Chapter 45 Feeling of Separation
Nicholas frowned while Tessa gently sighed as if she tried to gather her courage before she spoke again, “President Sawyer, I’m just an ordinary person and different from you guys in the sense that I only want an ordinary life. We shouldn’t have interacted with each other from the very start, but I don’t regret knowing you and Gregory. Please tell him that I said goodbye when he wakes up and apologize to him on my behalf. Also, thank him for liking me so much.”
Then, she turned around and left without looking back.
Tessa’s back now looked frail and unbending. She resembled an injured deer that was heading into the deep forest on her own.
He stood rooted to where he was with a deep frown.
“Nicholas!”
It was at this moment when Kieran came out from the hospital as well.
When he saw what had happened, he frowned before asking, “Nicholas, what’s going on? Are you sure that Tessa isn’t the one who wanted to harm Gregory? If it wasn’t her, who else could it be?”
Before Nicholas could answer him, Kieran mumbled, “Sigh, we’re done for. Now that Tessa has resigned, Gregory will surely throw tantrums once he regains consciousness!”
When he heard that, Nicholas could feel a headache coming up.
Since Gregory really fancied Tessa, he would surely be mad now that she had resigned.
However, things could only be dealt with one step at a time now.
Massaging his temples, Nicholas replied, “It’s fine. I’ll settle this.”
Then, the two of them headed back into the hospital.
On the other hand, Tobias and Stefania were still annoyed after seeing Nicholas dragging Tessa out. This was especially true for Stefania, who was completely filled with rage.
When the brothers returned, she dashed toward them almost immediately before she reprimanded, “Nicholas, what is wrong with you? How could you let that woman walk free? Don’t you know that she’s the culprit who harmed Gregory?!”
However, Nicholas frowned before he answered with annoyance, “Mom, didn’t I say that I have the evidence to prove that—”
Still, Stefania was in disbelief as she snapped, “It’s not her? Who else can it be? Tell me! Do you really think that it’s possible for Roselle or Andrew to do something like this?!”
Upon hearing that, Andrew was shocked before quickly defending himself in fear. “Master Nicholas, I’ve watched you and your brother growing up since you guys were little kids. You guys have also treated me well over the years too. I’ve been nothing but loyal to you, and I’ll never do something like that!”
For someone who had dedicated his entire life to the Sawyer Family, Andrew would have already made his move earlier if he had any ill intentions, so why should he have waited until now?
Then, Yana’s facial expression was extremely dark as she tried to argue, “Nicholas, there’s no reason for Andrew to do this, not to mention Roselle! How could someone like her, who had been kind and gentle since she was a child, attempt to harm someone else? Besides, there’s no reason for Roselle to harm Gregory! Nicholas, you must believe—”
“That’s enough!” Nicholas snapped when his patience ran out!
Everyone immediately jumped from fear and went quiet.
At this moment, Nicholas’ gaze was also dark as he declared in a chilly voice, “I’ll get someone to investigate this issue. For now, we shall wait until Gregory wakes up!”
At the mention of Gregory, Tobias and Stefania quickly fell silent as they were more worried about Gregory compared to finding the actual perpetrator .
…
Tessa was really upset when she left; it felt as if she was weighted by a heavy rock that was pulling her down.
Even though Nicholas had already cleared her of the suspicion, she still felt extremely sad at the fact that she wouldn’t be able to see Gregory ever again.
Although Tessa had interacted with other kids in the past, she had never experienced this much pain when they were separated from each other, which reminded her of how she felt when she was separated from the child in her stomach.
Her heart was in so much pain that it suffocated her.
As she exhaled deeply, she tried to assure herself and thought, I guess I’m reacting like this because Gregory is too adorable and likable.
