    Chapter 396 Heart Attack


    Gregory had no idea Tessa was thinking about so many things at once. He smiled at her. “He’s home.


    He’s in his study. Do you want to see him?”


    Tessa heaved a sigh of relief, but then she thought it was weird. If he’s at home, why did he turn his


    phone off? She wanted answers, so she told Gregory to take the phone to his father.


    “Daddy, Daddy. Miss Tessa wants to see you.” Gregory went upstairs, holding the phone in his hand


    while shouting.


    A whileter, Nichs showed up. “What’s wrong?” he asked.


    “You’re at home. Why did you turn your phone off? I thought something happened to you.” She shot


    him a re, but he could hear that she was concerned.


    A smile curled his lips, and he felt happy. “Are you worried about me?”


    “I couldn’t get through to you, and I’m not in Southend, so of course I’m worried. And you’ve never


    turned your phone off before.” She didn’t deny it, and she asked, “So why did you turn it off anyway?”


    “Because I don’t want to be disturbed.” He told her about the dinner between the Stones and the


    Sawyers.


    “So they’re still matching you up with someone?” Tessa sounded down, and also jealous. She didn’t


    look too happy either.


    Nichs was amused. He knew she was jealous, and he chuckled at her. “Don’t think too much about


    it. You’re the only one I want.”


    Touched, Tessa nodded, and she told herself that she should believe in Nichs.


    The three of them chatted for a while, and Tessa had to leave.


    Not long after they ended the call, Andrew knocked on the door. “Sir, Master Remus is here.”


    Nichs frowned, but he took Gregory and went down anyway.


    When Remus saw Nichs showing up in casual attire, he flew into a rage. The man mmed his cup


    down and chided, “This is ridiculous! You’re free, so why did you refuse to attend the dinner?”

    “Great-grandpa…” Gregory had never seen Remus so angry before, and he stood by his father for


    comfort.


    Nichs noticed his fear, and his face fell. “Take him upstairs, Andrew,” he said.


    Andrew nodded and left with Gregory, leaving Nichs and Remus alone in the living room. The air


    was fraught with tension.


    In the end, Remus broke the silence. “Why didn’t you attend the dinner? Don’t you know that everyone


    was there?”


    “So? I won’t repeat myself. I know what you’re nning, and my answer is still no.” He pointed out what


    Remus had in mind, and it made him even angrier.


    Remus growled, “What’s wrong with Hayley? She’s a good match, and she likes you and Gregory.


    She’s perfect as your wife.”


    “No matter how perfect she is, it won’t fly as long as I and Gregory don’t like her,” he refused again, and


    his patience ran out. “For onest time, I won’t marry Hayley, so stop pestering me. If you like her so


    much, then you marry her,” he said coldly.


    Thest sentence finally made Remus snap. “What did you just say, Nichs?” He mmed the table


    and shot up angrily, ring at Nichs, but then his anger turned into pain as he clutched his chest


    and staggered backward. A momentter, he closed his eyes and fell down.


    Nichs was shocked, but he quickly held Remus and shouted, “Andrew! Get the car and send


    Grandpa to the hospital!”


    …


    Nichs was standing outside the ER, looking grim. A momentter, the quiet corridor was filled with


    the sounds of footsteps as Tobias and Stefania came in a hurry.
