Hester opened the window and let the air in. It seemed that it was September. The two maple leaves outside the window had been dyed red by the autumn. The leaves were in the shape of palms, and their blood color was like deeply stung her eyes.
She forced herself not to think too much. That was the way Terence spoke. She was too greedy and wanted more from him, which made her feel uncomfortable.
After drinking a glass of warm water to calm herself down, she sat on the couch next to the window and picked up a Book of RobertC.·Merton. it was a book she asked Austin to bring to her, which taught her some finance theory.
It may seem a little difficult for her, but she must do it as soon as possible. A woman who could only cook and wash clothes does not deserve Terence.
She worked as a nanny instead of a wife who shared the same hardships with Terence. But he didn't lack a nanny. In his house, there were maids in groups at home, so she was not qualified to be his housekeeper either.
She knew that there had been a lot of trouble with the business of the company recently, but she knew nothing about it and could not help at all. Being such a worthless woman, she would even feel bad about herself.
There were two gentle knocks on the door.
"Come in." She hurriedly put the book under the sofa. She was afraid that Terence would come back and jeer at her when he saw that she was reading a financial book.
But what she didn't expect was that it was Mike. He was wearing a clean white shirt with crystal-like eyes covered with dust, as if a haze had just come over.
"Mike!" Hester was stunned. She had quarreled with Terence
because of Mike a moment ago, but why he came here now?
"Hester, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, Mike." Hester stood up, poured him a glass of water, and asked him to sit down.
"Hester, this time, I'm coming to say goodbye," With a glass of water in his hand, Mike sat in front of her and bowed his head silently.
"What? Do you have to go? Where are you going? " Is he released by Terence ag
be silly, Hester. Come with me, It's the only way you can protect your child," said Mike, looking at her with grief
"Go?" Hester had never thought of leaving. She asked, "Where are we going?"
"I will take you to a safe place. Hester, please trust me." He held up her face, which was becoming thinner and thinner day by day, and his eyes were burning with passion.
"No, I don't believe. I want to ask Terence myself."
"You can't ask this, Hester. Once you ask him, you can't go anymore. He can even put his father under house arrest, let alone you."
A sense of helplessness overwhelmed her. Fear spread over her. She was more afraid than ever, because it was related to her child. The child that she longed for was the only person she could rely on.
She almost had nothing, except her children.
This baby was her whole world and all her hopes.
She was an anthomaniac, with her mind blank, unable to hear anything. She was taken out of the door subconsciously as soon as she got the order from the hypnotist.
Austin had just finished an operation. He changed his clothes and was walking towards Hester's ward.
"Hester, why are you here?" Seeing Mike and Hester, Austin walked up quickly.
"I'm a friend of Hester, and I took her out to bask in the sun. Staying in the ward all day long almost made her bored," Mike smiled innocently and shook hands with Austin warmly.
