Chapter 767


    Suddenly, a sharp pain radiated from Bradley''s heart. He instinctively clutched the edge of the crystal


    coffin, his keen eyes locking onto Esther''s emotionless face.


    "Esther!"


    Esther''s eyes were cold,cking the human warmth one would expect. "Is there anything else you wish


    tomand?"


    Without warning, Bradley seized her by the neck.


    Esther disyed no signs of pain or relief. A sense of defeat washed over Bradley, and he staggered


    back, gazing at Esther.


    Esther was seemingly oblivious to Bradley''s turmoil and smiled gracefully at him.


    "Bradley!

    "Bradley!"


    Mandy''s voice pierced the air, causing Bradley to exit the secret chamber decisively.


    "Is there something you need?" he asked.


    Mandy handed him a neatly arranged fruit tter, speaking gently. "I''ve prepared this fruit tter for


    you."


    "Set it down and leave," hemanded.


    Mandy obediently ced the fruit tter on the table and left the room.


    Once Mandy departed, Bradley returned to the secret chamber with the fruit tter.


    Esther stilly in the crystal coffin, her hands folded neatly over her abdomen and a smile adorning her


    face.


    "Get up." Bradley extended the fruit tter to Esther. "What? You want me to feed you?"


    The fruit tter contained various fruits and some nuts, all meticulously prepared.


    Esther slowly sat up, and Bradley handed her the fruit tter. "Eat it all."


    Esther took the fork and diligently consumed all the fruits and nuts. She was remarkably obedient.


    After all the fruits and nuts had disappeared, Bradley gently caressed Esther''s face and spoke softly.


    "Good girl."


    As Bradley touched Esther''s face, her expression remained calm, devoid of displeasure or impatience.


    "Sleep."


    Esther obediently reclined in the crystal coffin and slowly closed her eyes.


    Bradley cast a lingering gaze at Esther before leaving. He took the fruit tter to the dining room and


    fetched some snacks.


    Mandy strolled into the dining room, dressed in a silk camisole nightgown and slippers. "Bradley,


    having snacks? Was dinner unsatisfactory?"


    Mandy pretended not to know. Bradley typically wouldn''t have snacks—he must be taking them for


    Esther.


    Mandy nced at the empty fruit tter and inwardly raised her eyebrows in triumph. ''Esther, oh


    Esther! I deliberately included two types of fruits and nuts you''re allergic to in this tter. You should be


    experiencing an allergic reaction by now!''
