A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 585

Though Esther was pure and simple, what Lena had said reminded Esther. Esther felt a bit worried in the morning.

After class, Esther did not have a meal but rushed to the hospital.

In the ward.

Elijah was still there.

When Esther arrived, she heard Elijah talking to Kattie in a very gentle voice, "Kattie, you can stand up. Don't worry. I believe you!"

Elijah was talking, but Kattie didn't reply.

Esther didn't knock on the door until it became silent inside.

"Come in!" Hearing a low male voice, Esther took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Only Elijah and Kattie were in the ward. The oxygen pipe had been removed. Kattie was quietly lying on the bed. She was a beautiful woman. Even though she had been lying on the bed for so many days. Her big eyes were still beautiful and she was wearing a quiet smile.

It could be seen that Kattie was a graceful woman!

"Esther?" Elijah looked at the clock. "Class is over?"

"Yes!" Esther went to the hospital bed, bowed to Kattie, and apologized sincerely, "Miss Cole, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I make you lie in bed for so long! You must get well. Otherwise, I would be guilty of the rest of my life!"

"Never mind! Kattie can't talk yet. She needs time to recover. She won't blame you!" Elijah didn't expect that Esther would bow to Kattie and gave a sincere apology when she came in. Elijah felt both pleased and worried.

Esther looked at Kattie, who was rolling her big eyes. She looked at Esther and then at Elijah.

"She is Esther, my wife. I got married to her! Kattie, my wife hit you. She has been guilty these days!" Elijah explained.

Kattie's eyes darkened, but she turned her gaze to Esther and smiled.

"She doesn't blame you!" Elijah said, "I have told you that Kattie is the kindest person!"

Hearing that, Kattie chuckled. A hint of joy flashed between her eyebrows. Her face was unspeakably delicate and beautiful.

"Miss Cole, I'm sorry!" Esther apologized again. Thinking that what Lena said was not true, she was pleased immediately.

Elijah's phone rang and he went to the corridor to pick it up.

Esther sat in Elijah's position. Kattie fixed her gaze on Esther's face and then turned her gaze. It was hard to tell what she was thinking about.

The nurse came in. Esther turned to ask the nurse about Kattie's condition and treatment.

The nurse asked if Kattie's family members could go to the office to get a form, so Esther got up and went out. Elijah was talking to the doctor on the staircase. Only when Esther got close could she hear their dialogue.

"When can she speak?"

"She's recovering well now. It's a miracle that she knows you!" When Dr. Wilson saw Esther, he greeted her.

"She will get better after being taken good care of!" Dr. Wilson said.

"I'll come here to take care of her after class and help her recover quickly!" Esther said.

Dr. Wilson left.

Elijah seemed to be very worried, so Esther suddenly turned around and hooked around his neck, "Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be better!"

Elijah was stunned for a moment, put his arms around Esther, and said, "Sure, she will get better!"

Esther pursed her lips and said, "I'll take the form. The nurse asked Miss Cole's family members to take the form. By the way, does she have family members? Why don't they come to see her? Why does no one make trouble for me?"

He took her hand and whispered, "She's an orphan! She has saved me, and I am her only family. You'll be her family!"

"Well!" Esther was stunned and nodded. "I will. She's so pitiful!"

Elijah thought Esther was also pitiful.

So, he took a look at Esther with pity.

Esther got the form, and Elijah signed his name.

Then they went back to the ward. When she saw Elijah, Kattie burst into laughter.

There was gentleness on her face. Esther was stunned and found that Kattie paid all attention to Elijah. Esther's face turned pale.

Looking at the woman on the bed, whose face was delicate, gentle, and pale, Esther suddenly felt very guilty. Kattie was hurt the most.

She thought Lena was right! Kattie liked Elijah!

Esther found that Kattie fixed her gaze on Elijah and never turned her gaze away.

They stayed there until three o'clock in the afternoon. Esther hadn't had lunch, feeling a bit dizzy. She found herself like a pig since she always wanted to have food and felt hungry!

Esther was listening to the conversation between them quietly. She had never been so silent before.

As long as Elijah spoke, Kattie would smile.

Esther thought that she was not needed, and Elijah did not have to go to work, so she stood up. "I'll have a meal and come back later!"

"You haven't had a meal?" Elijah was a little surprised.

"I'm just a bit hungry!" Esther smiled and said to Kattie, "Miss Cole, you don't mind me going to have a meal?"

Kattie blinked and smiled softly.

Esther left.

There were mixed feelings in Elijah's eyes. Esther had not eaten lunch until three o'clock in the afternoon. He was too careless to notice that she was hungry.

Esther just went to a canteen. It was closed. So, she bought a piece of bread in the supermarket and sat on a chair to have it.

The bread was a bit dry. It was hard for her to swallow, and she choked.

Suddenly, a shadow was cast on her. Elijah sighed. "Why didn't you tell me you haven't had lunch?"

"I've had lunch! I'm just hungry and having afternoon tea!" Esther smiled brightly and passed the bread over. "Do you want to eat it?"

Elijah threw a complicated gaze at her. He felt distressed when seeing her bright smile. He stretched out his hand to stroke her head, took the bread, and threw it into the dustbin.

"Why do you waste food?" Esther groaned. "I haven't finished yet!"

"I'll take you to have a meal!" He said in a deep voice, reaching out to take her little hand. "Let's go."

"No need." Esther shook her head.

"Honey, are you blaming me for neglecting you?" He stopped and looked at her with dark eyes.

Esther was stunned and attracted by his dark eyes. She was fascinated by him. "Do you think so much? You don't have to."

He held her little hand tightly with deep feelings and said, "Honey, let's go home! The nurse can take care of Kattie. We'll come to see her tomorrow!"

"Go home?" Her mind was in turmoil. "But I said I would go back!"

"Let's go home!" He said in a soft but firm voice. "I hope you will always live a happy and simple life. You don't have to worry about Kattie or starve yourself for her. The nurse can take good care of her. What you need to do is to take good care of yourself!"

Hearing that, Esther felt very moved, shook her head, and looked up at him, "Okay! I'll take good care of myself. I’m good at it. Don't worry!"

But she didn't tell him that she was hungry. Elijah held her hand tightly when Esther saw his handsome and resolute side face. His hand was very large and he was holding her small hand with a diamond ring on her finger.

He forbade her to take it off, so she didn't, thinking that it was not a big deal!

Elijah took her to have a meal, and then took her to the mall.

"You want to go to the mall?" Esther was shocked. "Bosses don't like to go to the mall, do they?"

"I need to buy something important!" He needed to prevent her from being pregnant. She was young, so she did not understand, but he was different.

Esther was pulled by him and stood before a shelf, "Honey, what do you like?"

"What?" Esther was puzzled and looked at the colorful boxes that Elijah pointed to. When she saw them clearly, she said timidly, "What? You…"

"I don't want you to take pills. They are not good for your health. I can only make a compromise!" He put on a mischievous and evil smile. They felt relieved because Kattie had woken up.

Esther pretended not to understand. "Who are you? I don't know you!"

She felt sweet and moved by his considerations.

Elijah was selecting condoms carefully. She was confused. "Just take two boxes. Why are you selecting them?"

"They have the size!" He said seriously, and chose the largest size, and took five boxes of each kind of condoms.

"Why do you buy so many?" Esther exclaimed, and blushed. "Elijah, you buy them yourself. I go first!"

She didn't want to be with him and felt timid since Elijah bought all condoms of large size on the shelf. He did have a strong sexual desire.

He was manly!

Elijah glanced at Esther and didn't mind that Esther kept away from him. He walked towards the checkout table like a proud rooster.

Esther pushed a shopping cart, and put some sanitary cotton in it. Since her period was coming, he needed to prepare everything now!

Esther bought what she needed and paid for it. She walked out with the bag in hand. Elijah carried a large bag. Esther had seen the cashier's stunned expression when Elijah paid for the condoms. Perhaps the cashier had never seen a man who bought so many condoms! He was too strong!

Esther walked past and didn't chat him up.

Elijah suddenly pulled her small hand.

"Let go!" Esther shouted hurriedly.

"What're you doing?" He frowned and felt dissatisfied that she pretended not to know him.

"I don't know you. Elijah, you are too shameless. You even bought so many condoms!" Esther tried to get rid of him as if he was a scorpion.
