New York University Medical Center.

"Your son has been saved. If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly when he wakes up, but you must first imprison her."

We should press on with our remaining strength to eliminate the enemy, and not seek fame like Xiang Yu.

Adam reminded him again.

"Daddy! I'm scared!"

Esther was really anxious.

She was never a high-IQ criminal. The reason she had managed to manipulate everyone all these years, from the Arctic Bear to the America, and destroy each adoptive family that didn't suit her, was mainly because she deceived everyone with her little girl appearance.

It was only through gradual accumulation of experience that he developed his current acting skills and ruthless methods.

Now, Adam is no longer fooled by her appearance and keeps pressing her for answers, leaving her with no choice but to call for her father or run away in desperation.

But she hadn't won John over yet, so she was reluctant to run away, because she still wanted to ask John, "Am I beautiful?"

If the answer is no, she will break John's leg first, and then wipe out John's family.

Yes!

Esther, who looks like an eight or nine-year-old girl, is actually a legal loli who can't grow up due to a special disease; her real age is already 33.

For so many years, she was trapped in this petite body, but her soul continued to grow. With her body and soul completely disconnected, her psychology gradually became abnormal and extremely violent.

Before Arctic Bear was confined to a mental hospital, she had killed her adoptive father and his family of seven after failing to seduce him.

She then escaped from the mental hospital and traveled to the United States, where the same tragedy unfolded again. However, this time, she was clever and faked a fire, burning her adoptive father, who was the same age as her but refused to accept the 'real her,' and his entire family to death.

Then she went to an orphanage.

A while ago, the Colemans, after a series of intense sessions with a psychologist, went to an orphanage to choose a child to adopt. Before they even entered the house, Esther had already set her sights on them.

Esther, who was spying from the second floor, quickly devised a sales plan based on her years of experience. She disguised herself as a lonely but optimistic, artistic girl who loved to paint, and broke down the Colemans ' defenses in just a few words. Amid Sister Abigail's unnatural smile, she left the orphanage with the Colemans.

On the way back, Esther began learning sign language, hoping to ingratiate herself with the Colemans by communicating with her deaf sister.

Everything was so perfect; the experienced Esther integrated smoothly into the Coleman family.

Depressed Kate seems to have come to terms with the death of her youngest daughter and her husband's infidelity, and that very night she's going to give her husband a warm reward.

Then, Esther, who had been listening to the noise the whole time, went crazy.

From beginning to end, her goal was John; she wanted to replace Kate and become the mistress of the house.

So, she menacingly woke up her deaf-mute sister Max, pretended to be scared, pushed open the master bedroom door, and interrupted the Colemans's good time.

For the next period of time, she secretly read Kate's diary, tried to figure out Kate's thoughts, and used various unexpected events to try to drive Kate crazy.

They pulled out the flowers Kate had grown as a way to express her grief over her deceased daughter and gave them to Kate.

She deliberately broke her own arm by clamping it between the workbench and the workbench, using this as a pretext to falsely accuse Kate of violently tearing off her arm.

In the morning, Kate took them to school. While Kate and Danny were talking, Kate released the handbrake, letting her deaf and mute sister Max, who hadn't gotten out of the car yet, fall down with the car. Then she handed the wine Kate had bought to John.

During a therapy session, she fooled an incompetent therapist, getting both the therapist and John on her side to criticize Kate.

Sister Abigail, who had come to visit after sensing something was wrong, spoke with Kate. Before she had gone far, Esther, who was lying in ambush by the roadside, suddenly shoved Max into the middle of the road, startling Sister Abigail so much that she was involved in a car accident.

Sister Abigail, who climbed out of the car, was brutally killed by Esther, who had transformed into Thor.

Danny discovers the problem and tries to find evidence to prove that Esther committed murder, but Esther locks him in the treehouse and almost burns him to death. He barely manages to jump down, falls and is seriously injured and unconscious, and is almost silenced by Esther.

These methods are ruthless enough, but not clever; they have too many loopholes.

For example, a very obvious flaw is that the car was parked on such a steep slope. If Kate hadn't engaged the handbrake, how could the car have been parked there so well?

For example, Esther accidentally severed her arm by fixing it to a workbench. This is completely different from accidentally tearing it off with your hand. If the doctor hadn't been careless, how could he not have noticed?

This time, she even went straight to the ICU to silence him. Hospitals are full of people coming and going, and if an investigation is conducted afterward, it is certain that Leonard was not the only one who saw her go to the ICU.

Esther had previously encountered men like John who would ignore her odd behavior if she called him "Dad" in a pretentious way, until she met Adam, who didn't buy into that at all.

Seeing John hesitate, how could she not be anxious and afraid?

"Daddy! I want to go home, let's go home!"

John met Esther's pitiful eyes and his heart softened again. He comforted her, "Okay, let's go home."

"No!"

Adam interrupted, "She must be imprisoned until your son regains consciousness. Leonard, go call the police!"

"Enough! Do you know what you're doing?"

John said angrily.

"Of course I know, because I saw it with my own eyes. What about you?"

Adam shouted, "With so many doubts and evidence right in front of you, are you unwilling to even verify them? Are you sure the person lying in the ICU is really your son? Or do you have some ulterior motive?"

After saying that, ignoring John's ashen face, he said to Leonard, who was still standing there, "Go call the police!"

"Oh oh."

This time, Leonard came to his senses and ran to call the police.

Seeing that things were going badly, Esther gave Adam a venomous look and turned to run away.

"Trying to run?"

Adam had been watching her for a while; how could he let her escape?

With a speed approaching 160, surpassing that of an average adult, he grabbed her neck from behind before she could react, and with a strength of 260, far exceeding that of an average adult, he lifted the petite woman into the air.

"Ah!!!"

Esther completely lost it, struggling with her hands and feet, even turning her face away to try to bite Adam's arm, screaming incessantly.

"Let go of Esther!"

John became even more suspicious when he saw Esther run away, but he couldn't bear to see his beloved daughter like this, so he went forward to try to rescue Esther.

"Madness!"

Adam was speechless. Even at this point, he was still like this. He was even thinking of asking Juno to come and diagnose him, but he still reached out and pressed him against the wall, his powerful strength holding the frail John firmly in place.

"My God!"

When Leonard ran to the front desk to call the police and brought over the hospital security guards who had heard the commotion, he was met with the shocking scene of Adam carrying Esther in one hand and pressing down on John with the other.
