My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

The black-clad man, caught off guard by Esther’s unexpected resistance, swiftly placed Felix into her arms and approached the unconscious man to assess the situation. 

Esther quietly trailed behind him, gently asking, “Is he drunk?” 

Seizing the opportune moment, as the man was about to tend to the unconscious individual, Esther fiercely thrust the bone she held in her hand into the man’s pressure point. A groan escaped his lips as he crumpled to the ground. 

Swiftly, Esther retrieved plastic zip ties from their bags and skillfully bound the hands and feet of both men. She ingeniously connected them together, buying them valuable time to make their escape. 

“Mommy, are you finished?” Felix whispered softly. 

Esther nodded reassuringly and grasped Felix’s hand as they exited the washroom. Spotting an old bed sheet in the distance, she twisted it into a makeshift rope, tying one end to the women’s washroom door and the other to the men’s washroom door. 

With that task completed, she led Felix by the hand, swiftly descending the stairs. It became evident to Esther that they were in an abandoned prison hospital that seemed to have been deserted for years. Dust covered the staircase, and spiderwebs adorned the walls. 

Guiding Felix into an open area overrun with tall weeds, Esther warily retreated, wary of hidden snakes lurking in the grass, Hastily, she made her way along the ground floor, heading toward the room housing the main entrance. 

“Felix, can you keep running?” 

After only a short sprint, Felix’s face reddened with exhaustion, having recently undergone a bone marrow transplant and with limited prior physical activity. 

Esther cast a concerned glance at Felix and, realizing his fatigue, lifted him into her arms. The mother and son continued their desperate run, with Felix’s sturdy physique making it challenging for Esther to carry him. Nonetheless, she pressed on, aware that stopping was not an option. 

She knew all too well that if the two black-clad men captured them, their fate would be unimaginably tragic. 

As Esther eavesdropped, she heard voices discussing a kidney extraction scheduled for the day. 

“Did you inform them about today’s kidney extraction?” 

Esther concealed herself in a room, partially opening the door to observe the corridor outside. She glimpsed individuals in black attire, similar to those who had abducted her. 

“We’ve already informed them.” 

“Wait here. Once the person arrives, take them to the operating room.” 

“But Mr. Hoyer has reserved the operating room for a surgery today.” 

“What kind of surgery?” 

“It appears to be a heart surgery.” 

“As soon as the operating room becomes available, proceed immediately with the kidney extraction. We cannot afford to offend our benefactor.”
