A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 618 Clear Picture

Esther shook her head suddenly, she told herself not to think about it, just believe him, this man had no heart outside, he just celebrated a romantic birthday with you, how could he have a lover? It must be a misunderstanding!

Elijah undressed to take a shower, Esther's gaze was a little dazed, she couldn't help but stare at the shirt, but a few seconds later, she shook her head again, pretending not to care!

Hudson came back drunk again.

Winnie helped him change clothes and sat on the bed to take care of him. His forehead seemed to be a little hot, he seemed to be sick. In the past few days, his whole body had changed and he was very thin. Winnie knew that he was suffering, and indirectly knew the fact that Esther and he were not siblings. Every midnight, he woke up from the nightmare, and kept shouting the name "Esther". She felt sorry for him very much, and she felt the same sorrow as she couldn't get what she loved either.

Hudson closed his eyes, but his big hand subconsciously grasped her wrist. The strength made her struggle for a long time. Her wrist even was red, but she still did not escape from Hudson's unconscious grab. On the contrary, the more she tried to break free, the tighter he seemed to grasp her. She had no chance to leave at all.

Winnie didn't struggle anymore, and her tired face drooped in frustration. If he could hold her like this when he was awake, it would be great!

Looking at Hudson, who was unconscious, Winnie was lying on the bed and resting.

The headache was so severe that there seemed to be thousands of voices ringing in his mind. With a hangover, a chill, and mental struggle, Hudson slowly opened his eyes after having a high fever for several hours.

When he woke up, his head seemed to hurt more severely, his throat seemed to burst into flames, and he shook his heavy head. He was about to raise his hand to prop up his body but realized that something seemed to be pressed on his arm, he was wondering and looked sideways at the bedside.

The black hair on the cheeks was in a mess, and the face was extraordinarily white and soft against the black hair. Her eyes were slightly closed, the nose was very tall, and the corners of the slightly opened cherry red lips suggested how sweet she was sleeping, was she taking care of him?

After a slight astonishment, a warm feeling suddenly melted into his heart, she was his wife! Although he didn't love her, he had responsibility. Seeing Winnie's tired face lying on the bedside sleeping, Hudson felt a suppressed emotion in his heart spreading to his heart again.

The hand holding her wrist loosened, wrapping Winnie's small hand in his slightly rough palm, Hudson weakly curled up the corners of his mouth, a touch of gentleness appeared on the hard and indifferent face, he closed his eyes again, sinking into sleep.

She didn't know how long it took before she woke up from tired drowsiness. She glanced at the big hand that wrapped around her hand, quickly pulled it out, and touched Hudson's forehead. He still had a high fever, but it was much better than before...

He seemed to have to take medicine. She went to find some medicine, poured a cup of warm water, and called him when she was ready.

"Hudson, get up and take meds." Pushing his body, finally waking him from his drowsiness, Winnie immediately helped him to lean on the bed, then took the cold medicine and handed it to him in his hand, "Hudson, you still have a fever, take the medicine before going to bed again."

Hudson took the medicine.

Winnie looked at the time. It was already two o'clock at night, she slept on the bed for two hours. It seemed that she had to sleep on the sofa tonight to take care of him, so she stood up to get a quilt, just as she turned around about to walk out, her wrist was caught again, a hoarse and dry voice said, "Where are you going?"

There was no consistent indifference and alienation, but a touch of gentleness.

"I'll get a blanket!" Winnie was startled.

"Isn't here a quilt?" he said and pulled down the quilt beside him.

"I'll get another one!"

"No, go to bed!" he said.

Where?

Winnie looked at him in a bit of astonishment!

Hudson pulled the quilt down, pulled her over, and told her to get to bed. "It's already two o'clock, go to sleep!"

Winnie was overjoyed and took the cup he handed over, "You want me to sleep here?"

"Do you want to sleep in the guest room?" Hudson said suddenly, and continued in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for taking care of me!"

With a snap, Winnie was taken aback in shock, the cup in her hand fell to the ground, slammed on the floor, and broke. He said thank you!

"Why are you so careless?" He looked at her, then at the pieces of the cup.

"I'll get the broom!" She blushed awkwardly, she was so careless, she was frightened by his thanks. She walked outside, but she stepped on the broken glass on the ground.

"Ah!" She exclaimed, her feet slipped, and her slender body fell onto the big bed without a warning and lay heavily on Hudson's body.

Hudson caught Winnie in her fall, Hudson's hard face was sketched with a smile, and his low voice rang in Winnie's ear bewilderingly, "Are you all right?"

"I am okay." She got up from the bed with both hands and feet, trying to get out of bed, but she did not expect him to hug her. "Clean it up tomorrow! Go to sleep!"

"What?" Winnie was astonished, feeling his big hands clasp her waist.

"Go to sleep!" He had already covered her with the quilt.

That night, Winnie was restrained by Hudson. She was embarrassed and nervous at first, and then fell asleep.

Esther went to class and got a call from Elijah. "Babe, I need to go to America for a while!"

"Ah... how many days are you going to go?"

"I'll be back in three days!"

"Okay!" Although a little disappointed, Esther could only accept it. "Get back soon!"

Because Elijah was on a business trip, Esther was bored and continued to go to school regularly.

However, Elijah had not come back after three days as he said. Five days had passed. First, Esther had called Elijah every day, but there was no call since yesterday.

Esther didn't know what happened. She went to the company to find out that Kattie was with him. She called again but no one answered Elijah's call.

There was strong anxiety in her heart, her eyelids kept jumping. On the fifth day, Esther received a package, and found inside a USB flash drive.

Esther didn't know what it was. She inserted it into the computer, and the picture immediately became clear. Esther who was standing at the table seemed to tremble unacceptably. She looked pale and looked at the figures embracing and kissing naked together in the picture...

(Undescribable).....

She wanted to deceive herself and tell herself that it was fake!

But no! The picture was so clear!

A video like this completely disrupted Esther's mind! Her face turned pale in an instant, she felt the blood flow continuously, her hands began to tremble.

The screen of the computer slammed off and she sat on the leather chair blankly.

Suddenly she felt a chill!

A shiver emerged from the bottom of Esther's heart. What she was sure of was, the video must have been watched by Kattie.

The warm sunlight came in through the glass window, it looked warm, but Esther's heart was cold. She wanted to trust him very much, but looking at this flash drive, her heart rose with a sorrowful feeling. She didn't know how long it took before Esther sorted out her emotions and put away the USB.

When the door opened suddenly, Esther was startled, her face pale, and she put the USB flash drive quickly into her pocket, as if nothing had happened, she walked out of the study.

Sure enough, it was Elijah who came back, carrying a small suitcase in his hand.

"Are you back?" Esther said quietly, did not run over, just looked at him quietly, his face looked a little tired.

"Yeah! I'm back!" Even his voice was a little tired.

He put the suitcase on the floor, and fell onto the sofa, "Babe, pour me a glass of water, I am very thirsty!"

Esther went quietly to pour the water, brought it over, and handed it to him.

He drank it, she looked at him quietly, and suddenly asked, "Elijah, you want me to believe you, but, do you have something to tell me?"

Elijah was stunned slightly, he was staring at her, looking at her unhurriedly.

Esther also looked at him, and suddenly realized that he had been far away from her. Elijah stared at her deeply, but his eyes were evasive. "Something went wrong, so I got back two days late!" "Did you travel by yourself these few days?" She asked quietly again.

He paused. "Yeah!"

He lied!

Esther's heart suddenly throbbed, her dim eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth were coldly curled up, her eyes closed, and the smile on her face was a little dazzling. "Yeah! Go take a bath!" She said, "I'll put bath water for you!"

She turned around, her heart ached, but she also became cold in an instant, she thought he would tell her something! But he didn't intend to say anything!

After putting the bathwater in, Esther went back to the study and Elijah went to take a bath.

After coming out of the bath, Elijah came out wrapped in a bath towel and saw Esther busy, as if she was drawing a picture.

It was quiet. When he wanted to say something, she said, "Elijah, I got a lot of homework, don't bother me!"

"Oh!" He went outside to read the news.

At night, she returned to the bedroom after finishing her homework.

He followed her to the bedroom. "Babe, have you finished your homework?"

"Hmm!" She responded coldly, took out a quilt from the closet, put it on the bed, and got under the blanket by herself, "Go to sleep, I have class tomorrow!"

***

"Isn't tomorrow Friday?" He raised an eyebrow.

"There are activities in school!" she said.

He wanted to lift the quilt and sleep with her.

She immediately wrapped herself tightly, without even looking at him. "You sleep with that one!"

He raised his brows and softened them again. He moved over, even hugged the quilt, stayed for a while. He whispered, "Babe, I'm cold, let me in."

Esther couldn't help but soften her heart and loosened the blanket a little. He was about to enter, but she tightened her head again.☐☐☐☐☐☐
