My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 634

The doctor used a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to clean Esther's wound. She endured the intense pain with clenched teeth.

"When will she recover fully?" Chadwick asked.

"It depends on how well she takes care of herself," the doctor replied. "With proper rest and care, it's three to five days. But if she neglects herself, it could take a lifetime."

"You heard that? Take good care of yourself!" Chadwick reprimanded.

After treating the wound, Chadwick took Esther back home to the Pendleton residence.

Selene had changed into different clothes and was sitting on the living room sofa. When she saw Esther and Chadwick, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Didn't you say you were meeting friends?"

Trying to please Selene, Chadwick sat beside her and massaged her shoulders. "Mom, I'm entrusting your daughter-in-law to you. Please, take good care of her."

Seeing her son's indirect attempt to protect Esther, Selene responded with a cold hum. "Alright, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."

"Mom, my dearest mother, your daughter-in-law just had her dressing changed at the hospital. The doctor advised her to rest well. Please look after her," he said.

Selene snorted disdainfully. "Am I a wicked mother-in-law?"

"Who said that? My mother is the most beautiful and the best mother-in-law in the world!"

"Get lost!"

Chadwick playfully bowed. "Your son is leaving, Mom."

He glanced at Esther, grabbed his car keys, and left, humming a tune.
