"Esther!" Ethel turned around and decided to hold Esther to protect her even if Eva pointed her gun at Esther. When Eva shoot again, a flurry of shots rang. A lot of people came, with guns in their hands!
Ethel was protecting Esther. Esther ouched with pains and scolded him. "It's all your fault. I am nearly killed!"
"I'm sorry!" Ethel carried her to the car when there was chaos.
Because of these people that appeared suddenly, Eva was taken away, and those men in black got into the car. Another group of people began to chase them.
Esther knew Elijah had these men protect her!
When she was beside the car, the blood dropped on her hand. Her shoulder hurt, but there should not be so much blood. She titled her head and found that Ethel was bleeding. "Ethel, you're injured!"
"It doesn't matter!" Ethel shook his head. "Get in the car!" He pushed Esther into the car. "Lie on the backseat and don't move! I'll take you to the hospital!"
"You're injured. Why do you keep bleeding?" Esther was scared and almost cried!
Ethel gritted his teeth and got on the car. A person appeared and said to Esther, "Madam, I come here to protect you. I'll send you to the hospital!"
In the hospital.
"Esther!" Elijah rushed in with a pale face. He looked at the blood on Esther's shoulder and his eyes were filled with coldness. "Damn it. I'll kill her!"
"I'm fine!" Though she looked pale with pains, she was clear-minded. Ethel was in the emergency room. The doctor said that the middle of Ethel's back may be hit. It was serious.
"Where's the doctor? Hurry up to have her wounds dressed!" Elijah roared and threw his arms around Esther's waist.
The doctor was about to take the bullet out of Esther, but the door was kicked by Elijah and he broke in.
The doctor was not surprised at all. Elijah was a domineering man and could not stand that his beloved got hurt. Therefore, the doctor was not affected and continued to disinfect the wounds and have them dressed.
Elijah looked at the wounds on her fair shoulder. When the doctor dressed her wounds, Elijah felt pain.
Esther looked pale because she lost a lot of blood, but she didn't cry. She was like a stubborn and lonely doll in winter.
"Elijah, I thought that I couldn't see you anymore!" Esther couldn't help but cry in Elijah's arms. Esther tightly grasped Elijah's hand, "We're almost killed!"
Elijah's gaze turned sharp and he put on a gloomy look, "I'll let her pay the price!"
Her wounds had been dressed.
Esther leaned against Elijah powerlessly and asked about Ethel. "By the way, what about Ethel?"
"He's all right!" Elijah picked her up. "We're going home!"
A week later.
It was reported that Eva solicited in the nightclub. She went crazy, fell off, and died after she was played with by three men.
"Is Ethel really fine?" Esther was grounded and stayed at home for a week.
"Sure!"
"Did you have anything to do with Eva's death?"
"Don't be curious. Her death does not harm us." Eva died by accident, but Elijah felt that a big trouble had been solved. He felt angry about Ethel because Esther was involved in Ethel's affairs and got hurt.
"I'll call Ethel!" Esther said, "Why does he turn off his cell phone?"
"He may feel guilty and have no courage to see you. Don't think of him. He won't die!"
"If he hadn't stood in front of me, I would have died. I should go to see him." After all, it was not his fault. Esther wanted to figure out if Ethel loved her.
In the hospital.
Philip visited Ethel, "You almost kill my sister!"
Ethel's heart twitched, "Esther is fine?"
"She gets much better and keeps asking your conditions. Do you want to see her?"
Ethel shook his head, "I am not so brazen-faced!"
"You didn't mean it! Eva has died. You are afraid of seeing Esther, aren't you?" Philip laughed. "You fear that you cannot control your feelings? You've loved her secretly for so many years. What do you fear?"
"You?" Ethel was stunned, "How did you see that?"
"I am not Elijah. I won't trouble you. But if he knows that you love her wife, I am afraid that he will cut it off with you!" Philip chuckled. "Esther is so charming that a lot of men love her!"

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