Chapter 96
“I’m fine, Andrew. Thanks!” Tessa expressed her gratitude and slowly sat up straight in bed.
At the same time, Gregory quickly came closer and gazed at her in a concerned manner with his watery
eyes. “Are you alright, Miss Pretty Lady? Do you still feel unwell?”
Tessa smiled andforted the boy. “I feel a lot better now. Although I’m still a little dizzy, I think it’ll go
away in a while. Thanks for asking, Sweetheart.”
“I’m d you’re fine. I don’t want you to fall sick, Miss Pretty Lady.” Greg heaved a sigh of relief upon
hearing Tessa’s words.
Tessa’s heart was melted by Gregory’s thoughtfulness. A few momentster, she turned her attention to
Nichs and apologetically said, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t conduct my sses with Greg today due to my
condition, President Sawyer.”
Nichs didn’t take it to heart and calmly said, “It’s okay. Just remember not to swim when it’ste at
night. After all, you know your own body better than anyone else.”
Tessa was reminded of what happened the night before and nodded awkwardly with her blushed cheeks.
“Sure.”
Nichs’s eyes darkened because he was soon reminded of the call that Tessa’s grandmother had
made earlier. After a brief hesitation, he decided to go ahead and tell her about it. “Your grandmother
called you a number of times this morning and demanded that you go back, saying she has something to
speak to you about.”
Tessa was stunned when he heard Nichs’s words. Grandmother? Is he talking about the olddy from
the Reinharts? At the thought of Amber, Tessa could be seen with her eyes turning indifferent, her voice
sounding as cold as ice. “Alright, I heard you.”
Despite Tessa’s affirmative response, it was clear that she was reluctant to return home. Deep down,
she was unhappy with Amber, whom Nichs was referring to as her grandmother.
That olddy is not my grandma! She is just some old hag who threw a weight around and treated me
and my brother like nothing. Thanks to her, my mother lost her ce in the Reinhart Family. What was
worse was that she encouraged my father to cheat on my mother by feeding him lies that my brother and
I were not his children. Because of that, my father has always hated me and Timothy.
From the moment Tessa was cast away from the Reinhart Family, she only considered her brother as the
only family member she ever had and swore to never cross paths with the Reinharts ever again, let
alone reconcile with them.
On the other hand, Nichs could tell the indifference in Tessa’s eyes but knew that she was still wise
enough not to confront the Reinharts alone, so he said nothing about what he saw. Instead, he said,
“Alright, now that you’re feeling better, I suppose it is time for us to have lunch together. Because of you,
Greg got so worried that he didn’t even take breakfast. So, you must take care of yourself, in order not to
worry him.”
As soon as Tessa heard what Nichs said, her cial eyes were filled with warmth once again. She
then gazed at Gregory and spoke with a gentle voice. “Sweetheart, that’s very kind of you. I love you so
much! I promise I’ll take my medication on time and make sure not to worry you, okay?”
“That’s awesome! Alright, I love you too, Miss Pretty Lady!” Gregory nodded rapidly, his eyes lighting up
with exhration.
After lunch, Tessa seemed more energized upon eating. Since she had been sleeping the whole
morning, she decided not to sleep anymore but instead spent her time ying lego with Gregory in the
games’ room.
In the meantime, Nichs went out and headed to his office, thinking Tessa should be fine from that
moment on. Later that afternoon, Tessa’s phone was bombarded with iing phone calls from none
other than Amber once again.
In fact, when Amber returned to the Reinhart Residence earlier that morning, she ran into Sophia, who
exaggerated the matter about Ss and Lauren’s arrest and med it all on Tessa.
Upon hearing the news, Amber was taken over by her anger as she condemned Tessa for putting her
only son through so much suffering. How could Tessa do something like this to her father?! Where is her
sense of morality and decency? It was then that Amber reached for her phone and gave Tessa order to
summon thetter and give her a piece of her mind Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Nevertheless, Amber’s attempt to summon Tessa was thwarted by Nichs, who brushed off her with an
excuse that she was at work. When it was finally the afternoon, Amber’s impatience made her restless
and prompted her to make the call again. Meanwhile, Tessa eventually grew so annoyed that she went
ahead and cklisted Amber’s number after several irritating phone calls. Out of sight, out of mind!
On the other hand, Tessa’s action didn’t sit well with Amber, who sat on the couch with a twisted facial
expression. She then cursed Tessa with a sarcastic tone. “You b*tch! How dare you just block my contact
like that! Great! You’re starting to show me your backbone now!”
