A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 634

What she said made Elijah feel a sharp pain in his heart, “Esther…”

“I’m tired and I want to sleep, can you hug me to sleep?” she said.

“Okay!” he sobbed.

He couldn’t sleep in the night, not a single wink. When the sun rose, he passed out and napped briefly. Esther woke up and left the room.

She called Philip and asked for a bottle of sleeping pills.

Philip asked her what it was for, but she didn’t explain. Philip brought the pills over anyways.

Quinn was worried about Esther, “Madam, you’re up already. Do you want something to eat? I’ll cook something!”

Philip then realized that the pills were for Elijah.

“Philip, how long can he sleep with two pills?”

“This is a good one, so about a whole day!”

“Esther…”

“Philip, I know everything. Can you accompany me to the surgery? Don’t let him go, he will not be able to handle it. He couldn’t sleep well for a long time now. Don’t tell him what I know, okay?”

Philip could only nod his head somberly listening to her request.

During the meal, Elijah ate the soup that Quinn made per Esther’s request so that Esther wouldn’t be so worried about him.

After a while, his head felt heavy.

Philip brought Elijah to the room. After that, Esther changed her clothes and said to Philip, “Philip, let’s go to the hospital!”

“Esther!” Philip went up and hugged her, “My dear Esther, I feel so sorry for you!”

Esther shook her head while being in his arms, “I’m okay, Elijah is in a worse spot. He hides everything he feels, I cannot let him see this in person!”

At the hospital.

Esther lied down on the cold surgery table. She chose surgery as she already thought about the pros and cons of taking the abortion pill. The doctor said that there was a 10% chance that the abortion wouldn’t be completely clean with the pill. They would then have to do surgery to clean the remaining out, and hence she just chose to do surgery from the start. She just wanted to let this soul, who wasn’t predestined to be with Elijah and her, go to heaven soon.

The baby was growing inside of her without a heart, such a careless baby. They weren’t predestined to be together!

She just hoped that their next baby would remember to bring a heart with them as she couldn’t handle this a second time!

The cold surgery tools penetrated her body, she couldn’t feel any pain.

Even if she could, the pain could never compare to the pain she was feeling in her heart.

It was only three minutes. The surgery only lasted three minutes and it was done!

She felt something dripping out of her body.

It was bloody and gruesome.

Esther didn’t shed any tears looking at the bloody liquid and clumps being put into a proper container and taken away. Her eyes were just soulless.

‘My dear child! Next time, remember to bring a heart with you. I’m so sorry, I didn’t want to do this! I’m so sorry!’

Esther’s face was pale, she got off the surgery table and her thin frame was rickety. She tried to calm her emotions, her abdomen hurt, and the pain was indescribable. She hoped to stay strong as she walked out, Philip was out there waiting for her. She had to be strong when facing Elijah at home as well. She shouldn’t cry, she should never cry!

Elijah ran like a mad man towards the surgery room. He saw Philip standing outside of the surgery room and his frigid face crumbled.

“I’m sorry, Elijah. This had to be done, I decided to bring Esther here!” Philip said regrettably as he looked at Elijah’s face which was filled with worry and misery.

Elijah’s face was distorted as he panted to catch his breath, after a few heaves he managed to suppress his hysterical roar, “Is Esther in there?”

“Yes, the surgery is still underway. She will be out soon, nobody else is allowed inside!” Philip glanced at Elijah. He lowered his head regrettably.

At the same time, the door to the surgery room opened. Esther walked out; her face was pale. Elijah was stunned, he stared blankly at her, “Esther…”

He ran over and grabbed her feeble body.

“Elijah, I’m fine! Philip’s pill is useless. He said that it should knock you out for at least a day!” She pursed her bleached lips, “Were they fake?”

Philip felt a twinge in his heart. He wanted to retort that Elijah was just superhuman, otherwise, why would Evan Gray choose him to be his successor? But he didn’t say anything.

“Esther, you silly girl!” Elijah’s pale face was still twisted. He caressed Esther’s warm cheeks with his trembling hands and looked at her dearly. This silly girl came to do the surgery on her own. She was worried that he would be sad.
