My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 18
Jasper's anguished voice came from the phone."Esther, you finally called. The doctor says that Tinkerbell's organs are showing signs of failure. Come over now…" There was a hint of a sob in Jasper's voice. "It'll be too late otherwise."Esther had just gone through surgery, and the anesthesia's effect had yet to wear out, but she was already greeted with such cruel news.Without any hesitation, she pulled off the needles and cables on her and stumbled out of the hospital ward, disregarding that she was still in a patient gown. She rushed to the elevator with a stagger."Esther Quill, where are you going?" The nurse on duty put herself in front of Esther as she cried frantically, "You've just gone through surgery. You have to take a good rest…""I have no time. Move away."Esther pushed the nurse off and dashed into the elevator. As she leaned against the smooth wall inside, she panted harshly.The other patients and their families in the elevator avoided her, assuming she was a

Jasper wheeled Esther to the hospital ward and saw the medical professionals wheeling Tinkerbell off for emergency care.Esther grabbed the doctor's hand and begged, "Doctor, I'm Tinkerbell's mother. My bone marrow surely matches. Please, please operate on my daughter right now."The doctor pried her hand away and hurried off without a word.Jasper held Esther's shoulders and told her sadly, "Esther, I'll take you to the nurse now for a detailed test. Let's not keep the doctor from saving Tinkerbell.""Okay."Esther was brought to the nurse, and the latter immediately saw the scattered marks from having blood drawn on her arm. She took a glance at how weak Esther looked and said seriously, "Ma’am, we can understand your feelings, but your current state can't support you through this surgery at all."This was a public government hospital with dutiful and ethical doctors who would not turn a blind eye to the patient's condition."Please, I beg you to run the test on me first. Plea

The doors to the operation ward opened.Jasper wheeled Esther to the doctor.“Doctor, Tinkerbell…”The doctor shook his head grimly."We've done our best. Our condolences."Esther questioned in shock, "What do you mean?"Condolences? What did he mean?She sprang out from the wheelchair, aggressive like she had never been, as she clutched the doctor's surgical gown and questioned again tearfully, "What do you mean? You're supposed to save your patients! Go back now… Go back and save my daughter!"Jasper wrapped an arm around her shoulder and coaxed her hoarsely, "Esther, calm down. The doctors have done their best.""No! No! No!"Esther could not believe this brutal reality.She had finally found her daughter and did not even get to hug her or tell her that she was her mother—and she was already gone!This must be a nightmare! She must still be dreaming!Esther raised a hand to slap herself harshly.As the loud slap resounded, Jasper quickly caught her hand and sobbed. "Es

Jasper could still hear Esther's anguished voice through the door. His eyes were slightly reddened. He tapped on his phone contacts and found Bradley's name but left the app after a few seconds of hesitation.There was no telling how long it had been since his assistant came to him with some food."Mr. Searle, I've asked Octagon to prepare some easily digestible food according to your instructions."Jasper gestured for the assistant to put away the food. How would Esther be in the mood to eat now?He took a deep breath and pushed open the door in front of him.In the room, Esther had passed out in tears on Tinkerbell."Esther!" Jasper gasped and darted forward to help her up."Doctor, doctor!"The doctor rushed over and sent Esther away to be treated.Jasper followed them hastily while his assistant remained to take care of the rest.The morgue staff who came put Tinkerbell into a body bag, and the assistant followed them to wheel Tinkerbell to the cold locker in the morgue.

"Mr. Warner, I… I really can't stop him."Bradley nodded and coldly asked, "Yes, Mr. Searle?"Jasper dashed to Bradley and grabbed his collar to punch him without a word.Bradley was well-trained and would never give Jasper a chance to hit him. He caught the latter's fist and mocked him. "Mr. Searle, are you being angry over a woman?"Jasper lifted his leg to kick Bradley, and the two men started to fight.The brawl went on for over ten minutes. No one got the best of the other one, and the office was a mess."Jasper, are you done!?"Bradley glowered and shoved away Jasper, who was like an enraged lion. He slowly wiped the blood on the corner of his lips with his hand."For a wh—"Jasper did not wait for Bradley to finish, interrupting stiffly, "Esther's daughter is dead! Bradley Warner, that's your daughter, too!"Bradley snickered. "Jasper Searle, Esther's child could be any man's kid but never mine.""You're a ruthless man!" Jasper's forehead was wounded. "How could you b

Bradley had a vague answer, but he could not say it aloud in certainty.Clark put on the glasses hanging in front of his chest and took the photo from Bradley. He scrutinized it for some time before answering, "Mr. Bradley, she's Madam. Your parents went on a business trip and were caught in an accident. It's Madam who stayed nearby who saved you on the spot. Because you witnessed your parents' death, you've selectively forgotten the memory."Bradley jolted. He stared at the girl in the photo in disbelief. She had eyes exactly like Esther's."S-So…"Clark nodded and said in certainty, "Sir, Madam's your savior."Bradley felt like his world was flipped upside down in an unnatural silence. He had never expected the woman he hated and resented to be his childhood savior."W-Why… didn't you all tell me?" asked Bradley.Clark shook his head wryly and explained, "You didn't even have that piece of memory. Telling you the truth would only add to your pain for nothing. You got to know M

Bradley had never imagined that he and Esther had crossed paths 20 years ago.Clark did not say anything and just looked at him in silence.Bradley stood up. The moment he left the study, he pulled out his phone to call Jasper."Jasper, which hospital is Esther in?"…Jasper sat next to Esther in People's Hospital ward with the injuries he suffered from his brawl with Bradley.When he saw the incoming call on his screen, he answered it and slowly walked to the balcony."Mr. Warner, as you wish, Esther's half dead now. If you come now, you might be in time to collect her corpse."Jasper's tone was menacing and mocking.Bradley hung up without a word and called Cole."Cole, which hospital is Esther in?""People's Hospital."By the time Bradley drove to the junction in front of People's Hospital, he received Liliane's call."Brad, Felix's awake! Felix woke up!"Bradley, who had planned to see Esther, asked his chauffeur to turn to the Warner Group's private hospital without

Jasper comforted Esther when he saw her hugging Tinkerbell's remains. "Esther, you just need a paternity test to prove it to Bradley."Esther was in grief, but her eyes were roaring with hatred."No! I want Bradley to see Tinkerbell with his own eyes, to see that it's him—he's the one who caused her death. He killed our daughter! Jasper, help me! Help me!"Jasper would never reject Esther's request.Holding his tears back, he said, "I'll help you. Of course, I'll help you."Esther was brimming with destructive hatred. She hated Bradley's mercilessness so much. She hated that he pinned her to the operation theater personally. If he had not been so cruel last night, perhaps Tinkerbell would not have died as long as she made it to the hospital.He killed Tinkerbell. It was Bradley, Tinkerbell's biological father, who killed her with his own hands.Esther could not let Tinkerbell leave this world alone. She wanted Bradley to know the truth—she wanted him in as much pain as she was i

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

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

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
