A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 632 What Are You Hiding from Me

"What's the matter?" Looking at Elijah coming from a distance, with a smell of tobacco on his body, Esther frowned in confusion. His face was too gloomy, and even his brows wrinkled, as if a layer of pity

enveloped his eyes.

"It's okay, you should go to rest first, don't watch TV for too long," Elijah said.

When they were eating the next day, Elijah was a little absentminded. Esther suddenly held down his hand. Only then did she notice how gloomy and tired his face was at this moment, he looked much older, and his eyebrows were deeply condensed.

Slowly shifting his gaze to Esther's face full of concern, Elijah smiled heavily, raised his hand to hold her hand, his tired eyes full of love and helplessness.

"What's the matter?" His hands were as warm as ever, but seeing his expression at the moment, Esther couldn't help feeling worried, something must have happened to make his face look so bad.

"It's okay. As Winnie left, I suddenly miss her." Looking at Esther and meeting her worried eyes, Elijah seemed to be burned by fire, a little flustered, he was always calm, but he didn't know how to get through these three days, this was just day one, but he felt as if it was a year.

At the hospital three days later.

Esther followed Elijah for a checkup in doubt, they changed to another hospital. Same as last time, the doctor called Elijah alone again. Esther didn't know what was wrong!

This time, Elijah walked out calmly again!

"Why do we check so frequently? It's not good for the baby!" Esther said as he went to hold Elijah's hand, and found that his hand was cold, and the palm of his hand was sweaty. "Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Elijah gave her a hurried look and immediately shifted his gaze, as if he didn't dare to look at her, something was glittering in his eyes, which made Esther very uneasy.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the corridor, they saw Philip coming from outside with a gloomy expression. When the three met, the gloom on his face was immediately gone, "I called Elijah, and he said you are here. Let's eat together for lunch!"

"Philip, I have a baby!" Esther told Philip happily.

"Uh!" Philip was looking at Elijah. He was a little worried, but he instantly covered it, filling his handsome face with surprise, and said loudly, "Good! I am going to be an uncle, right? I am very happy! Let's go to eat!"

At the restaurant.

After ordering the food, Elijah went out to make a call, Philip said to add some food, and then went out.

Esther was eating alone.

Outside.

"What the hell is going on?" Philip knew that the situation was not good when he saw Elijah.

"The doctor suggested an abortion because the child had no fetal buds and heartbeat!" Elijah closed his eyes in pain, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his body was cold.

Philip was also taken aback. "Why is this?"

Esther didn't see them come back, opened the door and looked out carefully, and found that the two of them were talking at the end of the corridor.

She saw Elijah's figure seemed particularly stiff, and both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

What happened? Seeing them discussing something with their backs to her, it seemed that they had deliberately kept her from knowing. On Esther's wrinkled face flashed an injured expression. She wanted to say something, but her open mouth closed silently. Maybe they were talking about Josh Gunn!

Since they didn't want to let her know, she wouldn't be troublesome.

But just when she was about to walk in, she turned around uneasy.

She saw Elijah slamming a fist against the wall of the corridor and was shocked.

Looking at Elijah with his back straight, he seemed to be venting some emotions. At this time, she wanted to tell him that no matter what happened, she would always be by his side and face it with him, but... Esther intuitively felt something was wrong, and it seemed to have something to do with herself. She saw Philip reach out a hand to pat on Elijah's shoulder. After Esther paused, she finally chose to return to the room.

Everything seemed to have never happened, and they didn't see her coming out, and after she went in, she lost her appetite. What happened to Elijah? Why was Philip feeling so heavy? Why did she do two ultrasounds in a row within three days? Did it have something to do with her baby?

She knew him, if it was something he was willing to tell her, he would not be so troubled. She suddenly felt so panicked, thinking of his tired look. For the past three days, he had always seen her wanting to say something then laughing hard. She was muttering and panicking in her heart!

"Let's go in! Esther will be suspicious after such a long time!" Philip said solemnly, with the same tangled heavy expression on his face.

Elijah turned around slowly, his cool face was in pain at the moment, the pain surged to his heart, but when he couldn't vent it, he slammed his fist on the wall, he was bleeding on the back of his hand, no matter how much that hurt, it didn't hurt as much as his heart.

Why? Slowly closing his eyes, suppressing the unbearable pain in his black eyes, Elijah raised his head silently, Esther was so kind, why would God treat them so cruelly? why did fate give him and Esther such a fatal hit?

Abortion! This word was like a piercing sharp dagger stabbing into Elijah's chest. The pain was unspeakable, and he couldn't even tell her, he dares not tell her, she was still immersed in the joy of her pregnancy, how could he tell her that she had to get rid of the baby?

"If she has to get rid of it, it should be earlier rather than later. The side effects of the drug abortion are less, and it is better than the operation!" Philip was also very sad. This was his first nephew, before he could share their joy, he received such news. He couldn't bear it for now, but he understood Elijah's feelings better at the moment.

"Don't tell her yet!" Elijah's voice was a little hoarse. He hadn't slept well in the past three days. He was exhausted, and his eyes were sunken. His figure that was always arrogant had lost weight in just a few days. Tiredness and shadows shrouded on him, Elijah looked particularly gloomy, the comfort and ease of being with Esther before had long disappeared without a trace. "Let's go in!"

After quickly sorting out his emotions, Elijah recovered his calm, and the two walked into the room.

As soon as they entered through the door, they saw Esther fiddled with the dishes slightly, her small face was also tangled, she wrinkled her nose when she watched them come in. "Why did you guys take so long? I'm already full!"

"Eat more!" Philip said with a smile, the same smile but a little stiff.

"Be good, eat more!" Elijah sat down and helped her with chopsticks.

Esther's gaze fell on the back of his hand, seeing some bloodstains on it, she felt a pain in her heart, she frowned in worry, but didn't ask anything, just took out a bandaid that she carried with her from her bag, and then she silently pulled his hand and put them on one by one.

Elijah watched her cautious movement. She didn't ask or was surprised, but her eyes were full of worry. Elijah felt a pain in his heart and immediately explained, "I accidentally hurt it!"

"Okay!" Esther nodded, her nose sour, thinking that he must have encountered something difficult that he was unable to speak to her. He carried it by himself, so he must be afraid that she would be worried! She believed him, no matter what happened, she believed that he would handle it well, she was just worried about him, very worried.

Philip sighed secretly, and said, "The food here is good, eat more, Elijah, you should also eat more!"

Nodding, Elijah was afraid that Esther would be worried. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. Although he didn't have much appetite, he still ate. He didn't want Esther to worry about him. Late night, Esther was lying in bed early, but she was not sleepy. She just let herself close her eyes; her mind was very clear. She knew there must be something, otherwise, Elijah and Philip would not keep looking at each other, as if they had a lot of things to say. Before leaving, Philip hugged her and told her that she must be strong!

The bedroom was very quiet, Elijah also lay down on the bed, reaching out and hugging her tightly in his arms.

The black eyes with the pain were like burning ashes, infinite pain and contradictions fell in his eyes, he could only hug her like this, give himself strength, and also support her.

He buried his head in her neck, Esther did not move, but gradually held her breath, she silently clenched her hands.

She heard Elijah's sigh.

This night, she knew that Elijah had not slept.

The next day, she told him, "Hubby, you can't stay with me every day. We haven't found Josh Gunn yet, right?"

"It's okay, I can deal with the company's affairs with a few phone calls!" He said in a deep voice.

"Don't stay with me today, I want Philip to accompany me! I can ask him about the bracelet too!" Esther made an excuse.

He was stunned for a while and nodded. "Okay! I will ask him to pick you up!"

When Philip picked Esther to leave, she saw clouds in the sky, as if it was going to rain. This late autumn was a bit cold, and she still felt very cold, and she wrapped the coat around her body.

***

Philip hugged her worriedly, but when she left with Philip, Esther came to Philip's house and said nothing, she was just looking at him and seeing Philip's guilty conscience.

Finally, Esther asked, "Philip, don't you tell me what happened?"

Philip was startled and immediately covered it with a smile. "Babe, what do you mean? Are you thinking too much? Women's imaginations are so rich!"

Esther came to the French windows and looked at the hazy sky with a mist in her eyes. "You all are keeping something from me, right?"

"It's nothing!" Philip looked away, couldn't bear to see her sad. "If there is nothing, what is there to tell?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
