Esther hesitated for a moment, looking at the Elijah, wordless.
Elijah stood still without speaking.
The air flowed.
Esther knew that she’d better not be so nice to him if she wouldn’t be with him for a whole life. But the problem was that she and Hudson could never go back! Hudson’s family interests were much more important than her! What about Elijah?
But now, it seemed that she had to be nice to him!
She knew that she could run away, but she was distressed to hear that he was injured. Everything was in a mess!
Esther seemed to be less confident about her feelings to Hudson.
Elijah, however, was not as cold as he was before. He looked mild and his tone was soft.
She looked at him and lowered her head. "If you want my heart, you will have to take it yourself!"
He shuddered and was pleasantly surprised. "Then you can't escape!"
...
Esther had been with Elijah in the hospital for two whole days. Their relationship was also warming up. During this period, they had a great time.
On Sunday night, Elijah insisted on leaving the hospital, because tomorrow was the day when Esther went to register at school.
"You can't leave the hospital like this!" Esther said, shaking her head.
"Then transfer to another hospital. I'm going to stay in G City!" he said.
"Elijah, you are not a child. You should stay here for a few more days and leave the hospital after the injury is getting better!" Esther felt frustrated, looking at Elijah, who was regardless of his injury.
"But tomorrow is your first day at school?" He said. "Don't miss it! Let's go. It’s doesn’t matter wherever hospital I stay! "
Esther's heart ached, and she choked, holding his big hand, "Elijah, I can take a rain check. At least, I have to wait until you get better!"
"Esther, are you worried about me?" he looked at her and asked.
"Yes! I do!” Esther shouted in anger, "Can you be more undemanding? Why are you guys so annoying? "
Hudson would rather kill himself in order not to sleep with Winnie, and now Elijah insisted on leaving hospital for her. Why didn’t they think about their health?
Elijah raised his eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Did I worry you? Guys? You mean me and Hudson?”
"You can’t leave the hospital before you get better!" she said, "Otherwise, I won't go to school! Yes! You guys, like Hudson. You guys are troublesome!"
"Esther, you don't want me to be hospitalized in G City because Hudson is there? You're worried that he's sad to see you take care of me like this, aren't you?" Elijah suddenly stood up, staring at her with a cold face. He couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t care about him a little.
Esther was shocked. She had never thought in that way. What did he mean?
It was true that she didn’t go to Hudson who was also in hospital these days. She had been with Elijah all the time. Esther was very aggrieved, and she turned away, ignoring him.
What a self-righteous man! He was being unreasonable!
Elijah took Esther's silence as a yes, a trace of sadness flashing by his face. He managed to calm down and said, "Just go! I'm not going to leave the hospital!"
"Fine!" Esther was angrier when he mentioned it again when she decided to move on.
She grabbed her bag and left!
Elijah was dumbfounded. His outstretched hand was hanging in the air. As Esther slammed the door and left, Elijah sat on the bed and took a deep breath, depressed and annoyed!
Esther regretted it as soon as she went out. How could she have a fight with him, who was not in good health and in a bad mood. But he was too irritating!
"Miss Price!" Danny caught up.
"Leave me alone!" Esther vented her anger on Danny.
"Miss Price, the young master is afraid that you will not be able to register tomorrow, and he wants to see you every day so that he’d like to transfer to another hospital!"
"I don't want to see him!" Esther said angrily.
"Miss Price, the young master really likes you!" Danny said again.
Esther stopped abruptly. "How do you know? You’re not him. Do you know him so well?"
"It's obvious! You get along so well these two days. The young master laughs a lot. It shows how much he likes you!" Danny explained, "Miss Price, don't be angry with him. He must be very sad when you leave!"
Esther said, pursing her lips, "Hum! I spare him for the sake of you!"
Esther went back to the ward.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
