Chapter 141 Plans Turned Into Uncertainties
Tessa heard everything he said, and it filled her heart with a mixture of emotions.
Lionel was a rascal, a rogue. He had obviously done something wrong, yet he blamed others for not helping to hide it.
He even vented his anger on a five-year-old kid, and he complained when he got caught. How shameless.
Although Tessa didn’t regret saving Gregory, she still felt uncomfortable when she thought about her injury.
Due to these strange incidents, she didn’t know if she could return to the state she was in pre-injury, or if she could go on stage again.
Originally, her future was bright, but now, all her plans had turned into uncertainties.
At this thought, she felt pained and tormented.
It would be a blessing if she could recover and perform on stage again, but what if she couldn’t perform anymore in the future? What if she couldn’t be on the stage of her dreams anymore? What should she do then?
How was she supposed to carry on in the future?
Tessa felt a little troubled thinking about her future, but in the end, she got tired and fell asleep in a daze.
By the time she woke up, it was already past 6.00PM.
Seeing that she was awake, Nicholas walked to the bed. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Although she had slept for a while, Tessa still remembered the incident, which made her lose her appetite. However, she didn’t want to reject Nicholas’ kindness, so she answered, “Anything’s fine.”
Nicholas nodded, then left the ward and called Andrew before ordering him to prepare a nutritious meal and have it delivered to the hospital.
While waiting for the meal to be delivered, Nicholas received a call, and his face changed subtly.
He turned back to look at Tessa and Gregory. “There’s something I need to attend to at the office, so I won’t stay for dinner. If you need anything, just tell Andrew.”
Upon seeing this, Tessa figured that something urgent must have happened at the office, so she didn’t retain him. Nodding, she said, “Okay. Hurry over, then.”
Afterward, Nicholas packed up the documents Edward had brought and hurriedly left the hospital.
Nicholas had always been busy, so Gregory was quite accustomed to it and didn’t urge him to stay. He stuck by Tessa’s side and told her a story he hadn’t told her before.
After the two played for a while, the ward door was pushed open.
Andrew had arrived, and Stefania was with him.
When Gregory saw Stefania, he immediately rushed up and hugged her leg, then asked in his childlike voice, “Grandma, what are you doing here?”
“Madam Sawyer.”
Tessa was a little surprised to see Stefania. After thinking about it, she figured that Stefania must have missed Gregory, so she simply gave a polite nod.
Stefania returned the nod, then took the lunch box from Andrew’s hands and set it down while saying, “This is a bone broth specially stewed by the chef at home. It’s helpful for the repair of bone fractures.”
Tessa responded politely, “Thank you, Madam Sawyer.”
Stefania exuded extravagance, but her behavior was gentle. “This is nothing. In fact, I have to thank you, Miss Reinhart. If it weren’t for you saving Gregory…”
As she spoke, she shook her head, as if she didn’t want to mention the matter anymore. “Anyway, thank you, Miss Reinhart.”
“Madam Sawyer, there’s no need to be so courteous.”
Tessa felt ashamed.
After all, she was the one who had lost Gregory.
Stefania nodded, then seemed to hesitate before saying, “Miss Reinhart, there are some things… that I wanted to discuss with you in person.”
Tessa saw the look in her eyes and knew that she had something to say, so she gave a slight nod and turned to Gregory. “Sweetheart, I want to eat grapes. Will you and Andrew please go down to buy some for me?”
When Gregory heard that she wanted to eat despite having no appetite before, he immediately stood up. “Okay! What else would you like to eat, Miss Tessa?”
“That’s all.”
Tessa shook her head, then looked at the butler and said, “Andrew, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Greg.”
“All right.” Andrew nodded, then left the ward while holding the hand of a bouncing Gregory.
As soon as they left, Stefania sighed and stated outright, “I’m here today mainly to ask you to resign, Miss Reinhart.”
