Chapter 133
Always Been Yours
It was her maiden performance after her promotion, but she couldnât show up because of her injury.
She knew recovery would be a long process, and she would lose a lot of chances to perform. Maybe someone will have taken over after I go back. If that happened, it would be hard for her to take her position back after she made her return. Now Iâm further away from the stage I dream of.
She only pretended to be calm after she knew about her injury so she wouldnât worry Timothy.
However, when she was left alone to ponder about her situation, she was overwhelmed by sadness.
She wanted to cry her heart out, but she was worried she might wake everyone up, so all she could do was hide under her blanket and shed her tears quietly. Because she didnât want to pressure her wound, she had turned her back to the other bed, so she didnât know that Nicholas was awake.
Nicholas was startled that Tessa was wallowing in her sadness. But after thinking about what Timothy said and combining that with Tessaâs reaction after she found out about her woundâs severity, he knew why she was so sad. Nicholas was a smart man after all. She had gone through a lot today and had been holding it down, so it was natural that she had to vent it all out to heal. Since sheâs crying quietly while everyoneâs asleep, that means she doesnât want everyone to worry.
Hence, Nicholas didnât say anything. All he did was stare at Tessa, who was still crying silently.
After Tessa woke up the next morning, she chatted with Timothy like nothing had happened.
Gregory was awake as well, and he looked happy that Tessa was getting better. âAre you feeling better today, Miss Tessa?â
Tessa nodded. âYes. Thanks for the concern, Greg.â
Gregory was happy to hear that. âGreat. I asked the doctor last night. He said youâll heal up in no time.â
Tessa nodded. âYouâre a good boyâ
Since she was keeping it to herself, this novel âAlways Been Yoursâ daily new chapters update only on www.infobagh.com Nicholas pretended nothing had happened as well. He told Edward to bring breakfast over for Gregory and the Reinhart siblings. After they had breakfast, he said, âIâll go home to get changed. Call me if you need anything. Iâll come back shortly.â
Tessa disagreed. âYou donât have to do that, Mr. Sawyer. Iâm feeling better now. You have a lot of work to do, so please go to your company. You donât have to stay with me.â She paused for a moment. âAnd I was the one who caused this, so I was supposed to save Gregory. Weâre even now.â .
Gregory knew what she was getting at, so he hugged Tessa. âNo, Miss Tessa. Itâs not even. You got hurt because you tried to save me. Itâs only right that we take care of you.â He looked at his father imploringly. Say something, Daddy. Sheâs chasing you away now. Does that mean she doesnât want me too? I canât let that happen.
Nicholas nodded. âYouâre not to blame. Gregory was the one who insisted on coming with you. You did not make the offer, and the kidnappers are my familyâs enemies. That has nothing to do with you as well. Even if you hadnât taken him along, they would still have found a way to kidnap him. In any case, you saved Greg.â
Tessa was stunned, and she was at a loss for words. But I did lose Gregory while he was under my care. I canât just shirk my responsibility.
Nicholas looked at the boy. âAre you coming home with me?â
âNo. I want to stay with Miss Tessa. You can go home if you want to, Daddy, but Iâm staying.â Gregory couldnât tug on Tessa, so he held the edge of her bed. He didnât want to be taken home, and he looked at his father adamantly.
