    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

    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!”
