Chapter 819 An Odd Discovery

“I’ll eat with you and then we’ll rest together.” However, Tessa remained a lack of appetite when she

was at the dinner table despite her claims.

Nicholas did not persuade her any further after seeing her placing down her cutleries after a few bites.

Following his meal, he directed the butler to have the chef prepare some soup for Tessa to eat when

she awoke; she was completely unaware of this.

When she returned to her room, she slept more soundly, possibly because Nicholas was there.

What she was unaware of was that he had requested that the butler light some sleeping incense in the

room ahead of time.

With enticing tenderness in his eyes, he looked at Tessa’s sleeping face.

“Have a good sleep.” He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead before hugging her to

sleep. Not long after, his phone vibrated on his bedside and woke him up; it was a phone call from

Edward.

“I’ve arrived in Vienna, President Sawyer.”

In response, Nicholas hummed and asked him to come to the villa right away before hanging up the

phone.

He put away his phone and cast a sidelong glance at Tessa, who was still sleeping on the bed, before

gently tucking her in and quietly exiting the room.

About thirty minutes later, Edward arrived at the villa. He went straight to the study room after learning

Nicholas’ location from the butler.

“President Sawyer.” He entered the room after knocking.

“How’s Kathleen’s investigation coming along?” Nicholas asked coldly.

“I was going to report this. Kathleen died in an unusual way, as I discovered.” Edward gave Nicholas a

solemn look.

“What exactly is going on?” After hearing his words, Nicholas squinted and gave Edward a cold stare.

“I discovered that Rorion paid Kathleen a visit two days before she died. According to the prison guard,

Kathleen did not appear to have any violent reactions or negative thoughts at the time, but that night,

she suddenly lost her breath.” Edward revealed everything he had discovered.

“Are you certain Kathleen has stopped breathing?” Nicholas enquired aloud.

“I went to look for the prison guard in-charge and he confirmed that she stopped breathing at that time.”

Edward nodded and he suddenly had an epiphany, so he solemnly said, “President Sawyer, there is

one more thing that I believe is very wrong.”

“What is it?”

“By law, Kathleen should have had an autopsy to determine the cause of death because she died in

prison for no apparent reason. The prison guard, on the other hand, stated that Rorion removed

Kathleen’s body without waiting for the forensic identification.”

The more he spoke, the more he realized Rorion’s behavior was unusual.

“Please send someone to look into Rorion,” Nicholas asked, his eyes darkening.

“I’ve got it. I’ve dispatched someone to keep an eye on him.”

“Very well. Please get ready and accompany me to the hospital later to visit Hathaway.”

Edward nodded and left.

With that, Nicholas stood up and exited the study room as well.

“Miss Tessa is still asleep; allow no one to bother her. Please contact me as soon as she wakes up,” he

said to the butler. He then immediately left the villa for the hospital.

“Oh, no. Why is Mr. Sawyer troubling himself to come all the way and see me?” Hathaway asked in the

ward, her eyes complex and slightly mocking.

He frowned slightly, recognizing the resentment in her tone.

It was clear from Hathaway’s haggard expression that she lacked elegance from the past. He was

aware that Kathleen’s death had dealt this woman a devastating blow.

He pursed his lips and stated, “I understand your grief as a mother, but I hope you can be more

rational.”

Who knew his words would make Hathaway instantly emotional?

“Mr. Sawyer, my only daughter is no longer alive! How do you expect me to be rational about

anything?!” She clenched her teeth and glared at Nicholas with her bloodshot, hysterical eyes.

At the sight of that, Blaire became concerned and stepped forward to intervene. “Mr. Sawyer, Miss

Hathaway is in a very unstable condition right now, so you should stop irritating her with these words.”
