“She’s alive,” Kevin said.

Upon hearing those two words, Bradley and Xara both let out relieved sighs.

“But it’s not much different from being dead.”

Bradley snarled. “Kevin Slade!”

Massaging his nose bridge, Kevin replied hoarsely, “Bradley, getting angry won’t help. Thanks to you, Esther’s immune system is nearly destroyed, and her condition is dire. Prepare yourself for what’s to come.”

Puzzled, Xara asked, “Isn’t Dr. Foster her doctor? Can’t she do something?”

“Dr. Sadler, do you know how many things Esther has had since leaving prison? Bone marrow donation, abortion, liver donation, and now a head injury. I don’t know what she endured during this time, but she has many wounds and scars.

“These untreated injuries have led to infections, and she’s now dealing with gastritis and nephritis. Thankfully, her immune system hasn’t completely collapsed yet. It’s all in God’s hands.”

Bradley slowly released his grip on Kevin. “You mentioned she has gastritis?”

Kevin replied, “Do you know what she went through in prison? Did you ensure she had proper nutrition when you took her away?
