Chapter 629


    Chapter 629


    When Nichs saw the sickly woman on his phone, it made him want to rush over to Tessa’s side right


    that moment.


    “I’m going to tell Edward to book the fastest flight over there right now,” he was about to hang up after


    saying that


    Fortunately, Tessa managed to stop him. “You don’t need toe. It’s just a fever. I’ll be fine after


    taking some medicine.”


    Nichs frowned severely as he replied, “I don’t feel at ease knowing that you’re sick on top of being


    alone.”


    “But, you’ll be exhausted with so many things to do on top of you flying around. I don’t want to see you


    being so tired. It worries me as well.”

    Tessa thenforted him through the phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Besides, I’m not as fragile as


    you think I am. There’s also Kylie around to look after me. So, it’s not a big deal.”


    Nichs stood on the balcony as he held his phone tightly in agitation.


    Because of the close distance, J could hear some of the conversations, even though she was


    sitting on the bed.


    She could only look at the side of Nichs with a gaping mouth, as she had never seen the man use


    such concern and gentleness to talk to anyone before.


    Yet, she was witnessing it now, only for it to be directed toward another woman.


    It turns out Nichs has this caring side to him.


    J had to admit that she felt a fit of jealousy like never before toward the woman called Tessa!


    Voman


    She involuntarily gripped the bedsheets while closing her eyes as she hid all her emotions under her


    gaze.


    Then, after a while, Nichs hung up and reentered the ward, during which she had already regained


    herposure.


    As she looked at the prideful man, she teased, “Wasn’t that your fiancée? What happened to her?”


    “She has a fever.”


    Nichs nodded and replied, but the worry in his voice was apparent to her.


    Even though J tightly gripped her bedsheets upon noticing this, she still acted like she was


    concerned. “Is she ok? If it’s serious, then you should look after her. I’ll be fine here.”


    “She refused,” Nichs seemed a bit frustrated upon saying this.


    J secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that little tidbit of information.


    She was afraid that Nichs might take her up on her suggestion and really go to that woman.


    Although she had such thoughts, she still kept up her facade and said, “Seems like you don’t


    understand women that well. You should know that we like to say the opposite of what we really feel.


    Especially when we’re sick, almost every woman is at their weakest and needs someone to apany


    them.”


    “If I were in her shoes, I would happily agree to you taking care of me.”


    Nichs also thought that Tessa was a bit too independent and tough, as she had left this fiancé of


    hers feeling a bit useless in his role at times.


    Although J could feel the jealousy in her surging, she still hid her true feelings. “Then, are you sure


    it’ll be fine if you don’t go?”


    “It’ll be fine. She’s a tough woman. It’s just that I’m a bit concerned.” Nichs slightly shook his head.


    J felt a bit stunned as she observed the man’s expressions.


    “I never thought that one day, you would care for a person so much.”


    With an inexplicable expression, she looked at Nichs with a bitterness she could not express inside.


    Yet, he did not notice her weird gaze as he nodded. “I never thought I would feel like this either.”


    As he didn’t want to continue on this topic with an outsider, he changed the subject. “How are you


    recovering?”


    J only smiled bitterly upon seeing the man swiftly changing the subject. “It’s recovering fine, I


    guess. After all, inmmation is a given since the wound wasn’t a small one.”


    “But, the doctor had injected a dose of anti-inmmatory medicine, saying they would observe me for


    two more days.”


    Nichs nodded before sitting on the sofa, looking like he was texting someone.


    J noticed his gentle gaze and knew that he must be chatting with Tessa without even needing to


    rify her guess.


    But, she was wrong.


    Nichs was not chatting with Tessa, as she needed rest after taking her medicine.


    He was actually looking through the photos of him and Tessa as he held the phone.


    Unfortunately, J didn’t want him to ignore her like that, so she tried to initiate another conversation


    again.


    “Nichs, the team had always felt you leaving was a huge loss.’


    As she knew nothing about business, her conversations were mainly about the squad they were in


    back when Nichs served in the military.
