A Moment in Destiny

Philip kept everything that Elijah had done in his mind. Perhaps this was the model of a good man? He thought.

After a week, Esther was slightly feeling better. The weather was gradually turning cold. Elijah hadn’t been to the company all this while. There was some urgent business on this day and Philip came. So, he took some time to go to the company.

“Do you feel better?” After a week of recuperating, Esther still looked pale.

“I’m fine, Philip. You don’t need to accompany me. You can get back to your work too!” Esther smiled warmly. She tried to keep herself happy to avoid them worrying about her. However, she still looked worried.

“It’s ok. I’m not busy.” Nothing was more important than Esther. She was the closest family member he had in this world. To him, Esther was the most important one.

She swept her eyes across Philip’s worried face, Esther felt even guilty. They kept her company in these few days. Elijah didn’t say anything, but she found out that he was looking at her every day when she woke up from his warm embrace. Philip also came to visit her every day. It seemed like they care about her.

There was no update from Hudson and Winnie. Esther called Hudson, but his phone was turned off. She had no idea about their conditions now.

“Philip, thank you for accompanying me!” Although she lost her baby, she still felt happy. Even when she dreamed at midnight and her heart hurt due to some sense of emptiness, but she still had the strength to face everything.

During this time, Ethel and Lena always called her. This made her feel blessed after the loss of her baby as there were so many people around her who cared about her.

“You are too polite to me!” He looked at her worriedly.

Esther shook her head, “This is not polite, it’s happiness!”

Philip took a paring knife and an apple from the fruit tray beside the bed. Then, he helped her to peel the apple. “People like Elijah are rare now. You should cherish him! You’ll have a baby again!”

“Yes!” Esther nodded, smiled warmly, and looked far away to the outside of the window, “In the past, I thought the person I loved was Hudson. But after going through all this, I suddenly got a little bit confused. I was only with Elijah for a few months. Why did it seem like it was better than the ten years I had been with Hudson? When I found out that Elijah had saved some money in the bank for me which is enough for me to use for several lifetimes. Thinking that he has always cared about me, I told myself I'm lucky to meet him. He told me that he will always be by my side until life ends. However, I always misunderstood him and didn’t trust him. Philip, am I very selfish?’

Philip handed her the peeled apple. “You’ve learned to think for him. How can it be selfish? You’re unselfish!”

“But I…” Esther was just about to speak, Philip already pressed on her hand, “Get well soon and both of you will be happy!”

“I know. I believe that!” Esther sighed.

She just wanted to love him well. No matter what, she would believe him.

But when saying about happiness, Philip started to worry. Josh Gunn was nowhere to be found until now, just like he was disappeared. Evan Gray also didn’t have any actions. Sometimes things looked peaceful, but there were hidden risks. He knew that Elijah was also worried when he looked at his expression.
