Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Chapter 192 Paternity Test



“Do you mean… he still treats James and others as his family?”

“That’s right.”

In fact, it was not surprising that Terence would feel this kind of affection. After all, for now, although James was a little spoiled and a little selfish, his ambition was not big enough to want to embezzle the Gibson Group and kill Terence.

However, people would change. In the future, when it comes to benefits, maybe James would change, and so would Terence…

She took a deep breath and said gratefully to Ross, “Thank you, Dr. Ross, for telling me the truth.”

“You are welcome. I’ll just wait for Terence to teach me a lesson,” Ross said with a sad face.

“Don’t worry, I won’t betray you.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ross shook his head and said in a serious tone, “By the way, try to persuade that stubborn man. A paternity test is no big deal. Maybe he can use the paternity test result to embarrass Master Gibson. Wouldn’t it be better?”

Esther was speechless. “The old man is his biological father.”

“I was just joking.” Ross smiled and stood up from his chair. “Alright, I really have to go now. Otherwise, I will be in trouble if Terence comes to look for me.”

“Okay, thank you, Dr. Ross.” Esther stood up from her chair.

After saying goodbye to Ross, Esther walked towards the hospital on the opposite side as she recalled what Ross had said to her just now.

She never thought that Clark would drive Terence out of the headquarters simply because of the land of the Fairy Mountain. No wonder Gill wanted to blame her.

If she hadn’t given the Landscape Painting to Russell back then and hadn’t worked so hard to help Terence get the land back, or if he had tried to stop Terence from attending the baby’s party of the Anetly family, maybe these things wouldn’t happen today.

Terence would not be suspected of having impure blood, nor would he be sent to Proley, nor would he experience the pain from which he almost died.

Sure enough… No matter if it was because of the wedding dress or the Fairy Mountain, she was the culprit!

Because she was too engrossed in thinking things, Esther did not even realize that she had returned to the ward where Terence was.

She took a deep breath behind the door, adjusted the expression on her face, and tried to calm down. Then she raised her hand and knocked on the door before pushing the door open and entering.

Lila had already gone. Only Terence was in the bedroom, who was leaning against the bed, changing channels on the small TV on the wall.

Seeing Esther return, Terence calmly said, “You are back.”

“Yes.” Esther glanced at the ward casually. “Did Miss Lila leave?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.” Esther walked over to him.

“Why did you go for so long? If you didn’t come back, I would have to go out and look for you again…” Terence felt his body sink into the bed, and a soft body hugged him in his arms.

It was Esther who took the initiative to hug him. Her movement was so fast that he didn’t realize what happened, and at the same time, she stopped what he had to say.

Her hands circled his waist and hugged him tightly. Her little face was pressed against his chest and she just leaned against his chest motionlessly. She once again recalled what Ross had said to her.

She had to admit that she was moved. Therefore, she wanted to hug him tightly, even if she didn’t say anything.

Terence was slightly startled by her sudden action. He couldn’t move his body. After a moment, he asked suspiciously, “What’s the matter? What happened when you were outside?”

He wondered if Esther became envious because of Lila.

Esther still did not let him go, and her vague voice came out from his arms, “I’m checking if you have the perfume of Miss Lila on your body.”

Terence sneered. He wondered if it was really because of that woman.

“I asked you to stay as a witness. It was you who insisted on going out,” he said innocently.

“That’s right, I was the one who decided to go out. Tell me honestly, did you hug her?”

“No.”

“Really?”

“I don’t need to lie to you.”

Yes, he didn’t need to lie to her at all. He had already told her. When he wanted to sleep with a woman, he didn’t need to tell Esther.

Although this sounded sad, it was true for young men from rich families.

Of course, she was not in the mood to think about what he had just said to Lila and whether he had hugged her or not. Her heart had been filled with the matter of him being chased out of the headquarters.

“Terence, I’m really sorry…” She unconsciously spat out a sentence.

Hearing her inexplicable apology, Terence lowered his head to look at her, puzzled. “Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?”

“I seem to be making trouble for you, time and time again…”

“What do you mean?”

“Back then…” Esther hesitated for a moment before finally raising her little face and staring at him. “If I hadn’t spent so much effort to help you take that land on the Fairy Mountain, you wouldn’t have been sent to Proley by Master Gibson. It’s all my fault.”

Terence was slightly surprised, and then his handsome became a little gloomy. He calmly said, “Have you already known everything?”

“Yes, I have.” Esther added, “Sorry, I think I should know, so…” She had asked Ross to find out the truth.

In fact, Terence also knew that he couldn’t hide it from her for long. Even if Ross didn’t say it, Gill would still say it. So, he didn’t ask how she knew it. After a moment of silence, he still said indifferently, “Since you said that it was to help me take the land of Fairy Mountain, I can’t blame you. Even without your help, I will definitely find a way to take the land. So, you don’t have to feel guilty.”

“Then … what are you going to do next?” Esther asked.

Would he still quarrel with Clark and refuse to go back to headquarters?

Terence was silent and did not answer her question, probably because he had not thought of what to do.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Esther sat up straight and stared at him seriously. “What will you do if Master Gibson insists on you doing a paternity test?”

Terence looked down at her and asked, “What would you do?”

“Me…?” Esther thought about it and said carefully, “If I said that I might accept the test to prove my mother’s innocence, would you believe me?”

“Esther, are you sent by them to persuade me?”

“Not entirely, this is also my idea.”

“You want me to accept the paternity test and then return to City R and go back to the Gibson Group?” Terence narrowed his eyes with coldness.
