Chapter 587 It’s Good Enough to Have Oscar


    "Go out?" Elijah wondered.


    She didn''t want him to see her changing her pads. It was so embarrassing! "Don’t look! I don’t want you


    to see what I’m doing!"


    "Your clothes are dirty. I''ll carry you to take a bath!" He had already put on his clothes. Ignoring her


    shout, he bent down and carried her to the bathroom, "Where are the pads? Where are the pads you


    bought this afternoon?"


    "None of your business!" Esther was very shy.


    "Shy?" He teased her. "Use warm water to bathe!"


    Then he didn''t continue to embarrass her but went to the bedroom. He took the new undergarments


    and a nightgown from the closet. When he saw her little panties were all cute with bows, he couldn''t


    help but freeze. Once again, he wondered if he was robbing the cradle!


    That night, they stopped halfway, and it made Elijah upset. But he was also relieved that she wasn''t


    pregnant! She could continue with her studies. However, when thinking of her not being pregnant, he


    felt a sense of loss and had different feelings in his heart. He was thinking that one day she would give


    birth to a baby who looked like her or himself. He was looking forward to seeing the fruit of their love!


    Esther''s days were a bit hectic. She was going back and forth between school and the hospital every


    day. In addition, she had menstrual cramps, so her face turned pale.


    A few days had passed.


    Kattie still couldn''t speak. But obviously she was recovering quite well, and she could eat now.


    The doctor said there was a blood clot that was suppressing her nerves. It caused speech impediment.


    She could recover once the clot or the blood stasis had dispersed.


    On Sunday, Esther went to the hospital after drawing. Elijah was also there. He was always there in


    these few days. Kattie was especially happy to see Elijah.


    Just like at this moment, Esther saw Kattie’s eyes were focusing on Elijah all the time. While sitting in


    the ward, she wanted to take care of her but didn’t know what to do. Besides, there was caregivers too.


    She tried to talk to Kattie. But it was obvious that she didn''t seem to like listening to her.


    When she told jokes, Kattie didn’tugh. But once Elijah spoke, she wouldugh.


    Esther suddenly felt upset and so out of ce.


    And just in time, Lena Lloyd called her.


    "Lena, are you looking for me?"


    "Do you have time? Come and do me a favor!" Lena said on the other side of the phone.


    "Sure!" Esther agreed quickly. "I''ll be right there!"


    "Going out?" Elijah had just peeled an orange and gave a slice to Kattie.


    Esther saw him feeding Kattie. She ate it and smiled extremely happily. Suddenly, she felt that the way


    Kattie looked at Elijah was very gentle. The happy smile at the corner of her mouth was so dazzling.


    Esther felt very oppressed, "It''s Lena, she asked me to help her with something. I’ve got nothing better


    to do here at the moment. I''ll go first!"


    "Go home early!" Elijah unexpectedly didn''t stop her.


    Esther smiled brightly. She always used a smile to cover up her disappointment whenever she was


    upset. "Kattie, I''m leaving! Let Elijah take care of you!"


    After hearing her words, Kattie smiled extraordinarily bright and answered her lightly.


    Esther nodded and turned around. The moment she walked out the room, the smile on her face froze.


    She felt somehow upset. She didn''t leave hurriedly and didn''t understand why she stopped her


    footsteps.


    "Kattie,e, try to talk!" Elijah whispered to Kattie.


    "Ah—" Kattie was like a child who was just learning to speak and making simple monotone sound.


    "Rx! Take your time!" Elijah said. "Practice slowly. When you get better, I want to hear you y the


    piano and sing too. So you must recover!"


    "Heh-heh" It sounded like Kattie’sugh.


    Esther smiled again and walked out. She felt that her steps were getting heavier. Elijah had never


    spoken so much with her before, but he became talkative when he was with Kattie.


    Esther went to the address that Lena said to her by taxi. When she got off the car, then only she


    realized it was an alley, a very grubby alley. Lena was actually staying in this kind of ce. It was a


    slum.


    She walked further into the alley until she reached a dpidated tube-shaped building. Then, she heard


    a child crying, followed by Lena''s voice. "Baby, don''t cry, don''t cry!"


    Esther was stunned. She remembered that Lena had said she was a mother! She walked quickly into it


    and identally bumped into something. The crackling sound was extraordinarily loud. She turned


    around and found it was a broken old iron pot.


    She was so frightened that she shouted out. This ce was too crude, there were a lot of unexpected


    danger. When she turned around, she identally kicked someone’s garbage bin again and it created


    a loud sound. The rubbish all fell on the floor and made even louder noises.


    "Esther?" Lena came out and saw Esther. She pursed her lips, "Sorry for asking you toe here. I’ve


    no other choice!"


    "What happened?" Esther walked in the house with her. She then saw a baby crying in the baby


    walker.


    After she got in the house, Esther realized that Lena was staying in a house which was very simple and


    crude. There was only one room and the furniture was worn out. But the house was very clean and


    neat.


    The baby was very cute. He was about a year old and had a pair of eyes which were as blue as the


    ocean. The baby, who was initially crying, maybe because he saw someone was here and instantly


    stopped crying. Then, he curiously looked at Esther. His watery eyes made him more pitiful than ever.


    "Aww, baby. What a lovely baby. Whose baby is he?"


    "Mine!" Lena smiled bitterly.


    "Lena, it''s really your son?" Esther asked incredulously.


    "Yes, he''s my son!" Lena said. "Oscar, say hello to Esther!"


    Oscar sobbed and just stared at Esther with his eyes widely opened.


    Esther smiled and pinched his cheeks. She took some tissues to wipe his tears. "Wow, baby. What are


    you crying about? Who dares to make our baby angry? Tell me, I will help you destroy him!"


    Oscar kept looking at Esther and suddenly smiled. It was so cute when he smiled with some teardrops


    on his little face. He was so adorable. Only children couldugh or cry as they wanted. Esther liked this


    little guy right away. "Is he mixed race? Oh cutie, smile again! Come on, give me a kiss!"


    "No, he got a cold! Don''t let him pass it to you!"


    "Oh, I’m not afraid! I''m an adult!" Esther said and gave Oscar a big kiss on his little face. "Aww, little


    handsome guy. Do you like the kiss from me? Do you think I’m beautiful? Our little handsome guy


    laughs. Do you like me? He even has a pair of blue eyes. The eyes were so beautiful. Baby, I’m


    already falling in love with you. What can I do? You grow up quickly to marry me, okay? How about you


    bing my hero? It''s a deal. Little Oscar grows up quickly! Hehehe..."


    "Hehehe..." the little handsome Oscar followed Esther giggling.


    "You have such a big honor! Although my son is fond of beautiful women, he doesn''t simply smile to


    anyone!" Lena said.


    "Really?" Esther was ying with Oscar, "What''s his name? Oscar? How to spell it?"


    “Yes! Oscar, O-S-C-A-R!” Lena said.


    "Where''s the baby''s father?" Esther asked inadvertently.


    Lena was indifferent and said, "I don''t know!"


    Esther was stunned and looked at her.


    "He is a stranger. I went to France once and I had drunk too much. Then, I identally had a one-night


    stand with a man. He seemed to be a mixed-race man. Anyway, he is not a pure race foreigner. After


    that, I brought Oscar back!"


    She exined the origin of this child with such an understatement.


    "You didn''t look for the child''s father?"


    "Where should I go to find him?" Lena smiled bitterly. "After I got pregnant, I did go to France, where I


    was supposed to go to find him! Only left a keychain and nothing more. The keychain only had a few


    French words written on it. Who knows!"


    Esther froze. "Oh my God!"


    "It''s nothing! It doesn''t matter, it''s good enough to have Oscar!"


    She was poignant and sympathized with Lena, "Lena, you take care of the baby by yourself.


    Furthermore, you have to go to school, and Oscar is so small. How can you cope with all of these?"


    Lena exined, "Oscar has a cold. That''s why he''s crying all the time. He usually doesn''t cry. It was so


    embarrassing today. The nanny who takes care of my child is also sick but there is no food at home. I


    can’t bring him out. I’m worried he will get a fever again after getting cold. It’s ok for me if I''m hungry,


    but Oscar can''t be hungry. So, I want you to help me buy some groceries!"


    "Ok! I''ll go get it!" Esther was wondering what she wanted her to do all this time! "Let me know what to


    buy!"


    Lena took out the written note and money. then passed it to Esther. "Buy what’s in this list!"


    Esther looked at the money she gave and took it. The money wasn’t much. Esther also didn''t ask her.


    Thinking that since she lived in such a simple house, Lena maybe had no much money.


    Lena said with a little embarrassment, "Just buy these first. Next week I can get my pay from my part-


    time job. Then, I’ll buy some more!"


    "Okay!" Esther took the note and money without asking any question, then left the house.


    When she reached the supermarket, she realized that the prices of those things had increased.


    Besides, the money Lena gave could not buy that much either. Esther thought of Lena, a single mother,


    and she felt a sourness in her heart. Why was it always women who got hurt?


    Then, she used Elijah''s card to buy a lot of household items and asked the supermarket''s distribution


    van to send them back! She directly asked for door-to-door service.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Until her house was filled with the items by the workers, Lena still hadn''te back to her sense! After


    the workers left, Esther was ying cheerfully with Oscar. Lena looked at Esther, "Esther, how much is


    it? I will pay you back!"


    "No need!" Esther waved her hand in a careless way. "We are friends, don’t talk about money. Besides,


    it''s Elijah''s credit card. I used his card. I don''t know the price!"


    "Esther!" Lena said solemnly, "I''m not a beggar!"


    "Lena?" Esther raised her head and saw a look of destion in her eyes. She was flustered. "Lena, I


    don''t mean that, don''t be sad!"


    "I’ll pay you back!" Lena didn''t want to owe anyone.


    "Lena, just for this time. I promise I will not do that in the future, okay?"


    Lena still insisted. "I’ll pay you back!"


    Esther''s heart ached. She understood why Lena was so determined, as she had once been through


    the same thing when she rejected Hudson''s help. "Lena, you can owe me the money first. It’s not


    urgent, but I will not reject it. When you can make more money, you can pay me along with the interest.


    If you really do feel bad, you can repay me when one day I''m living in poverty so that I won''t starve to


    death!"


    Lena nodded, "You''re truly a kind person. You help and don’t want to embarrass me! You won''t be poor.


    You still have Hudson!"


    "That depends on him! I would do this to nobody else. Your baby is too handsome, I like him! I want to


    marry him! Let''s not mention money!"
