Leo looked firmly at Hester without saying anything. She looked good and there was nothing unusual.
Fortunately!
Hester was scared by his gaze. She raised her hand to cover her hair and took a step back silently.
She felt a little relieved with her back against the door.
Although she was familiar with Leo, anyone who was looked at by him like this would not stand it, right?
"Leo, what can I do for you?"
Leo regained his composure and smiled cynically. He adjusted his disordered breath silently, but didn't
show it on his face.
"Nothing serious. It's just the time for reexamination. I'm here to check for you."
Although Hester didn't believe him, she didn't debunk him. When she opened the door just now, she
clearly felt that Leo was confirming something.
He didn't tell her because he didn't want her to worry about him.
"Maybe it's because I've been at ease recently that I almost forget that I'm still a patient!"
"You're talking nonsense again. You're just mentally ill because of some stimulation. How can you be a
patient?"
Leo looked at Hester reproachfully. He didn't agree with her. Subconsciously, he had never thought of
her as a patient.
Hester blinked in astonishment, and then slightly twitched the corners of her mouth. She closed the
door, went to the kitchen and poured him a glass of warm water.
"Leo, long time no see. Where have you been these days?"
Leo picked up the cup and took a sip. His eyes twinkled, hiding all his hidden emotions.
"There are a lot of people in the studio these days, so I have been busy with the business there and
haven't come!"
"Okay!"
Hester felt a little embarrassed. She felt that Leo was a little different today, but she didn't know what to
say.
She sighed slightly and crossed her hands in boredom, counting the numbers in her heart.
"Let's check your recent condition first!"
After thinking for a while, Leo was still worried about Hester's health. He put down the cup, looked up at
her and said softly.
With an almost invisible exhalation of air, Hester nodded, walked to the balcony, lay flat on the couch,
and closed her eyes in relaxation.
With Leo's words, the situation gradually relaxed.
Looking at Hester lying there, Leo had a complicated feeling. Although it had been three years, he had
never accepted that the cousin he had been looking for was his patient.
This blow was like a bolt from the blue for him, but his grandfather hadn't agreed yet. Although he
wanted to recognize her, he could only endure it.
Leo carefully probed into her true thoughts and tried to avoid sensitive topics. He had no choice this
time and couldn't easily get over it.
When Austin hurried back home, he saw such a scene. He raised his eyebrows slightly and walked
slowly to avoid disturbing the two people.
After covering Hester with a blanket, Leo turned around and glanced at Austin. He shook his head
slightly, indicating him to go to the room next to him to talk.
"You said too much this time, which made me lose a patient!"
As soon as he sat down, Leo turned into a cynical look, and began to care about what had happened
before.
"I don't think it's a good idea for you to make a fuss now!"
Looking at Leo's expression, Austin's hanging heart slowly landed. He raised his eyebrows and
glanced at Leo.
"What's more, I just started a topic. I don't know who rushed to care about his cousin!"
Leo's was choked. He really didn't know how to refute his words. Was this called self-inflicted?
"Yes, you are right. But if someone hadn't exaggerated, I wouldn't have done such a reckless thing.
Just now, when Hester looked at me like that, I found an excuse to hide it from her.
Please pay attention to it when you speak in the future. I'm afraid that I will expose myself one day."
"Okay!"
Austin answered Leo in a low voice, somewhat absent-minded. He looked at the red mark on the back
of his hand and smiled bitterly. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid that she would go back to the
state three years ago, he wouldn't have asked Leo for help again.
Shaking his head helplessly, Leo's eyes flashed a trace of sadness. He remembered that his aunt had
a rough time in the past. Now his cousin also suffered.
Fortunately, there was someone who was more infatuated with her by her side. Otherwise, he really
didn't know what would happen to her.
"Don't worry too much about her. I just checked her carefully and found nothing wrong. Don't worry!
Maybe the reason why she behaved abnormally these days is just because she feels sad. She will be
fine after a few days."
"I see."
Austin sighed and looked out of the window. His black eyes were shining, but no one could guess what
he was thinking.
Hester woke up two hours later. When she stood up from the bed, she smelled the aroma of food.
Putting on her shoes, she walked slowly to the kitchen and saw Austin busy. Although he looked like a
househusband, there was a trace of elegance and nobility in him for no reason.
When she was a child, she was told that what a person looked like was all from his own family
education. She didn't understand at that time, but now she vaguely understood.
After putting the last dish on the plate, Austin turned around and saw Hester looking at him with deep
eyes. He looked at his apron and seemed to have a clue.
"Let's eat since you wake up!"
"Okay!"
Hester nodded and turned into the bathroom. She looked up at herself in the mirror, feeling a little
strange. She covered her face with her hand and didn't know how long it had been since she looked
into the mirror.
"No wonder Brother Austin is a little strange these days. I didn't expect my face to be so pale!"
She smiled bitterly and went out with her head down. Sitting at the table, she looked at the food in front
of her and felt sad.
"Brother Austin, I'm not that fragile to hear what happened three years ago. But I don't want Terence to
know that!"
"Huh!"
Austin chuckled and looked up at Hester who was making fun of him. The happiness between his
eyebrows was swept away in an instant.
"Indeed, we shouldn't let others take advantage of us so easily."
