My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624 

In a fleeting moment, a self-destructive thought arose in Esther’s mind. She wondered, why not just end it all? Death would put an end to everything. 

No. It was her birth, her life, that had been the mistake. When would this mistake ever end?

to greet her son. 

“Sweetie, Mommy’s right here.” 

Hearing her voice, Felix rushed into her arms and wrapped her tightly. “Mommy, your one and only son is here!” 

A smile broke through Esther’s tears as she gently ran her fingers through Felix’s hair. “Who brought you here, my sweetie?” she asked. 

“Uncle Jasper did!” Excited, Felix unzipped his backpack and took out a box of cookies, eagerly handing them to his mom. 

“Mommy, our teacher gave these out at school. Trust me, they’re super delicious.” He opened the box, grabbed a star-shaped cookie, and offered it to Esther. “Mommy, try this!” 

Savoring the crisp, flaky cookie, Esther chuckled. “You’re right. It’s very delicious.” 

“Mommy, Uncle Jasper told me you gave your liver to another lady. You’re like a superhero!” Felix climbed beside Esther, gently wiping the tears from her face with his tiny hands. Concern filled his voice as he asked, “Mommy, why are you crying?” 

Esther pressed her forehead against Felix’s and murmured, “Just seeing you fills me with joy, sweetie.” 

“Mommy, the school that Aunt Sadie picked for me is amazing! I’m really happy there!” Felix talked excitedly about his school life, oblivious to everything else. 

Esther’s gaze rested on her son, and she felt overwhelmed with self-reproach. How could she have considered such a reckless act? She still had Felix, as well as her missing daughter. As their mother, her unwavering responsibility was to protect them at all costs. If she failed in that, could she even call herself a mother? 

“So, my sweetie, have you made any friends at school?”
