“Welcome home, Tessa!” Every one of them offered sincere congratulations. At this moment, Mona rushed out of the crowd with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She ran over and hugged Tessa tightly. “You scared me to death! I thought I was going to lose my best friend! But I’m so glad you’re all right!”
“I did not expect something like that to happen. either.” Tessa returned the hug and patted her best friend lightly on the back.
A short while later, Mona calmed down and released Tessa. Then, she seemed to think of something and smiled. “Miss Hathaway was. very worried about you too, but you know how she is… So, I was thinking of taking a picture with you and sending the picture to her later. Can I?”
“Of course.” Tessa nodded in agreement. Mona happily retreated to the side upon receiving Tessa’s green light on this matter.
Not long afterward, Tessa was surrounded by Sofia and all her other friends. They were also very concerned about her health and expressed great joy to see Gordon. Each of them also came bearing welcome gifts for Gordon.
Although it was Gordon’s first time meeting so many people, he was not afraid. In fact, he had a sweet smile on his face throughout the entire time.
Tessa was extremely touched by the warm scene before her. It made her feel very blessed.
That night, a small party was held at the Dynasty Gardens to celebrate Tessa and Gordon’s safe return. During the party, everybody smiled and chatted happily with each other. The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting.
After dinner, they gathered in the living room to resume their conversation.
Unfortunately, Tessa had only just been. discharged from the hospital. So, her body had yet to recover completely. It seemed as though she had just been up for about five minutes before she quickly began to feel tired. The others soon noticed her fatigue and urged her to get some rest.
“Tobias and I will take care of things here. So, you can rest easy.” The one who spoke up was Stefania. She was truly worried about Tessa’s health.
