Bradley nonchalantly pushed aside Logan’s information, diverting his attention to Esther’s personal details.
Esther’s father was an undercover DEA agent. He had executed his mission excellently, only to face retaliation from
a criminal group. Fearing reprisal, he had left one of his twin daughters in the country while placing the other with a
couple abroad after his wife gave birth.
Tragedy struck when the criminal group murdered Esther’s parents. Billy had adopted Esther, but the two sisters
had lost contact completely.
As Bradley perused the seamlessly presented information, a sense of unease gnawed at him. The Esther who had
grown up abroad used a different name overseas, despite still being named Esther.
Rubbing his throbbing temples, Bradley spoke in a low tone. “Dylan, arrange for someone to investigate her
overseas. I need to confirm if there’s actually someone like this.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, Mr. Warner,” Dylan replied promptly and left.
Kevin was shocked and speechless. He struggled to comprehend Bradley’s intentions. Even if Dylan confirmed
Esther’s existence or non-existence abroad, would it truly matter?
“Bradley, if she can’t get a kidney transplant, she might only live for another six months.”
A sinister glint flashed in Bradley’s cold eyes as he brazenly stated, “If she isn’t her, whether she lives or dies has
nothing to do with me.”
Baffled, Kevin reconsidered his initial assumptions. He thought Bradley would imprison her again.
“Good luck then, Bradley.”
Kevin was unsure how to communicate with Bradley. He stood up and briskly walked to the door.
As he reached for the handle, Bradley called out coldly, “Stop!”
Kevin turned back, smiled wryly at Bradley, and warned, “This time, I won’t assist you in your schemes.”
Ever since Esther’s incident, he had been suffering terrible nightmares, regretting being Bradley’s accomplice. If
Esther had committed a crime, the law should judge her. Why did Bradley mistreat a woman who loved him so
deeply, especially when she was pregnant at the time?
“What’s the success rate for a kidney transplant?”
“If there’s a compatible kidney, the success rate is above 95%, but it varies depending on the individual,” Kevin
answered.
“Take me for the match now!”
Observing Bradley’s worn-out appearance, Kevin hesitated. “Bradley, given your current condition, you’re clearly
not suitable for donation… unless you rest properly for a while.”
Bradley had pushed his body to the brink, rendering him ineligible for a transplant until he recovered.
“How long?”

“You can leave now!”
Exiting the hotel, Kevin spotted Dylan entering with a phone in hand.
“Dr. Slade.”
“Dylan, have we met somewhere before?”
Dylan shook his head. “I’m sorry. I don’t seem to recall.”
Kevin walked ahead but glanced back at Dylan, feeling a sense of familiarity without remembering where they had
met.
In the hotel room.
Dylan waited until Bradley emerged wearing a silk bathrobe after a shower.
“Mr. Warner, I’ve hired a detective abroad to investigate Ms. Quill’s past.”
Bradley tapped lightly on the marble tabletop, and a peculiar and excited glint flashed in his sinister eyes.
“Dylan, have you found out when Logan’s engagement party will be held?”
After seeing Esther’s familiar face, Bradley’s possessiveness seized all his rationality. He would bind Esther to
himself even if it meant being at odds with the world!
