Female Novel
Chapter 769
Bradley couldn’t muster the patience to read every line of Jasper’s messages. To him, those messagesfelt like a silent taunt, as if they were telling Bradley that Jasper loved and cared for Esther more. Everyword hit Bradley’s sensitive nerves.
In a decisive move, Bradley blocked Jasper. After doing so, he reopened the chat box and carefullyreviewed the messages. When he saw the allergens Jasper had mentioned, he jumped from his chairin shock.
He clutched his phone and dashed into the secret chamber like a whirlwind. There, he found Esther inthe crystal coffin, covered in hives due to an allergy. Her lips had turned a faint shade of purple, andher eyes were shut as if in death.
“Esther!” Bradley called out, but she remained motionless.
He scooped her from the crystal coffin in a hurry, ignoring everything else, and rushed her out of thebedroom. As he reached the garage, he spotted Mandy in the garden, seemingly slightly tipsy. Shelooked at the unconscious Esther in Bradley’s arms, a mix of shock and panic on her face.
“Bradley, how did Esther end up here?” she asked.
Bradley didn’t have the patience for small talk and snapped at Mandy, “Step aside.”
Mandy not only refused to step aside but sauntered closer to where Esther lay. “It seems like she’shaving an allergic reaction. Are you taking her to the hospital?”novelbin
Suppressing her inner delight, Mandy feigned concern and said, “But it’s too late for her to go to thehospital in this condition. I remember we have epinephrine auto-injectors here. I’ll get it for you.”
“Hurry up!”
Mandy rummaged around before pretending to find the epinephrine auto-injector.
Bradley snatched it from her and forcefully administered it to Esther.
Mandy also handed a glass of warm water to Bradley. With one hand holding Esther and the otherholding the water, Bradley tried to help Esther drink. However, Esther couldn’t swallow a drop, and thewater trickled down her lips, following a path down her neck.
“Bradley, how did Esther have an allergic reaction?” Mandy asked.
Bradley’s intense gaze bore into Mandy. “I should be asking you this.”
“You are Esther’s ex-husband. You didn’t tell me what foods she’s allergic to.” Mandy refused to takeresponsibility for causing Esther’s allergies despite intentionally triggering them.
Bradley was unaware of that. The real Mandy couldn’t have known about Esther’s food allergies. Shehad simply sent the fruit platter that the service staff had prepared to Bradley. She had no way ofknowing that Bradley would give it to Esther. After all, he had previously claimed that Esther wasn’t atWarner Manor.
As the medicine took effect, Esther’s symptoms improved slightly. Her lifeless face began to show aglimmer of vitality.
“It seems that Esther’s condition is getting better.” Not wanting to deal with an angry Bradley, Mandyspoke softly. “I think I’ll go to rest now. Goodnight.”
“Wait.” Bradley stopped Mandy, who was about to leave. She looked at Bradley with a curiousexpression, wearing an elegant but fake smile. “Yes?”
“Esther is not at Warner Manor. Understand?” he warned.
