My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

The doctor used a cotton ball soaked in alcohol to clean Esther’s wound. She endured the intense pain with clenched teeth.

“When will she recover fully?” Chadwick asked.

“It depends on how well she takes care of herself,” the doctor replied. “With proper rest and care, it’s three to five days. But if she neglects herself, it could take a lifetime.”

“You heard that? Take good care of yourself!” Chadwick reprimanded.

After treating the wound, Chadwick took Esther back home to the Pendleton residence.

Trying to please Selene, Chadwick sat beside her and massaged her shoulders. “Mom, I’m entrusting your daughter-in-law to you. Please, take good care of her.”

Seeing her son’s indirect attempt to protect Esther, Selene responded with a cold hum. “Alright, just say what you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush.”
