Win Her Back

Chapter 767 My Child

Looking at Hester's back for a long time, Terence sighed and turned away. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking and how important Austin was in her heart.

Besides, their relationship was already very bad, and he didn't want to make it worse because of these meaningless quarrels.

He closed his eyes and sighed slightly. Then he turned around and left, with his hands trembling slightly in the air.

Hester stood still, stiff, but unwilling to move a little. Blood had been oozed out by her fingernails and scabs had been formed on her palm.

An hour later, Leo found Hester. From afar, he could see Hester standing there motionless like a tree.

Fearing that Terence would say something harsh to irritate Hester, he rushed forward to examine her. "Hester, are you okay?"

"What?" Hester came to her senses and saw Leo standing in front of her with a worried face. She couldn't hear what he was asking.

"Hester, are you out of your mind because of Terence?" Leo raised his hand to touch Hester's head and asked softly.

As a psychologist, he was very sensitive about this. Moreover, Terence was her lifeline, so she might be provoked! Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Hester came to herself and found Leo's expression funny. She slapped his hand away and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Leo, I have to go out today!"

"Get out?" Leo raised his eyebrows, as if something terrible had happened. "No way! You don't look good today. You can't go out!"

If she went out like this, Grandpa might punish him! For the sake of his own life, he still didn't dare to commit a crime.

"Leo!" Hester looked at Leo seriously and had no patience to waste words with him. She held his hands tightly and begged. "Leo, listen to me! I have to go out today. I have something to talk to Brother Austin!"

Leo frowned and looked embarrassed. "Hester, please don't make things difficult for me, okay? Look at yourself. How can I let you out like this?"

Hester gripped Leo's collar tightly, and the tears that had been suppressed for a long time finally fell. She raised her head and looked at Leo's blurry face. There was always a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Leo, listen to me. This matter is very important to me, really very important. Can you take me to Brother Austin?"

Looking at Hester's expression, Leo was a little worried. But he couldn't change Hester's mind. At last, he took her directly to Austin's house.

Along the way, Hester was very excited, but strangely, she looked a little calm after the car stopped.

"Hester, are you okay?" Leo was shocked. He waved his hand in front of her for two times and felt that something was wrong.

"Thank you, Leo!" Hester's glassy eyes gradually came back to earth, with a slight smile at the corners of her mouth. "Leo, wait for me here. I'll be back soon!"

Along the way, she wondered whether what Terence said was credible. She also despised herself for coming to ask for an explanation just because of the words of others.

This made her very embarrassed. Brother Austin had been living with her for many years, but they were still unable to withstand a few words of doubt.

Standing at the door, Hester's hand froze in midair, not knowing how to face the person behind the door.

All of a sudden, the door was opened from the inside, revealing Austin's tired face. But he still look gentle.

"Why didn't you knock on the door? Come on in!" Austin leaned against the door and held her into the room with a doting smile.

When he touched the back of her cold hand, he raised his eyebrows and wrapped her up.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything important?" Austin nodded and warmed her hands, but he was already worried about her.

Just now, Leo called him and said that she was in a bad mood. But now that she saw him, why didn't she say anything?

"Brother Austin, I..." Hester's mouth twitched, but she couldn't say that. If she asked, it meant that she subconsciously believed in Terence instead of Austin.

She was caught in a dilemma.

"What did Terence say?" Austin sighed slightly. In the end, he didn't have the heart to make things difficult for her. So he broke the stalemate first. He carefully wiped the blood on her palm with his fingertips, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Well, he would should be responsible for what he had said. It was a good idea to let him speak now.

"I did hide a lot from you three years ago. I know how much you want to keep your child, so I tried my best to keep it.

I can do nothing but watch you suffer so much for Terence. Do you know how painful it is?

So I made a selfish decision to take you abroad, leave this place, and leave the man who hurt you deeply. Even if one day you know the truth, I won't regret it!"

Austin said calmly. He didn't know what kind of emotion he was in his heart. He had been worried day and night, but now he felt calm, which surprised him.

Hester lowered her eyes and watched the blood in her palm dissipate with his movements. The warm liquid dripped on her palm and burned her hand, but she couldn't bear to draw it away.

Therefore, when she saw Thomas, she felt inexplicably familiar. Was it because of the blood relationship? Every time she saw his figure, her heart would always be affected inadvertently. Now she had a reasonable explanation.

"Brother Austin, you mean... Thomas, is he my child?"

Hester asked in a hoarse voice, and her eyes flickered as she looked at Austin.

"Thomas is your child!" Austin stared at her eyes and said word by word.

Hester just sat calmly on the sofa and shed tears instead of being in the midst of collapse.

That explained why Melody's abnormal child had such a good cure without any impact. It was actually her own child.

"Thank you!"
