Chapter 1102 Well-Intentioned Suggestion
After making sure that Tessa was alright without any hint of pretense, Nicholas nodded in agreement before they headed to the doctor’s office. Since the doctor knew their intentions, he told them all about Amber’s condition.
“Her condition isn’t too bad. It’s only in the early stages, so as long as she complies with the treatment to prevent the spreading of cancer cells, she can still hope to live for a few years.”
“What kind of treatment?” Tessa asked politely. The doctor replied, “We will arrange for her to undergo chemotherapy. Plus, medication will be administered.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll leave her in your hands, Doc. As for the fees, we will pay them on time.”
After the explanation, Tessa decided to hand all responsibilities of healing Amber to the doctor as she had decided to pay only for the treatment.
The doctor, who knew that the grandmother and granddaughter’s relationship was rocky, did not say anything and agreed.
Later, the two eventually left the hospital. Getting into the car, Nicholas hugged Tessa and asked, “Are you tired?”
“I’m not. Don’t worry.” She shook her head while smiling.
Even so, Nicholas allowed her to rest on his shoulder.
Back at Dynasty Gardens, they had just alighted from the car when Andrew welcomed them with a smile. “Master Nicholas and Young Madam, it appears that Old Master Sawyer and Old Mrs. Sawyer are here for a visit.”
Nodding, Tessa and Nicholas walked to the living room, at which Gregory’s cheerful laughter could be heard the moment they stepped inside.
“Daddy, Mommy, you’re back.” Gregory, who was very observant, noticed his parents as they came in and ran up to them with his little short legs.
At the sight of her adorable son, Tessa’s heart melted into a puddle. “Were you a good boy?”
“I was. I even poured tea for Grandma and Grandpa.” He puffed his chest out, waiting for praise.
The family was all amused by his adorable behavior. Following that, Tessa asked her parents-in-law. “Tobias, Stefania, when did you guys come? Why didn’t you tell us beforehand?”
“We knew that you two would be out this afternoon, so we came over to keep Greg company since he would be all alone at home.”
Subsequently, Stefania paused before saying, “Also, I was worried since you went to the hospital this afternoon.”
Although she had never seen the Reinharts, Stefania still knew a little about Tessa’s past. Knowing that her daughter-in-law was now pregnant, Stefania was worried that Amber might ignore that, which could cause harm to the baby in her belly.
Tessa’s smile deepened upon hearing this. “No need to worry. I’ll be fine with Nicholas around.”
“It’ll be good if nothing happens.” With a nod, Stefania then asked about Amber’s condition.
Tessa did not plan to hide anything and told her briefly about it, “The cancer is still in the early stages. If she complies with treatment, she should still have a few years to live.”
“If so, then we should arrange for a caretaker to look after her at the hospital. With Tessa’s condition, she isn’t suited to stay at the hospital long-term. Besides, it would be taxing on her body for her to go back and forth like that,” Stefania suggested to Nicholas, to which he agreed.
It was the same afternoon that he arranged for a caretaker to go to the hospital.
Knocking on the door, the caretaker smiled politely before entering the ward and introduced herself, “Hello, Mrs. Reinhart. I’m a servant sent from the Sawyer Family, Mia. Due to Young Madam’s current condition, it would be inappropriate for her to move around too much. Hence, I’m here to take care of you on her behalf.”
This stunned Amber, who became angry upon realizing that the young madam was none other than her unfilial granddaughter, Tessa. “What does that b*tch mean by this? Did she think that she could appease me by sending some nobody?”
Staring lividly at Mia, she cursed, “That b*tch just wants to see me die and not save me, am I right?”
Frightened by how fierce the old lady in front of her was acting, Mia quickly waved her hands and explained, “Mrs. Reinhart, you’re mistaken. The young madam never wished for you to pass.”
She could not afford to let this old lady misunderstand anything. If word of this got back to the Sawyers, she was worried that her high-paying job might not be secure any longer.
Nevertheless, Amber did not believe her words as she sneered. “If she really didn’t want me to die, why would she send you here? Don’t think that I don’t know what she’s thinking. She hates me with every fiber of her being, so why would she tell you to take care of me? She must want you to do something to me in secret, leading me to a mysterious death. Since I have cancer now, nobody would raise an eyebrow even if I were to suddenly die here!”
