Hester stared at Austin's mouth. When she knew that he was about to say about the baby, she was
suddenly nervous. She touched her belly unconsciously and asked anxiously, "Brother Austin, is the
baby... Is he not okay? "
Although she tried her best to suppress her feelings, her voice was still disturbed, only she couldn't
hear it by herself.
Looking at her face full of anxiety and anxiety, Austin felt a faint pain in his heart, so he couldn't bear to
tell her the truth again. She was so fragile like a kitten, making people want to pity and protect her. As
her attending doctor, Austin clearly knew that at the moment, any blow from her body could destroy her.
He still smiled gently, "Hester, don't think too much. The child is fine. I just drop by to see you."
Hester was relieved. As long as the baby was healthy, she would be fine. The baby was the
crystallization of her and Terence, and the expectation of her in the future.
This unknown life, at the moment when it was throbbing in her body, she clearly felt that there was a
bond between her and Terence, which was different from the will of Mrs. Qi, which gave them a feeling
of warmth that had never been felt before.
Austin inquired about the condition of the fetus as usual. He tried to keep a peaceful tone and careful,
lest he would expose his anxiety and affect her mood.
Hester answered all his questions with an earnest look. She pressed her hand against her belly. Her
beautiful face was full of the beauty of maternal nature, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help
revealing her sweetness.
Looking at her smile, Austin's heart was even more painful, as if being stabbed hard by a blunt knife.
This simple and kind girl knew nothing about her current situation.
Austin knew that he couldn't stay in the ward any longer. He rubbed Hester's soft hair and said gently,
"Hester, take good care of yourself. Everything will be fine."
Hester replied obediently.
However, the moment when he turned around and left, she keenly captured the pain in the corner of his
eyes. What happened to him?
Thanks to the disaster she had experienced all these years, she had a stronger heart, but also more
delicate one. She had noticed the abnormality of Austin. She fondled her belly with one hand, and
gently touched the name on a piece of paper with the other.
The smile on her little face faded, just like a sunflower whose petals withered again and again, leaving
a dish with dim colors.
She had a vague sense of foreboding, but she couldn't tell.
When Austin walked out of the ward, looking at the pregnancy test report in his hand, all the words
hovering at his throat turned into a sigh. Although Hester recovered better, the baby in Hester's womb
was more and more dangerous.
The damaged belly seemed to be in incorrect position, and the B-ultrasound could not see the baby's
present condition.
Hester was too weak to support the whole process of childbirth. At present, the best way to protect the
mom and the babay was to open the abdomen again before the expected date of childbirth.
However, too many factors are unknown and the baby may die in less than a month of surgery.
Austin leaned weakly against the white wall of the corridor in a daze. A group of nurses in pink uniforms
slowly came over.
"Did you hear about that? That Mr. Terence accompanied a woman here for the prenatal checkups in
the morning. "
"I have seen that woman. She was the second daughter of the Ning family."
"Is she also has the child of Mr. Terence?"
"You're right. All the masters of rich families like them have done the same thing."
"Isn't there another VIP room? Who is his real wife? "
The nurses walked over Austin and lowered their voices, "Dr. Austin." Seeing that Austin's face looked
bad, they quickened their pace and left.
The nurses' gossips gradually faded away, but Austin grasped the report tightly, "Terence!" Austin
gritted his teeth hard as if he wanted to chew the name.
Hester was lying in the bed, in an attempt to stay calm. She whispered to the baby in her belly, "Baby,
you must be strong, just like mom."
The wrinkles on Terence's thick eyebrows were as dark as dark clouds. What the hell was this stupid
woman talking to herself?
Hester was immersed in anxiety. She was unable to hear or notice that Terence had strode in.
It was not until a tall shadow blocked the gentle sunshine that she looked up at him in surprise. Looking
at his sullen face, she was in a panic unconsciously. Did she do something wrong again?
Panic stricken, she spoke in a low voice, like a panicked rabbit at the muzzle of a falcon. "Terence, at
dinner time, I... Am I not doing well and let your friend laugh at you? "
She knew that most of the reason why Terence hated her was that she was disabled. He was an
excellent and proud man. How could he tolerate his disabled wife?
And how would the people around look at him?
Hester had thought a lot. She was restless and blaming herself for disturbing him. But she was unable
to leave him. She was a fish, and he was like water.
"What are you talking about?" Terence said indifferently, with his eyes as deep as a black pool.
Hester lowered her head and shook her hand. "No... Nothing. "
"What is it?" These words seemed to come out from the gap between his teeth. Terence hated it when
a woman was not honest to him, even out of kindness, he would not allow it.
He wanted to control everything of her, and he would never allow her to conceal anything from him,
even though he was sure that he still had no feelings for her.
But the woman didn't respond.
She couldn't hear his voice and didn't see the shape of his mouth when she lowered her head.
Noticing the woman's neglect of his discontent, Terence got a little annoyed. He pinched her chin and
pulled her face in front of him. "I'm asking you, what were you talking about?"
When Terence stood at the door, he had heard something vague, something about the child.
There was no doubt that this baby was of great importance to him. It was supposed to be a cold figure,
but somehow, from which on earth, Terence had found that the baby meant something else to him.
He had been struggling in his heart all the time. He even hated this kind of conflict, which made him
unlike himself.
Hester had heard the shapes of Terence's mouth. Just as she was hesitating to tell him her unsettled
guesses, Austin rushed in and roared, "Terence, what are you doing?"
He flung himself to Terence and knocked him off with his elbow.
"Hester, are you okay?" Austin looked at the delicate girl on the bed with concern.
However, the girl's eyes were only on that young man, "Terence, are you all right?"
Austin's eyes darkened in an instant, like the dark clouds blocking the moonlight. He knew that he was
no match for that man in Hester's heart.
'But Hester, you are so silly.
Does this man deserve your love?'
