Chapter 96
"This is the psychological evaluation I've done on Ms. Quill just now."
The psychologist slid a thick stack of information to Bradley.
Bradley took the document and went through it carefully, asking seriously, "What do these answers mean?"
"Ms. Quill's psychological state is extremely poor." The psychologist explained calmly, "In layman's terms, she's like a fragile porcelain doll now. She looks fine and pretty on the outside, but there are cracks eve it to recover again."
Clark asked in worry, "Then what should we do now? Do we tell her the truth? Or do we act along?"
"From the professional viewpoint of a psychologist, I suggest that you don't tell her the truth. With her current capability to accept things, she might possibly resort to something extreme the moment she learns the truth."
Clark asked with furrowed brows, "Do we go along with her now, then?"
"Follow her perception of her world as closely as possible,' the psychologist said frankly. "It would be best for her to receive therapy once a week during this period. With your
collaboration, I am confident we can help her achieve a stable psychological state. Doing so will make it more difficult for her to resort to extreme measures when she eventually learns the Chapter 96
truth."
Clark took a glance at Bradley and asked gently, "Mr. Warner, what do you think we should do next?"
"Clark, Grandpa died because of her," said Bradley.
Once Bradley thought about how Esther had harmed Thomas, who was so fond of her, he could never forgive her.
Clark recalled Liliane's confession in the recording and could not help but explain on behalf of Esther, "Mr. Warner, you and Esther both experienced the loss of your daughter, Tinkerbell.. If you both keep giving "Clark, Grandpa died." Bradley gritted his teeth and repeated viciously, "Grandpa died because of her."
"Mr. Warner, Tinkerbell died too. To Esther, Tinkerbell died because of you." Clark was rarely this firm in front of Bradley. " Mr. Thomas is important
to you, but Tinkerbell is Esther's life. No matter how much you hate her and begrudge her, she has given birth to your children. The jurisdiction system gave her a five-
year sentence. Are you giving her a life sentence? Or do you want her to repay a life for a life?"
There was a warning tone in Clark's words.
Bradley's fists clenched tightly, causing veins to protrude on his forehead, neck, and the back of his hands.
Maintaining a professional demeanor, the psychologist analyzed the situation. "The pain of losing her daughter has dealt
a severe blow to Esther. From her medical history, I can see that her heart stopped in the ICU. While I don't know the exact reason it started beating again, I do know that given her Chapter 96
fragile condition, even a seemingly insignificant trigger or thoughtless remark could become the catalyst for her to contemplate ending her life."
Clark and Bradley looked at the doctor in unison.
The psychologist said, "There's only one reason for her to choose death, but she needs countless reasons to stay alive."
"Mr. Warner, if you really don't want to see her, I can take her to stay elsewhere." Clark's eyes were rimmed red. Once he thought that Esther was not the culprit that had taken Thomas' life, then everything she
If that accident had not happened, Thomas would not have missed the best time for treatment. He would still be alive. Esther would then have given birth to Bradley's
children, and they would not have gone through so much hardship as a family.

"As long as we find her other daughter, Pixie, she'll have a reason to keep living. Mr. Warner, I plead with you to forgive her and let her live."
Bradley's heart, tough and frozen like ice, eventually cracked. Thoughts of his lost daughter, Tinkerbell, and the uncertainty surrounding Pixie's whereabouts flooded his mind. At that moment, as he reflected or "She's forbidden from stepping into the Warners' manor," said Bradley.
