Chapter 636 Twelve Years Ago

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Hello, are you being dumb?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“...”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I’ve known her twelve years ago; I’ve known your mother!” Elijah said slowly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Philip froze. “You’ve met my mother?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Yes!” Elijah nodded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You’ve known my mother and sister since that time?” Philip did not expect that it would turn out this
way, “Since you’ve known babe for twelve years, do you know why she was adopted by Hudson?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah narrowed his eyes. “Babe was only five years old when your mother was sick and passed out at
the doorway of the company. She was crying and begging for someone to help her mother, but no one
wanted to help. Babe talked a lot. It was time for leaving work. My grandfather and I walked out of the
company and saw her begging for help. I would never forget that scene on that day. I know the pain of
losing a family member. My grandfather personally asked the driver to bring them back home. He even
asked our family doctor to check on her. Fortunately, your mother was having a cold and low in blood
sugar due to malnutrition, and that’s why she passed out.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Philip grabbed tightly on the armrest of the chair; the green veins were showing out on his arms.
“What’s next?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“After that, your mother woke up and stayed at my house for three days. She insisted to leave and
rejected my grandfather’s kindness. She mentioned that she wanted to go back to look for her
husband. She was crying when she was talking. She was holding an emerald bracelet at the same
time. She kept touching the bracelet while admitting that she was wrong!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“She said she wanted to come back to look for my father?” It was out of Philip’s expectation.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“That’s all I heard because she kept touching the bracelet therefore, I paid a little more attention to that
bracelet. My mother had this kind of bracelet too. She went to heaven with my father along with the
bracelet during the air crash. I did miss my parents so much when I saw your mother crying on that
day.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Therefore, he was crying alone that day! Esther did see him crying when she was playing in the
garden. She seemed to be excited to stay in the Perrys’ house for few days. She was very active and
talkative.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When Esther saw him crying, she used her little hand to wipe his tears. He did not say a single word at
that time.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When Eula got better, they planned to leave. Before they left, the little girl was reluctant to leave and
ran towards him secretly. She looked at his face and said, “Elijah, you’re very handsome. I want to
marry you when I grow up, can you wait for me to grow up and get married?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah was startled and looked at her in shock. He could not imagine that he would marry this little bride.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At the time, he did not promise because he treated her words like a joke.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Elijah, call me Babe. I used to be Crystal but now you can call me Babe. Don’t ever forget about me!”
That little girl tried to hook her hand as she was hinting him to bend down.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was no reason why, but Elijah bent down for her at that time.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Babe kissed him on his cheek unexpectedly. She blinked her eyes and looked at him in shock. She
added, “My mother always kisses my father this way. Elijah, I want to marry you, don’t forget me!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah looked at her confident face in shock. He was feeling absurd in his heart at that time. He was
treating her words as a joke only.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was unexpected that in the future whenever a random woman tried to approach him and wanted to
be his girlfriend, the image of her would appear in his mind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;During the first meeting in Las Vegas, it was his first time to start a conversation with a woman. He
planned to play around with that woman, he thought that she was talented and not a money-driven
person.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At that time when he looked at her cute face, he was filled with horror that he smiled secretly. Then, he
did not expect that she would escape from the high window. The surprise that she gave to him was
extraordinary.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He was curious that there was a sentence written on the glass of the bathroom at that time. Therefore,
he asked someone to investigate her, it turned out that she was the babe. That time when she
mentioned that she only loved Hudson, there was a sense of jealousy triggered in him. He did not care
about what she thought and took her virginity. It was kind of his first time feeling that he had ended his
virginity after so many years.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“At that time, it was said that she was being taken by Christ. Regarding the reason why she would want
to commit suicide, perhaps only Christ knew about it. Babe was the person who had witnessed all of
this. Therefore, sometimes she would forget about something, and perhaps it was too much for her to
handle!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Yes! All of this was related to Christ.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Your mother passed away two years later, I did not know why she wanted to look for your father and
then committed suicide. Babe was transferred to two different orphanages. Her name was still Babe in
the first orphanage, but she was called Esther in the second orphanage. Babe was announced dead in
the file in the first orphanage. Hudson also picked her up from the second orphanage! However, it was
confirmed that she was being taken care of by Hudson for the past ten years!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Both Elijah and Philip were grateful for it. Hudson was the real gentleman, a loving gentleman.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I want to look for Christ!” Philip said. He looked at Elijah and continued, “Don’t worry, I will take good
care of her. She’s my only sister, my only family member. I will ensure that she’s happy! It was
promised. Three years, that’s it! But how are you going to tell her that you’re leaving?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I will leave after two months; I will wait until she gets better. This was the condition which I made with
Evan Gray!” Within these two months, he would find a way to ensure Esther to get better and accepted
the fact that he would be gone. If he said it, he was afraid that she would not be able to take it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Please accompany her, I’m leaving!” Philip stood up. “Please make use of the last two months, I will
not disturb you two!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Is she going to accept it?” It seemed like an easy question, he asked himself back and forth. Elijah
slowly closed his eyes and felt the pain by himself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Philip looked at him quietly. Elijah’s face seemed extremely tough which made his face features quite
obvious, and it look cold and domineering. But when you looked closely, you could see the wrinkles
under his thick and black eyebrows showed his exhaustion and vicissitudes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Even if he was nominated by Evan Gray to be the chief, he was just an ordinary man who deeply fell in
love with an ordinary woman. He had various emotions and desires. What LN needed was not
someone with various emotions and desires but a calm and intelligent demon!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He could not blame him; he could sigh only. “If it wasn’t because of this miscarriage, I believe that Babe
would not accept it. After it happened this time, I realized that she was stronger and smarter than we
thought! Don’t worry, I will do my best to fight for you within these three years. But you need to clear the
name of LN and it’s better to turn it into a legal organization. Don’t forget about our promises about the
three years!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah remained silent as he pursed his thin lips.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Cheer up! At least, I hope Babe would be happy in these two months. It was not good to be upset
during the confinement, don’t show your sadness. There were many things to do be done.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah opened his eyes. Philip was startled by the grief in his eyes and said slowly, “I’m leaving now!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah finished smoking a stick of cigarette. After he felt calm, he went to the bedroom.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As he entered the door, he showed his stern face at her. He frowned. “Why do you get out from the
bed?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Ah...” Esther was shocked. “I, I’m fine! I can get down from the bed!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He walked towards her and carried her. He put her directly on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You might get cold even with any slightest wind, why are you not listening?” He sounded harsh but he
was worried.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Elijah! I’m fine!” Esther replied gently. She raised her head and saw him frowning his eyebrows.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His eyebrows could not stretch out for a while, she was so worried about him that she stretched out her
little hand to stroke his eyebrows.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah was speechless, his eyes darkened. It was hiding all his pain. He was holding her little hand as
he sat beside her. He raised his hand and brushed the hair in front of her eyes. He gently covered her
eyes with the palm of his hand.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He did not dare to look at the caring eyes. He was afraid that his reluctance would kill her.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the darkness, she curled her lips with a smile. She said in a low voice, “Don’t frown anymore, okay?
We can have a baby again, next time. Don’t think too much about it, okay? Don’t let me get upset
together with you.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;How could he tell her that he was going to break the promise, it was in between life and death that he
was going to break his promise!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Elijah!” Esther called him gently, but he did not respond. She called him ‘Dear!’ as her voice turned
even gentle.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah was stunned. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. He could not say a single word as he
slowly moved his hand away from her eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Dear.” She called him again. His dark eyes looked deep, and it flickered.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She touched his cold face with her little hands, her eyes were filled with pity. There were some lights in
his eyes, were it tears? She had never seen him being so fragile or even the helpless.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“We can have a baby again. Don’t worry about it anymore, okay?” She asked gently, “If you’re willing
to, we can have a baby again.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She thought that he was struggling about this matter!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“In the future...” Elijah replied in a low voice. A sense of sorrow flickered across his eyes. “Yes, we will
have a baby in the future. Therefore, you need to take care of yourself and ensure yourself to be
healthy!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“How about you? You also have to be healthy too, okay?” She looked at him while waiting for his
promise.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Both looked at each other. His heart trembled and he felt pain again.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The remaining two months. He could only spend two months with his babe. Time was indeed short, he
hoped that the time would stop at this moment and forever.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After twenty-three days.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was grounded by Elijah for a month, she was finally being released.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Elijah, I want to bungee!” After stepping out from the door, Esther was very excited and suggested it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No, you’re not allowed to do such a dangerous thing in the future!” He declined directly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“But...”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“There’s no reason!” He replied.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Okay!” Esther pouted her mouth without saying anything else. After a while, she suddenly rolled her
eyes and asked, “Can I go visit Lena?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“After the days you stayed in the bed, don’t you want to spend time with me?” Elijah asked her bitterly.
There was some sense of sadness in his heart, the pain of parting with her was right in front of him. He
had no idea how to face it. He did not know how to face it as an adult. How about her? What was his
babe going to do?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
