My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 12

Esther’s phone rang in the ward. She looked at the anonymous number and answered it without

hesitation. “Hello?” It was an incredibly sweet voice on the other end of the line. “Hello. Is this Ms.

Esther Quill?” “Yes. Who’s speaking?” “Hi, I’m a hematology doctor at People’s Hospital. According to

the result of your first test for bone marrow donation with us, you’re preliminarily confirmed to match

one of our patients. Please come to the hospital for a second, more comprehensive test as soon as you

can…” “Okay, okay. I’ll be right there.” When Esther heard that it was a call from People’s Hospital and

was informed that her bone marrow was a match, she naturally assumed that she could donate it to

Tinkerbell. She stood up in joy and quickly got changed to go to the hospital for the second test. Esther

went to the balcony, only to discover that a female bodyguard was sitting on the first floor’s garden.

“Ms. Quill?” The bodyguard greeted Esther when she saw her on the balcony. At the same time, she

pressed the emergency contact on her phone. Esther knew that the balcony would not work and

hurried to the door. Before she could open it, the female bodyguard entered. “Ms. Quill, can I help you

with anything?” Esther thought about it and chose to be honest. “I want to go to People’s Hospital. I just

received a call from them saying that the result of my first test matches one of their patients…” The

bodyguard patiently listened to her but mercilessly rejected her request to leave. “Ms. Quill, I’m sorry.

Without Mr. Warner’s order, you cannot leave this room.” Once Esther thought of how Tinkerbell was

still waiting for her bone marrow transplant, she quickly said, “I understand that this is your job. Don’t

worry. I won’t run away. If you’re worried, you can follow me. I promise—” “Ms. Quill, please don’t make

things difficult for me.” Esther using Felix to leave the hospital previously had caused the bodyguard to

be punished. This time, she would not give Esther any chance to leave the hospital. “Alright, I

understand.” Esther sat back down on the bed helplessly. The bodyguard replied politely, “I’ll leave you

to rest then. Good night, Ms. Quill.” After she left, Esther took out Pixie and Tinkerbell’s photo. She

stared at it for a moment and took a deep breath, deciding to call Jasper. “Jasper, it’s me.” Jasper woke

up from sleep groggily. His voice was a sleepy drawl. “Esther? What’s up?” “Jasper, People’s Hospital

called me just now saying that the result of my first test shows my bone marrow matches a patient. This

means that my bone marrow is definitely compatible with Tinkerbell. I thought I’d go to the hospital now

for the second round of tests, but I’m trapped here because of Bradley. I can’t go anywhere. Can you

help me leave?” Jasper replied, “Let me figure something out. Wait for my update.” “Thank you,

Jasper.” Esther was no longer sleepy after ending the call. She could not help imagining the pleasant

daily life after she reunited with her daughters. She would look for a house. It did not have to be huge.

Just four rooms would be enough. Her daughters would have a room each, and the extra one would be

turned into a study room. She would make the house feel homey and warm. If her daughters liked

playing the piano, she would buy a piano. She would turn the living room into a practice room if they

liked dancing. She would make plenty of delicious meals and feed them well. She would also learn how

to tailor to make them unique dresses. She would also learn how to braid hair and give them different

hairstyles daily. Esther would dote on them till they were the happiest little princesses in the world. In This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

the same hospital… Felix was still in emergency care as all his data did not do well. Not only were the

doctors on duty there, but even those on leave and the pediatric experts from People’s Hospital and

experts from other cities had all rushed over. Despite the countless experts, they came to the same

conclusion after their diagnoses. Felix’s current state could only be helped with a bone marrow

transplant—the sooner, the better. If it happened too late and his organs began to deteriorate, the

transplant could not save him either. After Bradley listened to the experts’ opinions, he questioned with

a glower, “When can Esther’s second test result come out?” A doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead

and stammered, “One more hour.” Bradley took a deep breath. His eyes were deadly and icy. “Get the

operation ward ready now. Carry out the surgery as soon as the result’s out.” All of Bradley’s hope was

in Esther’s second test result. What if the result turned out not to be ideal? “Cole.” Bradley’s assistant,

Cole, responded. “Mr. Warner.” “Update the reward online. As long as they’re willing to sign and

become a bone marrow donor, pay them $1,500 each. $15,000 for those who did the first round of tests

and $150,000 for those who did the second round. Once the test turns out to be a match, they’ll be

rewarded with $15,000,000 in cash and provided with a permanent position in the Warner Group with

an annual salary of $150,000 after taxes and a bonus package equivalent to that of the company’s GM

level.” “I’ll publish it now,” replied Cole. Bradley’s hands balled into fists, and the veins on his forehead

popped. He exuded an aura of coldness. No matter the price, he would save Felix. Cole was efficient.

Jasper saw the information online right away. He did not browse the netizens’ comments but called

Esther. “Esther, I saw Bradley raising the reward money online just now. Do you know what this

means? It means that his son’s condition has worsened. He probably won’t let you out of the hospital

now.” Esther could barely breathe upon learning that Felix’s condition had worsened. She put a hand

over a chest and rubbed the unreasonable pain and suffocation away. “Jasper, pick me up first. I want

to do the second test in the hospital. If the result is a match, I can donate to Felix and then Tinkerbell.”

Jasper was taken aback and asked in concern, “Do you think bone marrow donation is as simple as

blood donation? Given your current state, how could you possibly go through two bone marrow

transplant surgeries within a short time?” “Jasper, Felix’s a child. It’s not his fault that Liliane’s his

mother,” Esther said self-deprecatingly. “Besides, no one can be sure that my bone marrow is

compatible with him.” “I’ll figure something out. Just get ready.” Jasper hung up after saying that to

Esther and received a call from Sunflower Welfare’s director, Camila. “Mr. Searle, I’m Jenner from

Sunflower Welfare.” Camila sounded agonized. “I have bad news for you!”
