Win Her Back

Chapter 713 Illness

Hester's eyes flashed with loneliness. Her eyes fell on Thomas, who was quiet at the side. She frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal.

She raised her hand to tuck the short hair around her ear, trying to suppress all the inexplicable feelings in her heart. She had nothing to do with other people's children.

But why was she so sad when she heard Melody say that Thomas had slight autism?

"Does Miss April dislike Thomas for autism?"

Seeing that Hester had not responded for a long time, Melody raised her hand and held Thomas in her arms. Her eyes were filled with tears and a little melancholy.

"Yes, there are some misunderstandings about children with autism. They thought they were masochistic and completely blocked all the external interference.

But Thomas is different. His intelligence is very high, and after getting along with him these days, you couldn't feel that he has autism at all."

Lisa frowned at the repeated mention of the young master's autism. The illness of the young master was the pain of the Qi family, not a counter to exchange for sympathy.

"Miss Melody, please don't worry. The young master's illness is not that serious."

"Yes! She is right!" I am not sick. My father said I am not sick!"

Afraid of being disliked, Thomas grasped Melody's sleeve and tried his best to explain that he was not sick. Although he didn't know what autism meant, he still felt sad every time he went to the hospital and saw others looking at him strangely.

Noticing that her words were wrong, Melody lowered her eyes and gently rubbed Thomas' head, with a trace of regret in her eyes. She had just wanted to make Hester sad, but she had gone too far unconsciously.

"Thomas, don't worry. I'm just discussing the matter. I don't mean to hurt you. I just thought that since you have a crush on Auntie April, it must be helpful for you, so I kept talking about your condition."

Thomas nodded obediently and felt relieved. He turned to look at Hester with strong expectations. It was not that he was afraid of being known about his illness, but that the other party was his mother, which made him a little worried.

Why did his mother leave him at that time? His father had always avoided talking about it. Was it because of his illness?

"Auntie April, will you dislike me?"

Being asked without warning, Hester was not prepared at all and felt that she was the first to be hit. She didn't know the situation at all. She had thought that what Terence had said that Thomas had autism was a lie.

But now, Melody, who had always been against her, stood out. She really couldn't accept it. How could such a lovely child get such a disease?

"No, Thomas. I'm just a little shocked."

"Shocked?"

Blinking his big eyes, Thomas looked at Hester in confusion, not knowing why she was shocked.

"Am I seriously ill, so I was looked at with strange eyes?"

Hester looked at Thomas' innocent eyes with bitterness. Was it because of this disease that he had been looked at strangely since he was a child?

He was still a child. It was too cruel to treat him like this.

"No, you are not sick at all. It's just that there are a lot of things that only happen to a few people in this world. Those ordinary people feel strange when they don't have the same experience, so they can't help but take a few more looks at them."

"So am I a very small number of people?"

Although he didn't know what she meant, he nodded at her. He looked at Hester with expectations, waiting to hear her praise.

"Of course, you are the child of the stars!"

Hester closed her eyes to hide the sadness in them. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said lightly. She didn't know how to express her guilt to avoid his sensitive heart. She just felt guilty.

An imperceptible complacency flashed across Melody's lips! 'You must be guilty! As long as I see your painful look, it is the source of my happiness.

How do you feel? It must be very uncomfortable for your son to have another woman as his mother!'

"Miss Hester has a broad vision now. It's comfortable to talk about it. Although Thomas is young, he is so thoughtful. I think he has a special talent!"

Hearing what Melody said, Hester frowned slightly. It was undeniable that although her words were reasonable, they inevitably made people feel uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, she didn't say anything to stop her. After all, she was Thomas' biological mother at this time. Hester had no right to control how she taught her child.

"If Miss Melody came here just to express your thanks to me for taking care of Thomas, I can feel it. You see, my law office has just been established, and there are still a lot of cases at hand. If you don't have anything else, I won't keep you here."

Melody raised her hand and tucked the short hair around her ear. She nodded and adjusted her state to the best in an instant. She smiled gently.

"I'm sorry to bother you. But Thomas has been crying to see you. I can't refuse him, so I have to bring him here.

Of course, if you really have something to deal with, you can ignore us. Thomas doesn't talk much at ordinary times. He won't disturb you." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Hester sighed and felt powerless. She raised her hand to pinch between her eyebrows and took a deep breath to prevent her anger from hurting the innocent.

'Chill! Chill! Hester, you must keep calm. Although you don't like Melody, Thomas is just a child. In order not to leave a shadow on his mind, you have to endure it!'

"You must be kidding, Miss Melody. I just feel that it's too boring for you to watch me deal with the case here, and I'm a little neglected."

Melody smiled and her eyes sparkled. She looked up at the thick documents on the table and raised her eyebrows. Today, looking at her dispirited look, it was also a relief. There was a long time ahead, and she was not in a hurry at this moment.

"Thomas, you see, Auntie April is busy now. How about we go back first and make an appointment with Auntie April in advance another day to play with you for a day?"

Thomas stared at Melody with his bright big eyes. Although he was reluctant to leave Hester, he nodded obediently.

"Bye, Auntie April!"
