Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077 Is He Angry?

Tessa still felt rather drowsy, so Nicholas propped her up and let her lean against his chest. He held the bowl of porridge in one hand and a spoon in the other as he coaxed her into having some food. “I know you’re not feeling well, but you need to eat something before you go back to sleep.” Nicholas wasn’t sure if Tessa heard what he said, but she only ate half a bowl of porridge with her eyes closed before she refused to have any more. Nicholas didn’t force her to eat after that. Instead, he helped her settle back into bed, and she fell asleep just moments later.

Timothy left the house early that morning to do some market surveys, and he only got home late in the afternoon. He had intended to have a meal with Tessa and Gregory, but he was greeted with an empty hall when he got home. “Where’s Tessa and Gregory?” Timothy asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper didn’t bother to hide the truth. “Madam Tessa is sick, and both Master Nicholas and Young Master Gregory are taking care of her in her room,” he replied.

“Did you say that Tessa’s sick?” Timothy was shocked. He was so worried that he charged up to his sister’s room with his briefcase still in his hand. When he got to the room, he saw Nicholas sitting beside Tessa’s bed and Gregory sitting quietly in a corner. “You’re back, Uncle Tim.” Gregory was the first to notice Timothy, and the young boy tottered over with a frown on his face. “Mommy’s sick. Both Daddy and I are really worried.”

Timothy ruffled the young boy’s hair before he walked over to the bed. He saw Tessa fast asleep with her cheeks looking abnormally red. The sight of her made Timothy feel more worried than before. “Tessa was fine yesterday. How did she fall ill all of a sudden?” Timothy turned to question Nicholas in a rather hostile manner.

However, Nicholas knew that Timothy was just worried about Tessa, so he didn’t feel bothered by the other man’s tone. “I’m not too sure. We’ll only find out after the doctor drops by to check up on her later,” Nicholas explained as he took the towel off of Tessa’s head to dip it in water. Then, he placed it back onto her forehead to lower her temperature.
