Chapter 435 The Plan Failed
Tessa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she listened to Gregory’s childish words, but her heart was incredibly warm.
“Okay, I’ll let you arrange my work and rest time in the future.” She promised him dotingly. Subsequently, she made to carry him up onto the bed, but she was rejected.
“Don’t hold me when you’re sick, Miss Tessa. You’ll get tired.”
Hearing that, Tessa felt that her heart was about to melt.
After that, Gregory sat by her side, and cheerful laughter could be heard in the ward from time to time. Gradually, she was able to forget the events of the previous night as the darkness in her heart was healed by him. Nicholas sat next to them, watching their interaction on the hospital bed with relief.
After lunch, Tessa didn’t really want to stay in the hospital anymore. She knew very well that she hadn’t actually suffered any injuries and was just a little frightened, so it wouldn’t be any different if she went home to rest.
“Nicholas, I want to be discharged from the hospital.” She voiced her thoughts, but he didn’t seem to approve of her being discharged from the hospital so soon.
“Now? Why don’t you stay for another night so they can monitor your condition?” As a matter of fact, Tessa’s breakdown last night frightened Nicholas, and he was worried that there would be side effects.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gregory agreed with a serious expression, echoing, “Miss Tessa, if you’re sick, you have to stay in the hospital and rest well.”
“But I’m much better now. It’ll be the same if I go home and rest.” Tessa couldn’t help but caress his soft hair, but her gaze was still fixed persistently on Nicholas.
In the end, Nicholas couldn’t argue against her, so he nodded and said, “All right, I’ll ask the doctor to come over and check again. After we’re sure you’re okay, we’ll go back.”
Tessa was fine with that decision.
After a while, the doctor brought the nurse over for an examination, and the result was naturally fine. Finally able to relax, Nicholas turned around and ordered Edward to go through the discharge procedures. That afternoon, Tessa was discharged from the hospital and returned to the villa. However, after returning, Gregory and Nicholas unanimously asked her to lie on the bed and rest.
At Stone Residence, Hayley was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a call from Duane.
“How did it go?” She sat on the head of the bed with her phone in her hand, and her charming voice was hoarse with grogginess.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Duane’s voice sounded. “The plan failed.”
“Failed?” Hayley’s tone rose in surprise, and her heart swelled with displeasure as she demanded, “Didn’t you say that it was foolproof? Why did it fail?!”
“I was careless. I didn’t expect Nicholas’ influence to be so strong even in Vienna. He arrived faster than I thought,” Duane analyzed.
Hayley was shocked and angry, but there was nothing she could do because she didn’t expect Nicholas to wield authority even abroad. At that thought, she couldn’t help but worry. Based on his personality, he will definitely get to the bottom of this.
She gritted her teeth and ordered furiously, “Since the plan has failed, you’d better hide well during this period of time. Nicholas will never give up, and he must not be allowed to doubt me, understand?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let Nicholas trace this back to you.” Duane promising her in his low voice made her feel a lot more at ease.
After that, she asked about Tessa and Nicholas’ situation.
“According to the report of my subordinates, Nicholas took care of Tessa in the hospital all night, and he only discharged her from the hospital and brought her back to the villa in the afternoon,” Duane explained his observations.
Hearing that, Hayley burned with jealousy. What rights does that b*tch Tessa have to actually let Nicholas take care of her in the hospital all night?!
After hanging up, the more Hayley thought about it, the more angry she became. At first, she wanted to destroy Tessa, but she had improved the relationship between that woman and Nicholas instead. All of a sudden, she felt she went for wool and came back shorn.
“B*tch! You f*cking b*tch! Why don’t you just die?!” She completely lost her mind and hysterically threw everything on the bed to the floor.
