Chapter 289 Daddy Will Take You There As
Wendy stood there for a few seconds, she realized there was no way to turn this around. Hence, she finally bowed and left.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence stayed with Estie for a while longer.
However, no matter how they coaxed her, Estie lost all interest in them. She just simply nodded or shook her head when answering their questions. Melody tried putting a pen and paper in front of her, but the little girl refused to write a single word.
Seeing this, Melody’s eyes were full of distress. She knew that the girl was traumatized by what had happened yesterday. What was the point of feeling distressed now? She could only try to spend more time with Estie.
At dusk, Melody reluctantly got up and said to Byron, “Estie is still like this. How about I take her home and take care of her for a while? You’re busy with work. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take care of her.”
Byron flatly refused. “No need. She’ll stay with me.”
After what had happened yesterday, he would feel relieved only by keeping Estie by his side.
Melody knew there was no way to get Byron to change his mind. She gently bade goodbye to Estie and left with Mr. Lawrence.
After his parents left, Byron saw that the time was getting late. He changed the dressing for the little one’s wound and let her go up to rest. Estie just stared at her bandage dressing and did not react at all. He was not sure what she was thinking.
Byron frowned. “Does it hurt now?”
The little girl raised her eyes and shook her head slightly.
“What’s the matter? Can you tell Daddy?” Byron asked patiently. Estie pursed her lips, pointed to the medicine on the table, took the initiative to pick up the pen and paper, and wrote one word on the paper – ‘Aunt’.
