Chapter 207

Upon hearing those words, Tessa stepped to the side and said, “Why don’t you come inside first? Greg

has fallen asleep.”

Nicholas nodded. “Thanks.”

With her consent, he walked into her bedroom and saw Gregory sleeping soundly. Thus, he was in no

hurry to bring Gregory home. He walked out of the bedroom and lowered his voice. “Do you have

anything to eat? I’ve not eaten anything since lunch, so I’m having some gastric issues.”

She frowned slightly when she heard those words. This man is torturing his stomach again.

During her stay at his home previously, she often saw Andrew preparing some gastric medicine for him.

Andrew mentioned that he rarely ate his meals on time, so he had ruined his stomach. He sure doesn’t

take care of himself when he’s busy.

Fortunately, she had some gastric medicine at home. Quickly taking out the medicine box, she found the

gastric medicine and poured him a glass of water. At the same time, she couldn’t stop herself from

asking, “Regardless of how important work is, is it more important than your health?”

He didn’t look disgruntled despite being criticized. However, his gastric issues caused his lips to turn pale

and his expression to become unsightly. He leaned back against the sofa after taking the medicine and

closed his eyes to rest.

Looking at him in this state, she couldn’t help having complicated feelings. It was way past dinner timer.

Besides, greasy meals did not suit those with gastric issues. It was better if he had something light and

bland instead.

“Are you okay with noodles?” she asked softly.

“Yeah, thanks.” He nodded.

She went straight to the kitchen and cooked a simple bowl of noodles for him.

When Gregory went to sleep, Timothy returned to his room and prepared to work. Although it had been

fun to play with Gregory for a few hours, it did not change the fact that he still had work to do. He was

writing the codes for a brand-new software when he heard some noises coming from the outside all of a

sudden. It sounded like they had guests, so he came out to investigate.

He was surprised to see Nicholas lying on the sofa. “President Sawyer? Why are you here?”

Nicholas opened his eyes and massaged his temples, looking like he was feeling unwell. Only then did

he answer the question. “I came to pick Greg up. Thank you for helping to take care of my child today.”

Timothy waved his hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. Young Master Gregory is very well-behaved. He

doesn’t make a fuss, so we like him very much. It’s not a big deal even if he stays here overnight. You

didn’t need to come all this way to pick him up. But, why were you so late?”

Nicholas replied, “Something came up in the company. I had just finished dealing with it.”

Judging from Nicholas’ tired face-seemingly in poor health-and the sounds in the kitchen, Timothy

guessed that his sister was probably making something for Nicholas to eat at the moment. So, he said,

“In that case, you don’t need to go back after you finish eating. Why don’t you rest here for the night

instead? Going back and forth is very tiring after all. Besides, Young Master Gregory is already asleep.

There’s no need to wake him up.”

At this time, Tessa walked over with the noodles. “Eat something first.”

She noticed that Nicholas was massaging his knee, whereupon a scene from the past flashed through

her mind. She vaguely recalled seeming something similar back at the hospital. At the time, Nicholas

explained that he had injured his leg before. As a result, his leg would hurt if he was overly busy or if it

was a rainy day.

Andrew would often arrange acupuncture appointments for him in the past, but it was likely that the

appointments had been put on hold recently because he was far too busy. His condition must have flared

up again today,

She added, “Just stay here tonight. You probably have not received acupuncture in a long time. I will

perform acupuncture for you after you eat. You should also take a medicinal bath while you’re at it.”

“Okay,” he replied lightly.

When Timothy looked at the natural interaction between these two people, he couldn’t help feeling that

something was strange. How does Tess know that Nicholas needed acupuncture? Not to mention how

naturally she offered to help him perform acupuncture! Didn’t she clearly state that she would distance

herself from the father-and-son pair and slowly remove herself from their lives? But, it looks like that is

not the case.

Before he could ask any of those questions, she interrupted the barrage of questions in his heart. “Tim,

can you get me the medicinal herbs and needles, please?”

After being interrupted, he couldn’t bring himself to ask anything anymore despite all the questions in his

heart. Hence, he nodded and obediently returned to the bedroom to bring the items she had asked for.
