A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 592

"There're a lot of beautiful women in H Street, I have a fetish for collecting them, so naturally I can't miss this place!" Philip blinked mischievously, and Esther suddenly laughed.

"You're funny!"

"Get in the car, where are you going? I'll drive you!"

"Aren't you looking for the beautiful women?"

"I can find them another day!"

Esther shook her head. "No, I'll take the bus myself, thank you!"

After finishing her words, ignoring Philip, she walked towards the bus stop. It so happened that a bus arrived, and Esther boarded it.

She hadn't seen Kattie for days and wondered how she was doing now!

The bus stopped at the hospital. Esther got off the bus and headed toward the inpatient building. She walked slowly as she hadn't eaten anything before she got here in a hurry.

The moment she walked in, she saw Elijah sitting by Kattie's bed in the ward. Seeing her enter, his expression was indifferent while she was a little embarrassed. A smile then bloomed on her face as she turned to Kattie and said, "Miss Cole, are you feeling better?"

Kattie was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around her head. Once she saw Esther, she froze slightly and then smiled at her as well. "You, you're Esther!"

"Ah–you can talk now?" Esther was stunned for a moment, then rushed to her in surprise. "Can you talk?"

"Yes!" Kattie had been able to speak after waking up from the external ventricular drainage operation.

"That's great!" Esther almost cried with tears of joy. "It's all my fault for causing you to lie in bed so long!"

"It's okay, I know it's not what you want. You're scared these days too, aren't you?" Kattie's words sounded truly clear. Although the speed of her speech was a bit slow, it was unusually clear. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to listen to.

"It's my fault for causing you to suffer, you have to get better as soon as possible!" Esther sincerely held Kattie's hand and said, "Otherwise I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life!"

"Okay! I hope I can recover too!" Kattie said softly.

"Mr. Perry, the doctor said that Miss Cole is ready to eat!" The caregiver came in from outside, and the moment she saw Esther, she greeted her with a smile. "Miss Price, you're here!"

Esther saw that she was carrying the thermos from the hospital in her hand, which should be the lunch prepared for Kattie.

"Give it to me!" Elijah took the bowl from the caregiver's hand and his gaze fell tenderly on Kattie. "Kattie, let's eat something!"

"Okay!" Kattie smiled tenderly, looked towards Elijah who was next to her, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Sorry to bother you, Elijah!"

"Can I feed her?" Esther asked enthusiastically.

"I'll do it!" Elijah said in a deep voice, but when he looked at Kattie, his icy gaze then turned to tenderness, "This is your favourite dried scallop porridge!"

Esther was a little embarrassed and took a few steps back.

Smelling the rich and sweet smell, Esther's stomach also grumbled a few times. She was hungry too!

Elijah scooped a spoonful of dried scallop porridge, blew it, and fed it into Kattie's mouth while it was no longer scalding. Kattie said softly after swallowing, "Although it's not as good as what you cook, it's good enough to have such a taste in the hospital!"

"Then you should get well as soon as possible. When you get better, I'll cook it for you!" Elijah said softly.

Esther watched Elijah talking gently to Kattie, and watched him feed Kattie spoonful by spoonful, he was gentle. Thinking of Hudson also feeding her in the same way when she was sick before, she quietly turned her head to look out of the window. Looking at the blue sky and the bright sunshine in the distance, she suddenly felt dizzy and thought to herself that she hadn't taken any supplements during her period these days, and she should take some too. She should take care of herself.

"Want some more?" Elijah asked.

"No!" Kattie said softly.

"Does your head still hurt?"

"I feel much better in my head except for some soreness in my legs. I still can't feel anything in my right leg, hopefully, I won't be paralyzed in bed!"

"You won't! Let me give you a massage!" Elijah lifted the quilt and moved gently to examine her right leg. His coarse fingers gently slid up and down Kattie's leg, massaging with moderate force.

"Elijah! It's okay, just let the caregiver massage me!" Kattie said shyly, her hands gripping the quilt nervously, a blush appearing on her face.

"You'll get better, didn't the doctor say you're recovering so quickly? Bear with it, the blood can be circulated easily by massage." Elijah said in a low voice, looking sideways at her downcast face with the rosy eye-rims, the glistening gaze, the shy look, the softly bitten cherry lips. Kattie had recovered, she had!

Seeing such a scene, Esther quietly retreated from the ward.

Kattie's eyes couldn't help but look at the figure walking out the door and suddenly shouted, "Esther, you may go back. I know you're studying, go back and finish all your homework, don't let Elijah worry about you!"

Elijah looked up and saw Esther turn back awkwardly, with a stiff smile on her face. While his face was devoid of any expression as he continued to massage Kattie without saying a word.

"Okay, Miss Cole, I'll visit you again! I'm going to eat now!" Esther thought that it turned out that Elijah's tenderness didn't belong to her, and she didn't even know what she had done wrong.

"You don't have to visit me so frequently, I'll be fine with Elijah here," Kattie said considerately, a complicated glint flashing in her downcast gaze.

"Okay! I'll find an appropriate time to visit you!" Not knowing whether it was appropriate to say so, Esther went downstairs to eat.

She wouldn't treat herself badly, especially with her stomach.
