Always Been Yours

Chapter 1341

Once Tessa arrived home, exhaustion was the only thing she felt. Since nothing seemed wrong with her body, she stopped worrying.

She continued training for two more days.

Suddenly, she realized her legs started aching really badly. Hiss...

She gently massaged her thighs, but she could not help frowning as the pain turned into agony.

It felt like her leg was not recovering and was instead getting worse. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Her physical therapy sessions during the day felt so much more strenuous than before as if she was under a lot of pressure.

That evening, after Tessa coaxed Gordon through dinner and into bed, she rested on the bed and gently kneaded her legs.

To avoid waking him up, she was biting her lip the entire time to endure the discomfort radiating through her legs.

When Nicholas entered the room, he found her face covered in a thin sheen of sweat while her skin looked rather pale in a sickly way.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing much. My exercise schedule was changed a few days ago. My legs are so sore from the new routine." She then smiled at him in an attempt to reassure him.

How could he not worry, though? He immediately frowned. "Since you don't feel well, you should rest tomorrow. Don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay." Tessa nodded in agreement.

Even if he had not told her to rest, she had planned to do so anyway.

In spite of her agreement, he was still worried about her. He waited until she fell asleep before contacting Edward.

"Investigate the situation around Tessa's physical therapy sessions. Why was her treatment plan suddenly changed? Show the new plans to other doctors and have them check for problems."

"Yes." Edward hung up soon after.

......

The next morning, Nicholas woke up early and thoughtfully helped Tessa to get ready.

After enjoying breakfast with his family, he then headed to work.

Soon after he arrived at the office, Edward entered Nicholas' office with a knock on the door.

"The investigation you requested last night is done, Mr. Sawyer. Dr. Clayton, Madam Tessa's primary doctor, was given a chance to go overseas for professional development at the last minute. Hence, he wrote down a treatment plan that she could use later. However..."

"What is it?" Nicholas stared at Edward as he asked.

"There's something wrong with the plan," Edward answered honestly. "I asked the other doctors last night. Everyone said the plan was unreasonable as it pushes her to exercise for too long. It would injure the nerves and affect her ability to walk later."

As expected, Nicholas' face darkened into an extremely ugly look as soon as Edward said that. It was evident someone was scheming against Tessa.

"Have you contacted Dr. Clayton yet?" His eyes shone with a cold gleam.

The sight made Edward jump as he hurriedly said, "The doctor changed his contact number after leaving the country."

"Go to the hospital and talk to the director then!" Nicholas' voice was deep as he snapped out the order.

Edward did not dare dally a moment longer and immediately went away to contact the hospital and request the doctor's latest contact number.

Soon, he was able to contact Dr. Clayton.

When Dr. Clayton knew why Edward was calling him, he was shocked. "Mr. Jackson, has there been some misunderstanding? I never gave Madam Tessa any new exercise plans. I have always set her physical therapy sessions at the basic 30 minutes."

After hanging up, Edward immediately told Nicholas what Dr. Clayton said.

Nicholas' handsome face darkened once more when he was done listening. This time, he was absolutely sure someone was targeting Tessa.

"Ready the car. Bring me home."

He would overlook nothing concerning Tessa's health and safety.

After ten or so minutes, the two men arrived back at Dynasty Gardens.

The dark face on Nicholas' face and his abrupt return had Tessa worried. "What happened?"

Standing beside him was Edward who was perceptive enough to step forward and explain everything.

What she heard stunned her.

She never imagined someone at the hospital would wish harm on her and use such a despicable method to achieve their goals.

Then, Tessa heard Nicholas angrily asking, "Who gave you the new plan?"
