Chapter 96

“I’m fine, Andrew. Thanks!” Tessa expressed her gratitude and slowly sat up straight in bed.

At the same time, Gregory quickly came closer and gazed at her in a concerned manner with his

watery eyes. “Are you alright, Miss Pretty Lady? Do you still feel unwell?”

Tessa smiled and comforted the boy. “I feel a lot better now. Although I’m still a little dizzy, I think it’ll go

away in a while. Thanks for asking, Sweetheart.”

“I’m glad you’re fine. I don’t want you to fall sick, Miss Pretty Lady.” Greg heaved a sigh of relief upon

hearing Tessa’s words.

Tessa’s heart was melted by Gregory’s thoughtfulness. A few moments later, she turned her attention

to Nicholas and apologetically said, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t conduct my classes with Greg today due to

my condition, President Sawyer.”

Nicholas didn’t take it to heart and calmly said, “It’s okay. Just remember not to swim when it’s late at

night. After all, you know your own body better than anyone else.”

Tessa was reminded of what happened the night before and nodded awkwardly with her blushed

cheeks. “Sure.”

Nicholas’s eyes darkened because he was soon reminded of the call that Tessa’s grandmother had

made earlier. After a brief hesitation, he decided to go ahead and tell her about it. “Your grandmother

called you a number of times this morning and demanded that you go back, saying she has something

to speak to you about.”

Tessa was stunned when he heard Nicholas’s words. Grandmother? Is he talking about the old lady

from the Reinharts? At the thought of Amber, Tessa could be seen with her eyes turning indifferent, her

voice sounding as cold as ice. “Alright, I heard you.”

Despite Tessa’s affirmative response, it was clear that she was reluctant to return home. Deep down,

she was unhappy with Amber, whom Nicholas was referring to as her grandmother.

That old lady is not my grandma! She is just some old hag who threw a weight around and treated me

and my brother like nothing. Thanks to her, my mother lost her place in the Reinhart Family. What was

worse was that she encouraged my father to cheat on my mother by feeding him lies that my brother

and I were not his children. Because of that, my father has always hated me and Timothy.

From the moment Tessa was cast away from the Reinhart Family, she only considered her brother as

the only family member she ever had and swore to never cross paths with the Reinharts ever again, let

alone reconcile with them.

On the other hand, Nicholas could tell the indifference in Tessa’s eyes but knew that she was still wise

enough not to confront the Reinharts alone, so he said nothing about what he saw. Instead, he said,

“Alright, now that you’re feeling better, I suppose it is time for us to have lunch together. Because of

you, Greg got so worried that he didn’t even take breakfast. So, you must take care of yourself, in order

not to worry him.”

As soon as Tessa heard what Nicholas said, her glacial eyes were filled with warmth once again. She

then gazed at Gregory and spoke with a gentle voice. “Sweetheart, that’s very kind of you. I love you so

much! I promise I’ll take my medication on time and make sure not to worry you, okay?”

“That’s awesome! Alright, I love you too, Miss Pretty Lady!” Gregory nodded rapidly, his eyes lighting

up with exhilaration.

After lunch, Tessa seemed more energized upon eating. Since she had been sleeping the whole

morning, she decided not to sleep anymore but instead spent her time playing lego with Gregory in the

games’ room.

In the meantime, Nicholas went out and headed to his office, thinking Tessa should be fine from that

moment on. Later that afternoon, Tessa’s phone was bombarded with incoming phone calls from none

other than Amber once again.

In fact, when Amber returned to the Reinhart Residence earlier that morning, she ran into Sophia, who

exaggerated the matter about Silas and Lauren’s arrest and blamed it all on Tessa.

Upon hearing the news, Amber was taken over by her anger as she condemned Tessa for putting her

only son through so much suffering. How could Tessa do something like this to her father?! Where is

her sense of morality and decency? It was then that Amber reached for her phone and gave Tessa

order to summon the latter and give her a piece of her mind

Nevertheless, Amber’s attempt to summon Tessa was thwarted by Nicholas, who brushed off her with

an excuse that she was at work. When it was finally the afternoon, Amber’s impatience made her

restless and prompted her to make the call again. Meanwhile, Tessa eventually grew so annoyed that

she went ahead and blacklisted Amber’s number after several irritating phone calls. Out of sight, out of

mind!

On the other hand, Tessa’s action didn’t sit well with Amber, who sat on the couch with a twisted facial

expression. She then cursed Tessa with a sarcastic tone. “You b*tch! How dare you just block my

contact like that! Great! You’re starting to show me your backbone now!”
