Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1274

She spoke silently. Nicholas still couldn’t hear it clearly, but he understood lipreading. So, he could roughly guess what she meant and finally smiled after so many days. “I’ll wait for you to get better. Always will.”

He caught Tessa’s hand and kissed it. At this sight, Tessa broke into a smile. A sweet breath emerged from them as their eyes met. Even the room started to have a sweet smell not long after.

Then, Nicholas stayed for a while more until Tessa fell asleep. Only then did he reluctantly leave the ward. Once he was out of the ward, he noticed that Sofia had arrived and nodded in greeting. “You’re here.”

“I heard that Tessa’s awake, so I rushed over. How’s she? What did the doctor say?” Sofia was exceptionally concerned about Tessa’s well-being and inundated Nicholas with questions.

The others stood by the side and turned to Nicholas with concern because they wanted to ask about Tessa’s situation, especially Gregory, who hugged Nicholas’ leg.

Then, the child eagerly asked, “How’s Mommy, Daddy? Do her wounds hurt?”

Nicholas lowered his head to look at Gregory and gently commented, “Your mommy’s alright, don’t worry.”

At that, he turned to Sofia and described Tessa’s general condition.

“Yes, Tessa’s awake now and is no longer in a critical condition. The next step is for her body to heal and the recovery stage. The doctor said that it may take more than half a year for her to make a full recovery.”

“As long as Tessa is awake, it doesn’t matter how long it takes for the recovery.” Sofia nodded with a smile as she was also relieved.
