Chapter 239

Esther and Felix were startled by the voices outside. Finally. Finally, someone had come to rescue them!

“Mommy, is Daddy coming to save us?” Felix asked innocently.

“Yes, he is. Daddy is here,” Esther replied, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Considering the presence of Bradley’s wife and son on the yacht and the unknown situation inside, the rescue team on Bradley’s side refrained from launching a direct assault. They relied primarily on verbal communication.

“We can’t launch a direct attack?” Bradley asked the chief commander beside him.

The chief commander responded, “Mr. Warner, the criminals might become desperate and unpredictable in such situations. If we…”

Bradley remained silent, his gaze fixed on the deck. Eventually, Esther and Felix emerged onto the deck.

Anyone observant could immediately see that the two men in black were each holding a pistol aimed at the back of Esther’s and Felix’s heads.

Felix, always a brave little boy, burst into tears as soon as he saw Bradley. “Daddy-

The man with the severed hand fiercely struck Felix’s head with the gun muzzle, causing the boy to sway. “Shut up!”

The other man, aiming his gun at Esther, surveyed Bradley, the boats surrounding them closely and the helicopter hovering above. He knew that escaping at this point was utterly impossible.

“Mr. Warner, we were instructed by Shane Hoyer to kidnap your wife and son. There’s a cause for every injustice, and we were just following orders. If you want revenge, it’s not us you should go after.”

The man with the severed hand, observing the murderous expression on Bradley’s face, smirked mockingly and asked, “Who will you choose, your wife or your son?”

“What are you doing?”

“Just playing an exciting game!”

The sudden actions of the man with the severed hand sent a chill down Esther’s spine. She looked at Bradley in the distance and urged, “Bradley, what are you waiting for? Choose our son!”

Bradley gazed at Esther, then at Felix, and said indifferently, “I choose Esther!”

As soon as Bradley spoke, the man with the severed hand kicked Felix hard with his foot. Almost no one anticipated his sudden attack, and Felix was sent into the sea.

Due to Felix’s high fever, Esther, who had been closely watching him, also jumped into the sea the moment Felix fell.

Witnessing the scene from afar, Bradley leaped into the ocean as well, moving like a fish.

The two men in black on the deck put down their guns and surrendered.

“Are you crazy?”

“Wasn’t it thrilling?”

Some of the rescue personnel also jumped into the sea to save them.

Esther continued searching for Felix in the water.

However, Felix disappeared without a trace once he fell into the sea.

Bradley tightly embraced Esther and forcefully pulled her out of the water.

“You go ashore first. I’ll find Felix!”

Esther’s face turned pale and purple from the cold water. She slapped Bradley hard across his face.

“Bradley, that’s Felix! Our son!”

Esther never expected Bradley to abandon Felix! She couldn’t comprehend the psychological damage that choice would inflict on their son.

“Go up first!”
