Chapter 1004 Contemplation

“Did something happen?” “Yeah. Some minor incident. I need to go to the hospital, so can you pick me up? Don’t tell Sofia and the others. I don’t want to put a damper on Kellen’s performance.” Tessa told him about the gist of the situation and hung up.

Nicholas tucked his phone away, his eyes filled with concern. Things must be serious if she needs to bail on an event of this magnitude for a hospital trip. No way she would bail otherwise. He would have teleported over to her side if he could.

But the moment he stood up, Gregory said, “Where are you going, Daddy? Mommy’s going to perform soon.”

Everyone looked at him as well. Ah, she said to keep it a secret. Gotta lie. He came up with an excuse, “I need to settle some work stuff.” Nicholas paused for a moment and looked at Mona. “If I don’t come back in time, can you keep an eye on Greg, Mona?”

Mona nodded. “Sure thing, Mr. Sawyer. You do what you have to do.”

Nicholas nodded and strode all the way backstage. When he entered the dressing room, the first thing he saw was Tessa on a couch, her head covered in a veil. A frown furrowed his brows. “What happened?” He approached Tessa and gave her a look of concern.

The veil stopped her from seeing him clearly, but he obviously sounded worried about her. “It’s nothing. Just some allergy reaction,” she whispered.

That only made Nicholas worry more. “Let me take a look. Is it bad?” He tried to pull the veil away.

“No!” Tessa gasped and moved away while holding the veil.

Nicholas pursed his lips and stared at Tessa without even blinking.

Even through the veil, she could still feel his gaze. Tessa bit her lip and whispered, “It is terrible. I don’t want you to look at me when I’m ugly.”

Nicholas was amused and a little miffed. “Not like I’m gonna complain. Just let me have a look.” He pulled the veil away despite her protests, but the moment he saw her face, his face fell. “How did this happen?”He kept staring at her. Nicholas knew how she must be feeling, and he was angry too.

She noticed his fury and gulped. He’s scary. “Kellen said I’m probably allergic to the makeup products, but we’ll have to go to the hospital to know for sure.” She told him what happened earlier.

Nicholas whipped his phone out and called Edward. “Call the hospital.” He hung up, picked Tessa up, and left for the hospital. Once there, he went straight to the doctor’s office.

“Did you eat any possible allergen?”

“No. There hasn’t been any changes to my diet.”

Tessa answered the doctor’s questions honestly.

Nicholas listened to the conversation, but he thought this whole thing reeked of conspiracy.

He exited the office and called Edward again. “Go backstage and take the makeup products Tessa used. I want them analyzed. And go through security footage. I want to know who tampered with her stuff.”

“Yes, sir.” Edward hung up and went to work.

Due to Tessa’s absence, Kellen gathered all his members and announced, “Due to personal reasons, Tessa won’t be performing tonight.We’ll move our slots up to cover the gap.”

He made arrangements and told them about the changes before dismissing them from the short meeting. Kellen then stood where he was and thought the whole thing through, and he too came to the conclusion that the whole case about Tessa’s allergy came out of nowhere.
