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.
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 courtya
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!"
