Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007 At the Hospital

Once they entered the ward, Gregory broke free of Mona and ran to his mother. “What happened, Mommy?” There was concern and confusion in his eyes. “Why are you wearing a mask?”

“Because I had an allergic reaction, and I don’t want to scare you,” Tessa explained softly. Gregory leaned on her and answered cutely, “I’m not scared.”

Tessa laughed. Mona approached her. “Are you alright, Tessa?”

“I’m okay. Just need to rest for a bit.” Tessa shook her head and told Mona to take a seat on the couch. Mona took a seat and sighed. “That was an eventful performance. Good thing you didn’t show up, or you would have been hurt.”

Tessa and Nicholas exchanged a look. “Did something happen?” Tessa asked. Before Mona could answer, Gregory said, “Miss Susan fell down the stage.”

The news came as a surprise for Tessa and Nicholas. Mona nodded. “Things are smelling real fishy. Reeks of a conspiracy.”

Tessa had the same thought, but she was more concerned about the performance. “What happened to the performance? Did things get out of hand?”

“Not really. The accident happened near the end of the event, so Kellen ended the performance early. It was largely fine.” Mona told them what happened at the event.

Tessa was relieved to hear the performance went mostly fine.

Nicholas was quiet, but there was an unfathomable look in his eyes. He decided to stay at the hospital for the night to look after Tessa. When it was starting to get late, he asked Mona to take the boy home.

“No. I wanna stay with Mommy.” Gregory was worried about his mother too. He held her hand, reluctant to leave.

Tessa wanted to let him stay, but Nicholas insisted otherwise. In the end, Nicholas won, and Mona took the boy home. Only the two were left in the room.

“It’s late. Get some sleep.” Nicholas helped her lay down on the bed.
