The moment Gregory gorged on a piece of pork ribs, his eyes lit up. “Mr. Timothy, this tastes amazing!
These ribs taste divine and are exactly like the one made at home by the chef!”
Upon hearing that, Timothy smiled at Gregory and said, “Young Master Gregory, your ttery is not
suitable for a humble servant like me. Surely, I could not bepared to a five-star chef. Help yourself
to some more of those ribs since you find it delectable.”
Gregory nodded vigorously and continued to eat. “I’m not sprouting nonsense here. Mr. Timothy, your
cooking is truly delicious; these ribs can even bring the dead back to life!”
Upon hearing Gregory’sment about the food, the adults burst intoughter.
After everyone enjoyed their meal, Timothy cleaned up the tableware and sat down immediately, not
wanting to return to the university one bit.
Feeling slightly amused, Tessa nced at the time. “Tim, don’t you still have sses in the afternoon?”
“Tess, don’t speed me up. I didn’t say I wouldn’t return to my sses. I’m merely hoping to spend some
time with you. That’s all.”
Seeing he was busted, Timothy scratched his head with slight embarrassment.
After sitting for a while, though reluctant, Timothy was silently urged by Tessa to return to his sses.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Tessaughed yet slightly scolded, “You’d better hurry up and return to your sses instead of
waddling like a child in the yground.”
Contented with the food and drink she had, Tessa felt more awake and spirited than when she woke up
this morning.
After entertaining Gregory for a short while, Tessa felt a burning sensation of paining from her
back.
Tessa managed to endure it for a while. However, the pain didn’t subside in the slightest. In fact, it was
the opposite. The pain intensified, resulting in her forehead gleaming with sweat a little.
I suppose it’s about time to apply the medicine and change the dressing.

Fortunately for Tessa, the nurse left the medicine in the ward and noted to her that if the wound started
to hurt, she should seek assistance from her family to apply medication or let the nurse do it when it
was time to change the wound dressing.
Unfortunately, in her current situation, it was nearly impossible for her to wait for the nurse to arrive.
There was only Nichs avable at the moment, but Tessa felt embarrassed to ask him for
assistance.
The only solution to Tessa in dealing with the crisis was clear. Left with no choice, she took the
medicine and went into the bathroom, thinking she could apply the medicine on her wound first to at
leastbat the pain she was feeling now.
Upon locking herself up in the bathroom, Tessa took off the hospital robe to only the crook of her hand.
After removing the gauze, to her horror, she found that her back was painted and drenched in blood.
This was her very first time confronting her wounds, so Tessa took a deep breath of cold air to calm
down. Her hands could not reach the wound, but at the same time, she could not dy the medication
she so badly needed any longer. Thus, she took a Q-tip, dipped it into the medicinal liquid, and moved
it
in the direction of her wound.
However, the location of the wound made it very tricky for her to treat on her own. After spending so
much time, all Tessa had was a sore arm instead of getting the job done.
Seeing this was going nowhere, Tessa took a short break. Then, she gritted her teeth for another
attempt, yet she still could not reach it.
After several more attempts, some sweats dripped from the tip of her nose:
Right outside the door, Nichs saw that Tessa had been in the bathroom longer than usual. He was a
little puzzled, so he knocked on the door. “Is everything okay in there? Do you need any assistance?”
Despite being in an excruciating amount of pain, Tessa refused to let slip and worry anybody else. So,
she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m fine. I will be out in a jiffy.”
After giving Nichs an answer, she continued trying again. However, she was still unable to reach the
wound on her own.
Nichs waited outside the door for more than ten minutes yet still caught no sight of Tessaing
out. Thus, he decided not to ask any more questions and just barged through the door and weed
himself in.
At once, Nichs saw Tessa’s back facing the door; her clothes were half removed, disying her
whole back.
The sphenoid bone of the butterfly on her back was prepossessing and apparent. Also, the lifelike
butterfly tattoo that appeared as if it was fluttering away looked even more delicate and charming at this
moment. It was hard for one to take their eyes off such a beautiful tattoo. The blood of the wound on
the pale white skin of her back created an extremely striking contrast to the sight. It was beautiful
beyond words. Not to mention, the curves of her backside were perfectly beautiful. The strong collision
yet harmonious merge between these sights dazzled Nichs, and he was momentarily speechless
out of astonishment.
Shocked by the sudden door opening sound, Tessa once again strained her injury, and the burning
sensation of pain came back once more.
“Argh!”
Tears welled up and threatened to fall from Tessa’s eyes due to her immense pain.
Seeing that it was only Nichs, Tessa was slightly flustered. She did not know where to hide her hand
that was holding onto a piece of Q-tip. Hence, she could only stay stupefied in ce, not knowing what
she was going to do the next moment.
The moment Nichs heard Tessa cry in pain, he snapped back to his senses. Once he saw the Q-tip
in Tessa’s hand, he immediately took the hint on her shenanigan in the bathroom.
