My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 651

Xara knew that highly skilled doctors often had their own quirks. She had hoped that Agatha, Esther’s mentor,

would be different. But it turned out there were no exceptions to the rule.

“Okay, let’s go now,” Xara said.

When Esther returned to the courtyard with the children and ingredients for lunch, Steffan and Xara had already

left.

“Grandma Agatha, where did they go?” she asked.

Agatha was busy sorting through the medicine cabinet, selecting herbs for Jacob.

“They’ve left,” she said, handing a bundle of prepared medicine to Esther. “The larger bundle is for Jacob’s bath

tonight. Brew the smaller one immediately for him to drink.”

From that day forward, Esther and the kids stayed at Agatha’s clinic. Agatha patiently taught her medical

techniques daily with the two young kids by her side. This simple, day-to-day existence brought back a tranquility

Esther had long forgotten.

Chadwick didn’t want to upset Agatha either, considering her invaluable medical skills. They also hoped Esther

could maintain a good relationship with her, especially since they had supported Agatha during her previous

imprisonment.

When Jolene learned about Esther’s current life, she became envious and decided to visit.

“Esther, he’s agreed that I can keep the baby, but he says we must send it away after birth.” Jolene was thrilled.

She knew better than anyone that her child would not be sent away if she could buy some time.

As Esther looked at the youthful Jolene, she couldn’t help but reflect, ‘Love can truly torment a person.’

When she was Jolene’s age, she had also dreamed of becoming Bradley’s wife and having his children.

What had she gained from it?

Love wasn’t a lesson you could learn from others—you had to experience the bruises and scars yourself to truly

understand the pain it could cause.

Agatha glanced at Jolene sitting in a rocking chair and asked bluntly, “Is Chadwick the father of your child?”

Annoyed, Jolene said, “Esther, didn’t you promise to keep it a secret?”

Agatha clarified, “She hasn’t said a word.”

“Then how on earth did you…” Jolene was munching on a sour-sweet fruit she had picked up, likely due to her

pregnancy cravings. “How did you figure it out? You’re no psychic!”

Agatha moved closer to Jolene and gently took her pulse, holding her slender wrist.

After a moment, she said seriously, “As a doctor, I strongly recommend terminating this pregnancy.”

“Why?” Jolene’s expression turned to dismay.

Agatha said with a touch of empathy, “The child you’re carrying has a heart condition.”

“That’s impossible!” Jolene vehemently protested. “Absolutely impossible.”

Resignedly, Agatha cautioned, “I’m just trying to warn you. If you don’t believe me…”

Jolene had been looking forward to this child and was completely absorbed in the joy of impending motherhood.

And now Agatha was telling her that the child had a heart defect. How could she accept this?

“Are you trying to get back at me on behalf of your apprentice? Are you trying to trick me into aborting my baby?

I’ll tell you right now. I won’t abort this child! If you can’t accept my child, then I’ll go out of my way to give birth!”

Having faith in Agatha’s expertise, Esther suggested, “Jojo, my mentor wouldn’t do something like that. Maybe you

should consider a comprehensive prenatal examination?”
