Chapter 577


    “L… I…”


    Esther trembled as she looked at the gruesome photo once more, her fear and panic still very much


    alive.


    Bradley’s expression was dark and foreboding, his eyes resembling an enigmatic ck hole that


    seemed to draw Esther in.


    “Who sent this to you?” he asked.


    Esther’s gaze bore into Bradley’s hand, which held the phone. To her immense relief, there was no sign


    of any injury or surgery. His hand was entirely unharmed.


    “Bradley, your hand…”


    In response, Bradley tossed Esther’s phone onto the bed and seized her delicate neck, sending a


    sharp. pain coursing through her body. Her lips quivered, but a smile of relief formed beneath her tears.


    This was no dream-Bradley’s hand was whole.


    “Why are you smiling?” Bradley demanded menacingly.


    Despite her tears, Esther continued to smile. “Bradley, your hand is intact… Your hand is fine… This is


    wonderful!”


    A glistening tear slipped from her eye andnded on the back of Bradley’s hand, feeling like a drop of


    scalding oil. He suddenly released his grip on her neck and loomed over her dominantly.

    “You’re so gullible that I’m beginning to question Felix’s intelligence.”


    He couldn’t believe Esther had fallen for such an obvious Photoshop trick.


    Esther wiped her tears away, took a deep breath, and looked at Bradley with teary eyes. “Felix is


    incredibly intelligent.”


    She meant Felix had a high IQ.


    Bradley snorted. “He’s smart because of me. If he had taken after you…”


    “That’s precisely why Felix is a genius!” Esther’s gaze softened as she thought of Felix. It then


    reminded her of her missing daughter. She asked tentatively, “I’m sure our daughter is just as adorable,


    isn’t she?”


    Bradley looked at Esther in exasperation, his eyebrows furrowing. His tone turned hostile. “With all your


    questions, you’re just trying to find out where she is, aren’t you?”


    “Yes!” Esther desperately wanted to know her daughter’s whereabouts and well-being. She couldn’t


    hold back any longer.


    Bradley gestured for her toe closer. “Come here.”


    Esther believed Bradley would finally reveal where her daughter was, so she eagerly approached him.


    In one swift motion, Bradley pressed her onto the sofa, unbuckled his belt with one hand, and used it


    to


    bind her wrists.


    “Bradley!”


    Esther turned frantic, pleading with Bradley.


    No! She had recently undergone a miscarriage and hadn’t fully recovered. If Bradley acted recklessly


    now, she could get an infection.


    “What are you doing?!”.


    Bradley forcefully pushed Esther’s head away and pressed her down onto the soft sofa pillow.
