Win Her Back

Chapter 770 Confirmation

Edmund stood in front of the courtyard with his crutch. Time had taken away his youth, leaving his gray temples and old wrinkles. However, his arrogant aura did not fade away, but became deeper and deeper in the process of growth.

His eyes were deep, and underneath his calm appearance was a spirit of exhaustion. Not so bad! She was finally back.

Hester stood still and looked into Edmund's eyes, with faint sparks. She nodded slightly in return. "Grandpa!"

Although she had been late for more than 20 years, he had brought her back to the feeling of being loved and cared by the elders. And she also experienced the feeling of family affection again.

Hearing Hester call him grandfather, a smile finally appeared on Edmund's cold face. "You are back!"

Looking at the indifference between her eyebrows, he knew that she had thought it through. Since she came back voluntarily, she had admitted from the bottom of her heart that this was her home.

Edmund felt guilty to his favorite little daughter, so he had to try his best to protect her only blood. Even if he would risk his life or the company established by the Liu family for hundreds of years to protect her, he would do it at all costs.

"I'm back." Hester didn't know why she said this, but she felt that she should say something to express her position.

"Your cousin is in his room!" Edmund narrowed his eyes and smiled. He looked at the child thoughtfully, but did not continue to ask.

Hester exerted force to Thomas' hand, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know how to explain the origin of Thomas, nor did she figure out why she brought him here.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She hadn't fully knew this matter well, so how should she explain it?

Edmund glanced at Thomas and left with Hardy without asking. Everyone in the mansion chose to be silent.

Looking at their receding figures, Hester's eyes were slightly moist. She took a deep breath and led Thomas all the way to a small courtyard.

The style of the Liu family was traditional, which naturally reserved the courtyard left behind by the old man. All the masters were living in their own courtyards, which was a tradition and also a symbol of status.

Standing outside the door, Hester calmed down. She raised her hand and gently knocked at the door. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Thomas, wait outside, okay?"

A hint of doubt and fear flashed through Thomas' eyes, but he still nodded obediently. "Okay!"

In this strange place, he felt very uneasy and hesitant. However, this was absolutely not the reason to be against his mother's words.

Hester raised her hand and gently patted Thomas' shoulder to calm him down. The door was also opened from inside out. Leo was pale and haggard.

"Hester, you're back!" Looking at the person at the door, Leo widened his eyes in a hurry to make sure if he had a visual hallucination.

"Leo!" Hester said calmly. "Let's go inside and have a talk!"

Leo raised his eyebrows, saw the child beside her and realized something. He moved his feet and moved aside to let Hester in.

At the moment of closing the door, his eyes fell deeply on Thomas, and he was a little worried.

"He is the child of me and Terence. Brother Austin lied to me!" Hester sat down and came straight to the point. She didn't have much time. Terence would soon find Thomas missing and investigate her.

"Oh!" Leo was in a daze. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward. So he answered subconsciously, but he regretted in an instant.

How could he be so unresponsive?!

Tapping her fingertips gently on the chair, Hester's eyes flashed with a trace of light, sharp but gentle. "It seems that you have known it a long time ago."

With a helpless sigh, Leo sat down beside Hester and lowered his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm really doing it for your own good!"

"I understand!" Although everyone chose to hide it, Hester was not a child anymore. She didn't have so many willful thoughts, nor would she do whatever she wanted.

"I didn't know about Austin's original plan until you were seriously ill. I thought that it was not easy for you to get rid of the shadow of Terence. As long as I cured you, you would be able to start a new life.

Therefore, I choose to join hands with Austin to keep it a secret. When I advised you to come back, I was very afraid that something bad would happen and you couldn't bear it. But the matter is here. If you don't solve it, it will be a hidden trouble forever, so I choose to take a risk!"

Leo calmly stated. From the corner of his eyes, he had been staring at Hester. As long as her mood fluctuated, he would immediately stop.

However, as his last word came out, her face was still indifferent, without any change, which made him more and more frightened.

He had never expected this to happen. She was really too calm, which was very weird.

Hester narrowed her eyes. Hearing Leo's words, she was unable to describe her feelings. However, she was sure that she was not angry at all.

She was really angry when she knew it yesterday. But now she was very calm, facing the truth, and found that it was just so-so.

She clenched her fists and glanced at the door. There was another person standing outside, so she didn't have much time. "Leo, I want you to help me take a look at Thomas. He seems to have slight autism."

"Autism?" Leo was surprised. He had also secretly paid attention to Thomas, but he had never found that he had this disease. Moreover, Terence had never spread it to the public, or even took him to see a doctor.

"Yes!" Hester nodded firmly. Terence had personally admitted it, and she was skeptical of it. She had been with Thomas for a period of time and didn't think he had such a disease at all.

"But I don't think he has autism!"

Leo nodded his head. He understood that no mother could accept the fact that her child was ill. "Let me have a look. You can rest assured!"

"Thank you so much!" Hester nodded without saying other words. They were brother and sister. If she was too polite, it would make the two of them a little embarrassed.

She had long regarded him as her family, so she didn't say much, but in the end, she had to express something.

Leo smiled, walked slowly to the door and brought in Thomas. "Don't be afraid. Just do as I said!"

Thomas looked at the man in front of him in confusion, glanced at Hester, and nodded obediently. He lay down on the sofa by the window, with his hands folded in front of him.

"Leo, be careful!"
