My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 

Shane arrived at the hospital, made his way to Scott’s office, and greeted him. “Scott.” 

Scott was pleasantly surprised. “Shane, what brought you here, my friend?” 

“I was just passing by the hospital on business and thought I’d drop by to see you.” Shane placed the gift. he was carrying on Scott’s desk and smiled. “I heard you’ve made new discoveries in the field of artificial hearts. Congratulations!” 

“It’s a bit early for congratulations now. Wait until I develop an artificial heart that can truly be implanted in the body, then you can congratulate me,” Scott joked with Shane, the atmosphere lively from the banter of two clever people. 

Scott thought about how Shane had once shown an interest in the goddess he admired and how he had grown close to her over the years. He felt a sense of pride. 

After all, the goddess who was once out of reach now actively contacted him repeatedly because of her child. He thoroughly enjoyed the way the goddess tried to please and get close to him. 

“Shane, do you remember our medical school goddess, Leah?” asked Scott. 

Shane thought, ‘If it weren’t for Leah, would I come to see you? What’s so great about a grown man like you?” 

“I do. What about her?” replied Shane. 

Scott was pleased with himself as he said, “She’s at the hospital. How about we have dinner together tonight?” 

“I can do that, but I’m not sure if it’s convenient since she’s a married woman,” Shane said with a hint of

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m a married man. If my wife hears you, she’ll make me sleep in the doghouse,” Shane said seriously but nonsensically. 

“I never expected you to be afraid of your wife!” remarked Scott. 

Shane said in a low voice, “Scott, you’re mistaken. I’m not afraid of my wife. I cherish her! She gave birth to our offspring and takes care of our parents. Shouldn’t I treat her well? But you wouldn’t understand this feeling. After all, you married our professor’s most precious gem. You have to treat her like a queen, right? 

“You…” Scott felt a wave of turmoil. When he was young, he chose a shortcut in life in order to avoid decades of hard work. Little did he know that this shortcut seemed easy to take but was filled with invisible dangers. 

As a son-in-law, his wife had the support of his professor, and even their children didn’t bear his last name. The bitterness and sorrows he carried in his heart were indescribable. People only saw his outward shine, unaware of the inner pain he had no one to share with. 

“Scott, you mentioned that Leah is at the hospital. Why? Is she ill?” asked Shane. 

“No, it’s her daughter who’s ill with a serious heart condition. If they can’t find a suitable heart soon, won’t last another three months!” replied Scott.

Shane furrowed his brows. “I remember she only has one daughter. If something happens to her daughter,
