My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 559

Chapter 559 

Esther’s panic-filled gaze fixed upon the elderly couple before her. She urgently questioned, “Who are you? I don’t know you! Please, leave!” 

Tears welled up in the eyes of the elderly pair. Samantha Maltby, the elderly lady, threw herself before Esther, clutching the hem of her pants with a desperate grip. She sobbed. “Miss, your liver can save my daughter. I beg you, please save her!” 

Esther stood in shock, finally comprehending their intent. They were seeking her liver. Yet, she couldn’t imagine how this couple had knowledge of the confidential matching process. 

“Please, stop crying,” Esther implored, guiding Samantha to sit on the couch. 

Samantha’s grasp remained unyielding, her frail hands gripping Esther’s own with surprising strength. 

“Miss, you seem like a kind soul. I beg you, please save my daughter,” Samantha pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion. “My daughter’s life has been a relentless struggle. If you refuse, she’ll have no way out.” 

Samantha’s tears felt like they were seeping into Esther’s heart. As a mother herself, Esther could empathize with the depths of a mother’s willingness to sacrifice everything for her child. 

“Your daughter?” Esther asked. 

Michael Ludington, the elderly man, held Samantha by her shoulders, his eyes brimming with tears. “Late stage liver cancer.” 

“Miss, we overheard some doctors and nurses talking, and that’s how we discovered that your liver matches our daughter. We approached you in secret. It might seem unethical, like we’re pressuring you, but Miss, you’re a mother too. Can you grasp our desperation?” 

Samantha’s tears continued to flow. 

Supporting Samantha, Michael continued his plea. “My daughter’s life has been fraught with hardship. She fell in love with a man in college. They married right after graduation and had a child. But… that man cheated on her and fathered a child with another woman. He disdained my daughter for giving birth to a girl and coerced her into a divorce. 

“My daughter resisted, and he resorted to violence, landing her in the hospital and traumatizing our granddaughter, who remains timid and fearful to this day. Later, my daughter received the grim diagnosis of liver cancer, and that man brought his lover and son into their home, exerting immense pressure on my daughter to divorce.” 

Esther took a deep breath and spoke softly. “I’m unsure if my liver is suitable for your daughter. Let me consult the doctor. If my liver is indeed a match, I will willingly donate it to save her.” 

Esther was prepared to help from a mother’s perspective. She also held hope that someone would extend the same kindness to Bradley, a patient she cared for. 

The elderly couple was overwhelmed with gratitude and immediately knelt before Esther once more. 

“Thank you, thank you.” 

“You’re a good person, and you’ll surely be rewarded.” 

Tired and drained, Esther sent the elderly couple away and immediately called Kevin. She quickly explained the situation: The elderly couple desperately sought her help for a liver donation.
