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!
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.
