Chapter 810 The Real Victim
Speechless, Tessa did not know how to react to all this.
Mona, who could understand what she was going through, changed the subject and said, “Regardless of the reason why Kathleen did what she did, Miss Hathaway is more important for now. Let’s go visit her at the hospital.”
One could only imagine the pain when a mother lost her child.
Nodding, they went to the hospital.
In the hospital, there were tons of people who came to visit Hathaway as they stood outside the ward.
“Is Miss Hathaway fine?” Mona and Tessa arrived and immediately asked Doris how Hathaway was doing.
Yet, before she could reply, the members from Group One insulted Tessa.
“Tessa Reinhart, how dare you show up here!”
“Kathleen was driven to death by you! How sick can you get!”
“You really are a jinx! From the day you appear in the group, we haven’t had a peaceful day go by!”
The vicious comments made Tessa’s face pale.
“It wasn’t me who did that. I didn’t.” She tried to explain, but they did not listen at all.
“If it wasn’t for you latching onto the incident, would Kathleen have committed suicide?”
“It’s just a minor injury. It’s not as if someone died. Did you have to be that ruthless? I bet you must be feeling all high and mighty now that Kathleen is dead and there’s no one else to block your way to the top in the orchestra anymore!”
“Not only did you force her to her death, you even agitated Miss Hathaway! Tessa, what are you planning? Are you trying to drive her head to her grave too?”
“Enough! Shut up, all of you!” Seeing that they were getting out of hand, the assistant scolded them harshly.
Thankfully, she was one logical individual and knew that this incident was not Tessa’s fault.
“When Miss Hathway received the news about Kathleen, she was in a very agitated state before she passed out. She still isn’t awake yet, so you should just… head back first.” She looked at Tessa and told her about what happened.
Yet, Tessa did not want to leave just like that, for she was very worried about her mentor.
“It’s fine. I can wait until she wakes up.”
“You should still head back first. I think that even when Miss Hathaway wakes up, she… might not want to see you,” the assistant tried persuading her.
Unwilling, Tessa shook her head. “It’s okay if I stay out of her ward, but I will wait here until she wakes up. It’s by doing so that I can rest my heart.”
“Miss Blanchett, please let us wait here,” Mona pitched in.
Since they were being so sincere, Doris did not oppose them.
“Okay. You wait here, then. However, if Miss Hathaway doesn’t want to see the both of you, please don’t try to go in so as to avoid agitating her.”
“Understood.” Tessa nodded.
The members of Group One were sour upon seeing this.
“She really is shameless. After forcing someone’s daughter to their death, she’s trying to act like a saint here. Does she think that she can lessen her sins like that?”
“If it were me, I would have left a long time ago.”
“And to think how kindly Miss Hathaway treats her usually. No one thought that she would stab her in the back like this.”
Mona, who heard all this, decided to stand up for her friend. “Have you all had enough? Kathleen’s death isn’t Tessa’s fault at all. It was her that committed a crime in the first place. Tessa only made sure she got the punishment she deserved. I think you all forgot what actually happened back then. Need I remind you what Kathleen did? If not for Tessa’s husband arriving in time, the one who would be dead by now might be Tessa and the baby inside her belly!”
Her words rendered those people incapable of rebutting as everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hallway became heavy.
Tessa, on the other hand, was also a mess inside. How should I…
The silent atmosphere was interrupted by a piercing ringtone reverberating in the hallway.
It was from Tessa’s phone, showing that Nicholas was calling her through video.
“What’s wrong?”
Nicholas looked at his wife through the screen and asked concerningly, “Did something happen? You don’t look all that happy.”
