Female Novel
Chapter 14
Esther’s repeated escape had only made Bradley’s rage burn his rationale away. He stepped on thepedal again to run the Bentley onto the pavement. Jasper kept Esther in his arms during the collisionand nearly passed out from the collision. Bradley looked at the Bentley in front of him with a dark lookand pulled out his phone to make a call. “Cole, get some men over.” Even with Jasper’s protection,Esther’s forehead was busted. Blood flowed like a small stream. She looked at Bradley, who feltmurderous outside the car, and trembled in fear. Bradley got out of his car, looking like he could kill,and kicked the Bentley’s door open to pull Esther out brutally. His eyes were screaming bloody murderas he choked Esther by the neck and slammed her against the Bentley’s door. Esther felt like Bradleywas going to snap her neck and pushed him on the chest as much as she could. It was just that herstrength was nothing before the man. “How dare you escape twice within the same night, Esther!? “Youshould feel lucky that you’re still useful or else…” If Felix was not in the hospital waiting for thiswoman’s bone marrow to save him, Bradley could not hold himself back from breaking her neck withhis own hands. Bradley kept squeezing, and Esther’s face turned purple. Her oxygen was running outfrom her lungs bit by bit. Death shadowed Esther, but she thought of Tinkerbell in the hospital andpunched the car hard. Jasper, who was disorientated from the collision, heard Esther’s cry for help andforced himself out of the car. He shakily staggered between Esther and Bradley. “Mr. Warner, yourson… will be dead if Esther dies!” Bradley sneered. “Jasper, a sl*tty b*tch like this is worth sacrificingyour life?” “Mr. Warner, even though your marriage with Esther isn’t perfect—” Before Jasper finished,Bradley chuckled coldly. “This marriage is a humiliation in my life.” Bradley’s expression was menacingas he warned Jasper. “Don’t get involved!” He let go of his chokehold on Esther abruptly. Like adrowning person, Esther held the Bentley door and took in gulps of fresh air. She stood before Bradleywith a bloodied face and could not help blurting Tinkerbell’s birth when she thought of how the girl hadbeen sent off in an ambulance. “Bradley! Pixie and Tinkerbell in Sunflower Welfare are our daughters. Ifyou don’t believe it, you can do a paternity test right now!” Not only did Bradley not believe her, but hiseyes also brimmed with mockery. “I don’t believe a word you say, Esther!” Bradley then yankedEsther’s arm and pulled her to his car without a care. Jasper hurried forward to catch up and advised
hoarsely, “Bradley Warner, calm down!” Calm down? When his son was on the brink of death? And theperson who promised to save him kept pushing his limits!? It was then a few black cars skidded to astop in front of Bradley. A squad of trained men in black got out and approached Bradley in a uniformstride. “Mr. Warner!” Jasper remained relentless despite being outnumbered by Bradley. “Bradley, walkover me if you want to take Esther away today!” Bradley glanced at Jasper and ridiculed him. “I don’ttake threats from anyone, Searle. Your life is unworthy of a mention to me. Help her again, and I’ll wipeout the Searles.” Bradley looked at his men and instructed them, “Take good care of Mr. Searle.” Themen in black went up and surrounded Jasper securely. “Bradley, let me save Tinkerbell, please! Ipromise I won’t run away again. I’ll save Felix.” Esther begged Bradley, trying to stir the last bit of hissympathy. Unfortunately, her voice only fueled his rage when he heard her. There was only blankbloodthirst on his handsome face as he impatiently sealed Esther’s mouth with yellow tape. He alsowrapped her hands and feet with tape to prevent her from running off. Bradley tossed her to thebackseat and tied her up with the seatbelt before pulling out his phone. “Get the operation ward ready.Operate on Felix as soon as I arrive.” The car sped toward the hospital without care. Esther closed hereyes in despair… ‘Tinkerbell, hold it out a bit more! ‘Mommy will save you! ‘Wait for me!’ The car cameto a stop in front of the hospital, and Bradley pulled Esther out to hand her over to the doctor andnurses. Without Bradley’s instruction, no medical professional in the hospital dared free Esther of herrestraints. Esther was still tied up when she was sent into the preparation room. After all the prep workwas done, she was then sent to the operation ward. Bradley, who had completely disinfected himself,entered wearing a sterile surgical gown. His gentle gaze fell on another operation theater, where Felixwas under anesthesia. Esther’s bone marrow was compatible with Felix, meaning the boy could bidfarewell to being sick from then on. He could run, skip, and go to preschool like a regular kid. Bradleywould raise him into the most outstanding heir of the Warner Group, so his grandfather would rest inpeace knowing it. On the other side, Esther looked at Bradley pleadingly as she struggled in theoperation theater. The doctors and nurses could not quiet her down. Bradley approached her andlooked down at the girl, who was like a helpless beast. He tore the tape off her mouth. Esther spoke upquickly. “Bradley! Tinkerbell’s just a child. What wrong has she done!?” Bradley squeezed her lowernovelbin
jaw. His answer was a soft murmur, but it was disheartening. “She’s your daughter. It’s an original sinshe carries!” Esther stubbornly wanted to tell him the truth about their daughters to try and rouse hisfeelings. “Bradley, Tinkerbell has acute leukemia. She has to be operated on at once or she’ll die!“Please, Bradley, I beg you! Let me go! “She’s your daug—” Bradley choked Esther’s neck once moreuntil she could not make another sound. The surgical shadowless lamp shone on Esther’s face, makingher look paler while her eyes brimmed with sorrow that stunned Bradley. He could not help looseninghis hold on her neck. “Another word of nonsense, and I’ll kill those b*stards right now!” Esther used thelast bit of her energy to beg with a sob, “Please let me donate to Tinkerbell first. I promise I won’t run. Ipromise you can ask me anything as long as she’s safe. “I’ll donate my bone marrow to Felix, Bradley,trust me. I’ll really donate it to him.” Bradley felt the irony when he heard Felix’s name leaving Esther’slips. “How does the b*stard you gave birth to worth being compared to my son?” Tears of despairwelled in Esther’s eyes. She cried helplessly, “Bradley, Tinkerbell’s really your daughter… Why don’tyou believe it?” “You really could say anything just to save that little b*stard, huh?” Bradley mocked her.He did not want to listen to her lies anymore and taped her mouth again. “Tie her down.” “Yes, Mr.Warner.” The nurses restrained Esther, who kept struggling to the operation theater right in front ofBradley. The moment Esther was tied down, she lost hope. Her eyes were tearful as she looked atBradley, who donned the gown. The anesthesiologist had prepared the anesthetic and was going toinject Esther when Bradley went over and told him, “Give it to me.” Esther struggled with pained sobson the table, her tearful, desperate eyes pleading. ‘Bradley, no! ‘Don’t! ‘Tinkerbell’s still waiting for me!Our daughter’s still waiting for me to save her!’ Bradley looked at Esther, who still wanted to break freedespite being tied up in the operation theater. His surgical glove-clad hand grabbed her fragile neckforcefully, forcing her to look at his cold eyes as he told her cruelly, “Esther Quill, it’s your blessing to beable to save my son.” He let go with that and mercilessly pushed the syringe of anesthetic into Estherwith a blank face.
