Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098 Amber Hospitalized

“Nothing major is waiting for me at the office, so I wanted to stay home and be with you,” Nicholas said. He loved just how Tessa looked when she was still bleary-eyed from sleep.

He tenderly helped her sit up. “Let us have lunch,” he said in an indescribable doting voice. She nodded. With his help, she got out of bed and washed up.

After lunch, Nicholas headed back to his study as he still had work to do. Meanwhile, Gregory, who had classes in the afternoon, headed back up to his room for his afternoon nap.

In the end, Tessa was the only one in the household with nothing to do. Just as she was about to head upstairs to practice piano, she saw Timothy walking into the house with an unpleasant look on his face.

“Tim, what happened? You look upset.”

She shot him a concerned look. “Nothing much,” he said with a bland smile. He did not want to tell her anything. “I just have to fly back tomorrow.”

Unbeknownst to him, she knew him extremely well. “Tim, did you know that every time you lie, you will subconsciously purse your lips first? Tell me what actually happened.”

She immediately saw through his lies.

He internally sighed upon hearing that.

He did not think his lie would be seen through that easily.

He maintained eye contact with her as he hesitated. Finally, he decided to come clean to her.

“I received a call from Southend General Hospital this morning. The old madam from the Reinhart family collapsed. When she was rushed to the hospital, they realized it was cancer. I have been called back to treat her.”

Tessa blankly stared back at him for a moment, likely confused since it had been so long since she had last heard of anything about the Reinharts.

When she recalled who that woman was, her heart sank.

She had never once asked about what happened to the Reinharts after leaving the country.
