A Moment in Destiny

Her Friday class was in the evening. She followed Elijah to his office in the morning. And now, Elijah went down for a meeting.

"It's raining so heavily!" Esther muttered to herself.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello!" Esther answered it. "Lance, what happened?"

"What? I'll be right there. Where are you guys? Okay, I got it. I'll be right there!" Esther couldn't wait for Elijah to finish his meeting. She rushed out without taking her bag.

She took a cab to the hospital. She saw the person who was standing in the rain from afar. She didn’t know what happened. She hurriedly got off the car and rushed over. "Hudson, why are you standing in the rain? Do you want to die?"

Hudson opened his eyes blankly and looked at Esther. At this moment, his blank gaze seemed not to have pain anymore, but only deadly loneliness which was blank. It seemed like he had given up. Nothing mattered to him anymore.

"Say something, what happened?" Esther suddenly felt scared when she saw Hudson being in such a state. She wondered what had happened to him. Why his eyes were all blank without any sense of life as if a soulless person?

His stare had remained vacant. Hudson looked numbly at Esther who was gradually getting anxious. He was in silence. He was like falling into the darkness. He could no longer find any reason to live. His life was meaningless without Esther. Even his father who was the closest person to him also used and framed him. He felt life was meaningless.

“Lance, what happened?” Esther had no choice but to ask Lance. Soon, she was also getting wet in the rain.

Hudson’s face was pale. His eyes looked hollow yet numb. It seemed that it could see through the world, the only thing left was the lifeless sight. The eyes were so dark that it could devour his soul.

"Hudson?" She called him softly and her tears rolled down instantly. Esther stretched her hand and held his arm, she whispered, "Hudson, tell me what happened? Don't scare me, okay? Tell me, okay?"

He remained silent like a puppet. Hudson’s eyes looked hollow and were quietly staring far away. The eyes seemed to be able to see the end of time and understood all the misery of human beings.

"Lance, what’s wrong with Hudson?" Looking at Hudson's numb and hollow face, Esther wiped her tears and looked worriedly at Lance who was standing at the side, "What’s going on?"
