Chapter 589

“Tessa’s boyfriend has such a strong aura about him. He almost gave me a heart-attack.” Mona muttered Despite what she said, she was more envious of Tessa because she got herself such an amazing boyfriend.

Speeding the whole way, Nicholas returned to the villa in the shortest time. Regardless of Tessa’s objections, he insisted on carrying her out of the car.

When Gregory saw his own father carrying Tessa back, he immediately rushed forward in concern.

“Daddy, what happened to Miss Tessa?”

“She fell sick. Don’t annoy her,” Nicholas said, taking big strides toward the staircase with Tessa in his arms.

In between, he also instructed the butler to ask the kitchen to prepare some light dinner and have it delivered to the room upstairs.

Seeing that, Gregory followed behind in his little steps. In the bedroom, Nicholas placed Tessa on the bed softly, as if she was a porcelain doll.

Although helpless, Tessa felt very sweet in her heart. Then, she heard him speaking in concern in his husky voice.

“Do you want to take a nap? I’ll wake you up when dinner’s ready.”

“No, thanks. I’m not feeling sleepy now,” she answered, shaking her head.

answer Just then, Gregory joined them as well and said in his baby voice, “Miss Tessa, where are you feeling unwell? I’ll blow on it for you.”

The smile on Tessa’s face turned even sweeter when she heard his innocent words. Even though she was a little sick, there was a warm feeling swimming in her chest when she saw the man and child by her side.

A short while later, the butler brought in dinner.

While eating, Tessa felt a little bad that Nicholas and Gregory were eating the same bland food as her.

“Actually, both of you don’t have to eat as light as me.”

“It’s okay.”

“That’s how we like it!”

They said simultaneously.

Gazing at them, Tessa knew that they merely wanted to accompany her, and she felt very touched by their gesture.

After dinner, Nicholas brought her the medication for fever. “Take this medicine. You’ll feel better afterward,” he said, passing her the medication and water.

Seeing that, Tessa knitted her brows slightly and didn’t reach out to take the things from his hands, as though she was unwilling.

Nicholas couldn’t help but smirk when he saw this because the look on her face now was exactly the same as Gregory’s when he refused to take any medicine.

Taking a seat on the side of the bed, he teased, “What is it? You’re still afraid of taking medicine at this age?”

“Who says I’m afraid of taking medicine?” she refuted despite her true feelings.

The smirk on Nicholas’ widened, then Gregory came over, comforting Tessa in his childish manner, “Miss Tessa be obedient and take your medication. Only then will you get well.”

“The cheek of you to say that to me when you’re afraid to take medicine yourself.” Giggling, she pinched the tip of his nose teasingly. Peering at the pill in Nicholas’ palm, she said in a pitiful voice, “But this pill is really bitter.”

Hearing that, Gregory looked as though he was helpless with Tessa and continued, “How about this? If you take your medicine obediently, I’ll give you a candy. After having the candy, you won’t find it bitter anymore.”

Although Tessa couldn’t decide if she should laugh or cry, she felt very warm at heart. Stroking the hair on Gregory’s forehead, she agreed reluctantly. “Okay, I’ll take the medicine.”

He nodded, and after watching her take the medicine, he really fished out a candy from his pocket. Not only that, he even removed the wrapper for her and fed her the candy, urging, “Miss Tessa, take the candy quickly. It won’t be bitter after this.”

Seeing how impatient he seemed, she took the candy with her mouth but thought that he was sweeter than the candy itself.

Next to them, Nicholas watched their entire interaction with affection in his eyes.

After taking the candy, Tessa went back to bed and fell asleep in a daze a few minutes later.

Then, Nicholas took Gregory outside because he was worried that he would disturb Tessa’s rest.

However, Tessa’s fever didn’t subside later and turned even worse instead.

On the big, soft bed, her face, which was lacking in color earlier, was now blushing abnormally. Sweat broke out all over her, and her dark hair was plastered on her cheeks as she lay there in a daze.
