked like a helpless little rabbit."I gave you your freedom," Steffan said, his voice icy. "The moment you left without looking back, you no longer deserved to be Jacob's mother."Steffan's eyes betrayed a hint of wickedness. Even though he was sitting st

Chapter 440

SSteffan gazed at Xara without a word, his emotions hidden."The doctor suggested a treatment plan. If we choose conservative treatment, Jacob..." Xara paused, then hesitated, saying, "So... should we go for in vitro fertilization?"Steffan smirked, tauntingly responding, "Xara, let's simplify it further. Just give me your genes, and you won't need to worry about anything else, right?""What do you mean, Steffan?"Suddenly, Xara grasped his meaning, her emotions igniting. "Are you saying you still want a physical relationship with me?""Xara, you should know your place after five years." Steffan rose, advancing toward Xara. He observed her tense figure and spoke condescendingly. "Once, you called me an animal. Now, I prefer being a man.""Steffan, what are you trying to say?"Xara was confused. Could Steffan really be suggesting that? No, it seemed impossible. She couldn't agree with his idea.However... were they really going to resort to in vivo fertilization?"Steffan, our
