My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 74

“No!” As a brave little man, Felix dared to own up to his action and said in a childish voice, “Daddy, why

is the pretty woman still sleeping?”

Bradley did not want his son to be exposed to life and death too early, so he reassured him, “It’s

because she’s very tired. When she’s had enough sleep, she’ll wake up.”

“Daddy, the pretty woman smells really nice!” Felix placed his little hand under Bradley’s nose, asking

softly, “It’s sweet, like a sweet peach.”

Perhaps Felix’s description was too detailed. Bradley actually smelled a faint peach fragrance from

Felix’s little hand, a fragrance so familiar that it made his heart race.

Bradley, who looked fierce and menacing before Esther, had a rare gentle expression as he asked his

son, “Felix, do you want peaches?”

Felix glanced deeply at Esther, then at Bradley, struggling and hesitating in his heart.

“Daddy…”

Bradley asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Can I give the pretty woman a kiss?” asked Felix.

“A kiss?” asked Bradley.

“The prince kisses Sleeping Beauty to wake her up!” Felix proudly puffed out his chest and said in a

childish manner. “I’m a little prince, so I’ll kiss her first! Maybe if I kiss the pretty woman, she’ll wake up

like Sleeping Beauty.”

Bradley wanted to tell Felix that fairy tales were lies, but he could not say it. He did not want to shatter

Felix’s innocence. He indulgently put Felix back on the hospital bed, allowing him to try and wake up

Esther with a kiss.

Felix leaned closer to Esther’s face and kissed her cheek loudly.

“Huh?” Felix looked at Esther, who still showed no signs of waking up, and felt a bit discouraged.”

Daddy, why isn’t the pretty woman waking up?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Bradley’s face. He reached out and gently rubbed Felix’s

puzzled little face, explaining, “Maybe Sleeping Beauty hasn’t had enough sleep yet.”

“Oh!” Felix snapped his fingers excitedly. “I know!”

“What do you know?”

Felix’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Bradley and said slyly, “It must be because I’m not a real prince!”

Bradley rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. He was just about to comfort Felix, but the boy

grabbed his arm as if he had discovered something new and said, “I’m a little prince, so my energy isn’t

enough. Sleeping Beauty definitely needs the big prince to wake her up! Daddy, come and kiss the

sleeping beauty to wake her up!”

*Felix!” Bradley sternly and seriously stopped Felix’s whimsical thinking, his tone harsh and cold.”

No more nonsense.”

Felix burst into tears with a loud cry and sobbed. “Daddy, I’m not talking nonsense! The prince’s kiss

awakens Sleeping Beauty! If you kiss Sleeping Beauty, she’ll definitely wake up…”

Bradley remained unmoved with his cold and handsome face.

Felix cried even louder, “Ahh… If the pretty woman didn’t give me the bone marrow transplant, she

wouldn’t be sick… Woo!”

Bradley scooped Felix up and was about to carry him out of the ward without hesitation. “Felix, not

more nonsense!”

Tears glistened on Felix’s little face, and his pitiful appearance suddenly made Bradley’s heart

ache.

“Daddy, just give Sleeping Beauty a kiss!”
