My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 812

Kevin left the hospital room after speaking.

Bradley took a deep breath, holding back the urge to punch Kevin.

As Kevin exited, the doctor felt an unexpected pang of envy. Although Kevin was no longer the hospital director, the

doctor continued to receive Bradley’s salary. He felt trapped.

“Mr. Warner, you have gastric bleeding and require hospital treatment. Please cooperate.”

Bradley gazed at the doctor momentarily, then replied, “It seems like there’s something wrong with my heart.”

Upon hearing that, the doctor swiftly reviewed Bradley’s medical records. “Mr. Warner, according to your cardiac

ultrasound, there is nothing wrong with your heart.”

“My heart sometimes beats very fast and starts to hurt, making it hard to breathe.”

The doctor used his stethoscope to listen to Bradley’s heart, looking puzzled. Bradley’s electrocardiogram readings

were normal.

“Can you tell me when or in what situations you feel your heart acting up?”

Bradley gently touched his chest, feeling his heart beating beneath. He pondered the doctor’s question, attempting

to uncover why his heart was suddenly behaving this way.

The doctor pressed on, “When did you first notice an issue with your heart?”

“Nine months ago.”

Bradley had first noticed something wrong with his heart nine months ago when Esther was in the ICU, teetering on

the brink of death.

“Where and when? In the ICU ward.”

The doctor inquired further, “Who was in the ICU? Was it a family member?”

“My wife.”

The doctor took a deep breath and cautiously asked, “When you think heart start hurting to the point of numbness,

making it hard to breathe?”

Bradley remained silent.

The doctor continued. “Is it as if someone is using a knife to torment your heart every time you think of her?”

After some hesitation, Bradley looked at the doctor and asked, “Do I have heart disease?”

“Mr. Warner, what I mean is if… If your heart only acts up at specific times or in specific situations, I believe it’s not

heart disease.”

Bradley raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, you’re saying my excruciating heart pain, to the point of incapacitation,

is not heart disease?”

“Could it be that your heart aches when your wife is ill or injured because you love her?”

Bradley stared at the doctor, appearing somewhat incredulous. “So, what are you trying to say?”

The doctor cleared his throat and explained, “Mr. Warner, this isn’t a heart condition. It’s because your wife holds a

special place in your heart. When you think of her, you feel happiness. When she’s not with you, you feel

sadness…”

Kevin, who stood at the room’s entrance, coldly interrupted, “His wife is dead! He pushed her to her death!”

The doctor was rendered speechless.

“Bradley, do you know why your heart feels this way? It’s because your heart is telling you that you love Esther!

Your heart knows it even before you do—you are deeply in love with her!”
