My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 748

"Clark! Wake up!

"Clark, don't fall asleep!"

Esther felt a rush of fear, her heart pounding. He worried that Clark might not make it.

Gabriel gritted his teeth through the pain and approached the cement truck.

"Get out of the car," he commanded.

The cement truck's door creaked open, and a man smelling of alcohol stumbled out. As he stepped out, a card fell from the truck.

Gabriel leaned down to pick up the card, too distracted to keep an eye on the drunk driver.

The card featured a bright poppy flower on the front and had a simple message on the back.

[A small token of appreciation].

It was signed with "X."

In an instant, Gabriel stood straight and scanned his surroundings, an unsettling feeling creeping over him. These were the same drug dealers who had left a similar card at Esther's old house when they set it on fire.

Gabriel glanced over at Esther, who was with Clark and Felix some distance away, and felt a chilling sense of being targeted by these criminals.

He rushed up to the cement truck driver, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded, "Tell me! Who told you to do this?"

The driver appeared bewildered. "What are you talking about?"

Gabriel pointed to the card. "This card! Where did it come from?"

The driver asked, "What card?"
