That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 133

Chapter 133 It was her maiden performance after her promotion, but she couldn’t 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 I’m further away from the stage I dream of. She only pretended to be calm after she knew about her injury so she wouldn’t 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 didn’t want to pressure her wound, she had turned her back to the other bed, so she didn’t 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 Tessa’s reaction after she found out about her wound’s 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 she’s crying quietly while everyone’s asleep, that means she doesn’t want everyone to worry.

Hence, Nicholas didn’t 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. “Are you feeling better today, Miss Tessa?” Tessa nodded. “Yes. Thanks for the concern, Greg.” Gregory was happy to hear that. “Great. I asked the doctor last night. He said you’ll heal up in no time.” Tessa nodded. “You’re a good boy.” Since she was keeping it to herself, 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, “I’ll go home to get changed. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come back shortly.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Tessa disagreed. “You don’t have to do that, Mr. Sawyer. I’m feeling better now. You have a lot of work to do, so please go to your company. You don’t have to stay with me.” She paused for a moment. “And I was the one who caused this, so I was supposed to save Gregory. We’re even now.” . Gregory knew what she was getting at, so he hugged Tessa. “No, Miss Tessa. It’s not even. You got hurt because you tried to save me. It’s only right that we take care of you.” He looked at his father imploringly. Say something, Daddy. She’s chasing you away now. Does that mean she doesn’t want me too? I can’t let that happen. Nicholas nodded. “You’re not to blame. Gregory was the one who insisted on coming with you. You did not make the offer, and the kidnappers are my family’s enemies. That has nothing to do with you as well. Even if you hadn’t taken him along, they would still have found a way to kidnap him. In any case, you saved Greg.” Tessa was stunned, and she was at a loss for words. But I did lose Gregory while he was under my care. I can’t just shirk my responsibility. Nicholas looked at the boy. “Are you coming home with me?” “No. I want to stay with Miss Tessa. You can go home if you want to, Daddy, but I’m staying.” Gregory couldn’t tug on Tessa, so he held the edge of her bed. He didn’t want to be taken home, and he looked at his father adamantly.
