Esther hesitated for a moment, looking at the Elijah, wordless.
Elijah stood still without speaking.
The air flowed.
Esther knew that she’d better not be so nice to him if she wouldn’t be with him for a whole life. But the problem was that she and Hudson could never go back! Hudson’s family interests were much more important than her! What about Elijah?
But now, it seemed that she had to be nice to him!
She knew that she could run away, but she was distressed to hear that he was injured. Everything was in a mess!
Esther seemed to be less confident about her feelings to Hudson.
Elijah, however, was not as cold as he was before. He looked mild and his tone was soft.
She looked at him and lowered her head. “If you want my heart, you will have to take it yourself!”
He shuddered and was pleasantly surprised. “Then you can’t escape!”
…
Esther had been with Elijah in the hospital for two whole days. Their relationship was also warming up. During this period, they had a great time.
On Sunday night, Elijah insisted on leaving the hospital, because tomorrow was the day when Esther went to register at school.
“You can’t leave the hospital like this!” Esther said, shaking her head.
“Then transfer to another hospital. I’m going to stay in G City!” he said.
“Elijah, you are not a child. You should stay here for a few more days and leave the hospital after the injury is getting better!” Esther felt frustrated, looking at Elijah, who was regardless of his injury.
“But tomorrow is your first day at school?” He said. “Don’t miss it! Let’s go. It’s doesn’t matter wherever hospital I stay! ”
Esther’s heart ached, and she choked, holding his big hand, “Elijah, I can take a rain check. At least, I have to wait until you get better!”
“Esther, are you worried about me?” he looked at her and asked.
“Yes! I do!” Esther shouted in anger, “Can you be more undemanding? Why are you guys so annoying? ”
Hudson would rather kill himself in order not to sleep with Winnie, and now Elijah insisted on leaving hospital for her. Why didn’t they think about their health?
Elijah raised his eyebrow and said in a deep voice, “Did I worry you? Guys? You mean me and Hudson?”
“You can’t leave the hospital before you get better!” she said, “Otherwise, I won’t go to school! Yes! You guys, like Hudson. You guys are troublesome!”
“Esther, you don’t want me to be hospitalized in G City because Hudson is there? You’re worried that he’s sad to see you take care of me like this, aren’t you?” Elijah suddenly stood up, staring at her with a cold face. He couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t care about him a little.
Esther was shocked. She had never thought in that way. What did he mean?
It was true that she didn’t go to Hudson who was also in hospital these days. She had been with Elijah all the time. Esther was very aggrieved, and she turned away, ignoring him.
What a self-righteous man! He was being unreasonable!
Elijah took Esther’s silence as a yes, a trace of sadness flashing by his face. He managed to calm down and said, “Just go! I’m not going to leave the hospital!”
“Fine!” Esther was angrier when he mentioned it again when she decided to move on.
She grabbed her bag and left!
Elijah was dumbfounded. His outstretched hand was hanging in the air. As Esther slammed the door and left, Elijah sat on the bed and took a deep breath, depressed and annoyed!
Esther regretted it as soon as she went out. How could she have a fight with him, who was not in good health and in a bad mood. But he was too irritating!
“Miss Price!” Danny caught up.
“Leave me alone!” Esther vented her anger on Danny.
“Miss Price, the young master is afraid that you will not be able to register tomorrow, and he wants to see you every day so that he’d like to transfer to another hospital!”
“I don’t want to see him!” Esther said angrily.
“Miss Price, the young master really likes you!” Danny said again.
Esther stopped abruptly. “How do you know? You’re not him. Do you know him so well?”
“It’s obvious! You get along so well these two days. The young master laughs a lot. It shows how much he likes you!” Danny explained, “Miss Price, don’t be angry with him. He must be very sad when you leave!”
Esther said, pursing her lips, “Hum! I spare him for the sake of you!”
Esther went back to the ward.
“Danny, get out! Leave me alone,” Elijah said coldly.
Esther walked over angrily, pursing her lips. Elijah, who was originally looked down, suddenly raised his head and looked up at Esther’s aggrieved face.
Esther accused, frowning, “I didn’t think of Hudson, nor wasn’t I afraid to be seen by him. I have the courage to take the responsibility for what I do! Don’t slander me! As it says, a scholar prefers death to humiliation!”
In a daze, Elijah reached out his hand and caressed Esther’s head, feeling that he was being petty!
He didn’t expect that she would come back. For a moment, he could only stare at Esther, and her words were echoed in his mind. A moment later, he smiled and said gently, “Sorry!”
“Petty!” Esther gave a cold hum.
Not used to being treated like a child, Esther pulled down Elijah’s hand.
“You’re reluctant to leave? Then I have to transfer to another hospital!” Elijah said with a smile.
“Elijah!” Knowing that he would not agree, Esther looked at the stubborn man in front of her angrily, “Don’t you hurt? I’ll see if it still hurt!”
As she said, her small fist gently fell on his back, causing him to cry out. She said in anger, “It’s killing you!”
Elijah didn’t expect that she suddenly patted him. He suddenly stood up and rushed to hold Esther. His back was burning, and he couldn’t breathe. “Little thing, you bear to hit me! How heartless you are!”
“Let me go!”
“No!”
“Transfer the hospital? No way! Let go of me.” Esther grabbed the finger behind her and tried to break it.
“Ah…” Elijah cried out in pain. “No! I won’t let you go even if you break my fingers.”
Esther stopped.
How silly he was!
For a long time, Elijah said, “I still want to go back, even if it hurts so much…”
Esther looked at him plaintively, “Why don’t I wait to register in school until next week?”
“No!” He shook his head. “You’re not going to catch up with the courses!”
“Help me! You can help me with lessons for me She said, rolling her eyes at him, “Can’t you? I think you are excellent! ”
“Hey, I did not major in design!”
“What’s your major?”
“Enterprise management!”
“That’s fine. There are not many courses in college. I’ll just muddle along!” She said lightly, “Besides, I didn’t plan to go to college. I wanted to be a deadwood! Can’t you support me? Or are you going to give up in the middle of the way? ”
“Having a skill is better than anything!” he said.
…
“You don’t want to raise a deadwood halfway, do you?” Her big eyes narrowed, and she looked at him with threat in her eyes.
Elijah raised his head to look at her, and he was a bit surprised by her eyes. At the same time, he felt she was lovely.
If she spoke to Hudson in this way, he would really doubt how Hudson would let her go? Maybe he should go and investigate the reason behind it!
But she failed to see any expression on Elijah’s face. What did he think? Seeing that he didn’t speak, Esther pouted and said, “OK! Many people want to raise the deadwood! I don’t care if you want or not.”
Without speaking, Elijah narrowed his eyes.
“…” Esther pouted, wordless. She looked into his eyes, thinking that he should take responsibility for her.
She never thought about it before he was injured, but suddenly it occurred to her in the two days! Her heart ached for this man! Why couldn’t he take responsibility?
Although it was modern society and chastity was not that important, she was very traditional. Since he was very fond of her, he should be responsible for her!
However, he didn’t respond, which disappointed her!
Her eyes were fixed on his face, her eyes narrowed. After three minutes of silence, Esther suddenly kissed his lips directly.
Elijah was suddenly stunned. A thrill ran through his body as if he got an electric shock. He calmed himself down and reached for her shoulder and kissed her on his initiative.
There were surprises and mixed feelings in hie eyes. She must be crazy to kiss him! Didn’t she know it was dangerous? Especially for an injured man who had been in bed for two days!
Actually, she was more biting him than kissing him as if she was unwilling. Suddenly, she bit his lips and felt a bit of bloody taste.
She regained her sense and screamed, “Blood!”
“Esther.” Elijah gasped, ignoring the blood on his lips. “It’s your fault! You can’t blame me! “
