A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 649 Lost Her

However, when he really lost her, her image became clear in his mind, he was even a little nostalgic for her quiet expression, always forbearing, with sadness and loneliness in her eyes. Although they were married, they were like two irrelevant strangers, but just this kind of plain life was still deeply engraved in his life.

When she laughed, her eyes were half squinted, her head was tilted to one side. She looked childish and cute. When she was wronged, she squinted the corners of her mouth, there seemed to be a kind of invisible mourning.

When he kissed her, her white face flushed, her blurred eyes were confused, but after a moment, she was so happy, she firmly embraced his neck and smiled brightly.

She said that she loved him, but he never heard it in his absent mind.

He went to the airport but did not find her!

He stayed at the airport for several hours, inquiring about her name, but she was not there.

He didn't know that Winnie did not leave New York, or at least that she did not leave New York that day, she just found a hotel to stay in, and then began to plan her future.

She couldn't go back home. She was afraid that her grandfather and brother would be worried, so she didn't call either.

Hudson searched for several days but didn't find her. He finally decided to return to his country, because his father's matter had not been resolved, but he did not expect to encounter Elijah's car explosion right after returning.

Esther's dazed expression at the moment made him very distressed, but at the same time, it felt like time had passed.

"Babe, are you really okay?" Philip finally broke the silence.

Esther suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears fell. "Do you want to see me cry, or do you want to see me laugh? He must want me to be happy?!"

When she said that, both Philip and Hudson felt sour.

Hudson glanced at Esther with a complicated expression, reached out his hand, and took her little hand. "Esther, be strong, this is no big deal!"

"Yes! It's no big deal!" Esther shook her head, shaking away the tears.

At the Perry family.

"What are you talking about?" Tim rushed over from the sofa and grabbed Esther's hand. His complexion was dark and his eyes were cold. The veins on the hand holding Esther were covered with age spots, he was suppressing his anger when he repeated word by word in a ruthless tone, "Repeat what you just said again."

"Elijah's car exploded, but I firmly believe that he is not dead, I don't know if you believe me!" she winced, and looked at a furious Tim calmly, then said with a trembling voice, "That's why I didn't stay there to deal with it. Although I don't know why he did this, I believe he is not dead. Please believe me!"

"The car exploded?" For an instant, it was like being in ice and snow, all thoughts were frozen, the car exploded?

Tim laughed loudly, his horrifying gaze shot into an imposing aura, "Do you think I would believe it if the car exploded and he was not dead? What are you doing? Do you want to inherit the Perry family? Are you here to inherit the property of the Perry family? Your wishful thinking is wrong. The legal representative of the Perry family is still me. The property is mine. You can't inherit a single cent!"

A wild smile stiffened on his face, his complexion tight and bloodthirsty, his horrified eyes were bloodthirsty and cold. Tim retracted his hand in resentment, clenched his fist tightly, and shouted outside, "Someone, get this woman out, the Perry family doesn't have such a daughter-in-law."

Esther stared at Tim in a daze. This was not the amiable or even the old man. He became very strange at the moment, and his words pierced her heart like a knife. "Tim, he's not dead!"

"Out!"

"Tim, take care!" Esther didn't say anything else!

"Sir, how can you talk to her like that?" Philip was a little angry.

"You get out too! And you, Hudson, you all get out!"

The three of them looked at each other and didn't speak anymore.

"Grandpa, take care!" Esther just felt very tired, she didn't care about what Tim said, she didn't want to care about it, she didn't have the energy to care about it.

He was just an old man. Elijah dared to allow his grandfather to suffer such a blow. She really didn't understand, what was he planning to do?

Only when the three of them walked out, Tim returned to the study. The anger suddenly disappeared without a trace. He stared at the photos that were close at hand with cold eyes, and his hand stroked his grandson's face and couldn't help but mutter, "If you were not so rebellious at the beginning, why bother to endure the separation like this, Elijah, will I still have the time to see you again?"

Talking to her like that, Esther must hate him to the bones, right?

When he saw Christ again, it was in a villa.

Philip locked him in the basement of a villa.

"His wounds have been treated by a doctor, and he is recovering very well!" Philip said, according to what he wanted, he was going to kill him to relieve his hatred, but Esther pleaded, how could he let Hudson's biological father die in his own hands? So he had to lock him there.

Hudson didn't enter the room. He stood in the yard, silent for a long time.

"I'll go in!" Esther was calm.

From the airport to the Perry family and then to this villa, there was no smile on her face, only calmness.

Hudson didn't go in, Philip opened the door and walked in with Esther.

When the door made a sound, Christ turned his head around, "Hahaha... what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me?"

Christ smiled like a crazy person, looking at Philip's somewhat angry face, he laughed again.

Esther waited quietly for him to finish laughing, then said, "Mr. Ball, do you love my mother very much?"

"What do you want to say?" Christ widened his eyes, slowly looking at Esther whose face was calm, a cold expression flashed across her eyes quickly.

"Do you have to have someone when loving her? Do you have to persecute her happiness by all means?" Esther continued to ask.

"Eula was mine. We really love each other. It was Filip who intervened, and he persecuted our love!" Christ was unwilling and spoke in a cold voice. If there were no Filip, he and Eula had been happily together a long time ago.

"What did you say?" Philip frowned.

"We were originally a couple with me, it was your father's involvement that made us break up, huh! All I did was to get back everything I deserved!" Christ looked violent. Thirty years ago, he and Eula were classmates and lovers, but because of Filip who suddenly appeared from nowhere and showed his romantic love to Eula, so Eula and Filip then came together.

"So Mr. Ball, you deliberately separated me and Hudson?" Esther said quietly, "It's just because you wanted to revenge my dad's intervention. Am I right?" With a cold snort, Christ looked at Esther indifferently with a wide and cold gaze, but there was shock and surprise in his eyes. "Yes, you guessed it! That's right!"

"But Mr. Ball, even if I'm Filip's daughter, I am wrong, but what's wrong with Hudson? How can you bear to hurt him?" Esther still said calmly. "How innocent is he? Even if I am Filip and Eula's daughter, I deserve to die, but Hudson doesn't, how can you hurt your own son? Don't you know that Hudson has nothing? How can you have the heart to hurt a person who has nothing? Do you want him to taste the same pain as when you lost my mother?"

"I did it for his own good!" Christ sneered, "He betrayed me, he ruined my efforts, he insisted on staying with you! He still has Winnie!"

"Mr. Ball, Hudson did not betray you. He is just like you and loyal to his love, but he is more merciful than you. He has more humanity than you. What is the hard work without family? Do you think it is worth it for a glitzy and vanity life, things that won't stay with you? Is it worth living in unhappiness as you do? He has Winnie, and you have Ethel's mother!"

Christ was startled slightly, his expression unchanged, his strength and arrogance still remained. "It's worth it, so I feel happy!"

"Philip, let him go!" Esther said suddenly.

"Why?" Philip was astonished. "Babe, have you forgotten that he threatened Hudson with a bomb tied to you?"

"Philip, I believe there won't be another time!" Esther said confidently, "Even if there is, it doesn't matter! He is just an old man who has been trapped by love all his life! He is very pitiful, his life is more painful than death, he endured losing his lover. What can be more painful than this?"

Such a sentence made Philip and Christ startled at the same time. She was an 18-year-old girl, but she spoke so wisely of life, she spoke so casually of her life, love, so calmly.

"The grievances will pass away with the wind!" Esther looked at Christ quietly, without a trace of hatred, even if he wanted to kill her, even if he had pretended to be her biological father, even if he once separated her and Hudson...

Everything had passed with the wind!

Perhaps he was infected by her calmness, Christ staggered and sat on the bed, suddenly cried, buried his head in the palms of his hands, his shoulders trembled violently.

The door was open, and Esther took Philip's hand and walked out of the basement.

Hudson stood quietly by the door.

Esther also reached out, took his hand, and looked up at him. "Hudson, forgive him, okay?"

Hudson was speechless. He felt uncomfortable with a frog in his throat. He had the urge to cry and looked down at her. "You really don't love me anymore? Even a little bit?"

Esther looked at him quietly and shook her head.

When she shook her head, it startled him.

"I will always have you in my heart. I love you, I love you very much. Even now I can love you with my life, but that is only the love of a sister for her brother! The love before I met Elijah was also love, I wanted to marry nobody else but you, but life cannot stop at the age of 17, Hudson, if we have missed it, we can't go back! Why should we hold on to the obsession in our hearts? Why should we guard the impossible?"

"Then will you always wait for Elijah?" Hudson withdrew his hand, he knew, he really lost her!☐☐☐☐☐☐
