My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 

Pale with fear, Esther was comforted by Felix, who whispered in her ear to calm down. She gestured for silence, fearing that any noise would attract the black-clad men’s attention. outside the corridor. 

Esther felt a sense of gratitude that they hadn’t run out into the open field earlier. They would have become easy targets in the waist-high wild grass if they had. Worry flickered in Esther’s bright eyes as she looked down at the dust on her white shoes. 

The stairwell they had just escaped from was filled with thick dust. Once the black-clad men upstairs woke up, they would easily track her through the footprints. 

What should they do now? 

Esther was frantic and at a loss. She had given up hope that Bradley would come to her rescue. It was up to her to find a solution. 

Bumping her head lightly against the wall, she regretted wasting her time in prison, grieving over the deaths of her children. If she had known what terrors awaited her upon release, she would have focused on studying, reading books, and learning self-defense.

Esther held Felix tightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “Felix, if you go call the police, we have hope. But if you don’t, both of us…” 

Esther didn’t finish her sentence as the sound of a car engine in the distance caught their attention. They pressed against the door to get a glimpse outside and saw an ambulance parked nearby. A group of black-clad men emerged, pushing a young man out of the ambulance. 

“He’s so young…” 

“The boss said to find a young man. Healthy kidneys, you know?” 

“Oh… healthy kidneys.” 

The black-clad men joked while pushing the young man inside. 

“The elevator’s here. You guys stay down here.” 

Esther’s heart sank. She and Felix would be in danger if they brought the person to the 

operating room and discovered the two black-clad men who had fainted in the bathroom. She 

quietly guided Felix to the window and carefully placed him outside through the open window. Felix held onto the window ledge, looking at Esther anxiously. “Mommy, let’s escape together!
