Chapter 730 It's Hard To Accept
Hester stood aside, not knowing how to describe her heart. She had deeply understood how helpless and painful he was and how painful he was in his heart.
"You... I'm sorry!"
Edmund held Hester's hand tightly. It was like a dying man clutched at the only life-saving straw and refused to let go.
"Rosemary, my Rosemary..."
Hearing his murmur, Hester lowered her eyes and tried to hold back the tears. It was good to have more family members, but she didn't have the heart to see him so sad.
"Grandpa, don't be sad."
Leo comforted him gently and distracted his attention. Louis quietly approached with the injection and injected tranquilizer into him.
Leo carefully put Edmund on the bed and covered him with the quilt. Then he exhaled softly and glanced at Hester, feeling a headache.
One person was enough to make him headache, but two came at once.
Looking up at Leo's meaningful eyes, Hester took a deep breath and said slowly. She had to figure out something in the end.
"Leo, I want an explanation!"
Eric looked up at Leo and nodded slightly. Looking at Hester's expression, he guessed that Rosemary hadn't told her too much about the Liu family.
Now that they had found her, they should let her know more!
With his father's permission, Leo nodded slightly and slowly walked out of the bedroom. Hester followed him and came to the pavilion in the yard, one after the other. They sat down on each side.
"Your mother's name is Rosemary, a lady from the Liu family. And your father is just a servant. He wants to flatter your mother and elope with her.
In order to stop them, grandpa had done a lot of things, but they still escaped. Grandpa was so angry that he ordered everyone in the Liu family not to look for her, and even not to mention her name at home."
Leo looked up at Hester and said slowly. Although the past had passed, it was still related to her. It was better to give her more guidance.
"You'll know everything after that, including your being adopted and Mrs. Qi's plan. Of course, if you can't accept it in a short time, I can understand all of it.
However, as a child of the Liu family, we should never grovel to others for mercy. Hester, anyway, you must remember this. Don't forget it!"
Hester stared at Leo with mixed feelings. No one had ever said such words to her. She had never fought for anything since she was a child. All she did was to protect her own world and hide in a corner alone, wishing that everyone would forget her.
Because of her ears at that time, she didn't know what others said about her. Instead, she was fooled and regarded as a joke.
At first, it was because she was too young to understand. Later, she learned lip language and understood why they always smiled for no reason. Then she gradually left the circle.
Then she met an angel like Terence. She indulged herself in it and couldn't extricate herself. She fell into the beautiful dream that she had created, and then she crawled out with wounds and pain.
When she recalled all these, it was like a joke, laughing at her twenty years of life.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed."
After saying that, Hester stood up and left. She staggered slightly. It could be seen that she was trying to hold on. Her thin figure swayed in the wind, as if she would be blown away in the next second.
She came to the bedroom in a trance and fell on the bed. She closed her eyes and her mind was in a mess, which made her very painful.
The sound of heavy breath and painful groan gradually spread in the quiet room.
The next morning, Hester woke up with dizziness. She got out of bed with bare feet and stood beside the window. She felt unreal when she saw the servants busy going in and out.
Yes, she had a family since yesterday. Her fingertips gently stroked the green plants by the window, and a hint of darkness flashed through her eyes. She had been looking forward to it for such a long time, but why did she feel so heavy?
"Cousin, are you awake?"
Sheryl's voice came from outside, with a hint of temptation, as if she was afraid of disturbing her.
Hester raised her hand to pinch the position between her eyebrows and shook her head slightly. She really didn't understand why everyone was so careful about her. Was she a monster? Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
She opened the door and wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth were heavy.
"What's up?"
Looking at Hester's calm face, Sheryl felt very uncomfortable with her throat tightly strangled. She even forgot why she was here.
"Oh, that grandpa has woken up. He wants to see you!"
Thinking of the old man who had cried like a child last night, Hester raised her eyebrows slightly. Ever since she was kidnapped, many surprises had been brought to her. She didn't expect that such a serious man would be like that.
However, she wasn't good at comforting others. She had said those words yesterday, but what should she say today?
Noticing Hester's hesitation, Sheryl didn't dare to let her grandfather wait too long. She grabbed her hand and hurried out of the room, rushing all the way to Edmund's bedroom.
"Grandfather, cousin is here."
She took a deep breath and adjusted her state to the best. Then she raised a sweet smile and nodded slightly.
"Okay!"
Edmund snorted. Although his face was still not very good, it was much better than yesterday. He was lying quietly on the bed, staring at Hester with red blood streaks in his eyes.
"Come and sit here!"
Hester nodded subconsciously and slowly walked to the bedside to sit down. Her eyes were erratic, dodging his burning gaze. It was not because she was coward, but because she really didn't know what to say.
Since she was a child, the only man she had met was Terence, followed by Brother Austin. The former hurt her the most, while the latter doted on her deeply.
"Don't you want to call me grandpa?"
It could be seen that she was very nervous, and her fingers were tightly intertwined. Edmund sighed and said slowly with a hint of pain in his eyes.
"No!"
Hester retorted quickly, looking at the old man's red and swollen eyes with a trace of bitterness. She lowered her head and looked at her fingers, raising her eyebrows.
"I just don't know how to face you! For so many years, I always thought that my mother was the only family member, but I didn't expect that so many families would appear after so many years. It's just a little difficult to accept."
