Chapter 1426 I Didn’t Cry

Stefania gave Kieran another whack as she vented her grievances.

He whined, feeling wronged, "But I had no say in this! I didn't want to hide this, but

Nicholas told me to fake my death. So, he's the one you should be hitting, not me!"

"You just did whatever he told you to do, huh? Are you really that obedient?" she went on

and playfully gave him a few more slaps for good measure.

Their interaction tickled Tessa, and the corner of Nicholas' lips also turned slightly upwards

into an indiscernible smile.

After a while, they stopped fooling around and Gregory took this opportunity to dash

toward Kieran. He gripped Kieran's thigh tightly as he raised his head and said in a

cherubic voice, "Uncle Kieran, welcome back. Don't get into any more accidents after this.

You really gave me a scare this time."

"Don't worry. It won't happen again," Kieran assured tenderly as he ruffled Gregory's dark

hair.

"Nicholas said that you were seriously injured. How are you feeling now?" Tessa asked in

concern.

The elders also turned to him, looking at him with worry in their eyes.

So, he chuckled and waved away their concerns, saying nonchalantly, "I'm alright now,

but I just need to stay in the hospital a few more days for observation."

"That's good. I'm glad that you're alright. Still, take your time and rest well in the hospital

in the next few days," Remus advised solemnly. Kieran knew that his grandfather was

merely looking out for him, so he gave him an obedient nod.

It was then that Tessa thought of Timothy. "By the way, Timothy was distraught that you

were involved in an accident. I'll give him a call right now," she said and took out her

phone to give Timothy a call. Alas, the person who picked up the call was Sabrina.

Although Tessa felt that it was a shame that she couldn't tell Timothy the excellent news

herself, she briefly told Sabrina about the situation and promptly hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, at Reinhart Group, Sabrina placed the phone aside with a broad smile on her

face. She was absolutely bursting with joy when she caught sight of Timothy leaving the

conference room.

When he saw the grin on her face, he inquired curiously, "What's got you so happy? You're

practically grinning from ear to ear."

"Timothy, Kieran is fine. He's alive and at the hospital now," she blurted, immediately

telling him the good news she had just received.

At first, he was stunned by her words. When his mind finally rebooted, he parted his lips as

the following words tumbled from his mouth, "What the hell is going on?"

"Let's pay him a visit in the hospital. I'll fill you in on the way."

Then, she dragged him out of the company and told him everything that Tessa had said

over the phone while they were making their way to the hospital.

Timothy was at a loss for words after listening to the tale. Yet, the moment he laid his eyes

on Kieran, who was alive and kicking, he felt that a great stone had been lifted off his

chest.

Meanwhile, Kieran waved at him happily. "Tessa told me that you cried tears of sadness

when you heard that I was dead."

"That's not true. As we all know from movies, villains don't die that easily, and I know that

you'll survive longer than that," Timothy said, hurriedly denying that he had cried.

Nonetheless, Kieran's return was a joy to everyone, and they stayed in his ward until late

evening.

Eventually, the time came when they had to leave, and Stefania decided, saying, "I'm

staying in the hospital tonight to look after Kieran. The rest of you can go home."

"I'm staying behind with you, then." Tobias came to the same decision after hearing about

hers.

Tessa tried to dissuade them, worried that staying the night at the hospital would tire

them out, "Why don't I stay behind? Both of you haven't had a good rest in days."

"It's okay. You can return home with Nicholas. Speaking of rest, both of you are the ones

who haven't been sleeping well these days. I can see those eyebags all the way from

here," Stefania teased, turning down her offer.

Even Kieran piped up, "Don't worry, Tessa. I'll let Mom and Dad sleep in the ward next door

later."

In the end, Tessa nodded and left with Nicholas, Timothy, and Sabrina.

On the way home, Sabrina and Tessa started chatting about lighter topics. At the same

time, Timothy and Nicholas were deep in discussion about other things, primarily Kieran's

disappearance and Nicholas' part in it.

"Nicholas, I never imagined that your acting skills would be so good that you fooled even

me," Timothy joked with a hint of disgruntlement at the man beside him.

After all, he had been tagging along closely and helping Nicholas out that day when he

retrieved Kieran. Yet, the man before him had the audacity to lie right to his face.
