"Really?"
Terence looked at Hester coldly, as if he was going to freeze her. The scars on his face were like
carved patterns, adding a bit of sharpness to him.
He didn't know why she was so determined, but he clearly heard that something seemed to be broken
and fell to the ground.
Sometimes, he lost consciousness because of the pain. He thought that his current situation perfectly
explained it!
"Hester, I never knew that you would be so cruel!"
Hester's body staggered in an almost invisible way, and her fingernails pierced into the palm of her
hand. The pain stimulated her to maintain her manner at all times. They had broken up three years
ago. Of course they shouldn't know each other.
'It's not easy for you to get rid of those days. Are you going to be involved again?' she thought in her
heart.
"Mr. Terence, my cousin hit you that day. I apologize for him. Please let it go! Of course, if you have to
make a fuss about it, it's okay! After all, you are the trigger of this matter. I hope you can think it over
before making a plan!"
Hester was not afraid of being sued by him, but she was afraid that he would play tricks behind her
back. Although the Liu family was rich and powerful, Leo's intelligence was really worrying. She
couldn't imagine what would happen.
If he played tricks, how could Leo win? Therefore, in order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, she
had to inform him in advance.
"Huh!" With a sneer, Terence stared at Hester coldly. How could he not understand what she meant?
He knew she was just afraid that he would have a fight with Leo.
"What? Are you afraid that I will get even with your fiance, so you come here to make it clear in
advance?"
The word "fiance" shocked Hester. She raised her hand to touch her hair and sighed silently. She
almost forgot the existence of Derek.
"Ahem! Well, since you mentioned it, I'll also apologize for him. Let's go through this chapter. Don't
make a fuss about it, okay?"
'Derek! You owe me a big favor!' she roared in her heart.
Derek suddenly sneezed, which made the meeting room instantly quiet. With a document in his hand,
an employee, who was speaking, stood still and looked at his boss in fear.
Derek lowered his eyes and rubbed his nose with his slender fingers. A hint of helplessness flashed
through his eyes. If there was anyone else in the world who dared to talk about him behind his back, it
must be nobody but Leo!
His cold eyes swept over the crowd one by one, and his eyebrows raised unhappily. "Go on!"
The simple two words were thrown loudly, and the meeting room returned to normal, mixed with a trace
of strangeness.
In the hospital, Hester and Terence were acting with each other. They were not willing to give in at all.
"Mr. Terence, you are a patient now. You'd better have a good rest. I won't disturb you. Goodbye!"
Hester afraid that if she stayed with him for a long time, she would give herself away, so she made up
an excuse and wanted to escape.
The cold fingertips twined around her wrist, as strong as the impression of its owner.
Hester sighed helplessly. She looked at the hand on her wrist and then at its owner. Her eyebrows
raised, mixed with a hint of hidden anger.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Terence?"
Hearing her gritting her teeth, Terence laughed in anger. He thought he had been used to such a sharp
look. However, when he faced it again, he found that there seemed to be nothing he could get used to!
He rubbed her wrist with his fingertips, feeling her warm touch greedily.
"Do we have to be so incompatible as fire and water?"
Hester stood still, her ears buzzing. Although she tried her best to deny the fact that she still liked him,
she couldn't help trembling when she heard him say this in a low voice.
How could this be? What she had hoped for was now within her reach, but she had already despised it.
"Mr. Terence, I have a fiance now. Please behave yourself!"
Fiance? She actually used Derek to suppress him. It seemed that she could not let go of the past, and
in the end, she hated him completely.
Terence's eyes darkened, so gloomy that no one could see clearly, but they were attractive. He pursed
his cold lips and oozed the innate king's aura.
"Hester, you are the one who has always been ruthless!"
Hester was angry and frowned. The last bit of patience in her heart had been worn out by his pestering.
Why didn't she notice that he was so unreasonable before?
"Mr. Terence, you are badly injured and need more rest. Please go back to the ward as soon as
possible!"
Hester wanted to refute, but was stopped. When she turned around, she saw Austin with a smile on his
face. She couldn't help shivering.
She always felt that when Brother Austin treated Terence, there was an inexplicable hostility, which was
daunting, but she could not find any clue.
"Brother Austin!"
She nodded awkwardly and greeted him softly. Her fingertips were entangled tightly, and she felt
embarrassed. Was this the so-called catching adultery in... In hospital?
"Okay!"
Austin handed the case to the nurse beside him and nodded slightly. His shoes made a slight sound on
the ground, which was even especially clear in the noisy corridor of the hospital.
He was wearing a white coat, which was full of the aura of abstinence, making people bewitched.
"Don't we have an appointment for dinner today? Why are you here now?"
Leo stared straight at Hester, completely ignoring the people behind her.
Speaking of the matter of the emergency room, Hester was very embarrassed. Although she was not
professional, she felt ashamed that she hadn't learned any medical common sense after getting along
with Austin for many years.
"There was a small problem along the way, so I was late."
Austin's eyes passed through Hester and fell directly on Terence behind her. Naturally, he attributed
this small problem to him.
Austin raised his hand and tucked the hair behind her ear dotingly.
"Has everything been settled?"
Staring at Austin in front of her, Hester was lost in thought for a moment. Her ears, which were gently
brushed by him, were a little hot, and there was still a trace of his temperature left. It was itchy, tugging
at her heartstrings.
"Yes!"
Austin nodded with satisfaction. The dark clouds dissipated, and a bright smile appeared on his face
again. "Then let's go to have dinner! What do you want to eat?"
