Chapter 808

Chapter 808 A Separated Mother and Son Standing there, Andrew let Remus scold him freely as it was their fault that Gregory got sick.

Following that, Remus went upstairs to take a look at Gregory.

“Great-grandpa, you’re here.” The child smiled widely upon seeing him. Even so, he seemed quite weak.

This sight made Remus’ heart pang. “Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

“I’m just a bit dizzy. Other than that, I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”

In Vienna, Tessa just woke up and freshened up.

When she ate her breakfast, she had the habit of contacting Nicholas through a video call, so she came to know about Gregory falling ill as well.

“How’s Gregory? Did he go to the hospital?”

“Since he doesn’t like hospitals, I summoned the family’s doctor to the house. I fed him his medicine when I came back. He still looks quite spritely. He’s sleeping after speaking with grandfather,” Nicholas told Tessa roughly regarding his situation.

Although Tessa became more relieved, she was still worried. “Greg’s always been healthy. Why did this happen all of a sudden?”

Besides, she could not accompany her son when he was sick and that made her feel very guilty.

Seeing Tessa’s pained expression, Nicholas already knew what his wife was thinking.

“You don’t need to worry too much; Gregory’s fine. You should go to the orchestra now. I’ll call you later when he gets better.”

Left with no choice, she could only nod before hanging up and heading to the orchestra.

Even so, Gregory’s condition was still on her mind throughout the whole day. It was almost daybreak when his fever finally went away.

Looking at the time, Nicholas knew that Tessa had returned from practice, so he gave her another call.

“Nicholas, how’s Greg?” As soon as the video call connected, Tessa asked concerningly.

The man comforted her by assuring, “Gregory’s fine now. You can rest assured.”

“That’s good to know.”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Tessa remained guilty inside. “Under normal circumstances, I should be with the both of you right now. Yet, Gregory’s sick and I can’t do anything about it. This is very inappropriate of me.”

“This has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself. Besides, if we’re really talking about responsibility, it’s my fault anyway for not taking proper care of Greg.”

Nicholas continued, “What you need to do now is take good care of yourself and the baby inside your belly. Don’t make me and your son worried.”

To that, she nodded.

A while later, Gregory finally woke up. Although he was still feeling somewhat weak, his thoughts were clear. Nicholas then accompanied him for breakfast before bringing him his medicine.

Facing it with disdain, Gregory asked, “Daddy, I’m already fine, so can I not take the medicine?”

“No can do.” Nicholas rejected him outright. Thinking that he might have been too harsh, he gently added, “If you take your medicine, I’ll let you call Mommy.”

After hearing that he could communicate with his mother, Gregory closed his eyes and took the medicine despite hating it. His face full of fear and disdain when doing so amused Nicholas greatly before he permitted him to call Tessa.

“Mommyyyyy!” Gregory held the phone while calling his mother out in a very whiny way.

Tessa, who saw Gregory, immediately asked, “You’re awake, sweetheart. How are you feeling? Is there anywhere that still hurts?”

“I feel just fine. You don’t need to worry at all, Mommy,” stating that obediently, he said smugly, “Mommy, I was very brave earlier. I swallowed all those bitter medicines in one go.”

“Really? You are the best, sweetheart.” She praised her son smilingly while kissing him through the screen.

This made Gregory extremely happy.

Standing beside, Nicholas looked at them dotingly.

It was then Tessa reminded him, “Gregory, you need to take your medicine. That’s the only way you can get well faster. Then, Mommy won’t have to worry about you.”
