Chapter 1451


    Chapter 1451 You’re Not to me


    "No need. I''m going to wait here."


    There was no way that Nichs would even bother changing because all he cared about right now was


    Tessa. He wasn''t going to let her out of his sight for something so low on his priority list.


    Edward didn''t press the matter and merely waited with him in the hallway, which became as silent as the


    grave.


    None of them noticed how long it had been until the sounds of scurrying footsteps echoed in the hallway


    —it was Tobias and Stefania who had brought Gregory and Gordon along. They were a mess as they


    rushed over to them.


    "Nichs, I heard that Tessa is injured!"


    "What''s with the blood on you? What the hell happened?"


    The elders asked simultaneously, and Gregory wailed with bloodshot eyes, "Daddy, what happened to


    Mommy?"


    Nichs was well aware that he couldn''t sugar-coat the truth from them in such circumstances, so he


    told them everything that he knew at this point. "Zachary and the others colluded with someone to kidnap


    Tessa. They have set us up, and Tessa was pushed off the cliff by the kidnappers."


    The information he provided horrified and infuriated Tobias and Stefania.


    "How could they do that?!" Stefania hissed angrily, her teeth clenching tightly.


    Tears welled up in Gregory''s eyes, and he choked, "Is Mommy badly injured? Will she leave us?"


    "No, Mommy will be fine," Nichs said, assuring him solemnly.


    However, Stefania was far from convinced by his words. How could a person be fine after falling off a


    cliff?! Still, when she noticed how sad Gregory looked, she couldn''t bring herself to voice her doubts.


    Nheless, her dubious thoughts were written all over her face, so Nichs naturally knew what she


    was truly thinking. So, he added, "When she rolled off the cliff, she tried her best to stop herself from


    falling too fast in order to save herself. So, she suffered a lot of superficial injuries but not any fractures."


    Stefania only breathed out a silent sigh of relief after hearing that exnation.


    Then, Nichs'' phone started ringing, and it was none other than Timothy ringing.


    He was already finished with his checkup at the hospital and worried about Tessa the entire time.


    "Nichs, have you found Tess?"


    "We did, and we''re at the hospital now. You cane over."


    He briefly told Timothy the situation, and they hung up. Soon, the Sawyers heard the sounds of hurried


    footsteps in the hallway. This time, it was Timothy hastily hobbling toward them.


    When Nichs saw him trying to run with his injured leg, he frowned and chided in disapproval, "Do you


    want to worsen your leg injury? Why are you trying to run when it''s already hurting?"


    This bothered him a lot because Tessa would be heartbroken to see Timothy in a terrible state once she


    woke up.


    But Timothy couldn''t care less as he grabbed his arm and demanded impatiently, "How''s Tess doing?"

    Behind him, Sabrina followed closely and cast a worried look at Nichs.


    "She''s in the ER now, and we don''t know exactly how she''s doing," Nichs answered honestly.


    A knot appeared between Timothy''s brows, and a bewildered look shed across his face when he saw


    the blood on Nichs.


    Nheless, her dubious thoughts were written all over her face, so Nichs naturally knew what she


    was truly thinking. So, he added, "When she rolled off the cliff, she tried her best to stop herself from


    falling too fast in order to save herself. So, she suffered a lot of superficial injuries but not any fractures."


    "What''s up with the blood on you, Nichs? Are you hurt?" he eximed and signaled for Sabrina to get


    the nurse''s attention.


    "What''s up with the blood on you, Nichs? Are you hurt?" he eximed and signaled for Sabrina to get


    the nurse''s attention.


    Nichs stopped him and exined, "I''m not hurt. These are Tessa''s."


    When Timothy heard that, his heart shuddered and almost lurched out of his ribcage as he was instantly


    overwhelmed by guilt.


    "That''s a lot of blood… She''s definitely badly hurt," he mumbled, clenching his fists so tight that the veins


    on the back of his palms were showing. "I said that I''ll protect her, but she''s hurt again."


    Sabrina felt sorry for him and held his hand in hers when she saw how he was utterly overridden by


    remorse. "Don''t think that way, Timothy. Nobody could have guessed this was going to happen."


    Timothy pursed his lips together but remained stonily silent. Stefania even tried tofort him, saying,


    "You''ve done the best you can, Timothy. But those people are simply too vicious."


    Right after she said that, they heard a muffled thud, which was the sound of Nichs punching into the


    whitewashed wall. His eyes were grim and solemn, and his jaw was tight, showing that he was barely


    restraining his fury. "All these have nothing to do with you. I''m the one who didn''t protect her well and


    caused her to be hurt every time. Furthermore, I knew that there was hidden danger, but no matter how I


    tried to avoid it, I still left a window of opportunity for these people to take advantage of. So, at the end of


    the day, I am the one truly to me."
