Bradley gazed at Kevin, easily recognizing the open hostility in Kevin’s expression. Kevin had actually claimed that
he loved Esther, but how could he possibly love her?
“Kevin, I don’t love Esther,” Bradley asserted, persisting in his denial.
“Whether you love her or not is your business,” Kevin retorted, his cold gaze fixed on Bradley, who was now keenly
interested in the conversation.
“Arrange a full-body check-up for him and schedule an appointment with a psychologist. He needs to talk to
someone.
“Only cowards avoid facing their own lives.

Bradley’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists tightly, his veins visible on the back of his hands.
“Kevin, I’ll say it again. I don’t love Esther.”
Kevin sneered and added, “It’s probably for the best. If I were Esther, I’d be repelled to know you loved me.”
In fact, Kevin had long suspected that an unacknowledged love drove Bradley’s obsession and possessiveness
toward Esther. Bradley seemed oblivious to the fact that he had fallen for her while attempting to keep her by his
side.
“Kevin!” Bradley’s gaze turned fierce as he regarded Kevin as his adversary. “If you hadn’t intruded into my secret
room, Esther wouldn’t have been in danger.”
Kevin extended his hands for Bradley to see. “If my hands are stained with responsibility for her death, why do you
think you’re exempt?
“If you hadn’t kept Esther captive, she might have left with Felix long ago. Under Xara’s care, Felix might have
already regained his speaking ability.”
Kevin truly sympathized with Felix. They had refrained from telling Felix the tragic news of Esther’s death,
concerned about its impact on him.
Those without a blood connection to Felix were all thinking of his well-being. Meanwhile, Bradley, his biological
father, had never considered the consequences of his actions on Felix.
“Kevin!” Bradley’s brows shot up, his eyes filled with madness. “I’m Felix’s biological father.”
Kevin raised an eyebrow. “Are you implying that you love Felix more? Is your way of loving him by imprisoning his
mother, subjecting her to suffering, and driving her to her demise? Oh, wait, she’s already gone, her ashes

Bradley’s heart convulsed at the mention of Esther’s ashes being scattered into the sea, and his body felt as though
it were reversing the flow of blood. His eyes revealed a murderous intent.
“Who gave you the right to scatter her ashes into the sea?!”
Kevin taunted, “Should we have left them for you? What would you have done with Esther’s ashes? Would you have
wanted to consume them and become one with her?”
Kevin’s words left Bradley staggering as if all his strength had drained away.
The doctor rushed to support Bradley and told Kevin, “Dr. Slade, Mr. Warner can’t handle any more stress!”
“It’s nothing!” Kevin rolled his eyes gracefully. He couldn’t comprehend Bradley’s behavior.
