Lisa, who was standing outside the door, watched Melody leave in tears, lost in thought. She raised her
hand and tried to persuade her to stay, but she lost the opportunity.
She sighed and walked to Terence with a frown.
"Sir, Miss Melody just left. Is there anything wrong?"
"No!"
Terence rubbed the spot between his eyebrows tiredly and said with certainty. Although Melody was
stubborn, she never joked about her health.
How could she risk her own body so easily?
Looking at Terence, Lisa wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. After hesitating for
a while, she felt it necessary to tell him her worries.
"Sir, I'm not worried that Miss Melody will do something bad to herself, but that she will impulsively hurt
the young master!
At that time, Miss Melody has done such a thing to her own son. I'm really scared!"
Terence's hand froze in the air. Reminded by Lisa, he was a little scared. Just now, he just wanted to
completely break up with her, so he spoke without hesitation.
"I don't think so."
"Sir, I have been working in the Qi family for so many years, and some people and things can be seen
through at a glance. Miss Melody seems to be weak on the surface, as if she has no destructive power.
But what she does every time makes me tremble with fear. I have to worry about her!"
After Lisa's warning, the indifferent attitude of Terence changed a little. Not to mention that Lisa couldn't
see through her, even though he had been with her for many years, he was confused.
He tapped on the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips and thought of the past. If it weren't for
Thomas, he wouldn't have been able to hold on when the news of Hester's death came three years
ago!
"Lisa, you must pay more attention to Thomas' safety in the future. Don't let anything happen to him!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Lisa nodded to Terence. She looked up at the room upstairs and sighed.
The commotion just now quickly subsided in the Qi family. Everyone was doing their own things in an
orderly manner without interfering with each other.
After placing the dishes on the table, Lisa turned around and went upstairs. Standing at the door of
Thomas' room, she gently knocked at the door, but did not hear his voice as usual. She frowned and
pushed the door in.
Looking at the empty room, her heart sank all of a sudden. Melody's crazy face came to her mind. She
was worried about the safety of the young master.
She rushed to Terence's study and slammed the door with anxiety.
"Sir, the young master is gone."
Terence's hand froze when he was typing. He rushed to the door and looked at Lisa with a malicious
expression. His heart rose in an instant.
"What did you say?"
Lisa frowned in anxiety. She rubbed her hands and didn't know what to do!
"I went to ask the young master to have dinner just now. When I opened the door, I didn't see him."
"What do you mean by not seeing Thomas?"
Terence's ears were buzzing and his brain was dizzy. He was very scared. He couldn't imagine what
Thomas was going through, and he was more afraid of what Melody would do to him.
The scars on the child's body, including needle holes and bruises, lingered in his mind all the time. The
shocking appearance made him very scared.
"Send someone out to look for him. Hurry up!"
He shouted angrily and ordered everyone to go out to look for someone. Even if he was really taken
away by Melody, at least he could suffer less.
At the same time, Hester heard someone knocking at the door. She put down the duster cloth and
opened the door in confusion. She saw Thomas standing at the door with tears in her eyes.
"Thomas, why are you here? What happened? Why are you crying?"
Hester's heart trembled. She squatted down and carried Thomas into the room. She found a towel and
wiped his crying face clean. She wondered why no one followed him when he went out.
Looking at Hester's face, Thomas felt sad and thought of what Melody said. He held her sleeve tightly
and refused to let go.
"Auntie April, can you tell me that people can have two mothers?"
Hester raised her eyebrows in confusion. She lowered her head and wiped his face. For a moment, she
was speechless. After thinking for a long time, she still did not understand why he asked such a
question.
"A beautiful auntie came to our house just now. She said I should call her mom!"
With a crisp voice, Thomas frowned like a steamed bun. He had his own mother. Why did he call
another woman mother?
"Auntie April, why did that person say that?
You are my mother! Why do I have to call that woman mother?"
Hester raised her eyebrows in embarrassment and avoided his bright eyes. She was thinking about
how to express herself so that he wouldn't be sad. She thought that person was no more than another
woman who was bold and went straight to his house in order to get some benefits.
But on second thought, apart from the identity of the leader of the Qi family, other conditions of Terence
were indeed very attractive. His outstanding appearance and tall figure were all particularly pleasing to
the eye.
"Well, Thomas, don't cry! Of course, people only have one mother. But Thomas was lucky enough to
have two mothers to love him!
You can't just look at the surface. From another aspect, you will find the happiness, right?"
Thomas nodded, looking at Hester's eyes with a hint of unwillingness. There was only one Thomas in
the world. If he had two mothers, wouldn't he be able to accompany his mother all the time?
Seeing that Thomas stopped crying, Hester didn't think too much and naturally wouldn't know what he
was thinking. She turned around and walked into the bathroom. She soaked the towel and wiped his
face again.
"By the way, Thomas, did you tell your family before you came here?"
Frowning, Thomas looked around to avoid eye contact. When he heard that woman's words, he had
been eager to find his mother, so he had no time to tell Lisa where he was.
"No!"
After thinking for a while, he still felt that he couldn't lie to his mother, so he told the truth obediently.
"What?"
Hester was shocked. She quickly took out her phone, opened the phone book and called Terence. It
was time for dinner. If Lisa couldn't find him, the Qi family would be in trouble.
"Mr. Terence, Thomas is with me!"
