My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 26

“Ms. Quill, we can understand your grief,” the organ donation staff said humbly. “But have you thought

that if Tinkerbell managed to get a match for her bone marrow, she could get the transplant and

survive? I believe that if she were still alive, she’d want to save her peers too-” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Before the employee could finish, Esther broke down in tears.

Yeah, her Tinkerbell was so kind -so kind that she thought that she was there to adopt a child and

repeatedly reminded her not to adopt a sick child like her.

Her Tinkerbell was so kind, but why were the heavens so cruel?

It was her fault. Why must she listen to the director? Why did she not tell Tinkerbell last night that she

was not there to adopt a child? She was there specifically to see her because she was her mother.

Jasper glanced at Camila, and the latter cleared her throat before speaking assertively. “Ms. Quill,

before the maternity test result is out, I’m still Tinkerbell’s guardian, and I have the right to agree to

donate her heart and cornea. I didn’t do so because I empathize with your grief as a mother.

“Tinkerbell’s your daughter. We can understand what you feel. But put yourself in another perspective.

If Tinkerbell were to find a match, but the other party wasn’t willing to donate, you’d plead with them,

right?

“You’re a mother, and the other woman’s a mother too. Your love for your daughters is the same. You

all hope for your child to live healthy and safe.”

Jasper stepped in front of Esther once more and scowled at the director and the staff, growling, ” You’re

forcing her!”

The organ donation staff replied seriously, “Mr. Searle, it’s not that we’re forcing her, but the heart won’t

be able to save anyone if we wait any longer! We… We’re doing this for a sliver of hope for the girl.”

“I… I agree.”

Esther gave in. She agreed to donate the organs because she knew how kind her Tinkerbell was. If

Tinkerbell were still alive, she would hope that her cornea and heart could save other children too.

“Thank you, Ms. Quill. I thank you on behalf of the girl as well.” The organ donation staff was delighted.

The teary-eyed Esther looked up and asked shakily, “Can I know to whom my daughter’s heart-

“I’m sorry. Organ donation remains confidential to both parties.” The staff rejected her request coldly.

Jasper added, “We just want to know who used the heart. We promise we won’t disturb their lives.”

“We have the duty to keep it confidential for the recipient.” The staff remained fair and formal.

Esther had looked up information about leukemia when she discovered that Tinkerbell had it. One of

the aspects was organ donation, so she knew that donations like the kidney or heart were kept

undisclosed.

Although she would never know whose chest Tinkerbell’s heart would beat in, she weakly urged them

to proceed with the surgery.

“Alright.”

The medical personnel took Tinkerbell’s heart and cornea away for the organ donation.

The maternity test result was yet to be produced, so Esther currently did not have the right to sign the

donation agreement. It was Camila who did it.

Camila looked at Esther, seated on the bench outside the operation ward, and asked in worry, doesn’t

look okay. Mr. Searle, you should seek a psychologist to help her.”

“She
