Chapter 769 Awoken
Tessa was shaken up when she heard Mona’s words. Yeah, if the spotlight got to me, my child and I would…
Similarly, Hathaway turned grave. Mona’s right. The matter can’t just be concluded like this.
After that, the trio chatted for a little while more before Hathaway had to return to her business.
Mona fell silent after Hathaway left, for she was deliberating if she should tell Tess what they had discovered. However, what if Hathaway had a reason for not telling Tessa so?
While she was at a crossroads, Tessa noticed her abnormality and asked, “What’s wrong? You look like something’s bothering you.”
Upon meeting her friend’s concerned gaze, Mona instantly decided that Tessa had the right to know as the victim of the incident.
“Tessa, the falling spotlight wasn’t an accident. Someone had cut the wire.”
“Really?” Tessa’s heart skipped a beat as she scrutinized Mona’s expression.
Mona nodded in response and said, “A lot of the guys in the orchestra saw it for themselves.”
At that, Tessa turned grim.
If this was human-induced, then it was undoubtedly aimed at her, and she couldn’t think of anyone other than Kathleen who would want to harm her.
In actuality, she wanted to just ask Mona if it was Kathleen, but she said nothing in the end.
Even so, Mona read it from her expressions and mumbled, “I hope not…”
Though Tessa didn’t reply, her gaze turned fierce.
If it really was Kathleen’s doing, she wouldn’t let that woman get away with it!
Sometime later, Nicholas regained consciousness, and Tessa hurriedly checked up on him as soon as she noticed it. “You’re awake. How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine. It just hurts a little.” Nicholas reassured her with a faint smile when he saw her worried look.
Tessa’s eyes turned red-rimmed with oncoming tears upon hearing so, for she knew the pain was probably insufferable if it could get Nicholas to admit the pain.
“It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have gotten hurt if I reacted in time.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Anyone would’ve been petrified at that moment.” Nicholas tried to ease her worries, not wanting her to go down a blind alley. “Also, I’m glad you’re not the one hurt, or I’d be really worried.”
Tessa choked up, not sure what to say.
Seeing so, Gregory went up and comforted her like a little adult. “Mommy, don’t cry. Daddy’s a grown man, and he’ll be fine.”
Having said that, he still looked toward his father with worry. “Daddy, do you want me to blow on your boo-boo? That way, you won’t feel so painful.”
Nicholas burst into a chuckle in response. “Thank you, but it’s fine. Help me comfort your mommy.”
Gregory nodded obediently and helped soothe Tessa’s emotions, which they successfully did.
Mona, who was still in the room, was forced to witness the PDA, but she didn’t mind it. In fact, she was happy for her friend when she saw that Nicholas was doing considerably okay.
On that note, she stood up and announced with a smile, “Well, I’ll be on my way since President Sawyer has woken up.”
It was only then Tessa remembered her dear friend was still present, and she said with embarrassment, “Be careful on your way back. Thanks for keeping me company.”
“Thank you.” Nicholas looked gratefully at Mona too, who waved her hand. “There’s no need to thank me. I couldn’t ease my mind when I saw how worried Tessa was.”
Nicholas nodded in response and asked their butler to send Mona back.
The butler nodded with acknowledgment and escorted Mona out.
With that, only the family of three was left in the ward.
“Are you hungry? Would you like to have something?” Tessa asked with concern.
“Actually, I am.” Nicholas nodded honestly.
Thus, Tessa went out and returned with a light dinner in no time.
As Nicholas was somewhat restricted, Tessa fed him.
