My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 739

On Esther's birthday, her parents had planned to take her away once they found the drug traffickers' trail, but they were a step too late.

In an attempt to protect Esther and Faye, Esther's father, Cyrus Nightingale, tragically lost his life at the hands of the traffickers, who even started a massive fire. Witnessing this traumatic event, Esther lost all her childhood memories, her mind enveloped in shock.

Listening intently, Esther held onto her clothes and struggled to remember her early years. However, her recollections remained blank, beginning only from her time with the Ansteys.

Oliver furrowed his brow, asking, "Then why did Esther end up with the Ansteys? Why didn't my sister send her back to Capitus?"

Gabriel looked at Oliver and replied in a strained voice, "At that time, she was torn, but... sending Esther back to Capitus would have jeopardized the safety of the Quills, as her true identity had been exposed. I ultimately decided to send her to the Ansteys.

"One reason was that Martin was an old comrade of mine and could provide a safe haven for Esther, away from Capitus and hidden under a new identity.

"Secondly, Billy had a history with Faye—they were university classmates."

Gabriel sighed deeply and apologized, "Esther, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you properly, leading to these five years of injustice."

Esther held no blame for Gabriel. She understood that Bradley, her childhood love, was the one who had caused her suffering.

"Mr. Sinclair, it's not your fault. I just want to know... Is my mother still alive?"

Gabriel shook his head with sorrow, saying, "I'm sorry. I don't know either."

Shocked, Oliver asked, "You don't know either?"
