Chapter 1283
Always Been Yours
Soon enough, Tessa fell asleep in Nicholasâ arms. It was a heartwarming sight to see both of them sleeping in each otherâs arms. When Edward came back with Gregory, they were greeted by the sight of the couple sleeping. Edward and Gregory exchanged glances. âShould I send you back to your grandmotherâs place?â Edward asked.
âSure,â Gregory replied with a nod. He was a thoughtful child, and he didnât try to wake his parents up.
He knew how exhausted Nicholas was, and he knew that Nicholas would only be able to rest after knowing that Tessa was safe and well.
Gregory and Edward tiptoed out of the room, and Edward left the guard with some orders. âDonât let anyone go in and disturb President Sawyer and Miss Tessa from now on.â âGot it!â The guards nodded.
Edward led Gregory out of the room after that.
Nicholas woke up at sunrise the next day. He felt like a rock had been lifted off his chest ever since he knew that Tessa was safe, and that allowed him to have a good nightâs sleep.
Hel felt much more awake and alert that morning. When he saw the woman in his arms, he curled his lips into a smile. His gaze was filled with tenderness for the sleeping woman.
After looking at her for a while, he carefully climbed out of bed before he washed himself up.
Tessa woke up a while after that. âHow was your sleep?â Nicholas asked as he helped to clean Tessa up. âI had a great sleep. What about you?â
she asked while beaming at him. âI slept really well, too,â he replied with a nod. Both of them had just freshened up when Edward entered with Gregory following behind.
âDaddy, Mommy!â Gregory let go of Edwardâs hand before he jogged over to his parents with his short stubby legs.
Gregory lifted his head up to stare at Tessa. âDid you rest well last night, Mommy? Did you miss me?â
âI had a really good rest, and I missed you loads, Tessa replied before planting a kiss on Gregoryâs forehead.
Gregory was so happy that his large smile nearly filled up half his face. Edward walked over to Nicholas with some lunchboxes in his hands.
âAndrew told the kitchen to prepare a healthy breakfast for you guys,â Edward explained. It was evident that Edward had taken a trip back to Dynasty Gardens before coming over to the hospital.
Nicholas took the lunchboxes over. âDid you have breakfast?â he asked. âNot yet.â
Edward shook his head. âThen, go have breakfast and come back to report on your work when youâre done,â Nicholas instructed.
âThank you for your concern, President Sawyer.â Edward left the ward with a smile on his face.
Nicholas fussed about it while Tessa ate.
The family laughed and chatted, and joyful laughter. could be heard from the wards. After the meal, Gregory accompanied Tessa to watch TV in bed.
It was around this time that Edward returned to report on his work. Throughout this period, Nicholas hadnât been to the company.
Even though Kieran and their father helped Nicholas, Nicholasâ workload had already piled up like a mountain. Edward segregated these tasks into urgent, important, and less pressing ones and planned to let Nicholas take care of the urgent tasks first.
âPresident Sawyer, you might need to go to the company today. The marketing department needs you for a meeting to draft out the plan for the second half of the year, and after that, you have to meet an important client.â
âThe meeting can be a video conference. As for the client, letâs postpone it for now and tell them Iâm not available.â Nicholas made the relevant arrangements. Although Tessa was gradually recovering, Nicholas was still worried and wanted to stay by her side.
Tessa could tell what he was thinking. âIf itâs an important client, donât reschedule! Iâm fine here; donât delay the companyâs affairs because of me.â
Nicholas was reluctant to leave, but he was eventually persuaded by Tessa. Gregory offered to help out as well. âYou can focus on your work, Daddy. Iâll take care of Mommy.â Nicholas ended up being convinced by the mother and son. Once Nicholas left, Gregory tried his very best to care for and provide for his mother.
âMommy, are you thirsty? Iâll pour you some water, Gregory offered. âDo you want to eat some fruit, Mommy? Iâll wash it for you, the child suggested. âMommyâ¦â
