Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004 Contemplation

“Did something happen?” “Yeah. Some minor incident. I need to go to the hospital, so can you pick me up? Don’t tell Sofia and the others. I don’t want to put a damper on Kellen’s performance.” Tessa told him about the gist of the situation and hung up.

Nicholas tucked his phone away, his eyes filled with concern. Things must be serious if she needs to bail on an event of this magnitude for a hospital trip. No way she would bail otherwise. He would have teleported over to her side if he could.

But the moment he stood up, Gregory said, “Where are you going, Daddy? Mommy’s going to perform soon.”

Everyone looked at him as well. Ah, she said to keep it a secret. Gotta lie. He came up with an excuse, “I need to settle some work stuff.” Nicholas paused for a moment and looked at Mona. “If I don’t come back in time, can you keep an eye on Greg, Mona?”

Mona nodded. “Sure thing, Mr. Sawyer. You do what you have to do.”

Nicholas nodded and strode all the way backstage. When he entered the dressing room, the first thing he saw was Tessa on a couch, her head covered in a veil. A frown furrowed his brows. “What happened?” He approached Tessa and gave her a look of concern.

The veil stopped her from seeing him clearly, but he obviously sounded worried about her. “It’s nothing. Just some allergy reaction,” she whispered.

That only made Nicholas worry more. “Let me take a look. Is it bad?” He tried to pull the veil away.

“No!” Tessa gasped and moved away while holding the veil.

Nicholas pursed his lips and stared at Tessa without even blinking.
