My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chater 264

Chapter 264

Bradley’s eyes fixated on the distant location of the rescue team, his face etched with coldness and

determination.

“But my dad said my grandma is sick overseas. She…”

Ben’s words trailed off as he encountered Bradley’s cold and mocking gaze. Though his heart was in

turmoil, he firmly held onto his belief that his father was not the villain they portrayed

him to be.

The night grew darker.

On the deck, the two kidnappers ran a high fever, wrapped in blankets as a doctor administered

intravenous drips to them. Their gazes met, filled with despair. They realized that being trapped

between survival and death was more agonizing than they had ever imagined.

If they could turn back time, they would never have become involved with Shane.

Rescue efforts continued, but with each passing second, the chances of finding Felix alive

dwindled.

Esther leaned against the railing, her hand gripping it tightly as she stared down at the sea. Her body

leaned forward involuntarily, tempted to plunge into the depths to join Felix in death.

Sensing Esther’s intentions, Bradley swiftly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into a

protective embrace. “Esther, what are you thinking?”

Esther looked at Bradley’s serene profile, taken aback, before softly uttering, “Felix would be cold.”

The seawater was frigid, too cold for even adults to endure, let alone a child. Esther was overwhelmed

with guilt. Her emotions spiraled out of control, and she slapped herself in anguish.

It was her fault.

She had been holding Felix’s hand, so why did she let go when Bradley arrived? Even if they had held

her at gunpoint, she should have clung to Felix’s hand, plunging into the sea with him when he was

kicked into its depths.

If she and Felix had fallen together, holding on tightly, there might have been a chance for survival.

Her heart ached uncontrollably, tears blurring her vision as she looked at Bradley, desperately seeking

reassurance. “Bradley, we will find Felix, won’t we?”

Bradley remained silent, causing Esther to repeatedly reach out and strike his chest, consumed by grief

and anger. “Our son will be found, won’t he?”

He had to be found! He had to be safe! Felix would be okay!

Through tear-filled eyes, Esther whispered, her voice trembling, unable to see the deep pain mirrored

in Bradley’s expression as he stood before her.

“Bradley, Shane is here!” Kevin rushed over, holding binoculars, his words filled with urgency.

That despicable man, Shane Hoyer, had planned to flee overseas with his wife and son. Fortunately,

they discovered it in time. Otherwise, that scoundrel would have escaped!

“Hoyer Jr., open your eyes and your heart to truly see if Shane is a good man or a villain.”

Ben’s innocent face remained resolute and calm as he assured, “My dad is definitely a good person.”
