Chapter 1170 Impatience
“Yes.” Gregory nodded cutely. Tessa asked, “So what kind of present would you like?” “Oh, it’s—no, I’m not saying.” Gregory quickly covered his mouth. It was adorable.
Tessa thought he looked cute. Gregory shot her a look. “You’re so bad, Mommy. Trying to make me talk, weren’t you?”
“What? No. I was just asking.” Gregory hit the bullseye, but Tessa wouldn’t tell him that. They had a happy lunch and were about to leave, but the servant at the hospital called Tessa.
“You need to come here, Madam Tessa. Mrs. Reinhart is causing a scene.” “What happened?” Tessa frowned.
The servant answered, “She woke up and saw a lot of her hair falling out of her head. That shocked her, and now she’s refusing to work with the doctors. She thought they were hurting her and even swatted her meds away.”
The call ended with Tessa looking upset. The look on her face didn’t escape Nicholas, and he approached her. “What happened?”
“That old lady is causing a scene again. I have to go to the hospital,” Tessa answered honestly. She won’t stop causing trouble for everyone around her. Nicholas didn’t want her to go alone. “I’ll go with you.” He called Edward immediately after and told him to take Gregory away.
They arrived at the hospital a while later. Even before they entered the ward, they saw Amber on the bed, screaming at everyone. The ground around her was a mess. “I’m not going to work with you anymore! She paid you to kill me, didn’t she? I know that Tessa girl did.”
“Calm down, madam. Hair loss is normal in chemotherapies.” The nurse was trying her best to calm her down, and she was slowly approaching her.
But Amber was on high alert. The moment the nurse tried to approach her, she grabbed something near her and hurled it at the poor girl. “Get out! Out, I say!”
The nurse quickly backed off to the ward’s entrance. Tessa saw the whole thing, and she frowned.
She wanted to go inside and stop her, but Nicholas got in her way. “Don’t. She’s unstable and aggressive right now.” Nicholas was worried the old lady might hurt Tessa if she went inside. Tessa paused for a moment. “But if I don’t go in, nobody can stop her.”
“I’ll call my bodyguards.” Nicholas whipped his phone out. A while later, four burly bodyguards appeared within the ward, shocking Amber. “Who are you people? What do you want?”
Her questions were ignored. The bodyguards had their order, and they quickly pinned Amber down. Furious and terrified, Amber kept struggling and trying to break free. “Who are you people? My granddaughter is the wife of Sawyer Group’s boss! Let me go, or you’re done for!”
Tessa heard that, and she laughed mirthlessly. Well, she didn’t even hesitate. Guess she’s been using my name to scare a lot of people. She turned to the nurse. “Care to administer a sedative?”
“Yes, miss.” The nurse nodded and made the necessary preparations. Amber was injected with a sedative, and it calmed her down. The bodyguards left, and the servants cleaned the room up. The nurse picked up all the medical equipment scattered on the ground.
Sheepishly, Tessa apologized, “Sorry for the trouble.” “It’s alright, but she’s been emotionally unstable. It’s slowing her treatment a lot. You should deal with this as soon as possible, Miss Reinhart.” Then, the nurse left.
Tessa stood around, impatience welling up within her. The performance is drawing near, and I have a lot of work to do. I don’t have time for her oversized tantrums.
