Chapter 1269 "Alright, I'll leave then." Finnegan turned and walked away quickly. Esther tried to follow him, but he was walking so fast it seemed like he wanted to escape from her. Eventually, she couldn't see him anymore.
"What's wrong? Are you sad to see him go?" Luther teased.
Esther turned to face him, feeling unexpectedly annoyed. "It's none of our business.' "Hey, you're upset, huh?" Annoyed, Esther responded, "What does it matter to you?" Luther looked confused and spread his hands. "You said you like my brother. But why do you care so much about another guy?" Esther didn't know what to say. "No, I don't. But he's my friend." Luther laughed. "Friend? That's nice, being friends with a guy who likes you." "No, I'm not!" Esther's voice grew quieter. "I only found out about his feelings today." Seeing her upset face, Luther eased up. "Okay, I'm just kidding. Don't be such a crybaby." Esther wiped her tears. She didn't want to talk to him anymore, and she thought she should say sorry to Finnegan.
"I'll leave now if that's all." But Luther blocked her way. "Why are you leaving? Don't you want to go back hand see James?" Esther sniffled. "Isn't it forbidden? There's an epidemic in Enswood now. It must be dangerous. And I can't go back either." Luther smirked. "There's nowhere I can't go if I really want to." "So, you mean you want to takethere?" Luther admitted without any hesitation, "Yes, I do. I don't want to see you and my brother separated. But it's your choice. I won't force you. By the way, I'm leaving this afternoon."
Esther felt torn. If she went back with Luther, Finnegan would be even more upset. But if she didn't go now, she might never have another chance.
Luther saw her hesitating and added quietly, "I forgot to tell you. My m brother is very sick. He could die any tnow." Hearing this, Esther quickly made up her mind. "Okay, I'll go back with you." Luther was surprised. "Wow, that's fast."
"Cut the crap," Esther snapped, though she still felt mixed emotions. She decided she would deal with Finnegan's issue when she was back home. X
