“Little girl, are you so angry to come here to see me?” Ethel knew she was angry.
“Ethel? Are you back?” Esther was startled and she did not expect to meet Ethel, who was still radiant. “You must have lots of fun in Japan?
“How do you know?” Ethel asked. “It seems that I succeed in attracting your attention when I’m not here! Is your hand well?”
Ethel’s eyes fell on her hand.
Esther replied with a smile, “Well, thank you for concern! I’m all right.”
“Are you going to see Hudson?” Ethel didn’t know about Elijah’s hospitalization.” Little girl, don’t you still have feelings for him?”
Esther suddenly stopped, looked back at Ethel, who was curious. She suddenly squinted and looked at him with a smile and then slowly said, “Ethel, you are really gossipy. Is it interesting for men to gossip? I think you have feminine characteristics. Why don’t you become a pimp to meet the needs of old women? Or have sex with those men who have a special need. I wonder if it will drive away your curiosity!”
Ethel was shocked and furious. He glared at Esther, who looked extremely innocent, and roared, “You’re doomed!”
“Ethel, now is a society ruled by law. A life for a life!” Esther burst out laughing and ran quickly. In the sun, her figure drifted by, attracting passers-by’s eyes.
“As long as the law doesn’t care, I’ll kill you!” Ethel strode to catch up with her. He was really furious. How could this little girl make fun of him!
“Don’t be angry. If you don’t like men, you can be with women! There are many women waiting for you to spoil them. Aren’t you a scoundrel? Don’t miss any chances!” Esther giggled, stopped and looked at Ethel with a purple face. She couldn’t stop herself from laughing.
No matter how angry he was, seeing her happy face, Ethel shook his head helplessly and sighed, “Esther, do you know?”
“Well?” She stopped laughing and frowned, waiting for his words.
“Sometimes, I really envy you for being so happy. You’re similar to my mother. I’ll take you to see my mother when I’m available.”
He was a little curious about the girl who could be so happy after suffering so much. Just like his mother, as Christ’s lover, she had no complaints, but enjoyed the happiness and peace as his mistress. She did not fight for anything.
“But I don’t want a nephew like you at all!” Esther said with a smile.
“Girl, you are taking advantage of me!” Ethel was very angry.
“You said I’m like your mother, so I’ll be your aunt at least!” Esther laughed and joked. Suddenly she was envious. “Ethel, I’ll see your mother another day, and she’s my old sister!”
“You’re done!” Ethel couldn’t control his anger no matter how good-tempered he was. “I’m mad!”
“Never mind!” Esther smiled and waved her hand.
She envied people whose parents were alive!
Hudson had no mother!
It seemed that Elijah has no parents! But Elijah had a grandfather and a sister!
But she had no families!
All of a sudden, her eyes dimmed. “Your mother is great!”
“What?” Ethel looked at Esther in puzzlement. Why would she say that?
“Your mother can stand being lonely!”
Ethel looked at Esther’s ruddy face in amazement, knowing her meaning. He pressed the elevator button, and they went upstairs.
“You are great, too!” He said, “I really don’t understand why Hudson wants to marry Winnie! You’re great? Hudson, who’s gloomy, should be with a partner like you, not someone like Winnie!”
Esther’s smile faded and she said lightly, “Because poor Hudson was kidnapped by the Ball family’s wealth and interests. It seems that being too rich is not perfect, which could make it easy to be swayed by consideration of gain and loss! You shall be thankful because you don’t have to choose your partner because of family interests, and you can choose the one you love! This is why you are happier than Hudson! ”
Ethel was stunned looked at her with sharp eyes. There were so many stories in the girls’ eyes, and he suddenly felt that she was powerful in her heart.
Ethel said slowly, “Buddha said, there are eight hardships in life: being born, being old, disease, death, love, parting, long-term resentment, which are something one has to face.”
“Do you want to be a monk?” Esther joked, but she knew he was trying to help her move on!
“Sometimes!” he said with a serious expression on his face.
“Good! Forget about women first! When you’re not interested in women, then go to shave, and Buddha will accept you! But now Buddha will never accept you! ”
“Why?”
“Smell yourself!” Esther said seriously.
“What?” Ethel actually pulled his clothes, smelled it, and said in surprise: “I took a bath, it’s very fragrant! No sweat taste.”
When the elevator just stopped, Esther ran out, turned around and told him with a giggle, “Because you are too feminine!”
“Little girl, you’re doomed!” Ethel roared.
Esther went straight to the ward with a giggle. “It’s true.”
The clear and crisp laughter like copper bell rang in the corridor, making Elijah and Hudson stunned.
When they walked out of the ward at the same time, they saw Esther running fast from the other end of the corridor, followed by Ethel who was chasing after her regardless of his image.
“Stop, little girl, don’t let me catch up with you! I’ll kill you,” Ethel yelled.
“Ethel, please pay attention to your image!” Esther ran at a high speed. Seeing two handsome men standing at the door of the two wards, she was stunned with a smile. She ignored Elijah and said to Hudson, “Hudson, are you feeling any better?”
“Much better!” Hudson’s nostalgic eyes were full of forbearance and restraint. His father was right. Since he loved her and they couldn’t be together, he hoped she would be happy!
Elijah didn’t get angry. Instead, he looked at Ethel behind Esther with sharp eyes.
“Well? Elijah, why are you in hospital?” Ethel was stunned for a while and looked at Hudson. “It can’t be true. Did you fight with Hudson? And you guys are both injured?”
Elijah and Hudson rolled their eyes at him at the same time.
“Boring!” Elijah went into his ward after saying that.
Esther, however, was still very angry. Without following Elijah, she stood at the door.
“My goodness! Who should I see first? I was going to see Hudson!” Ethel stood blankly at the door. “Well, I’ll see Hudson first before Elijah! First come, first served.”
Winnie heard the sound and walked out of the ward. “Ethel, here you are! Esther!”
“Hi, Winnie!” Esther said hello politely.
Hudson turned and went into the ward without looking at Winnie. He suddenly felt sad and was unable to smile as the thought that he couldn’t be with Esther. Looking at Hudson’s lonely figure, Esther was distressed.
Winnie followed behind Hudson.
Looking at such a situation, Ethel whispered to Esther thoughtfully, “So you just can’t force it!”
“Maybe he will have feelings for Winnie after they stay together for a long time!” Esther said thoughtfully, “They can hold on for some time. People’s feelings change! It’s hard to say such a thing!”
“But does Hudson take Winnie as his wife?” Ethel smiled, “Isn’t love a lifetime thing?”
“Who knows!” Esther said, shaking her head,” See your elder brother. I’ll go in and see Elijah. We’ll go separate way! ”
“Eh?” Ethel was stunned, “Don’t you come to see Hudson?”
With a bang, the door suddenly closed.
Ethel thoughtfully looked at the door of Elijah’s ward, slightly frowning. It turned out that just now, she meant something.
…
Ethel entered Hudson’s ward.
After Esther closed the door, the smile on her face faded and was replaced by anger.
Elijah stood by the window, looking at her with a frown.
Esther stared at him, wordless. How could Elijah go back to his words? He promised her in the morning, and she hated men who went back to their words!
Elijah’s eyes widened and they seemed to be able to swallow all the power.
“What are you staring at? What are you angry about? Listen, I’m angry.” Esther walked and snapped, “You never mean what you say!”
“What’s the matter with you and him?” he asked in a cold voice.
“Who?” Esther was stunned. She didn’t know who he meant.
“Ethel!” Elijah’s voice was as cold as ever.
Esther was startled, blinking her big eyes, “What? What’s the matter with him?”
Without speaking, Elijah looked down at her innocent face and suddenly felt how ridiculous her sullen anger was. She had no idea why he was angry!
“Don’t smile at others in this way, especially a man!” he said in a deep voice, turning to face her sideways.
Esther was stunned and went straight him. They looked at each other. He didn’t speak.
Something hit Esther suddenly. “Elijah, you’re not jealous, are you?”
“Esther, if you dare to laugh, try it!” Elijah said, glaring at her.
