A Moment in Destiny

“Hello, are you being dumb?”

“...”

“I’ve known her twelve years ago; I’ve known your mother!” Elijah said slowly.

Philip froze. “You’ve met my mother?”

“Yes!” Elijah nodded.

“You’ve known my mother and sister since that time?” Philip did not expect that it would turn out this way, “Since you’ve known babe for twelve years, do you know why she was adopted by Hudson?”

Elijah narrowed his eyes. “Babe was only five years old when your mother was sick and passed out at the doorway of the company. She was crying and begging for someone to help her mother, but no one wanted to help. Babe talked a lot. It was time for leaving work. My grandfather and I walked out of the company and saw her begging for help. I would never forget that scene on that day. I know the pain of losing a family member. My grandfather personally asked the driver to bring them back home. He even asked our family doctor to check on her. Fortunately, your mother was having a cold and low in blood sugar due to malnutrition, and that’s why she passed out.”

Philip grabbed tightly on the armrest of the chair; the green veins were showing out on his arms. “What’s next?”

“After that, your mother woke up and stayed at my house for three days. She insisted to leave and rejected my grandfather’s kindness. She mentioned that she wanted to go back to look for her husband. She was crying when she was talking. She was holding an emerald bracelet at the same time. She kept touching the bracelet while admitting that she was wrong!”

“She said she wanted to come back to look for my father?” It was out of Philip’s expectation.

“That’s all I heard because she kept touching the bracelet therefore, I paid a little more attention to that bracelet. My mother had this kind of bracelet too. She went to heaven with my father along with the bracelet during the air crash. I did miss my parents so much when I saw your mother crying on that day.”

Therefore, he was crying alone that day! Esther did see him crying when she was playing in the garden. She seemed to be excited to stay in the Perrys’ house for few days. She was very active and talkative.

When Esther saw him crying, she used her little hand to wipe his tears. He did not say a single word at that time.

When Eula got better, they planned to leave. Before they left, the little girl was reluctant to leave and ran towards him secretly. She looked at his face and said, “Elijah, you’re very handsome. I want to marry you when I grow up, can you wait for me to grow up and get married?”

Elijah was startled and looked at her in shock. He could not imagine that he would marry this little bride.

At the time, he did not promise because he treated her words like a joke.

“Elijah, call me Babe. I used to be Crystal but now you can call me Babe. Don’t ever forget about me!” That little girl tried to hook her hand as she was hinting him to bend down.
