Chapter 279
Tessa still shook her head and she turned to look at Nicholas.
“My health is fine. A little blood is not a problem and now that I have rested, I am fine. Can I wait for Greg to wake up? I have agreed to meet him today. I want to let him know that when he opens his eyes, I am there for him.”
Nicholas was silent for a few seconds. When he saw that Tessa’s eyes were firm, he knew that even if he persuaded her again, there was no way to change her mind, so he said, “Okay.”
She pursed her lips and smiled in relief. Then, a group of people came out and transferred Gregory to a suite ward. She remained motionless as she sat in front of the hospital bed and looked at him.
Edward went out halfway, and not long after, he entered the ward again and whispered to Nicholas, “President, Miss Stone is here.”
Hayley had been frightened from Gregory’s injury. The housekeeper ignored her and only sent someone to watch her, waiting for Nicholas to deal with her.
Nicholas nodded. He looked at the pale child on the hospital bed, and Tessa, who was equally pale in front of the hospital bed, before leaving the ward.
Hayley cried as soon as she saw Nicholas and tugged on his sleeve tightly. “Nicholas, it wasn’t me. I really didn’t do this; you have to believe me.”
“Get your hands off me.” He coldly shook off her hand.
She had cried so much, but her eyes were looking at Nicholas with expectation as he hoped that he could believe her.
Kieran looked at her with some doubts. “Miss Stone, why would you be in Dynasty Gardens in the first place?”
“O-Old Master Sawyer told me to go, saying that he wanted me to develop a relationship with Greg, so I really wouldn’t hurt him. If I really wanted to hurt him, it would be impossible for Old Master Sawyer to let me get close to the child in the first place. It’s even more impossible for me to marry you, and I understand the truth of loving you and your child.”
Hayley didn’t dare to hide anything at this time, so she immediately outed Remus and expressed her desires.
Kieran shifted his gaze to Andrew. “Andrew, is that the case? Has she really been coming here often these days?”
“Yes, the old master won’t let me talk about it, so I hid it from you,” Andrew said, a little troubled.
If he had told them this earlier, would this not have happened?
“Who was there on the second floor at that time?” Nicholas frowned in displeasure, but returned to the original question.
Hayley’s heart skipped a beat, but she still replied, “I-I don’t remember. It seemed like a vague shadow had walked over, but I’m not sure. It was just me and Greg that I can be sure of.”
Andrew also nodded. “Master Nicholas, I was in the kitchen, so I didn’t really witness the situation at the time, but the servants said that only the two of them were seen on the second floor. At that time, Miss Stone was standing at the entrance of the stairs and seemed to be talking to Young Master Gregory.”
Hayley couldn’t justify this, so she could only slowly retell the scene at that time. “That’s true. At that time, I was talking to Greg. I wanted to go out for a walk with him. He had been at home for several days. I was kind, but Greg refused, so I only left it at that.”
After saying this, she added with some uncertainty, “However, at that time, I felt like someone had pushed me behind my back and I stumbled toward Greg. I am a little uncertain, though, and can’t remember what happened in the end.”
All of a sudden, she remembered that there seemed to be several cameras in Nicholas’ house, but she couldn’t remember whether there were any at the entrance of the stairs.
Now, she could only gamble. She really had no way to clear the suspicions around her except this method.
Gregory was badly injured because of her. She was afraid that she would never be able to enter the Sawyer Residence again…
She pleaded, “Nicholas, you have to believe me. I really have no ill feelings toward Greg. Is there any surveillance on the stairs in your house? If the surveillance proves that it is really me, I will admit it. If it’s not me, and if there is indeed someone else, then I will definitely seek justice.”
Although Nicholas didn’t know Hayley well, what she said had made sense. He nodded, “Andrew, check the surveillance-the stairs, the corridor, all of them.”
