My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 652

"Liar!" Jolene fiercely glared at Esther before revving her car's engine and speeding away.

Esther rubbed her temples, watching Jolene's disappearing figure.

"Esther, everyone has their own path in life, and we should respect their choices," Agatha said, her tone carrying deep meaning. "Just as I do, as your mentor, respect yours."

Esther's face filled with shame.

Agatha continued. "I can't shield you forever, Esther. Make the most of the time you have with me. Learn as much as you can. You never know when that knowledge might be your lifeline."

"I understand."

Esther cherished her days at the clinic. She faced none of Chadwick's veiled threats, Bradley's relentless pressure, or Selene's unconventional teaching methods. She was just a student, enjoying the peaceful countryside alongside three children.

Jacob, the eldest among them, naturally became the responsible older brother. Sunshine and Felix listened to him, and while Esther delved into her medical studies, the young trio quietly stayed to themselves.

In a little over ten days, Esther regained the weight lost due to her miscarriage and liver donation, her complexion now glowing with renewed vitality.

Running away never solved anything.

Sadie personally came to pick up Esther.

Checking her calendar, Esther noticed the fateful day had indeed arrived.

"Grandma Foster," Sadie said with a forced smile, "I'll take Esther now and bring her back the day after tomorrow."

"Be careful," Agatha cautioned, well aware of the Quills' plans.

"Grandma Agatha, I'm leaving now. Please take care of the children."
