Chapter 130
Always Been Yours
After finding out that Gregory was safe and at the hospital, Tobias and Stefania quickly came over.
everything.â
Gregory cried again when he saw his grandparents. He backed away a little from his fatherâs embrace and hugged his grandmother, and he sobbed.
Stefania was worried. âDonât just stand there. Get someone to check on Gregory.â
Gregory sobbed. âIâm fine, Grandma. But Miss Tessaâs badly hurt, and Iâm really scared, Grandma.â
Stefania was heartbroken seeing him so sad, and she patted his back to comfort him. âItâs alright, Greg.
Miss Tessa will be fine. Itâs alright. Donât cry, Gregory. Sheâll be fine. Everythingâs okay now.â She looked at her sons. âWhereâs the culprit?â
Kieran answered, âArrested and detained. Donât worry. Iâll make sure they pay the price for hurting Gregory.â
âYouâd better.â Stefaniaâs face fell. She almost died when she heard that Gregory was kidnapped. He was her precious grandson, but those kidnappers took him away. I will not let this slide. They must pay the price.
Everyone nodded. An hour later, the light above the operating theatreâs doors went out, and Timothy went over to the entrance to talk to the doctor. âIs she alright, doctor?â he asked anxiously.
The doctor answered, âYes, but her shoulder is heavily wounded. Itâs a bit cracked.â
All the color disappeared from Timothyâs face. âCan she still play the violin?â
âNot for now,â the doctor said. âShe has to rest, and she canât use her shoulder, so donât ask her to lift anything heavy.â Timothy looked upset, so the doctor said, âItâs fortunate that sheâs not in any danger. If Tessa was taken to a ward, and she looked as pale as a sheet. Her eyes were tightly shut, but she was frowning, possibly from the pain, and it pained Timothy to see her like that. âTessa dreams to be a musician, and she loves the violin. Will the orchestra take her like this? The performance is next month, and she just got promoted to assistant concertmaster. But thisâ¦â
Nicholas heard Timothy, and he looked at Tessa quietly.
Gregory lay before Tessaâs bed and stared at her. He was tearing up, but he didnât make a fuss. All he did was stare at her.
Stefania felt sad seeing him like that. He just got away from the kidnappers, had the shock of his life, cried the whole afternoon, and now, he was staring at Tessa without even moving. This canât go on. He canât take it. She tugged on him. âCan you come home with me, Greg?â
âNo. I want to stay here with Miss Tessa,â he answered without turning back. Iâm not leaving. What if she wakes up and misses me like how I missed her? If Iâm not here, she would feel sad.
Stefania still tugged on him. âBe good. Sheâll be fine. Sheâs just sleeping.â
âNo, I wonât go home. I want to stay with Miss Tessa. What if Iâm not here when she wants to see me?
Thatâll make her sad.â
