A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 588

“What about Elijah?”

“Hmm! How about I let my daughter marry him? Lena, I would have a daughter and let her marry your son, okay? Look at these eyes, they are as deep as the sea!”

“As deep as the sea?” Lena laughed, “Esther, you are hilarious, but to be honest, if my son really marries your daughter, then I will be really happy. There are not many kind people like you in this world anymore!”

“But Lena, Elijah says that Kattie is the kindest. It seems that you are right. Kattie really does like Elijah!” Esther pouted, “I am truly worried!”

Lena sighed.

But Esther smiled, “Whatever, I don't want to think about it. If Elijah betrayed me, I surely will not want him anymore!”

Although Esther said it as a joke, she still felt the pain in her heart when she said this.

She hoped that day would never come. She hoped she was just thinking too much.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Esther came back from Lena’s house.

Elijah didn’t come back. Esther called him, he said that he had to meet an expert who came from the United States. The expert would examine Kattie. He told Esther not to wait for him. He would not come back tonight.

Esther wanted to go to the hospital, but Elijah said that she had classes tomorrow and he was worried that her studies would be affected if she came.

So, Esther did not go.

Tonight, Esther did not sleep!

The weather was quite gloomy on Monday, when she came out from home, she didn’t put on extra clothes. She didn’t expect that it would be cold. But anyhow, she went to attend her class!

As soon as she entered the school, she realized that many people were looking at her, whispering something and their hands were holding newspapers.

She was stunned and confused. Then, she went to buy a newspaper.

She realized that the headline for today’s entertainment section was about her relationship with the Ball family, saying that she was Christ’s daughter, the marriage between the Perry family and the Ball family, would dominate the whole business industry in G City.

Esther just didn't expect that the reporter would report about her identity so soon. Entertainment reporters were really all pervasive. She was not sure whether Elijah had seen the news.

He didn’t come back all night and didn’t call her either. She wanted to call him, but she felt like she was acting too petty. After all, she was the one who hit Kattie.

She didn’t pay too much attention to the news report. She was sleepy during her class because she had insomnia last night.

Later, it suddenly began to rain outside the window. It was still raining heavily even after her class ended.

She looked at those couples under the umbrellas in the rain, and then she saw men who came to pick up their girlfriends. She was envious.

She didn’t know what happened, the driver didn’t come to pick her up. Later, the driver called her telling her that he was involved in an accident and couldn’t pick her up today. The driver got her a taxi, and the taxi would reach the school immediately.

Esther looked at the sky and stood outside the building waiting for the taxi.

However, even until everyone in the building was gone, there was still no taxi that came to pick her up.

Outside of the school building, inside a luxury car, Philip Howlden looked at the thin figure standing outside the building. She looked so lonely in the rain. He tiredly pinched his eyebrows and asked the driver sitting in front, “Is that her? Elijah’s woman? Christ’s daughter? Esther?”

Maybe because she also had the same surname ‘Price’, so Philip felt pitiful towards her and refused to believe that she was Christ’s daughter.

“Yes, young master, the information we gathered had confirmed her identity, but we still couldn’t find out who her mother is, we still need some time to investigate that!”

Philip was silent for a moment, he picked up his umbrella and got off the car.

“You looked pitiful being alone here. Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride!”

Esther who was looking down raised her head and saw Philip deep eyes, she frowned, “You? What are you doing here?”

“Why can't I be here?” Philip raised his pretty eyebrow, “You dare not get in my car?”

“Why would I? I just disdain to get in your car!” Then she lowered her head again, the cold wind blew and Esther who was only wearing a T-shirt, shivered.

Philip didn't speak. He kept his umbrella and took off his suit coat. Then, he put it on her.

In an instant, Esther felt the warmth, she raised her head again and wanted to take off his suit coat.

“If you are cold, don’t refuse it. No one would sympathize with you! Your body belongs to you. If you catch a cold, you are the one who will suffer!” His tone was cold but what he said was true and it even had some concerns towards her that even Philip didn’t realize. “Just think of me as a person who feels happy helping others and likes to send lost child home!”

Esther no longer refused him, she just stopped with what she was doing and remained silence. She thought about what happened all these years. Every time when it rained, Hudson would come, but this time, Hudson wouldn’t come anymore!

Because Hudson had no reason to come anymore!

Elijah also did not come!

She suddenly realized that actually she was still alone! Why did she feel very lonely whenever it rained? But when she thought about her hitting Kattie and that was why Elijah had to take care of her, how could she feel bad about it?

When a stranger suddenly came and gave her warmth, she could not help but cry in tears, she lowered her head and whispered, “Thank you!”

“Let's go! I’ll send you back!” Philip said, he had inexplicable feelings towards Esther who lowered her head and acted indifferent towards him, “You look quite pitiful!”

“I'm not pitiful!” Esther retorted in a low voice.

“Alright! You are not pitiful!” Philip couldn’t help smiling.

Esther thought Philip didn’t seem like a bad guy after all, so she said, “Okay, if so, please send me to the hospital!”

She stood up. Unexpectedly, because she had been squatting on the ground for a long time, so her feet were numb, and her whole body couldn’t stand firm. She fell to another side. Philip stretched out his hand and held her. Esther relied on Philip to stand firm, “Are you all right?”

But they didn't see a black Veyron passing by them outside the school building. Elijah coincidentally saw Philip holding Esther. Both of them sharing an umbrella and got in a car.
