Wilson seethed with impotent rage as he was restrained in a chair, his movements hindered. The desire to charge at Bradley and bring them both to their end burned within him, but it remained nothing more than a futile fantasy.
Having served as Lilianeâs attending physician for many years, Wilson was well aware of the situation in her family. With a sinister smile, he targeted Bradleyâs vulnerable spot.
âMr. Warner, is this how you protect your beloved?â He sneered. âOr is it that the mighty Mr. Warner has fallen for a murderer? Esther⦠She killed your grandfather. It was because of her that he diedâ¦â
Wilsonâs maniacal laughter filled the air. âThat wretched Esther deserves to die!
Wilsonâs words pierced Bradleyâs heart like venom. He took a step forward, gripping Wilsonâs chin forcefully.
Wilson felt his jaw straining as if Bradley could shatter his bones at any moment.
âBirch, my wife is not to be spoken ill of by anyone,â Bradley declared with a crazed and ruthless expression. His deep eyes burned with a fierce determination to kill. âWhether she lives or dies is my decision!â
A cryptic chuckle escaped Wilsonâs throat as he met Bradleyâs mocking gaze.
âSheâs guilty. Thatâs her burden. None of you have the right to deny her the right to live just because sheâs guilty!
âNo matter how noble your reasons may seem, a crime is a crime, and murder is murder!â
Bradley released his grip on Wilsonâs chin and casually pulled out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket, wiping his fingers with nonchalance.
Disgust and a menacing aura filled Bradleyâs eyes, sending a chill down Wilsonâs spine.
âNow, I want the truth.â
There was no way Wilson could reveal the truth to Bradley. He couldnât disclose his plan to forcibly take Estherâs heart for Lilianeâs sake.
âThe truth is, I want Esther dead. I want her heartâ¦â
Bradleyâs cold gaze swept over Wilsonâs deranged face.
Without uttering a word, Bradley turned around and left the room.
Outside the room, an elegantly dressed woman carrying a limited-edition Birkin approached Bradley.
âMr. Warner-â
âSave your breath,â Bradley interrupted, looking down at the boy standing beside the woman. His voice was distant and cold. âAs the saying goes, confess and you may receive leniency, resist and you will face severe consequences. Itâs his choice.â
Wilson had made his choice, and Bradley was seeking his revenge.
The doctor who was supposed to save lives turned out to be a merciless killer! Such scum deserved to pay for their actions.
âH-Heâ¦â
The woman attempted to say something, but Bradley walked past her with indifference.
Letting out a sigh, she took her sonâs hand and entered the detention center.
When Wilson caught sight of his wife, Sarah Romney, and child, Tom, a wave of guilt washed over him.
Sarah said, preparing to reveal the truth, âWilson, we are both doctors. I understand why you did this-â
However, Wilson sternly interrupted her. âShe deserves to die.â
