Chapter 708 Leave (1/2)

Hearing Yam's soft voice, Austin stopped what he was doing and instantly returned to normal. He lowered his eyes and gently dealt with her scald.

An indescribable feeling surged up in his heart, and he always had a different feeling for Yam. It was indeed a little hurtful for him to say so much before.

However, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Hester.

”Yam, I don't know what your purpose is. But it's not easy for you to get rid of the past now. There's no need to get yourself involved in these messy things.”

Yam bit her lips, with tears in her eyes. She tightened her hand on her side and looked at Austin stubbornly.

”I have no purpose!”

Austin sneered and hid the meaning behind it, which was hard to see clearly. His fingertips were applying medicine to Yam's hand. And his focused look made people unconsciously have an illusion.

”Miss Yam, please don't mind my previous attitude! We are both grown-ups. There is no need to hide anything.

Hester was kind-hearted, so she was unwilling to think everything complicated, let alone guess people's hearts. But you are different. How could such a living environment be as simple as before?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yam's face. She avoided the burning eyes of Austin. She took a deep breath and suppressed all the sadness in her heart. Then she forced a smile and looked at him.

”Mr. Austin, I understand your eagerness to protect your loved one. But please respect me when you do this, okay?”

”Respect?”

Austin smiled as if he had heard something funny. So far, Yam was the only person he had met that was still smiling at her exposed past.
