Chapter 1274
Always Been Yours
She spoke silently. Nicholas still couldnât hear it clearly, but he understood lipreading. So, he could roughly guess what she meant and finally smiled after so many days. âIâll wait for you to get better.
Always will.â
He caught Tessaâs hand and kissed it. At this sight, Tessa broke into a smile. A sweet breath emerged from them as their eyes met. Even the room started to have a sweet smell not long after.
Then, Nicholas stayed for a while more until Tessa fell asleep. Only then did he reluctantly leave the ward. Once he was out of the ward, he noticed that Sofia had arrived and nodded in greeting. âYouâre here.â
âI heard that Tessaâs awake, so I rushed over. Howâs she? What did the doctor say?â Sofia was exceptionally concerned about Tessaâs well-being and inundated Nicholas with questions.
The others stood by the side and turned to Nicholas with concern because they wanted to ask about Tessaâs situation, especially Gregory, who hugged Nicholasâ leg.
Then, the child eagerly asked, âHowâs Mommy, Daddy? Do her wounds hurt?â
Nicholas lowered his head to look at Gregory and gently commented, âYour mommyâs alright, donât worry.â
At that, he turned to Sofia and described Tessaâs general condition.
âYes, Tessaâs awake now and is no longer in a critical condition. The next step is for her body to heal and the recovery stage. The doctor said that it may take more than half a year for her to make a full recovery.â
âAs long as Tessa is awake, it doesnât matter how long it takes for the recovery.â Sofia nodded with a smile as she was also relieved.
Stefania eavesdropped from the side and felt that Sofiaâs words were reasonable too. Just like Sofia, Stefania smiled as she nodded. âYes, as long as Tessaâs awake, recovery will much. be easier. I was also worried that the child wonât be able to make it too.
âWhen I heard that Tessa was in a car accident, I was terrified because mother and child wouldâ¦
Thank heavens they are both alright in the end.â
A scared Sofia also patted her chest. Nicholas looked at the emotion in her eyes and thanked her gratefully. âThank you for worrying about Tessa.â
When they saw this, Stefania and Tobias felt that Sofia was indeed a great master. Gregory walked up to Sofia and held her hand. âGranny Sofia, you donât have to worry anymore.
It wonât be long before sheâs recovered.â As she looked at the cute child in front of her, she gave a slight nod. âYup. Your mommy will make a speedy recovery.â
Just like that, the group of people chatted quietly in the corridor. Then, Stefania asked, âNicholas, have you told Tessa about the babyâs condition? You canât let her be worried.â
âYup, I did. When sheâs discharged, she can have a visit.â He roughly described what he told Tessa.
Gregory was just as eager as he looked over. âDid you mention me?â
âYup.â Nicholas looked at the child and chuckled. Gregory was extremely happy and wished his mother a speedy recovery.
After chatting for a while, Nicholas noticed that it was getting late and made arrangements with Sofia.
âItâs late, so Iâll ask my brother to send you back. Once Tessa is out of the ICU, Iâll give you a ring.
Would that be okay?â
âSure.â Sofia agreed on the spot. After all, she was aware that she couldnât help much even if she remained. Not to mention that Tessa had to stay in the ICU for a while and couldnât accept visitors, so there was no point for Sofia to stay back.
Furthermore, being in the hospital was not good for Sofia since there were many people around. When he saw this, Nicholas turned toward Kieran and informed him. âSend Tessaâs master home and take good care of her.â
âChill. Iâll send her back to the hotel in one piece. Kieran gave his promise. Gregory also waved adieu obediently. âSee you, Granny Sofia.â âSee you. You must listen to your dad.â Sofia then waved before saying goodbye to Stefania and Timothy.
