Chapter 14

Penulis: Spring Sprout
Noting their disadvantage, Jasper ordered the chauffeur, “Let’s go!”

The chauffeur started the car, and the Bentley brushed past Bradley.

Bradley looked at the car that sped off and returned to his own, stomping down on the accelerator and crashing into the car.

With a bang, two luxury cars collided harshly.

Esther’s repeated escape had only made Bradley’s rage burn his rationale away. He stepped on the pedal again to run the Bentley onto the pavement.

Jasper kept Esther in his arms during the collision and nearly passed out from the collision.

Bradley looked at the Bentley in front of him with a dark look and pulled out his phone to make a call.

“Cole, get some men over.”

Even with Jasper’s protection, Esther’s forehead was busted. Blood flowed like a small stream. She looked at Bradley, who felt murderous outside the car, and trembled in fear.

Bradley got out of his car, looking like he could kill, and kicked the Bentley’s door open to pull Esther out brutally.

His eyes were screaming bloody murder as he choked Esther by the neck and slammed her against the Bentley’s door.

Esther felt like Bradley was going to snap her neck and pushed him on the chest as much as she could. It was just that her strength was nothing before the man.

“How dare you escape twice within the same night, Esther!?

“You should feel lucky that you’re still useful or else…”

If Felix was not in the hospital waiting for this woman’s bone marrow to save him, Bradley could not hold himself back from breaking her neck with his own hands.

Bradley kept squeezing, and Esther’s face turned purple. Her oxygen was running out from her lungs bit by bit.

Death shadowed Esther, but she thought of Tinkerbell in the hospital and punched the car hard.

Jasper, who was disorientated from the collision, heard Esther’s cry for help and forced himself out of the car. He shakily staggered between Esther and Bradley.

“Mr. Warner, your son… will be dead if Esther dies!”

Bradley sneered. “Jasper, a sl*tty b*tch like this is worth sacrificing your life?”

“Mr. Warner, even though your marriage with Esther isn’t perfect—”

Before Jasper finished, Bradley chuckled coldly.

“This marriage is a humiliation in my life.” Bradley’s expression was menacing as he warned Jasper. “Don’t get involved!”

He let go of his chokehold on Esther abruptly.

Like a drowning person, Esther held the Bentley door and took in gulps of fresh air. She stood before Bradley with a bloodied face and could not help blurting Tinkerbell’s birth when she thought of how the girl had been sent off in an ambulance.

“Bradley! Pixie and Tinkerbell in Sunflower Welfare are our daughters. If you don’t believe it, you can do a paternity test right now!”

Not only did Bradley not believe her, but his eyes also brimmed with mockery.

“I don’t believe a word you say, Esther!”

Bradley then yanked Esther’s arm and pulled her to his car without a care.

Jasper hurried forward to catch up and advised hoarsely, “Bradley Warner, calm down!”

Calm down? When his son was on the brink of death? And the person who promised to save him kept pushing his limits!?

It was then a few black cars skidded to a stop in front of Bradley. A squad of trained men in black got out and approached Bradley in a uniform stride.

“Mr. Warner!”

Jasper remained relentless despite being outnumbered by Bradley.

“Bradley, walk over me if you want to take Esther away today!”

Bradley glanced at Jasper and ridiculed him. “I don’t take threats from anyone, Searle. Your life is unworthy of a mention to me. Help her again, and I’ll wipe out the Searles.”

Bradley looked at his men and instructed them, “Take good care of Mr. Searle.”

The men in black went up and surrounded Jasper securely.

“Bradley, let me save Tinkerbell, please! I promise I won’t run away again. I’ll save Felix.”

Esther begged Bradley, trying to stir the last bit of his sympathy.

Unfortunately, her voice only fueled his rage when he heard her. There was only blank bloodthirst on his handsome face as he impatiently sealed Esther’s mouth with yellow tape.

He also wrapped her hands and feet with tape to prevent her from running off.

Bradley tossed her to the backseat and tied her up with the seatbelt before pulling out his phone.

“Get the operation ward ready. Operate on Felix as soon as I arrive.”

The car sped toward the hospital without care.

Esther closed her eyes in despair…

‘Tinkerbell, hold it out a bit more!

‘Mommy will save you!

‘Wait for me!’

The car came to a stop in front of the hospital, and Bradley pulled Esther out to hand her over to the doctor and nurses.

Without Bradley’s instruction, no medical professional in the hospital dared free Esther of her restraints.

Esther was still tied up when she was sent into the preparation room. After all the prep work was done, she was then sent to the operation ward.

Bradley, who had completely disinfected himself, entered wearing a sterile surgical gown.

His gentle gaze fell on another operation theater, where Felix was under anesthesia.

Esther’s bone marrow was compatible with Felix, meaning the boy could bid farewell to being sick from then on. He could run, skip, and go to preschool like a regular kid.

Bradley would raise him into the most outstanding heir of the Warner Group, so his grandfather would rest in peace knowing it.

On the other side, Esther looked at Bradley pleadingly as she struggled in the operation theater.

The doctors and nurses could not quiet her down.

Bradley approached her and looked down at the girl, who was like a helpless beast. He tore the tape off her mouth.

Esther spoke up quickly. “Bradley! Tinkerbell’s just a child. What wrong has she done!?”

Bradley squeezed her lower jaw. His answer was a soft murmur, but it was disheartening.

“She’s your daughter. It’s an original sin she carries!”

Esther stubbornly wanted to tell him the truth about their daughters to try and rouse his feelings.

“Bradley, Tinkerbell has acute leukemia. She has to be operated on at once or she’ll die!

“Please, Bradley, I beg you! Let me go!

“She’s your daug—”

Bradley choked Esther’s neck once more until she could not make another sound.

The surgical shadowless lamp shone on Esther’s face, making her look paler while her eyes brimmed with sorrow that stunned Bradley.

He could not help loosening his hold on her neck.

“Another word of nonsense, and I’ll kill those b*stards right now!”

Esther used the last bit of her energy to beg with a sob, “Please let me donate to Tinkerbell first. I promise I won’t run. I promise you can ask me anything as long as she’s safe.

“I’ll donate my bone marrow to Felix, Bradley, trust me. I’ll really donate it to him.”

Bradley felt the irony when he heard Felix’s name leaving Esther’s lips.

“How does the b*stard you gave birth to worth being compared to my son?”

Tears of despair welled in Esther’s eyes. She cried helplessly, “Bradley, Tinkerbell’s really your daughter… Why don’t you believe it?”

“You really could say anything just to save that little b*stard, huh?” Bradley mocked her.

He did not want to listen to her lies anymore and taped her mouth again.

“Tie her down.”

“Yes, Mr. Warner.”

The nurses restrained Esther, who kept struggling to the operation theater right in front of Bradley. The moment Esther was tied down, she lost hope. Her eyes were tearful as she looked at Bradley, who donned the gown.

The anesthesiologist had prepared the anesthetic and was going to inject Esther when Bradley went over and told him, “Give it to me.”

Esther struggled with pained sobs on the table, her tearful, desperate eyes pleading.

‘Bradley, no!

‘Don’t!

‘Tinkerbell’s still waiting for me! Our daughter’s still waiting for me to save her!’

Bradley looked at Esther, who still wanted to break free despite being tied up in the operation theater. His surgical glove-clad hand grabbed her fragile neck forcefully, forcing her to look at his cold eyes as he told her cruelly, “Esther Quill, it’s your blessing to be able to save my son.”

He let go with that and mercilessly pushed the syringe of anesthetic into Esther with a blank face.

  • My Husband Wants Me Dead   Chapter 989

    Bradley's brazen words made Gabriel raise an eyebrow, and his scrutinizing gaze on Bradley intensified.Unfazed by Gabriel, Bradley calmly stated, "Mr. Sinclair, when I visited Shane recently, he handed me some video footage. It showed Esther being assaulted and abused in prison, with the perpetrators claiming it was my order. I've always dared to own up to my actions. What I've done, I won't shirk from. What I haven't done, I won't admit."Gabriel had seen the videos online. Even though Bradley had obscured the protagonist's face in the footage, he knew it was Esther. He had believed entrusting Esther to Thomas would ensure her safety, only to discover how fate twisted things."Bradley, I'll assume your words are true," Gabriel began. "Then tell me, if those people who assaulted Esther in prison weren't influenced by someone else, who put her in prison? Have you forgotten how you, in your irrational madness, expected a woman carrying your children to pay the price? Or do you believ

  • My Husband Wants Me Dead   Chapter 988

    When Bradley brought up his grandfather again, he felt utterly unfilial as a grandson."Your grandfather's greatest wish before he passed was for you and Esther to live peacefully and happily. Sadly, all he witnessed was discord and enmity between you as a couple."Gabriel understood better than anyone that Bradley, in his youthful arrogance, felt that everything and everyone should conform to his desires. When Thomas compelled Bradley to marry Esther, almost like an arranged marriage, his rebellious nature surfaced."I've failed my grandfather's hopes," Bradley admitted with a bitter taste in his mouth.During quiet, solitary nights, he revisited memories of the past repeatedly.He hadn't desired that marriage back then. However, since he had promised his grandfather to marry Esther, he should have genuinely treated her as a wife.Despite the subsequent events not aligning with his wishes, he was painfully aware that if he hadn't been arrogant and unwilling to listen to Esther's

    Esther wasn't pleasant toward Bradley. If she had evidence, she would gladly send him to prison to experience the joy of life behind bars.Bradley gazed blankly at Esther's stunning face, a hint of indescribable sorrow in his eyes. Those deep eyes resembled a chilly cold spring."Not only do you want to chop off my hand, but you also want my life, right?"Esther gestured a slice across her neck at Bradley with her hand, then turned away to tell Logan, "Let's go. Don't waste time on this.""Okay."With languid steps, Esther walked into the elevator. Once they were inside, the elevator doors shut.Outside the elevator, Bradley watched Esther and Logan like they were two puzzle pieces that matched perfectly. Instantly, he felt an unbearable heartache, as if his heart was being torn apart.He instinctively reached out to steady himself against the wall, observing the numbers on the elevator panel decrease until it stopped at the ground floor.It took a while before Bradley recovere

    Throughout the entire night, neither Esther nor Logan had shut their eyes.Feeling their eyes strain, they applied eye drops. It wasn't until Esther noticed someone who shouldn't have been there on the surveillance footage."Logan, take a look at this."Perplexed, Logan asked, "What's going on?""Do you think this person looks like Shirley?"Esther was particularly sharp in discerning a woman's physique. She could immediately tell that the woman being supported by a man due to her intoxication bore a striking resemblance to Shirley."Let me see."Logan zoomed in on the surveillance footage, carefully comparing it with the footage containing Shirley. Physically, the two women indeed looked very similar.There was just one question... How would they confirm if she was Shirley?"Esther, stay here and keep watching the surveillance. I'll retrieve other surveillance footage.""Okay."Logan and Esther divided their tasks. Suspecting that the intoxicated woman might be Shirley, Est

    Logan and Esther exchanged a glance. They fixed their intense gazes on Jason's face, unable to discern if he was smirking or provoking them."Mr. Taft, the evidence you seek will come."Jason scoffed. He seemed to transform into a different person as he put his glasses back on."Even if Shirley deceived me, I never wished harm upon her, let alone her death."I can consider your suspicions toward me as part of the investigation, but I hope that once everything is revealed, you can restore my innocence."I've said my piece. As long as Shirley hasn't divorced me, she remains my wife. I am obliged to cooperate in the investigation, and I hope you find her soon."Logan and Esther sensed something amiss with the first confrontation. They didn't say anything untoward until they exited the elevator and looked up at Jason's balcony outside.Jason stood on the balcony, looking at Logan and Esther and waving toward them.Logan and Esther looked at Jason before they turned and got into the

    "She blocked me on all forms of contact at that time. I even tried contacting her through my colleagues' phones but found out she had blocked them, too. I thought she might be angry, so we should both calm down."Logan didn't speak and just listened quietly as Jason recounted the events of the case."I was angry that she blocked me. At my age, what's wrong with wanting a child? My parents were pushing for it, and I wondered if this marriage was what I wanted."Shirley is very beautiful. My friends and classmates say I'm lucky to have married her, but they don't know that beauty comes at a price."While my colleagues were buying properties, my wife kept changing bags. Her clothes, skincare products, shoes—everything was designer. To support her lifestyle, I work diligently, even taking extra freelance jobs to afford it."I thought I was a good husband and just wanted a child. What did I do wrong? If she had said that she didn't want a child after marriage in the first place, it wou

    Gabriel took a long look at Esther, realizing more than anyone that Esther seemed to be heading toward a different extreme now. He wasn't certain if this shift in Esther's demeanor was good or bad.However, one thing was clear to him—the intersection of Esther and Bradley's lives resembled two lines crossing. After intersecting, they would drift further apart."Esther, you can investigate Bradley's criminal evidence. I won't object to that," Gabriel said with a stern face, emphasizing, "But ensure you complete your tasks on time and with quality.""Grandpa Gabriel, rest assured, I won't neglect my work."Gabriel nodded. "Go on then.""Alright." Esther stepped out of the office and approached Logan. "We can set off now.""Okay."Logan didn't inquire about Esther's conversation with Gabriel. Although they pretended to be engaged, Logan maintained a respectful distance from Esther. He wouldn't interfere much in her matters. However, he was aware that if she needed his help, he woul

  • My Husband Wants Me Dead   Chapter 982

    Gabriel stated, "According to her husband, they argued before she went missing. He assumed she had returned to her parents' home and didn't inquire further since they often had cold spells for ten days to half a month. Their relatives and friends can testify to this."However, the cold spell extended to a month this time, which alarmed him. When he called her parents, they told him his wife never went home."Esther knew that the husband was often the first suspect when the wife went missing in cases like this."The wife bought a high-speed train ticket to her parents' home but didn't take the train back. The police traced her taking a ride-hailing car, and the driver claimed to have dropped her off on the street. The dashcam recording is proof. However, after that point, there's a blind spot in the surveillance footage. Usually, surveillance is kept for a certain period and gets overwritten after that."Logan asked, "What about the investigation on the missing woman's husband?""T

    Esther rose, fixating on the distant scenery with clear eyes. "As long as he commits a crime, he'll leave traces."Logan was on the verge of speaking but was interrupted by the sudden ring of his phone."Hello, Mr. Sinclair."Gabriel's voice sounded grave. "There's a new lead.""Alright, we'll be right there."Logan stood up, turning to Esther. "We'll meet at the locker room entrance in ten minutes.""Is there a new development?""Yes."For most girls, ten minutes might not suffice even for basic grooming. For Esther, it was just right. The only issue was her long hair. Time was too short, and she lacked the opportunity to blow-dry it. Her damp hair draped over her shoulders, slightly soaking her T-shirt.Logan kept his eyes on the road. "I'll drive. You can use a towel to dry your hair.""Okay."As Logan drove, Esther sat in the car, patting her hair dry with a towel. Her hair was thick, posing a challenge to dry with just a towel.Nevertheless, Esther refrained from openi
