A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 566

Hudson just looked at Elijah and then he frowned. “What are you doing?”

Elijah took out a card and put it on the table by the side of the bed, “Your card, Esther asked me to return it to you!”

Hudson closed and opened his eyes with a bitter smile. His voice was so low and slow with complex emotions in his tone, “Take good care of her. I will kill you if you make her feel wronged a bit!”

Elijah raised his eyebrows slightly. “You have decided to let go of her?”

Hudson roared. “You promise me first!”

“Why should I promise you?” Elijah snorted coldly, “Especially after you hurt my sister?”

Hudson was startled. He took a glance at Winnie and Winnie shook her head immediately. “No, Elijah, Hudson didn't do anything wrong to me!”

Her tone was so petty and low which made Elijah felt a little distressed. “No one can simply hurt you!”

“What do you mean?” Hudson was stunned. “You mean, you stay together with Esther was to revenge against me?”

Elijah sneered and ignored Hudson. “Winnie, let’s go home!”

“Reuben, you go first!” Winnie didn't want to leave.

Elijah didn't force her. He turned and leave.

“Elijah Perry!” Hudson yelled anxiously, “Tell me clearly, what is your purpose?”

Elijah ignored him and strode to leave.

***********

The autumn sun was so warm. However, Esther’s heart was getting a little cold. She was standing quietly on the tree-lined road outside the hospital. She seemed to be relieved after stating it clear to Hudson.

After a long sigh, there was always melancholy that cannot be dissipated. That day was Friday, and she was going to D University the next Monday. Where should she go now?

Carrying her backpack, she swayed forward.

“Ah—” There was a sudden scream.

Elijah who walked behind her was getting anxious instantly. He ran to catch up hurriedly. Then, he saw Esther patting her head suddenly, “I'm such a stupid jerk, I forgot it!”

She forgot to take the contraceptive pill!

“Ahhh—” She shook her head frantically and she felt like crying. There was a hospital supermarket when she came over just now, so she was going to buy a bottle of mineral water and take the contraceptives with it! She turned around and rushed forward quickly. However, she didn't expect to plunge into the arms.

The familiar smell of tobacco came over.

Elijah just felt a sway in front of his eyes, but he didn't expect that the little girl would turn her head in such a sudden and hurry. It was too late to think about it and he hugged her in his arms instinctively.

“Ah –” Esther looked up. “Ah, it hurts!”

She banged Elijah’s chin, “Elijah, it hurts, I am so painful!”

Elijah was stunned at that moment, not knowing whether it was because of her words or she blurted out his name. He was staring at Esther who didn't look up but called his name accurately.

She knew it was him?

Esther was also frozen. The familiar smell just made her blurt out his name inexplicably. When she looked up, she was sure that it was him. She thought she called the wrong one!

But her gaze was in a daze when looking at him. That was the first time she saw him having such an unconcealed gaze, it was like a deep-water whirlpool and she was sucked in and could not move her eyesight away from him.

“You, is it really you?” She was a little embarrassed.

Elijah’s lips curled and he lifted his eyes. “What are you going to do in such a hurry?”

She was stunned for a moment, thinking of buying mineral water and taking contraceptives, she shook her head of a sudden. “No, it's okay, I'm okay!”

He didn't ask carefully. He just let go of her and walked away.

“You, where are you going?” She asked.

Elijah paused and took a deep look at her. “Is there any matter?!”

Esther was shocked. ‘Why did his attitude change of a sudden?’ She muttered in her heart. She was a little uncomfortable as Elijah just changed his attitude and became indifferent suddenly.

Her eyebrows frowned slightly and then she laughed suddenly, “Hey, nothing. I just asked casually. I'm leaving now!”

After finishing her words, she took a step forward and left him one step ahead.

Elijah’s deep gaze locked at the figure who was escaping at the front. There was a slight flash of light in his eyes. He did not run to catch up. His thin lips hooked slightly, revealing an indescribable shrewdness.

Esther was wandering on the street alone. She was bored. By then, she received a call from Ethel, “Little girl, where are you?”

“Why?” Esther asked in an unpleasant mood.

“So angry? Are we friends anyway?”

“Are we?” Esther asked back. “Come on, what's the matter?”

“Go out to play, I'm in a bad mood today. How about we hang out and play together?” Ethel tempted, “I have a fun place, take you there!”

“Okay, just go!” Esther agreed to his suggestion. “Come and pick me up, I'm in L Street!”

“Wait for a moment, I will be there in ten minutes!” Ethel hung up the phone.
