Esther desired Bradley to experience her sister's suffering.
"Ms. Quill, please go upstairs and rest. We'll handle this," the police officer reassured.
Esther glanced at Bradley, then turned back to her hospital room escorted by her bodyguards.
"Mr. Warner, your actions have seriously disrupted the hospital's normal operations," the police officer said.
Staring dazedly at Esther's departing figure, Bradley insisted, "She's my wife."
"Allow me to correct you. The late Esther Quill was your ex-wife. The current Ms. Esther Quill is her elder sister." The police officer paid more attention to Esther since her father was a DEA agent.
"Was your former wife allergic to roses?"
Bradley suddenly remembered Esther's dream—to build a rose garden containing every type of rose in the world. If Esther dreamt of a rose garden, she couldn't be allergic to roses. Then why was the current Esther allergic to roses?
"His former wife wasn't allergic to roses," Jasper said, coming up to Bradley with a box of herbal supplements.
Jasper's icy gaze swept over Bradley's suit.
"Jasper, shut your mouth!" Bradley's expression was cold. "This is a matter between my wife and me. It's none of your business."
Jasper mockingly stated, "After driving her to death, you pretend to be affectionate now... Doesn't it disgust you?"
Bradley stepped forward, ready to confront Jasper. "Shut up!"
"Bradley, if Esther knew that you're harassing her sister now, she'd regret ever meeting you," Jasper said, then walked into the hospital building.
After Jasper registered at the front desk, the hospital staff informed Esther. He could visit as a temporary guest if she was willing to meet him.
