Chapter 1288

The old lady couldn’t find any words and she simply let out uncontrollable sobs. The nanny sighed at the sight of Amber. “If you’re really afraid of death, you should stop being so stubborn. You should go along with the doctor’s treatment and you should stop hiding your medication away,” the nanny muttered.

“You shouldn’t blame Mr. Reinhart for being too harsh either. Miss Reinhart has been hospitalized now and he has to take care of both her and the company. He’s probably exhausted! Furthermore, even though he claims that he doesn’t care about you, he still ends up looking for you when you disappear.

Both Mr. and Miss Reinhart are lovely people, so you should stop having biased judgments toward them. They are probably the only ones who care about your life at this point. Just take my advice, Old Mrs. Reinhart.

You should start taking care of yourself instead of engaging in all these self-sabotaging behaviors. If you continue on like this, you’re going to end up ruining your relationship with the two people who see you as family,” the nanny said.

Amber had a conflicted look in her eyes as she listened to the nanny. She didn’t say much after the nanny finished her speech.

Meanwhile, Tessa had no idea what was going on, but she felt a sense of resentment toward Amber.

“Why can’t Old Mrs. Reinhart just keep the peace for one day? There are already so many things going on.

I just wish she’d stop messing around.” Tessa didn’t have the energy to care for Amber, and Timothy had to take care of both Tessa and the company, so he was stretched thin as well. Old Mrs. Reinhart might not care about Timothy, but I feel sorry for him.

Nicholas frowned when he heard his wife’s complaints. He didn’t like it when there were things that bothered her. “You should stop caring about this. I’ll handle it,” he urged as he pulled her into his arms.

Then, he called for his guards to enter the room. “What is it, President Sawyer?” the guard asked as he stood politely by the doorway.

“I want you to send two of our men over to stand guard outside Old Mrs. Reinhart’s ward. I don’t want that old lady to leave the room unless she has to go for a checkup,” he ordered.

“Roger that!” The guard nodded before leaving the room. Tessa felt touched to see what Nicholas just did-she felt like he was the most thoughtful and meticulous man ever. “I’m sorry for troubling you again,” she mumbled as she wrapped her arms around his waist and gazed at him lovingly.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it,” he replied in a gentle tone as he met her gaze. Then, he lowered his head to plant a soft kiss on her rather pale lips. Tessa beamed at him. All of a sudden, Nicholas changed the topic. “Let’s stop talking about this. Why don’t we take a look at the baby? You wanted to see him, didn’t you?” Nicholas pulled his phone out and tapped on his photo album.

Tessa was still on bed rest and she wasn’t allowed to move around. She felt some sense of regret as she didn’t get to see her baby in the past few days. Even though she never voiced her feelings, Nicholas could sense her yearning whenever he saw her zoning out on her own. As such, Nicholas took a few more pictures when he went to visit the baby.

Tessa couldn’t seem to tear her eyes away from the baby when she first saw pictures of him. The baby was lying in an incubator, his cheeks flushed and his mouth slightly open. He was a tiny baby and the sight of him made Tessa’s heart melt.

“He’s adorable, isn’t he?” Nicholas chatted with Tessa as he scrolled through the images on his phone.

“Mom and Dad told me that the baby looked just like Gregory when Gregory was younger.”

Nicholas brought that up intentionally as he wanted to see Tessa’s response. However, the woman didn’t seem to think much of his statement. “Maybe your genes are just really strong, she joked.

Timothy nearly let out a laugh when he heard Tessa’s words. He could tell why Nicholas had brought this topic up. Nicholas is probably trying to see if Tessa will realize something. However, it seems like she’s never going to realize anything if we don’t tell her the truth.

Soon enough, they went through all the photos. Tessa didn’t feel fulfilled even after seeing all the images. “Maybe you should take a video the next time, she suggested.

“Sure. I’ll do that,” Nicholas replied with a fond nod. Tessa grinned happily for a while, but tears then began to form in her eyes. “I’m so glad that my baby is fine. Otherwise, I might fall apart even if I managed to survive the accident.”
