Chapter 247
“Madam!”
“Madam!”
“Madam, watch out!”
The female bodyguards rushed to Esther’s aid as she stumbled due to her weakened condition. But
Bradley’s quick reflexes allowed him to swiftly pull Esther back into his arms before they could
intervene.
Esther was running a high fever. Even through their clothes, Bradley could feel the scorching heat
emanating from her body, enveloping him entirely.
Gently, he carried Esther in his arms, her weight barely noticeable, and placed her on the bed. One of

Warner, a high fever can be dangerous. I suggest”
“Leave us!” Bradley snapped angrily.
Another bodyguard quickly pulled her companion away.
Bradley looked at Esther, who was barely conscious, and reached for his phone to call Kevin.
“Kevin Slade, where are you?”
Kevin had just landed when Bradley’s call came through. Unaware of Felix’s situation, he jokingly
responded, “Mr. Warner, do you have surveillance tracking me!?”
“Come to the manor immediately.”
Sensing the urgency in Bradley’s voice, Kevin inquired with concern, “What’s going on? Is Felix unwell?

As soon as Esther’s phone was silenced, Bradley’s phone began to ring.
“Bradley, I heard that Esther and Felix were kidnapped? How are they now?” Jasper’s

“Jasper, it’s none of your business to worry about someone else’s wife and child.”
Jasper was momentarily taken aback but remained composed. He casually replied, “If Mr. Warner says
so, then I can rest assured. I was just concerned about Esther and Felix-”
Bradley hung up the phone coldly, not needing Jasper’s feigned concern.
Half an hour later, Kevin hurriedly arrived at the Warner residence.
He learned about the situation during his journey, including Bradley’s public refusal to get married,
Esther’s kidnapping, and Felix’s disappearance.
Kevin could hardly believe how much had unfolded in Bradley’s life in just one day. He also understood
that Bradley continued to stand strong because he dared not fall and couldn’t afford to.
“Bradley?”
Bradley looked at Kevin indifferently and said in a cold tone, “Take a look at her.
