Chapter 570 Feed Me


    Esther saw him lying on the bed, his forehead patched with cotton gauze and he was wearing a patient


    outfit. She didn’t know where exactly he injured himself.


    She looked at him with a pouting face, her eyes were red and she felt relief knowing that he was still


    alive. But she said stubbornly, “I’m here to see if you are dead!”


    “You must be disappointed, still alive!” Elijah replied coldly. Darn it, he thought she was worried about


    him, but she was here to see if he was dead!


    Esther threw her bag onto the sofa, walked towards him, and opened his shirt.


    He was lying on the bed with his back facing up, it must be the back that got injured. She opened his


    shirt and saw his back filled with bruises and wounds. She took a deep breath, there was not an inch


    that was not injured, it was all green and purple in colors, some parts were even swollen and wounded,


    it was unbearable to look at it.


    Esther’s tears rolled down again, she thought she wouldn’t care about him, dead or alive, but seeing


    him lying on the bed with a wounded back, she felt sad. She thought she only cared about Hudson, but


    she had been having heartache ever since she learned about his injuries, and her heart was in pain


    when Hudson was injured.


    Elijah didn’t stop her, but there was no more response after she opened his shirt.


    He wanted to turn and look at her, but a sharp pain came from the back when he tried to move, Elijah


    frowned in pain.


    But he saw Esther’s redden eyes and tears—who were those tears for? He did not dare to guess! But


    he smiled.


    “Does it hurt?” She finally spoke with a sorrowful voice.


    Elijah felt shy andin slightly, “You are annoying! Didn’t you wish me dead?”


    “I don’t want you dead!” She wiped away her tears and carefully covered him with the clothes. His


    wounds were disinfected, and medicine was used, but it still looked horrible.


    She turned away to avoid him from seeing her tears, but he grabbed her hand and pull her over. He


    disregarded the pain from the back and got down from the bed.


    “Stay put!” She saw him moving and got nervous. But she was afraid to stop him because she was


    afraid that she might identally hurt him. “Don’t get up, why are you getting up? Elijah, can you hear


    me?”


    He ignored her, got down, and put on his shoes. Such a simple movement had made him sweat, but he


    insisted to get down from the bed.


    He held her hands up to check on her injuries and grabbed her hands tight after making sure that it was


    no longer swollen.


    She was touched by his gentleness and care, she wiped away the sweat on his forehead with her


    sleeves.


    He must be in severe pain to have sweat like this, she thought.


    “Can you please lie on the bed?” She said worriedly.


    He shook his head and looked at her passionately, “Why are you here?”


    She raised her head and stared at him silently.


    This man made her felt the same way about Hudson, he made her heartache. No, she felt even more


    pain than when Hudson was hurt!


    Elijah locked her with his arms, pulling her closer to him. He said in a husky voice, “Babe… you start to


    care? Don’t you wish me dead?”


    “I don’t want you to die!” She shook her head abruptly with tears rolling down, “I don’t want you dead!”


    “Why?” He felt his body ache eased slightly.


    “I need you to cook for me, buy me clothes, desk, mobile phone, shoes, deliveries and buy me


    delicious food. Who will drive me to and from school if you die? So, you must live…” She leaned onto


    him lightly, she cried, and her tears dropped onto his chest, warming his heart.


    Elijah felt that his injuries were worthwhile, but he said, “Oh, it’s all for you!”


    The tears had dried up, she pouted and argued, “Yes, it’s all for me, selfishness is amon norm, of


    course, I need to be selfish, so you shall take good care of yourself, do not get into an ident or get


    injured, live a healthy life, I don’t want you to get sick, who will serve me if you do…”

    “Huh!” He sighted but closed his eyes and got sunken into the sweetness, “What a heartless dummy!”


    "You are the biggest dummy!" Esther defended.


    Elijah opened his eyes slowly, he released her with a smile, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He felt tired


    and realized that his injuries were severe this time.


    This reminded him of the moment when the scaffold copsed, he thought he would never see Esther


    again, but luckily, he was just wounded, he was still alive.


    It seemed like there were some quality issues with the tools and safety procedure, he had to


    investigate further to provide the family of the dead and the wounded with a proper exnation.


    “Get back on the bed, what do you want to do?” Esther didn’t know what he was looking for.


    “Danny,e in!” Elijah called with a loud and deep voice.


    “Young Master!” Danny saw Elijah was out of the bed the moment he stepped in. “Young Master, the


    doctor said you should not get down this few day!”


    “It’s alright! Go to the family to discusspensation at once. Doubled the maximum amount of


    compensation, we need to calm the crowd and inform them that we will still pay the sry during the


    recovery period! And tell Grandpa that there is a problem with the project, ask him to investigate further


    and find the person responsible for this!” Elijah ordered at once.


    “Yes!” Danny nodded. “But Young Master, you shouldn’t be out of the bed!”


    “Elijah, get onto the bed now!” Esther screamed after they were done. “Do you hear me?”


    Danny wanted to say something else, but he stopped when he saw Esther ordering his young master


    and he seems like obeying her, he left without much worry.


    “How odd!” Elijah refused to be ordered around and said naughtily. “Are you being caring?”


    “Of course, I care about my servant!” Esther imed. “Elijah, get back on now!”


    “No!”


    “How dare you!” She screamed while stroke lightly on his back with her finger. Elijah mourned in pain,


    and Esther went, “Quick, the next stroke is going to be harder, you will be in vain."


    “Heartless!” There was a smile on Elijah’s face, which was rare. His nce was gentle and filled with


    happiness. He went back onto the bed as told, Esther put his shoes under the bed and sat on the chair


    next to him.


    “Have you eaten?” She asked.


    “No!” His sight never moved away from her the entire time.


    “Let me get you something to eat!” She said.


    ***


    “No, someone will send food!” Elijah grabbed her hand.


    She startled and looked at the arm that held her hand, long, strong,rge, and warm.


    Someone knocked on the door.


    “Come in!” Elijah answered.


    Esther tried to pull back her hand but was grabbed tightly. She was afraid to hurt him, so she stayed


    still.


    Someone came in with a bag with a thermos and meal box. “Young Master, do you want to have your


    meal?”


    “Put it here and get out! Do not disturb me!” Elijah ordered.


    The person went out.


    Esther asked, “Do you want to eat?”


    “Hm!” He nodded.


    Esther prepared him a small bowl of porridge. She put it in front of him, “How do you eat?”


    “Feed me!” He said at ease but with a firm tone.


    She threw a nce at him and said, “Your back is injured, but your hands are fine. Why would you


    need me?”


    “I’m not eating then!” He rejected with a low voice.


    “Alright! I will feed you!” Esther scooped a spoonful of porridge and delivered it to his mouth.


    Elijah kept his lips closed, she asked, “Didn’t you want me to feed? What now? Master?”


    He nced at her proudly, “It’s your pleasure to get the chance to feed me!”


    He ate the porridge happily.


    Esther let him off this time since he was a patient, but it was rare to see him acting like a child.


    “Elijah?” She pulled back her hand after he finished the bowl but Elijah grabbed her hand again. She


    was puzzled and asked, “Why?”


    He looked at her silently.


    She asked, “Are you crazy? Do you want more?”


    “Hm!” He did not reject.


    Esther fed him another bowl and a small bun in the lunch box. It was weird that Elijah had eaten quite a


    lot this time. “Didn’t you always eat little? You’ve eaten quite a lot.”


    Elijah stunned. It was long ago since someone treated him this way, he forced himself to be an adult


    after his parents died from the air crash. Only Kattie had treated him the same way but Kattie was


    laying on the bed unconscious now!


    He felt guilty thinking about Kattie, and his face stiffened. Kattie was ina because of Esther but he


    is loving Esther now. But he thought Kattie wouldn''t me him even when she was awakened, since


    she was too kind-hearted.


    “Elijah?” Esther called realizing that he was in a daze. “More?”


    He shook his head.


    Esther wiped his lips with a tissue, he felt like being shot by electricity whenever her hands touched his


    face. He moved his lips and moaned inwardly. He blurted, “Babe, don’t treat me so good if you can’t


    love me wholeheartedly.”
