Hester had never known that a person would be gentle like this when he smiled. But did it mean everything would be fine since Brother Austin smiled?
"Okay!"
Hester lowered her head, not knowing what she was feeling guilty about.
Austin nodded slightly, not noticing Hester's thoughts at all. He took her by the hand and left without hesitation.
Terence narrowed his eyes slightly. A breeze blew in front of him, with a little coldness, penetrated into his bone and eroded his warmth.
"Austin, don't be too proud!"
Terence muttered with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't tell who he was talking to.
With her hand held, Hester's heart finally returned to its original position. In front of her was the clean back of Austin, without any other colors. The black and white were clear, and it made her feel at ease.
"Brother Austin, I heard from the dean that many doctors in the hospital have been beaten recently. Have you ever encountered such a thing?"
Austin stopped and his messy thoughts vanished. He looked at Hester with a bitter smile and laughed out loud.
He had thought that she could sense his emotional fluctuation from his subtle expression, so she would say a few soft words to him. At least, if she acted coquettishly, his restless heart would be able to return to its original place.
However, the two of them were seemingly in harmony but actually at variance, which made him at a loss. He couldn't be angry with her, let alone expose his heart.
Their relationship stuck here, which was embarrassing.
"What's wrong?" Unable to get an answer for a long time, Hester turned her head and looked at Austin, trying to find an answer.
"Nothing." Austin came to his senses and smiled bitterly. "It's just that I suddenly have some feelings when you mention that the doctor in the hospital was beaten."
"Brother Austin, did you get beaten too?" Hester's pupils dilated. She anxiously dragged Austin toward her, checking up and down, trying to find the position of his injury.
"Are you okay? Is it serious? Does it still hurt? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Austin sighed helplessly, allowing Hester to circle around. He enjoyed being worried by her, but at the same time, he was a little frustrated. Although he was not the best doctor, how could he be beaten because of his professional skills?
"The doctors who were beaten are all in the emergency room. Doctors like us, who are experts, can stay away from the mess."
Thinking of the registered crowd, Hester believed him. This kind of thing was not funny. It should not be joking!
"Brother Austin, are you sure you were not beaten?"
"Yes!" Austin nodded firmly and answered her question patiently.
"But the dean said the situation was very serious! Every department has been involved in this matter, and they even complained about the misfortune of being a doctor!"
Hester continued to ask. As a lawyer, she had to know everything!
Brother Austin was the most important person to her. If he was beaten, she would find the one to beat him back 'Incorrect! Why would I want to hit someone for no reason?' she thought.
Austin sighed helplessly. Was it because that she had found her family, so she was childish sometimes?
