My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 749

Jasper shot up from his chair, startled by Esther's words. He paced in front of her before saying, "Esther, I doubt Bradley would go to such lengths."

"You don't believe he would do something like this?" Esther shivered. She didn't want to suspect Bradley, but the evidence pointed in that direction.

Jasper took a deep breath and reassured her, "Clark has been with the Warners for years, and Bradley treated him well. It's impossible for Bradley to harm Clark. Don't jump to conclusions. I believe Bradley wouldn't do this."

Jasper's defense of Bradley only intensified Esther's fear. She had a sinking feeling that Bradley might indeed be behind this.

It could be Bradley's way of getting back at Clark for refusing to lie on his behalf or a warning to Esther not to consider escape.

He loomed before her like an insurmountable mountain.

"Esther, don't worry. We're here for you."

Hearing Jasper's comforting words, Esther decided not to share her suspicions about Bradley with him. She couldn't risk making Jasper an enemy in Bradley's eyes because of her.

"Okay."

Esther sat in silence while Jasper remained by her side without uttering a word.

Kevin bought some coffee and handed it to Esther and Jasper. He said softly, "Dr. Foster is performing Clark's surgery. Everything should be fine. No need to worry."

Esther took a sip of coffee, the bitterness lingering in her mouth. They all waited quietly outside the operating room. None of them could have foreseen that, not long ago, it was Esther inside, and now it was Clark.
