She then quickly followed Kieran out of the hospital. The corridor soon fell silent after their departure.
Meanwhile, Timothy observed the exhausted Nicholas and couldn’t help but persuade him, “Nicholas, since Tess is awake and out of the woods, why don’t you head home and rest and return later?”
“I’m okay.” Nicholas shook his head in rejection. Even though Tessa regained consciousness and was no longer in danger, he still wanted to be on guard. What if Tessa wakes up and wants to see me, but I’m not there? She’d be so disappointed.
Stefania couldn’t help but feel distressed because her son had lost significant weight int the last few days.
