"Hospital?"
Hester was stunned and almost lost her calmness. She took a deep breath. Even though her face was still pale and frightening, she could barely be called calm.
"Ahem! Well, why did Mr. Terence ask me to be there?"
"Thomas is sick. Mr. Terence hasn't come to the company these days!"
Ignoring the worry in Hester's eyes, Sheryl said slowly. She didn't want Hester to lose this opportunity. Even if she wanted to get rid of the chaotic relationship with Terence, the child was innocent after all.
Hester was a mother. Although she was forcefully deprived of that right, it was a fact that could not be changed.
At the same time, Hester's body trembled slightly. The scene of that night flashed through her mind. Thomas's wet body, crying and questioning face, and everything was so clear.
The cold eyes and cruel words of Terence made her unable to bear, but also unable to restrain her anger.
"Okay!"
She closed her eyes to hide the complex emotions in them and answered indifferently, just out of guilt for the child.
"Miss April, you..."
Although she knew what Jessie was thinking, she had to go there. That child was so weak and eager for a mother's love.
"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. But he's still a kid. I'll be fine."
After saying that, Hester turned around and left. Since it had already happened, it would always need someone to solve it.
Sitting in the car and looking out of the window, Hester had a terrible headache. She raised her hand and gently rubbed the spot between her eyebrows.
That night, Thomas called her mother, and the first time she met him was clear to her ears. How should she explain all this?
Although she was about the same age as Melody, they looked different.
"What the hell is going on?"
When she said this slowly, she was also confused. She wouldn't ask this question. Since she had decided to break up, it would be better to
ooking a little weird.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Clenching his fists, Terence still had a little obsession with her. As long as she was the familiar Hester, it was impossible for her to be so cruel to her child.
She was so eager for the baby. Even if she had been ruthless to abandon him and left at the beginning, he had calmed down. Since it was a problem between the two of them, he would not force her to admit it. However, Thomas was suffering from serious illness. How could she be so cold and ruthless?
"What do I need to say?"
Hester looked at Terence in confusion. Did he specially ask her to come to the hospital just for this sentence?
"The case has been settled satisfactorily. The original fifty million compensation has been reduced to twenty million. I asked Secretary Sheryl's opinion, but she was fine, so I didn't make an appeal.
But isn't there anything that Mr. Terence is not satisfied with?"
There was no explanation at all. It could only be attributed to the case itself.
Taking a deep breath, Terence stepped forward and closed the distance between the two, with a faint sense of oppression, and his eagle eyes tightly locked on Hester.
"Are you pretending to be ignorant or you don't want to talk about it with me at all?"
