My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 11

After Bradley left the ward, he told the doctor, “Run a comprehensive check on Esther tomorrow.

Nothing can go wrong in Felix’s surgery.” “Yes, Mr. Warner.” Esther’s legs gave way, and she slid to the

floor after Bradley left. She got on the bed with difficulty and fetched her phone to read up on acute

leukemia. Each case was terrifying, and she read with a thumping heart. She had done the first check

in the hospital tonight, and the result would only come out tomorrow. Only then could she be

determined to carry on with the second detailed check. If the second one was fine, she could donate

her bone marrow to Tinkerbell. Esther read up on the information and memorized the knowledge she

found about leukemia, including aftercare and more. As she read, she fell asleep gradually. Bradley

returned to Felix’s ward, where the boy and Liliane were drawing with oil pastels. “Daddy,” Felix

greeted him crisply. Once Bradley recalled that Felix had helped Esther trick the bodyguard, his face

fell. “Who allowed you to see her?” he asked. Felix was quite scared of the angry Bradley, so he

stiffened and didn’t dare to speak. Liliane quickly stood in front of Felix and explained, “Brad, don’t

blame Felix. Maybe he overheard it when I was talking about it with the nurses. You know him. He’s the

kindest…” Bradley sat down before Felix and asked softly, “Felix, how did you know they’re in

Sunflower Welfare?” “I took him there for charity before.” Liliane sobbed with reddened eyes. “After

Felix was diagnosed, I thought I’d do more charity and took him to the welfare home a few times. He

probably got to know them then.” Felix looked up. “Daddy, is the pretty lady really Pixie and Tinkerbell’s

mommy?” Bradley stroked his son’s hair and said softly, “Yes.” Felix’s eyes, which were exactly like

Bradley’s, crinkled when he smiled. “That’s great. Pixie and Tinkerbell have their own mommy too…”

Liliane’s heart sank when she looked at the happy boy. Was this what they said about being bonded by

blood? How could Felix feel so close to Esther and her daughters? It seemed that becoming Mrs.

Warner had to be expedited lest the longer it dragged on, the more issues would occur! “Felix, do you

like that pretty lady who’s donating her bone marrow to you?” Liliane’s smile was friendly, but she

inwardly cursed him for being ungrateful. She had been taking care of him for over four years, and he

liked Esther the first time he saw her. Felix answered gleefully, “Yes! But I like Mommy the most in this

world.” Liliane was slightly appeased as she pinched Felix’s face and said enviously, “I thought I raised

an ungrateful brat…” Felix furrowed his brows and asked Bradley in confusion, “Daddy, what’s an

ungrateful brat?” Bradley shot Liliane a warning look. The latter’s heart clenched. Sh*t! She nearly

exposed her true thoughts! Liliane quickly diverted the topic. “Felix, what are you drawing?” Felix

approached Bradley and talked about his drawing seriously. “This is Daddy, this is Mommy, this is me,

this is little sister…” As Felix talked, a drop of blood fell from his nose and landed on the drawing paper.

Liliane exclaimed, “Felix’s bleeding!” Bradley pulled some tissue to wipe Felix’s nose, but the blood

simply would not stop. Liliane pressed the emergency bell, and the doctor and nurses rushed in. “Mr.

Warner, please make way.” Felix was wheeled away for rescue. Bradley looked at Liliane, who was at a

loss, and told her hoarsely, “Stay here.” “Brad, I’m scared…” Liliane was pale in panic. Bradley took a

long look at her before turning around to go to Esther’s ward and kicking her door open. “Who is it?”

Esther was startled awake from her dream. Bradley did not give her any chance to react as he

forcefully dragged her up from the bed. “Bradley, what’s gotten into you again?” Esther asked

anxiously, “What happened?” Bradley ignored her and dragged her to the doctor. “Run the second test

on her right now and arrange for the surgery as soon as the result is out.” Bradley had wanted to give

Esther a week of rest, but he could not wait upon seeing how critical Felix’s condition was. Compared

to the woman’s damned life, Bradley hoped his son could live healthily. The doctor followed his order

and ran the second test on Esther. The second one was more comprehensive and detailed than the

first, so Esther lay still like a puppet as the doctor and nurses did all sorts of tests on her. When

everything was completed, she was sent back to her room. The nurse told her softly, “If the second test This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

is a match, the surgery will start immediately. You can’t eat or drink for the time being.” Esther bit her

lips and nodded lightly. “I understand.” The nurse then continued to tell her some precautions, which

Esther took a mental note of. Felix’s emergency care came to a stop, and the exhausted doctor went to

Bradley and Liliane. “Mr. Warner, Ms. Anstey, Mr. Felix’s condition has suddenly taken a turn for the

worse. If there’s no compatible bone marrow for the transplant, he’ll…” The doctor did not finish, but

Liliane understood what he meant. She looked at Bradley in worry. “Brad, what do we do about our

Felix!?” Bradley was weighed down with worry, but he spared some effort to console Liliane. “Don’t

worry. I’ve already asked for the second round of tests to be run on Esther. Once the result matches,

the surgery can start anytime.” Liliane asked fretfully, “But what if… What if they aren’t compatible?”

“No what if!” Bradley’s gaze was dark and icy. “Esther’s bone marrow will definitely be a match.” Liliane

looked tearfully at Felix in the ward but thought it was only natural for Esther’s bone marrow to be a

match. After all, she was Felix’s birth mother! It was just that she would by no means let Esther donate

her bone marrow to Felix. A gleam of viciousness flashed in Liliane’s eyes. ‘Esther, oh Esther. I wonder

what you’ll do when both your son and daughter need your bone marrow at the same time.’
