A cold light flashed in his eyes. Austin clenched his fist, and the blue veins bulged on his arm. Looking at Jackson with an uncomfortable look on his face, his black eyes sent shivers down the back.
This was the pain that he could never mention. Although Austin could protect Hester aboveboard, he could only protect her as her brother.
"Jackson, don't provoke me with words! Even if I am her brother, so what? I believe you have clearly realized how important I am to her!
If I don't agree with your marriage, what do you think she should do?"
There was no change on the surface of Jackson's enchanting and soft face. He put his hands in his pockets leisurely and smiled back at Austin.
"I believe that things have to be done by people. So, Dr. Austin, you'd better not judge everything so thoroughly."
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
"I'm so sorry! A meeting is waiting for me. I have to go now. We can discuss it later!" said Jackson.
With both hands in his pockets, Austin watched Jackson get on the car elegantly. He just smiled and didn't show anything unusual. His forehead was throbbing, and he couldn't help but reveal his emotions.
Austin took a deep breath and his depression could not chase away. Jackson was really dangerous. All the things he had done were so dreadful.
It would be fine if Jackson was innocent, but Jackson was on the opposite side with him. What should he do?
His thoughts were interrupted by the ring of his phone. He glanced at the caller ID, and the chill in his eyes instantly melted.
"What's wrong?"
Hester's heart was relieved at the sound. She patted her chest to calm herself down.
She had worried that he would get angry when she saw Austin's gloomy face just now. Now, it was a good time to get relaxed!
"Brother Austin, have you arrived at the hospital?"
Austin raised his head and looked at the sea. The cool and slightly smelly sea breeze blew on his face.
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
g. Hester was standing at the door, with a look of surprise turning into a smile.
"Brother Austin, Mr. Jackson!"
"Yes!" Although Austin's face didn't look good, she didn't know what to say. He still looked gentle, but there was always a sense of alienation.
"Let's have breakfast first!"
"Okay!" Hester replied habitually. She moved her feet and wanted to go with Austin. However, this time, she failed. Her wrist was gripped and she was stopped.
"Hester, I have asked someone to cook some tonic soup for you. Drink it first!"
Jackson smiled, showing his white teeth. Even though he carried a shabby meal box in his hand, his temperament was not affected at all.
The smile was a bit stiff, and the corner of Hester's mouth twitched. She tried her best to maintain the smile. Calm down! Hester!
She whispered to herself in her heart, trying to keep the perfect posture. They were all trying to help her. She shouldn't make others embarrassed!
"Okay!"
As a result, Hester had eaten too much that morning, so she have to go downstairs and walk for an hour before she finally got used to it.
But on the third day when the doorbell rang, she still maintained a gentle smile. Except for the twitching corners of her mouth, everything was perfect.
"Let's have breakfast first!"
