Winnie was struggling. She still felt the pains, but she couldn't help falling in love with Hudson. She couldn't forget him. He was the only man that she loved in her lifetime. Fortunately, Hudson finally fell in love with her. She felt satisfied.
She put her hand on her heart and felt his heartbeat. She closed her eyes and sighed, with tears of joy dropping on his chest.
He stooped to pick her up and went upstairs.
***
In the cafe outside the university.
Esther went in and saw Lena wearing a white suit and sitting by the window. Lena seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't notice that Esther came.
Lena's suit was very formal but was a little old-fashioned. She was like a white-collar but looked a little weird. "Lena!
Lena came to her senses and turned around when Esther called her. When she saw Esther, she smiled. "There you are!"
"What are you thinking? Man?" Esther joked.
"What are you talking about!" Lena's face turned red.
"Don't hide from me. You seemed to be thinking about something about love. It's not a big deal. What kind of man is he?" Esther asked curiously.
Lena sighed without a word.
"What's the matter?"
"I come back home!" Lena whispered, stirring the coffee in the cup and buying a cup for Esther.
"It's good. Do your parents forgive you? What about Oscar?"
"Oscar was picked up by my parents. He was registered in my brother's household. He can't always be an illegitimate child. It was not good for his health!" Lena sighed. "But I agree to listen to my parents. That is, I will have a blind date and marry a stranger."
"Good heavens! How could that be?" Esther resisted the urge to scream.
Lena felt bitter. Perhaps this was life.
"My brother married my sister-in-law through a blind date, but they get along well. When my sister-in-law knew my situation, she agreed to let my son be registered. So, blind date is not so bad!" Lena comforted herself.
Lena no longer thirsted for love after she made mistakes many years ago. She only cared about her son. As long as her son was in good health, that would be enough.
After chatting for a long time with Lena, Esther decided to walk back home, so the driver could only follow her. But Esther met Ethel on the way home, so she got in his car.
"Why are you strolling?" Ethel asked.
"I'm worried about Lena!" Esther sighed, "Ethel, will you feel sad if you get married to a woman that you don't love?"
Ethel was stunned and said, "If I can't be with the woman that I love the most, it doesn't matter who I married."
"Well! I remember you are not this type" Esther was astonished. "When do you become so gentle and well-cultivated!"
She looked at him as if he was a monkey. He drove and smiled. "Let's go bungee jumping?"
The last time they went bungee jumping was about four years ago.
"Alright! I have time!" Esther smiled and said, "I remember that you invited me to a fish banquet after we went bungee jumping last time! It's my turn to treat you to dinner this time!"
"You still remember?" He was excited.
"I have good memories" She raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing!" Ethel shook his head and grinned.
"You are like an idiot!" Esther said jokingly.
Ethel didn't mind. He just sighed. "Are you happy now?
"Why not?" She asked.
"That's good!"
"Ethel, you are a little strange."
"Am I?"
"Of course. Are you in love?"

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