"Auntie, what did you miss? Does it mean that Thomas has missed a lot either?"

Thomas was eager to ally with his mother, so he immediately stepped forward to please her. With a

sweet smile at the corners of her mouth, he looked very cute.

Hester raised her hand to touch her hair awkwardly, and she narrowly avoided Thomas' inquiring gaze.

No one wanted to hear their parents quarrel, right?

She had been away for three years, so she didn't know what happened between them. At this moment,

it was just her guess and couldn't be counted.

Moreover, the child was innocent after all. She didn't want to get him involved.

"Oh! I just said it casually. Thomas, don't take it seriously. All these things have nothing to do with us.

Let's just pretend that we don't know!"

"Okay!"

Disappointed, Thomas lowered his head. He was confused but he didn't ask. When he wanted to know

more about his mother, his father was the same.

Later, Lisa told him not to keep asking, or his father would be sad. If dad was sad, then was mom also

sad at this moment?

"Auntie April, I am hungry."

"Oh my God! You have slept for so long. It's strange that you are not hungry!"

Hester glanced at the time and was surprised. It turned out that Thomas had been asleep for nearly

four hours, and there was no movement from Lisa. She'd better make something first.

"Thomas, lie in bed obediently. I'll cook some porridge for you, okay?"

Hearing that his mother was going to cook porridge herself, Thomas' morbid face flashed with

excitement. He nodded vigorously, hoping that his mother could cook the porridge as soon as possible,

which was also his wish for many years.

After comforting Thomas, Hester stood up from the ground, but fell to the bedside because she had

been squatting for a long time. She took a deep breath and gripped the foot of the bed to avoid falling

down.

"I'm not hungry. Auntie April, have a rest!"

Thomas' tears fell in an instant. He looked at Hester with watery eyes and moved his body to the other

side, barely sparing more than half of the bed.

His mother must have lied to him all the time. She must be very sad now, but he couldn't say anything.

He must be obedient and don't make her angry!

Looking at the stubborn Thomas, Hester felt funny and distressed. How insecure he was to be so

careful all the time!

It was really bitter for a child to get involved in the enmity between parents.

"Thomas, don't be afraid! I almost fell down because I had squatted for a long time and the blood was

not flowing.

It's just a meal. You can lie on the bed for a while. Let go of me now, okay?"

Holding Hester's sleeve stubbornly, Thomas looked scared. Although he was young, he did understand

many things.

She wouldn't fall down unless she felt uncomfortable. It was not easy for him to find his mother back.

He must cherish her!

"No way! Auntie April needs to rest now. Lie down quickly! I am not hungry at all now. I don't need to

eat anything."

Hearing Thomas' words, Hester was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Considering Thomas' body,

she couldn't break free with all her strength. How could she be suppressed by a child so easily?

"Thomas, let go of me first, okay?"

When Austin returned home, he didn't see Hester. He walked to the door of her room and happened to

hear this. He frowned and pushed the door open. He saw such a scene and was surprised.

In a sense, he was afraid of seeing Thomas. Although his features were very similar to Terence's, his

eyes were especially like Hester's.

It was just because she had never thought in that direction that she would not recognize. But he knew

the details, fearing that she would notice something.

"Hello, uncle!"

Thomas was the first to see Austin standing at the door. Remembering that he was with his mother that

day, he greeted her politely, but held Hester tightly.

Hearing his words, Hester turned around and saw Austin thinking about something.

"Brother Austin, you're back!"

"Oh! Without my operation today, I came back early."

Austin smiled, hiding all his emotions. He walked in slowly and stood in front of the window, keeping a

short distance from Thomas.

"What are you doing?"

Hester looked at the child on the bed helplessly, having a terrible headache. Was it possible that all the

children were so unreasonable when they lost their temper?

"Thomas is sick today, so he clamored to come to me! Terence couldn't change his mind, so he sent

him here. I fed him with medicine and he was hungry after sleeping. I was trying to cook for him, but he

refused!"

"It's not like this!"

Thomas said excitedly, fearing that he would leave a bad impression on his mother's friends and make

him dislike him.

"Auntie April almost fell down just now. I was worried about her, so I stopped her."

Hearing that something had happened to Hester, Austin immediately sat beside her, put his hand on

her wrist and examined her carefully. Hester's body had been greatly injured before, so she must be

careful!

"Brother Austin, don't listen to Thomas. He was just making a fuss. Look at me, I'm very strong. How

could anything happen to me?

I just squatted for too long and my legs are numb!"

After the examination, Austin breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at Thomas

with a smile, hiding the guilt deep in his eyes.

It was because he had made too many mistakes that he needed to make up now. Even though he had

already caused great damage, he didn't care at all. As long as Hester was still by his side, everything

would be fine!

"What does Thomas want to eat? I will cook for you. Can you let Auntie April rest?"

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Thomas nodded. Of course, it was what he wanted. She didn't need to cook, and

she could accompany him for a long time!

"You!"

Holding his nose dotingly, Hester smiled. Who was such a quirky child like?

"Drink some ginger water later. You know you can't bear the cold, but why don't you pay attention to

it?"
