GoodReadChapter 445
Esther wasn’t aware of Xara and Steffan’s history, but she understood that should Felix fall ill, she’d
have to bear another child to save him. Even returning to the man she despised for Felix’s sake wasn’t
off the table.
“I would,” she affirmed.
Xara asked, “Even after how he’s treated you?”
Esther looked at Xara intently, sharing her thoughts. “As I watch you right now, Xara, you know what
I’m considering? Learning self-defense, maybe becoming stronger. If the time comes, I’ll knock Bradley
out. After all, I just need his contribution, not him personally.
“And if that doesn’t work, I’ll try a different approach. Bradley’s attractive, and his stamina is good. I’ll
treat him like a vibrator without any emotional attachment.”
Xara couldn’t help but chuckle at Esther’s words, her hand covering her mouth. “Esther, your
perspective is certainly unique,” she commented, amused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEsther lifted the wine glass before her, taking a sip. “During the time Bradley held me captive, these
very thoughts crossed my mind. Instead of harboring bitterness, I decided to embrace the
circumstances.
“Xara, I often ponder whether Bradley brought about all the challenges I’ve faced. If I had the chance to
relive my life, would I still choose him or opt to be strangers? This question has lingered within me for a
while, and my answer remains unchanged. I would still choose Bradley for the sake of Felix. Loving
Bradley is indeed bitter, but Felix is just too sweet.”
Esther’s words struck a chord with Xara. She hid her face, her tears flowing quietly.
Sensing Xara’s emotions, Esther drew nearer, her arm encircling Xara’s shoulders as she whispered
soothingly, “It’s alright, Xara. Let your feelings flow. If you need to cry, go ahead.”
“Why couldn’t it have been me who got sick? Why did it have to be my Jacob?” Xara’s heart ached with
the weight of Jacob’s illness. She felt as though a punishment from above had befallen her-retribution
for her own selfishness, neglect of her child, denial of reality, and avoidance of the truth.
“Xara, when Tinkerbell fell ill, I too wondered, ‘Why isn’t it me in her place?’ I’ve made my own
mistakes and loved the wrong person. Yet, it was Tinkerbell who bore the suffering.
“We are mothers, the ones who carried our children in our wombs. Our deepest wish is for our children
to thrive in health and safety.
“I understand your pain, but the past remains unchanged. Our focus must now shift to the present and
future.
“Isn’t the solution as simple as having another baby? Let’s consider it. Imagine, your extraordinary
genes combined with Steffan’s. The result was the handsome Jacob. Another child could be equally
exceptional. Think of it as a remarkable contribution to human reproduction.”
Xara chuckled. After shedding tears and confiding her worries, she felt a weight lifted from her heart.
Her mood had considerably brightened.
“Esther, what’s your plan?” Xara pushed her own concerns aside, focusing on Esther’s well- being.
“When you return to your country, what if Bradley threatens you again when you try to find your child?”
“I won’t compromise anymore.” Esther had already devised a plan to tackle the situation.” Haven’t I
already filed for divorce? Thanks to Bradley, the divorce case is getting a lot of attention. I will address

birth. With a two-pronged approach, there’s a high chance of a breakthrough.”
Xara gently patted Esther’s shoulder, letting out a heartfelt sigh. “Esther, our lives have been nothing
short of challenging.”
Many girls dreamt of meeting a prince on a white horse and living a sweet love story in their youth.
However, reality often proved to be different. The so-called princes often left behind scars from life’s
fierce storms rather than sweet memories.
“Perhaps I owed him in my previous life.” Esther laughed bitterly at herself. “Otherwise, how could he
have hurt me so much?”
Xara laughed out loud and agreed. “Right, Esther. Maybe we were the ‘villains’ who wronged them in
our past lives. This life is just payback. It’s really… mind-blowing!”
Neither Xara nor Esther could hold their liquor very well. The two just used the occasion to drink and
vent their sorrows. After getting slightly tipsy, they each returned to their respective bedrooms.
In the bedroom, the adorable Sunshine and Felix had taken their baths and were engrossed in reading
picture books.
“Mommy!” they called out.
