Bradley spanked Esther's butt. "Didn't you want to know about our daughter's whereabouts?"

Esther gave up struggling, allowing Bradley to have his way in her world.

After what felt like a long time, Bradley pushed her away with disgust and casually sat on the sofa. "Don't worry, I'm not that depraved!"

Esther had been kneeling on the floor for so long that her knees had gone numb. She dropped to the floor, her face flushed like the dawn.

"Bradley, can you tell me where our daughter is now?" Esther couldn't bear the torment of not knowing anymore.

Bradley revealed a wicked and mocking smile, pinched Esther's chin, and asked, "Weren't you arrogant in court?"

Esther's lips felt soft as Bradley's finger glided over them.

She pleaded hoarsely, "Please, just tell me!"

"You hid your pregnancy just to get a divorce from me..." Bradley's gaze skimmed over Esther's flat belly as he leaned closer, his cold lips against her ear. "If you want to know where our daughter is, wait until you're

    Esther struggled to help Bradley lie down on the hospital bed and pressed the emergency button for assistance. She then ensured she looked presentable."Nurse, I have a patient with late-stage liver cancer here who fainted. Please notify a hepatologist to come quickly," she urged.Esther maintained remarkable composure, fully aware that panic was not an option.After informing the nursing station, she called Kevin."Kevin, Bradley coughed up blood and fainted. What should we do?" she asked.Kevin exclaimed, "He coughed up blood again?""Yes," Esther confirmed.Kevin anxiously pressed, "Did he cough up a significant amount of blood?""It was quite a lot."Kevin's tone grew somber. "Esther, brace yourself mentally. If we can't perform a liver transplant soon, the prognosis may not be favorable.""I'll check with… I'll check with Mandy." Esther was willing to do anything for Mandy should she decide to donate her liver.Kevin sighed deeply. "Have the doctor administer medication

    Kevin's gaze fixed on the blood smeared across Esther's face, and he took a deep breath. "Esther, I'll stay here. Go clean up in the bathroom.""Sure."Esther knew the blood on her face and body was a result of Bradley's coughing fit. She didn't want Felix to associate her with any distressing memories, so she quietly complied. She swiftly returned to the hospital room, changed her clothes, and tidied herself before rejoining Kevin."Felix, wait here for Daddy to come out. Mommy and Uncle Kevin need to talk.""Okay."Esther and Kevin headed to the stairwell."Kevin, if Bradley doesn't get the surgery..."Kevin's tone was heavy with pessimism. "Esther, mentally prepare yourself. If he doesn't get the surgery..."Although Kevin's sentence remained unfinished, Esther understood the grim outcome he hinted at.However, aside from Mandy's liver, which could be transplanted to Bradley, they hadn't found a better donor yet."Kevin, I'll plead with Mandy..."Esther started to leave.

    "What are you doing?" Esther was taken aback as the elderly couple unexpectedly tried to take her in broad daylight.The couple spoke simultaneously. "Miss, we're truly sorry, but we're just regular parents."They only wanted their daughter to survive, even if it meant breaking the law."Let me go!"Help! Help!"Esther was being forcefully dragged toward the operating room by the elderly couple. Unbeknownst to them, no doctor would dare perform a liver transplant on her without her consent.A passerby, witnessing Esther's struggle and pleas for help, kindly asked, "What's going on?""This is our daughter. She's sick and doesn't want treatment. She wants to run away!""Yes, that's correct!"Hearing the elderly couple's explanation, the bystander chimed in. "Miss, listen to your parents..."Esther couldn't take it anymore and snarled, "I'm not their daughter!""Please, dear. It's just a minor operation. Don't be scared.""It won't hurt at all! Be good."Just then, Jasper app

    Jasper yearned to embrace Esther and provide support, but he restrained his outstretched arms."Esther, why not let me take the liver compatibility test for Bradley?" Jasper proposed.Esther shook her head and elucidated, "There's already a potential liver donor, but she's hesitant. I want to persuade her.""Can I accompany you?" Jasper struggled to manage his emotions, but they got the best of him. He reached out to grasp Esther's arm in concern. "Esther, Bradley is unwell right now, and you must prioritize your own health. You still have Felix and your twin daughters to care for."Esther replied gently, "Thank you for earlier. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for you."Esther hadn't expected the elderly couple to resort to such desperate measures."They should never have resorted to that, no matter how desperate they are to save their daughter," Jasper said, his anger palpable. "And given your fragile health, you should refrain from liver donation.""Jasper,

    Jasper positioned himself in front of Esther, shielding her from Chadwick's hostile and mocking gaze. "Mr. Pendleton, I don't understand your history with Bradley, but putting a woman in such a difficult position is quite rude."Chadwick laughed upon hearing Jasper's words. "Who are you?"Given Chadwick's high status, it was unlikely he knew Jasper.Jasper regained his composure and glanced at the anxious Esther. "I'm Jasper Searle, Esther's friend."Chadwick chuckled. "You're Esther's admirer!"Esther stepped forward, facing Chadwick's mocking stare. "Mr. Pendleton, Jasper is my best friend. You can't say that about him."Chadwick sneered. "Are you naive? Nowadays, there's no such thing as a purely platonic friendship between a man and a woman. Jasper gave up everything for you because he likes you! Do you think he has nothing better to do?""Mr. Pendleton, Esther and I are just friends," Jasper insisted. "I did confess my feelings once, but she turned me down. We agreed to rem

    "Mr. Pendleton's... really..."Kevin didn't think Chadwick was anything special. He relied on his wealthy father's influence in Capitus. However, they didn't dare to cross him due to his father's power."Let's start with the compatibility test," Kevin agreed.Esther was solely focused on Bradley, unaware when Kevin and Jasper left. She quietly watched him in his fragile state, wishing he could regain his former confidence and strength.It was heartbreaking for her to see him so weak, and tears streamed down her face, falling onto Bradley's hand. It felt as if her tears were searing sparks onto his skin, causing his heart to flutter.Because of Bradley's illness, Esther couldn't look after Felix either. She had to entrust him to Clark, who was considerate enough not to burden her.Understanding the situation, Felix obediently went with Clark.Doctors and nurses checked on Bradley multiple times, but he remained unconscious. The doctor explained that Bradley experienced excruciati

    Kevin returned to the hospital room with Jasper's test results. Bradley was still unconscious, and Esther sat in a chair, tightly holding his hand."Esther."Esther looked up. Kevin was reluctant to tell her the truth, which was reflected in her reddened eyes.Jasper's liver was not a match for Bradley's transplant, an expected outcome."Jasper's liver isn't suitable either. But don't worry. We'll keep searching."Esther hesitated for a moment and nodded gently. "We'll surely find a suitable one."Kevin had mixed feelings. He thought perhaps things would not be as smooth as they had hoped. After all, it was a liver! Finding a suitable one for transplantation was truly difficult."Don't lose hope. We'll find one as long as we don't give up."Kevin left the room and sat on a bench outside, anxiously pulling at his hair.As a doctor, he had seen death many times and knew there were many situations where they were powerless. It was just that… He took a deep breath and stood up. Ju

    A glint of mockery flashed through Mandy's clear eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm not here to donate my liver. I just came to visit Mr. Warner."The joy on Esther's face instantly fell as if a cracking ice."Ms. Pendleton, please..." Esther grabbed Mandy's hand urgently, completely disregarding any decorum. She held Mandy's hand tightly as if she were clutching a lifeline. "Please, please save him! If you can save him, I'm willing to do anything!"Mandy slightly frowned and winced, pulling her hand back from Esther's pleading grip. "Mrs. Warner, you're hurting me."Kevin and Esther could not hear the mocking undertone in Mandy's use of "Mrs. Warner"."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Esther apologized hoarsely.Kevin helped explain from the side, "Ms. Pendleton, Esther was just anxious. Please understand.""Mrs. Warner, let's talk."Esther was overjoyed that Mandy took the initiative to talk to her. "Okay, let's talk."They went to a nearby café outside the hospital. It was cozy with lush g

    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
