Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Not necessary, she…” Terence was just about to say that Esther was resting. Then Esther, who had already figured out what was going on, hurriedly said, “Terence, let me talk to Mom.”

Terence glanced at her and then handed her the phone.

Esther took Terence’s phone and explained while walking to the door of the ward, “Mom, I’m sorry. My phone fell into the water. I stayed in the hospital today and didn’t have time to make up for it, so…”

“It doesn’t matter.” Gill interrupted her. “Let’s come to the point.”

“Mom, please speak.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“How is Terence now?”

“Mom, don’t worry.” Esther smiled. “Terence is good. You should have found it earlier.”

“I heard he bit you?”

“Yes, but it’s not serious.”

“That’s fine.” Then Gill became a little more serious. “I heard that Terence did not accept blood transfusion? Is that true?”

Esther was startled. She wondered whether Lady Gibson was blaming her for not giving Terence blood?

“Terence insisted on not accepting my blood, so…”

“It’s your responsibility to make Terence accept blood transfusion if he wasn’t.” Gill was unhappy, and her tone was much colder. “Esther, you are Terence’s wife. You have a shared future. Do you understand?”

Although what Gill said was harsh, Esther still endured it. She thought that Gill had just cared about Terence, so she should understand her.

“Mom, I understand. I just can’t persuade Terence to accept my blood.” Esther almost in a choked voice.

At this time, Esther suddenly remembered that before she married into the Gibson family, her mother had grabbed her hand and cried to remind her that the Gibson family married her just for her blood, sooner or later they would dry her blood.

Thinking about it, Esther felt sad. In this world, only her own mother would really care about her.

As if sensing the little emotions Esther had suppressed in her heart, Gill sighed faintly and changed her words. “Esther, don’t blame me for being selfish. After all, Terence’s condition is special. I was worried about his health, so I spoke so bluntly to you.”

“Mom, I don’t blame you.” Esther hesitated for a moment before asking, “But, Mom. Since you care so much about Terence’s health, why don’t you persuade Dad to let him go back to City R? After all, City R’s medical standard is much better than here.”

Esther believed that there must be a reason why Master Gibson sent Terence to Proley and refused to let him go back. She could tell from Ross’s hesitation.

Perhaps the wedding thing was just an excuse. There must be other reasons.

“Do you think I didn’t do this? I tried many times, but Clark insists on not letting Terence come back. What can I do?” Gill’s tone sounded somewhat displeased.

“Why?”

After a pause, Gill finally couldn’t help but say angrily, “Why? It’s all your fault.”

Esther wondered whether it was for the wedding dress.

Just as she was puzzled, Gill spoke again, “If you didn’t take back the land of the Fairy Mountain from Mr. Russell, Clark wouldn’t doubt Terence’s identity and send him to Proley.”

Esther was surprised by what Gill said. “Mom, what did you say? Terence was sent to Proley because of the land on the Fairy Mountain, not the wedding dress?”

“The wedding dress is just an excuse to fool others.” Gill almost gnashed.

“What’s going on?” Esther had just asked this question when the phone was forcefully taken away.

She was stunned. Then she turned around and found that Terence had appeared behind her at some point in time, holding the phone.

“Terence.” She opened her mouth and called.

Terence’s face didn’t look too good. He glanced at her and turned around. While walking into the ward, he said to Gill, “Mom, I will handle this matter myself. Esther is just an unrelated outsider. There is no need to tell her everything.”

An unrelated outsider. Esther, who was behind Terence, paused in her steps and felt kind of sad.

She did not expect that she was just an outsider in Terence’s heart. She thought they were a couple for a lifetime.

After Terence said that, he hung up the phone.

Esther, who was hurt by him, leaned against the wall of the corridor. After a long while, she moved slightly and walked into the ward.

When she went in, Terence was standing in front of the window with his back to her, looking at the scenery outside. It was unknown what he was thinking, but it could be seen from his stiff body that he was also in a bad mood.

Esther took a few steps forward. Standing behind him, she asked in a hoarse voice, “In your heart, am I just an outsider who is not related to you?”

Terence didn’t answer her, not even turning his head back.

Esther felt even sadder.

Esther said, “Terence, can you please stay away from me when you say such words in the future? At least don’t let me hear it, because it really hurts.”

It was really hurtful.

Esther was still staring at Terence’s back as if waiting for him to speak, but he still did not look back and explain. Esther did not know what he was thinking.

Just as she turned around in disappointment and was about to leave, her arm was suddenly grabbed by something, and then her body spun and crashed into a sturdy chest.

Esther was stunned. Only then did she realize that she was being hugged by Terence.

She was kind of surprised.

Her heart throbbed and her body froze at the same time.

It was probably because this hug came too suddenly, Esther felt that it was unrealistic. That was why she was so silly and motionless, allowing him to hug her.

Moments later, she heard a sigh. “You just said we are a couple for a lifetime this morning. How can you be unrelated to me? I have my reasons and goals to say that. Don’t mind.”

Esther thought, ‘Is this an explanation? ‘
