Chapter 455
Always Been Yours
Chapter 455 Tessaâs Surprise (2)
âNicholas, whatâs wrong?â Timothyâs puzzled voice came through the phone; his raspy voice indicated that he had just woken up.
With urgency in his tone, Nicholas asked, âTim, can you contact your sister? Iâve called her all night but the calls wouldnât get through.â
âMy sisterâs missing?â Timothy was startled.
Nicholas murmured, âIâm not sure. Try contacting your sister first. If you canât, then weâll cross the bridge when we get there.â
Saying that, Nicholas hung up the phone.
Timothy immediately jumped out of his bed and dialed his sisterâs number.
âSorry, the number youâve dialed is unavailable.â
It was when he dialed the number several times consecutively only to find the same mechanical voice answering him that he started panicking.
Perhaps it was due to him being beside himself with worry, for his hand that was holding the phone started to tremble lightly.
Soon after, he called Nicholas and said in a panic, âNicholas, I canât reach my sister either. Do you think something has happened to her?â
Nicholasâ heart sank as a result of Timothyâs call.
Too anxious to know what to do, Timothy started to blame himself. âDamn it. If I had known this would happen, I wouldâve never agreed for her to stay abroad alone in the first place.â
Hearing Timothyâs rant, Nicholas also regretted his decision not to bring Tessa along with him when he was coming back to the country earlier.
âItâs pointless for all these now. The important thing we should focus on is to find a way to reach your sister.â
Nicholas forced himself to stay calm. However, anyone would have caught the slight shaking of his voice should they have listened to him carefully. âTim, I have nothing on me right now. Instead, you take a trip to Vienna and see if you can find your sister there. Contact me again when you have information on the situation there.â
âAlright, Iâll book the flight immediately.â
Timothy agreed. He then hung up and proceeded to book the flight online.
He understood why Nicholas couldnât personally make the trip to search for his sister, for Remus was in a bad condition and had to be hospitalized recently.
Later that day, he had managed to book his flight to Vienna and was packing his bag for the trip while calling his sisterâs phone number at the same time.
Naturally, he still couldnât reach Tessa.
Soon after, Timothy was done packing his things and was ready to leave for the airport. However, the calls that had not been able to reach his sister finally got through the moment he left the house.
âTim, whatâs wrong?â
Tessaâs puzzled voice came through the phone, yet one could hear the suppressed joy in her voice should one listen to her closely.
Unfortunately, Timothy did not, for he was surprised that his call to his sister finally got through.
âTess! What have you been doing? Your phone has been unreachable for a while now. Do you know how worried Nicholas and I were? Iâve even booked a flight to Vienna to look for you!â He burst out and rambled on like a machine gun.
When Tessa processed what her brother told her, she asked in a panic, âYouâre in Vienna now?â
âNo, but I was just leaving for the airport.â
Timothy responded in irritation.
However, Tessa was not bothered by it and sighed in relief instead. âThank god. Good thing you didnât leave for Vienna. You donât have to go to Vienna, so hurry up and refund the ticket.â
âWhy?â
âHehe. Thatâs because Iâve followed the orchestra back to Xerthania,â Tessa announced cheerfully over the phone.
Timothy was taken aback and asked in surprise, âYouâve returned to the country? Where are you now?
Iâll come over and pick you up.â
âIâve only just left the airport. You can pick me up at the Hanson Hotel. Iâll be following the orchestra until they check in there.â
âAlright, Iâll leave for the hotel now.â
Timothy hung up and returned his suitcase back to his room before immediately leaving for the hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, he called Tessa again. âTess, Iâm downstairs right now.â
âWait for me. Iâll come down immediately.â Tessa hung up the phone after saying that.
After a little while, Tessa, dressed in a long-sleeved dress, walked out of the hotel.
âTim.â
She looked at her dashing brother, who was standing by his sedan, and immediately went over to him with the biggest smile on her face.
âTess!â
