Austin would never forget that he trembled when he heard the sentence. Even though her voice was as light as a feather, it rubbed across his heart, causing an indescribable throb.
It was also because of her words that he became more determined. He desperately hid the truth and took her away from that painful place.
He had thought that she would cheer up after leaving there. Everything in the house abroad was arranged according to her preferences, warm and comfortable.
However, things went in an unreasonable direction and never came back, which made him lose his previous confidence.
"Hester, would you like to eat something? You haven't eaten for a long time! You should take care of your own body."
Austin put the dishes on the table and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at Hester with a painful expression and felt very regretful. He didn't want to see her like this.
Her eyelashes quivered slightly and she opened her eyes slowly. Hester looked at Austin with a weak smile. Her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were covered with thick dark circles. She couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and her spirit was destroyed severely.
Her fingertips moved slowly and fell randomly.
"I have no appetite!"
Hester had refused him for more than ten thousand times with these simple words. She seemed to be choked with blood in her chest, preventing her from eating. It tortured her so hard that she couldn't fall asleep every night.
She had also tried to struggle, but the situation was getting worse and worse. Although she was in a bad mood, she also bothered to comfort Austin, which made her have a hard time.
Unconsciously, she lost weight and her body gradually collapsed.
"Hester, I..."
Seeing her like this, Austin opened his mouth slightly and wanted to tell her the truth. But every time the truth came to his mouth, he would stop, He could tell the truth in a hurry because he was worried about her, but he could not bear her resentment. She attached so much im
s Hester, and he didn't notice the dislike on his disciple's face.
"Leo, why are you here?"
Hester rushed forward excitedly and gave him a warm embrace. Looking up at Leo who was standing against the light, she smiled brightly.
Leo raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, looked at Hester seriously and carefully observed the expression on her face, trying to find some clues.
"Your Highness, you have to do a full examination. As a knight, I have to give up a lot of work."
Since Hester had been diagnosed with depression three years ago, Austin had a headache and was afraid of it. He called Leo and asked him to go there on purpose. Then Leo became a personal psychologist of Hester and had regular check-ups to avoid the relapse of her disease.
Looking at Leo's smiling face, Hester lowered her head listlessly.
"But I have to find some clues for my client tonight. Can you postpone the inspection?"
Seeing that Hester was trying to please him, Leo nodded slightly. But he opened his thin lips and said slowly, "No way! You have to accept the examination today!"
Hearing such determined words, the hope in Hester's heart was completely destroyed. She had known it for a long time. According to Leo's temperament, it was really strange that he would agree!
"Don't stand there. Let's go home first!"
