    Chapter 140


    “It’s just that I saw the scar on your back and felt like touching it to see how it felt. Don’t think any more


    than that.”


    Upon hearing that, Tessa looked at him suspiciously. Judging from his righteous and dignified


    appearance, Nichs doesn’t seem to be such a man. There’s no w in his speech, and he doesn’t


    look guilty either. Perhaps, it was me who misunderstood him.


    But, what was he doing though, touching my scar? He’s acting strange indeed.


    With an impatient tone, Nichs urged, “Do you still wish to apply the medicine? If you do, turn


    around.”


    As she could not think of a possible reason for Nichs’ action earlier, Tessa was slightly dispirited.


    Since he has said so, I think Nichs will be more mindful so as to not simply touch me again.


    Hesitantly, Tessa spun around and allowed Nichs to continue tending to her wounds.


    Behind her, where Tessa could not see, Nichs’ gaze turned deep as his deep eyes stared at the


    back of her head.


    Though Nichs did test Tessa once or twice, it did not bring any substantial results at all. Instead, the


    answers confused him even more.


    Precisely five years ago, Nichs clearly saw a butterfly-shaped tattoo on that woman, but she imed


    that she got the tattoo three or four years ago.


    Still, it was hard for Nichs to ignore how simrly the scar was located and how it felt.


    So, is Tessa the woman stored in my memory?


    There were dozens of doubtful thoughts dancing around Nichs’ heart, but there were no immediate


    answers to be given to him at the moment. This gave him an unsettling feeling.


    Both parties had unsettling doubts buried in their hearts, yet none of them dared to utter a single word.


    In the silence of the bathroom, there was only the sound of Nichs applying the medicine and tending


    to Tessa’s wound.


    Soon enough, Tessa’s wound was painted with medicine.


    After getting dressed, the two returned to the ward together.


    Gregory was getting a little impatient from all the waiting. Upon seeing both Nichs and Tessa


    shing back to the scene where both of them were in the bathroom, Tessa blushed like a tomato as


    she was not certain on how to answer Gregory’s question. She could only nce at Nichs with


    some embarrassment.


    Meanwhile, Nichs showed a meaningful smile and said calmly, “I was applying some medicine on


    your Miss Tessa’s wound.”


    Hearing the word ‘medicine’, Gregory looked at Tessa worriedly. “Miss Tessa, are you still in pain? Do


    you want me to give you a helping hand?”


    As he spoke, he climbed onto Tessa’s hospital bed,y his head on her shoulders, and huffed softly.


    “I’m fine. Thank you, Sweetheart.”


    Once again, Tessa was struck by Gregory’s thoughtfulness and had forgotten about the embarrassing


    moment earlier.


    After disturbing Tessa for a while, Gregoryy beside her and fell asleep.


    A knock on the door interrupted the moment.


    Edward walked in. “President Sawyer, this is the document meant to be reviewed and processed


    today.”


    Taking the document, Nichs just nodded. “Anything else?”


    “Except Lionel, all the other kidnappers had spat out the truth and admitted their guilt. They said that


    they were instructed by Lionel. They did it because they thought that since it involved the son of a rich


    family, the family of the kidnapped child wouldn’t publicize the issue so as to not disturb the stability of


    their stock market and image of thepany. More importantly, they thought the family would certainly


    not dare to contact the police at all. They also mentioned that although they kidnapped Young Master


    Gregory, they didn’t cause him any substantial harm. So, they’re hoping you will forgive them and let


    this slide.”

    In an instant, Nichs’ facial expression turned cold. “Tell them they can dream on.”


    I really am not afraid that this incident would affect the Sawyer Group’s stock market. In my eyes,


    Greg’s safety is far more important than anything else. And if these kidnappers dare toy their hands


    on even a single hair on Greg, I will never let them go.


    At once, Edward felt that the surrounding air in the room seemed to be condensed. He had worked for


    Nichs for so many years, so he naturally knew what was in Nichs’ mind. This time, it’s very


    fortunate that Young Master Gregory was not injured.


    Yeah, sure, these kidnappers tried to make it sound nicer than how it was. They did not harm Young


    Master Gregory? How about the psychological effect of the kidnapping inflicted on Young Master


    Gregory? If Tessa hadn’t arrived at the right moment, who could have imagined the level of harmful


    impact the bat could have brought to Young Master Gregory’s tiny body!


    Swallowing his saliva, Edward then added, “As for Lionel, Detective Lawrence said it’s inevitable that


    he will subsequently face imprisonment as the evidence against him was solid.”


    Upon hearing that, Nichs nodded.


    After exining thepany’s affairs, Edward left.
