Kevin was the first to react. He shouted at the nurses, who looked bewildered, “What are you waiting for?! Start
resuscitation immediately!”
No one paid any attention to Bradley, and Felix went unnoticed as well. They both observed as Kevin and the nurses
rushed to save Esther.
The father and son stared helplessly as the monitor’s line remained flat.

The nurse remained silent. She didn’t know how to answer. She wanted to say “no” but was afraid her response
might disappoint Felix.
“Little one, can you wait outside for your mom?” she asked.
Felix obediently nodded and walked over to sit on a chair outside the ICU.
“Mr. Warner, please step out as well,” she repeated.
Bradley didn’t move.
With Agatha attending to Esther, Kevin had the freedom to usher Bradley out of the ICU.

Oliver asked coldly, “Did you not notice something wrong with Felix?”
Kevin was surprised. He felt Felix’s forehead. No, he wasn’t running a fever.
“Felix, are you unable to speak?” Kevin’s eyes widened in shock. “This can’t be! I just heard him asking the nurse…”
Felix made a gesture.
