My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 12



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 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!”
