My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 25
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

"Ms. Quill, we can understand your grief," the organ donation staff said humbly. "But have you thought that if Tinkerbell managed to get a match for her bone marrow, she could get the transplant and survive? I believe that if she were still alive, she'd want to save her peers too—"Before the employee could finish, Esther broke down in tears.Yeah, her Tinkerbell was so kind—so kind that she thought that she was there to adopt a child and repeatedly reminded her not to adopt a sick child like her.Her Tinkerbell was so kind, but why were the heavens so cruel?It was her fault. Why must she listen to the director? Why did she not tell Tinkerbell last night that she was not there to adopt a child? She was there specifically to see her because she was her mother.Jasper glanced at Camila, and the latter cleared her throat before speaking assertively. "Ms. Quill, before the maternity test result is out, I'm still Tinkerbell's guardian, and I have the right to agree to donate her heart

Jasper looked up aloofly. "Sign the paper, and Tinkerbell will be ours then.""Mr. Searle, it's not how things work," Camila replied stiffly.Jasper retorted, "Rules are dead, and people aren't. We'll give you the maternity test result once it's out, and my lawyer will take care of the rest of the procedures.""Sure," Camila answered and checked her watch for the time. "I'll take my leave now. My condolences to both of you."After a long moment, Jasper slowly sat beside Esther and said softly, "I've talked to Madam Jenner. We can take Tinkerbell now!""I can take her to see Bradley now?" asked Esther.Jasper answered softly and sadly, "Yes, but you can't carry Tinkerbell back now since they just operated on her. I'll ask my secretary to order her a customized coffin. What do you think?""Okay." Esther's heart throbbed in pain. "Choose the best.""I'll also ask my secretary to buy a beautiful dress for Tinkerbell, and you wear it for her later, okay?""Okay," answered Esther.

Esther then lightly placed the diamond tiara Jasper had brought over on Tinkerbell.Jasper knocked on the door and asked, "Esther, can I come in now?"Esther was happy with Tinkerbell's appearance, and her gaze on the girl was incredibly tender."Yes."Jasper came in with a pink coffin."Esther, do you want to do it, or should I?"Esther carried Tinkerbell up and gently placed her in the pink coffin as if the action took everything from her.The coffin was not a big one, and it was pink in color. There were beautiful hand paintings inside of it, while the outside was embedded with gems and extravagant embossment.After securely placing Tinkerbell in the coffin, Esther smoothed down her hair and dress before adjusting her tiara."Also…" Jasper handed an envelope to Esther. "Your maternity test result with Tinkerbell is out."Esther took the envelope and flipped through the result swiftly. She went to the last page impatiently. The number stated there was a 99.99% match.This

Esther gripped her fists. If Bradley did not come to see her, she wanted his and Liliane's son to die with Tinkerbell."Madam…" Cole sighed. He did not expect Tinkerbell, who had been lively and fine, to be gone so soon either."Hold on. I'll call Mr. Warner."The clients of this private hospital under the Warner Group were either rich or influential.Although Esther had spent five years in prison, most people could still recognize that she was the main character of that wedding of the century back then, and that she was also the woman Bradley had personally sent to prison five years ago.They were curious, probing, and confused as they looked at Esther and the mini coffin next to her.Esther put a hand on the lid of Tinkerbell's coffin as if the girl would give her strength somehow.Cole called Bradley to tell him about the situation in the lobby. The latter paused, and a glimpse of panic flashed in his eyes.Many people moved about in the hospital lobby, but Esther remained u

Jasper entered the elevator pushing the small coffin, following Esther and Bradley.With so many people in the elevator, the space felt crowded.Cole stood beside Bradley, at a loss. There were times he wanted to tell his boss that he had actually done the paternity test, but… the result was yet to be out. It would be futile even if he told him.Moreover, Esther seemed to have become obsessed and overwhelmed by Tinkerbell’s death. If she did not see the sample being taken personally, she would constantly suspect the authenticity of the test.Rather than doing it again by then, they might as well let Esther watch the sample being taken. She and Bradley could face reality together when the result was out.The group came to the lab test department.The nurse took samples of blood from Bradley, Esther, and Tinkerbell.“The fastest the results will be out is 24 hours.”Bradley threw the cotton swab with his blood into the medical waste bin and looked at Esther condescendingly. “Esth

Five years ago, Esther had pulled off Thomas' oxygen mask, causing him to nearly die.Thomas would have succumbed five years ago if the doctor hadn't intervened in time. Moreover, Esther's malicious actions were the cause of Thomas' comatose state, rendering his condition irreversible.The doctor had advised Bradley countless times, asking if he wanted his grandfather to have a dignified death, but he refused.Even if the chances were slim, he hoped that his grandfather could wake up! It was too bad that his grandfather had still passed away due to multiple organ failures.Bradley reached out with another hand to grab Esther's hair, forcing her to look into his eyes.Esther looked up abruptly and saw the pain in Bradley's cold eyes. She jolted slightly. Her teeth that were on the skin between Bradley's thumb and index finger loosened up slowly."Bradley, I didn't pull Grandpa Thomas' oxygen mask five years ago!" Bradley sneered when he heard Esther's stubborn denial. "Esther, a

When Cole considered Esther's certainty, he could not help asking softly, "Mr. Warner, what if Tinkerbell's really your daughter when the paternity test result is out?""That's impossible," Bradley said and strode into the elevator.As the elevator doors slowly closed, Bradley caught his reflection on the elevator wall out of the corner of his eye. There were speckles of red on his back. He looked down at his hand and saw the clear bite mark on his purlicue.Esther hated him to the core. She was like him.They were supposed to be happy childhood sweethearts, but somehow, they had become the ones who hated each other the most in this world.Bradley had no idea that someone wearing a mask and a white robe switched out a tube of blood on the machine just five minutes after all of them left. The staff in the lab did not notice this person who appeared and disappeared out of the blue either.Bradley got out of the elevator and unbuttoned his shirt slowly. He took it off as he entered

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
