Winnie was struggling. She still felt the pains, but she couldn’t help falling in love with Hudson. She couldn’t forget him. He was the only man that she loved in her lifetime. Fortunately, Hudson finally fell in love with her. She felt satisfied.
She put her hand on her heart and felt his heartbeat. She closed her eyes and sighed, with tears of joy dropping on his chest.
He stooped to pick her up and went upstairs.
***
In the cafe outside the university.
Esther went in and saw Lena wearing a white suit and sitting by the window. Lena seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn’t notice that Esther came.
Lena’s suit was very formal but was a little old-fashioned. She was like a white-collar but looked a little weird. “Lena!
Lena came to her senses and turned around when Esther called her. When she saw Esther, she smiled. “There you are!”
“What are you thinking? Man?” Esther joked.
“What are you talking about!” Lena’s face turned red.
“Don’t hide from me. You seemed to be thinking about something about love. It’s not a big deal. What kind of man is he?” Esther asked curiously.
Lena sighed without a word.
“What’s the matter?”
“I come back home!” Lena whispered, stirring the coffee in the cup and buying a cup for Esther.
“It’s good. Do your parents forgive you? What about Oscar?”
“Oscar was picked up by my parents. He was registered in my brother’s household. He can’t always be an illegitimate child. It was not good for his health!” Lena sighed. “But I agree to listen to my parents. That is, I will have a blind date and marry a stranger.”
“Good heavens! How could that be?” Esther resisted the urge to scream.
Lena felt bitter. Perhaps this was life.
“My brother married my sister-in-law through a blind date, but they get along well. When my sister-in-law knew my situation, she agreed to let my son be registered. So, blind date is not so bad!” Lena comforted herself.
Lena no longer thirsted for love after she made mistakes many years ago. She only cared about her son. As long as her son was in good health, that would be enough.
After chatting for a long time with Lena, Esther decided to walk back home, so the driver could only follow her. But Esther met Ethel on the way home, so she got in his car.
“Why are you strolling?” Ethel asked.
“I’m worried about Lena!” Esther sighed, “Ethel, will you feel sad if you get married to a woman that you don’t love?”
Ethel was stunned and said, “If I can’t be with the woman that I love the most, it doesn’t matter who I married.”
“Well! I remember you are not this type” Esther was astonished. “When do you become so gentle and well-cultivated!”
She looked at him as if he was a monkey. He drove and smiled. “Let’s go bungee jumping?”
The last time they went bungee jumping was about four years ago.
“Alright! I have time!” Esther smiled and said, “I remember that you invited me to a fish banquet after we went bungee jumping last time! It’s my turn to treat you to dinner this time!”
“You still remember?” He was excited.
“I have good memories” She raised her eyebrows.
“Nothing!” Ethel shook his head and grinned.
“You are like an idiot!” Esther said jokingly.
Ethel didn’t mind. He just sighed. “Are you happy now?
“Why not?” She asked.
“That’s good!”
“Ethel, you are a little strange.”
“Am I?”
“Of course. Are you in love?”
Ethel was speechless.
They went to J City, unaware that something big would happen to them.
When the car drove into winding mountain road, it was stopped by several cars in front. Ethel stopped his car, and several cars came from behind and blocked their way.
What happened? Did she meet some hooligans?
Esther raised her eyebrow. Her husband was the head of a gang.
“How dare they stand in our way?” Ethel muttered in frustration and slapped the steering wheel hard.
“Ethel!” A girl suddenly got out of the car in front.
Ethel paused and cursed. “Shit!”
“Who is she?” Esther looked at the woman in front who looked pretty.
“A stupid woman that I can’t get rid of!”
“You’re lucky! She looks pretty”
“Paranoid!” Ethel whispered, “She is paranoid. Esther, stay in the car. I go to take a look!”
“Paranoid?” Esther was scared and shrank her shoulder. That woman was so terrible!
“Why did you cheat me?” Looking at Ethel who got off the car, the girl screamed with suppressed anger and hatred.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ethel was frightened and restrained his astonishment. He looked at the girl, his eyes cold and shocked, without a trace of emotion. “Eva Bates, I’ve told you that I just play with you. Why are you so serious?”
Eva did not come over, but people in the cars got off with guns. Damn it.
“Ethel, I am serious!” Eva snorted, threw a sharp gaze at Ethel, and lifted the black gun in her hand, “You don’t accept me because you like another woman? Is she the woman in the car? Let her get out. I’ll see how good she is.”
Looking at the muzzle of the guns, Ethel felt pains in his heart and subconsciously looked at Esther. Esther was calling someone nervously and seemed to ask for help.
“Don’t call!” Eva shouted, “Or I’ll shoot her!”
“Don’t…” Ethel shook his head nervously. “Eva, let’s talk. Calm down!”
“Are you worried about her?” Eva was even crazier.
Ethel walked up, not afraid of her gun. “She’s innocent. She’s someone else’s wife, not my girlfriend. I don’t want to hurt the innocent.”
“Don’t step forward! Or I’ll shoot you to death!” Eva pointed her gun at him with a mad look.
“Kill me if you want. I don’t care.” Ethel said coldly, stopped, and closed his eyes indifferently to cover the anger and worry in his eyes.
“Don’t shoot.” Esther got out of the car suddenly, “Miss, you mistake him. I’m his friend. Don’t be so excited, okay?”
“Esther, why did you get off!” Ethel opened his eyes suddenly. Esther was so bold. That woman was paranoid, but Esther came out of the car! If Esther was killed, he would be guilty for the rest of his life.
It didn’t matter if he was killed, but he could not involve Esther. Ethel was determined in an instant and looked at Eva with dark eyes.
Eva’s face turned pale when she saw Esther.
“Ethel, you are worried about this woman!” Eva said coldly and pointed the gun at Ethel’s chest. “You offend me, so you should know that I won’t let you go.”
“It has nothing to do with Esther. It’s the business between us.” Ethel put on a faint smile but his gaze was cold and sharp. Though he was extremely angry, he smiled indifferently. “I don’t allow you to hurt anyone. What do you want? I can promise you.”
Eva laughed mockingly and showed a look of extreme sadness, “Ethel, you said you would love me for the rest of your life! Why can’t I get back at you when you break your word? Since I can’t get your love, no one else can. It would be better that she died. At least, you don’t have to miss a married woman every day. She is the one that you miss, right?”
“Shut up!” Ethel snorted coldly. “You can’t trust what a man says when he lies in bed. Don’t you know that?”
Esther was stunned. What happened? Why did so many men in black point their guns at them? Ethel had so many enemies. She wouldn’t have gone out with him if she had known it.
“Ethel, I’m going to make you suffer!” Eva snorted, “I know the photo of this woman is on your mobile phone!”
“Shut up!” Ethel shouted and blushed.
Esther was at a loss for a moment and reacted. “How is that possible? You mistake him. He is my brother. Don’t be so excited!”
“Ethel loves you. I know it!” Eva was very excited, “I’ll kill her to make you suffer for the rest of your life!”
“How dare you!” Ethel’s face turned gloomy. He moved towards Esther, but Eva shoot Esther when Ethel moved. When Ethel was nearly hit, Esther pushed him away and dodged, but her shoulder was still hit.
Esther looked at the blood flowing out of her shoulder. It hurt so much. Would she die?
