Chapter 706
It illuminated everything, as bright as daylight.
“Dr. Slade, look…”
Kevin swiftly glanced at the distant sky. In the midst of howling winds, an unsteady helicopter wasapproaching the hospital rooftop.
“Get ready,” Kevin ordered, and the whole team stood poised.
Bradley gripped the controls with intense focus, struggling to keep the helicopter steady. Thedashboard’s alarms blared, but he paid no attention to them.
The fierce wind and heavy rain made standing difficult for anyone.
Finally, to the team’s anxious anticipation, the helicopter landed smoothly on the hospital rooftop.
Kevin led his team forward and saw Bradley carrying the unconscious Esther.
“What’s happening, Bradley?” Kevin asked sharply, examining Esther’s lifeless appearance.
Bradley glared and retorted, “I’ll explain later.”
Esther was rushed into the operating room with all the hospital experts assembled.
Drenched from the rain, Bradley sat in a well-lit conference room and demanded, “Tell me, how can shebe treated?”
A brain specialist began, “Mr… Mr. Warner, your wife has suffered a head injury, and the delay ingetting her here is significant. Unfortunately—”
Bradley grabbed a glass from the table and hurled it.
“Are you suggesting my wife is in the hands of incompetence?”
As the hospital director, Kevin had to defend his doctors. He stood up and firmly faced Bradley’sinterrogation.
“Bradley, we are doctors, not gods. You know why Esther got injured. Head injuries have an optimalwindow for treatment, and the longer the delay, the less certain the chances of success.
“I don’t know where you hid Esther, but if anything happens to her, it’s your responsibility. Instead ofblaming us, consider how things reached this point.”
Bradley snarled, “Kevin, as the hospital director—”
Kevin slammed his work ID on the table and interrupted, “Even if I weren’t the hospital director, I’d stillstand up for Esther. Your selfishness, arrogance, and recklessness show you don’t deserve anyone’srespect or love.”
Kevin left his scathing remark and exited the conference room. The experts there were unsure of whatto do.

Kevin took a deep breath and dialed Agatha’s number outside the room.
“Dr. Foster, it’s Kevin. Bradley brought Esther to the hospital, but her condition is grave. I’ll send youthe medical details. If possible, bring Felix. I’m worried…”
Kevin choked up, unable to finish his sentence.
After the call to Agatha, Kevin phoned Jasper.
“Jasper, it’s me. Esther… She—”novelbin
Jasper interrupted, “What happened? Did Bradley harm Esther again? Never mind, I’m coming rightaway.”
After making these two calls, Kevin returned to the conference room with the latest examination results.
“Bradley, these are Esther’s recent medical records. Read and understand the severity of hercondition.”
Bradley examined the records, his gaze darkening at a particular line. “What does this mean?”
Kevin sneered. “It’s a critical condition notice. Can’t you read?”
