Was He Helping Her?

"Mrs. Gibson, let's go." She pulled Esther by her wrist towards the car.

Esther turned back and looked at her mother. She was with tears. Esther wasn't sure if grandma would punish her mother later as her scapegoat. But Doris waved her hand and was smiling at her with relief.

Watching Esther being taken away by the Gibsons, Doris smiled in relief, but no one else had a good look on the face.

Especially James, it seemed like an odd coincidence that his uncle was having a relapse today, and he didn’t believe it. Even if it was true, there was no point asking Esther to return, because she wasn't a doctor anyway.

The woman said that she was Terence's assistant, so he must had asked her to come and bring her back.

How could Terence had foreseen this? And how could he know that Esther would be punished by her own family?
