    Chapter 94


    Nichs reacted with a calm expression on his face when he heard Ashton’sment. “Greg is


    worried about her, so you’d still be needed here anyway.” He steered the conversation in his way by


    mentioning Gregory.


    Nheless, Gregory didn’t seem to find anything wrong with that as he asked in a serious manner,


    “Mr. Sloan, how is Miss Pretty Lady now? Is her fever serious? When will she recover?”


    Noticing how concerned the boy was about someone else for the first time, Ashton was somehow


    touched by his heart-warming response. He then patiently answered Gregory’s question, meeting the


    latter’s gaze firmly. “She’ll be fine, Greg. Soon, she’ll be up and around again, as all she needs is some


    medication and sufficient rest.”


    However, Gregory seemed a little disheartened as he looked away and shifted his gaze to Nichs.


    “Miss Pretty Lady is sick, and I’m sure it feels torturous for her. So, please leave me here!” The boy


    sympathetically implored his father to grant his wish, his watery eyes filled with sympathy.


    While Nichs didn’t go against Gregory’s wish, he nodded and stepped out of the room with Ashton.


    When the two men got to the corridor, Ashton finally brought up his confusion. “Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! So, that’s


    your secret girlfriend whom you’ve been hiding in your house all this while. You’re full of surprises,


    Nichs!”


    Nichs reacted normally without giving any further exnation as he calmly replied, “Greg likes his


    teacher, whom he trusts without question, much to my surprise as well. So, I decided to let her stay


    with us.”


    Ashton raised his eyebrows with his mouth wide agape just when he was about to ask more questions,


    but Nichs refused to let him do that and took the opportunity to change the subject. “By the way, is


    she really going to be fine?”


    Ashton nodded in response. “Yeah, she probably just caught a cold. Furthermore, her body seems to


    have a lower cold tolerance, which renders her susceptible to coldness and other rted symptoms.


    Anyway, I made sure she took her medicine, so I believe her fever should subside byter in the


    afternoon. If her condition doesn’t improve, you could take her to the hospital directly, but I won’t be


    there because I have an international meeting with a foreign specialist.”


    Nichs nodded understandably and answered with a calm voice, “Alright, see yourself out then.”


    Ashton paused, thinking it was a shame because it was time for him to go and attend to his business


    when he was so close to discovering something gossipy. Thus, he casually said, “Alright, I’ll make a


    move now. When Ie back next time, I look forward to hearing more of thatdy’s story.” After that,


    he took big strides and walked out of the house.


    Once Ashton disappeared from sight, Nichs turned around and returned to the guest room, in which


    he saw Gregory resting his head on the bed with his hand holding Tessa’s palm. At the same time, he


    appeared to be murmuring something. “Miss Pretty Lady, you have to recover as soon as possible. I’m


    waiting for you.”


    Befuddled and barely conscious, Tessa seemingly heard Gregory’s voice and replied with gibberish. “I


    I’ll get well soon. D-Don’t worry, Sweetheart.”


    “Okay.” Gregory nodded obediently.


    At the sight of their amusing reaction, Nichs unknowingly curled his lips upward and decided to


    leave them both to it before he gave his assistant, Edward, a call. “Deliver all the documents that I need


    to sign to my residence. I’m going to be working from home right now.” Nichs gave his assistant an


    instruction.


    “What?” Edward’s reaction gave away his surprise as he could barely remember Nichs was ever


    absent at work. Because of that, he couldn’t help but wonder why his boss would want to work from


    home, which immediately gave him an idea that there could be something wrong with Gregory. At the


    thought of that, Edward asked in a concerned manner, “Is Young Master Gregory alright?”


    “Greg is fine, but Tessa isn’t,” Nichs replied with a casual answer.


    “Wait, what?” Edward was confused, wondering what it had to do with Tessa.


    Nichs answered calmly, “Miss Reinhart has a fever, and Greg is worried about her. So, if anything


    happens to her, my boy will be desperately looking for me. Thus, I’m going to be working from home


    today. Any questions?”

    “N-Nothing!” Edward responded with a brittle smile, somehow finding Nichs’s excuse funny,


    although he couldn’t really exin what it was. However, he didn’t dare to ask further and went ahead


    to do as he was told, ready to head to the Sawyer Residence after packing the files in his briefcase.


    Alright, so I’m now heading over to President Sawyer’s house, where I’m supposed to take these


    papers all the way to Tessa’s room.


    “President Sawyer, these are the urgent documents that you need to sign while the rest aren’t,” Edward


    gently ced the documents on the desk and said.


    While Nichs nodded and continued to appear serious with his work, Gregory didn’t seem willing to


    leave Tessa, thinking he should be there to look after her since her fever still hadn’t subsided.


    Nheless, Edward couldn’t help but find it strange at the sight of the scene just right in front of his


    eyes.
