Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530

Tessa froze before she smiled and held onto the child's chubby hand. "I'm not worried." She may be worried about others, but she would never worry about the Reinharts. Then, after a few minutes, Timothy returned to them. She immediately stood up when she saw him. "Have you handed the money over?" she asked.

He nodded as he glanced at the old lady on the hospital bed. He didn't feel like staying there any longer. "Let's go, Tessa." Tessa knew what was going on in her brother's mind, so she nodded in agreement. However, she didn’t want to stay there either.

Gregory, on the other hand, seemed confused by the situation. He didn't understand why Tessa and Timothy didn’t wait for the old lady to wake up, but he was a good boy, so he didn't ask any questions. Then, right when Tessa was about to leave the room, the old lady woke up from her coma.

She instantly recognized Tessa and Timothy and pointed a finger at both of them before shouting at them. "Have you two brats finally decided to come and visit me?"

Both Tessa and Timothy's faces fell upon hearing her voice. Even Gregory was shocked at her loud voice and

quickly held onto Tessa's hand.

Amber continued cursing and scolding them from where she lay on the hospital bed. Her words were increasingly harsh, and Tessa had to cover Gregory’s ears before she shot Amber a cold glare. "That's enough. Do you think we want to be here? We aren’t obligated to come over to visit you, you know? We’ve already paid for your medical fees. So, you shouldn't look for us ever again." Tessa turned to leave after finishing her words.

Amber returned to her senses after realizing that she had been shocked by Tessa for a moment. "Stand right there! Did I say you guys could leave?!" Amber was furious. She grabbed a cup that was placed by the side of her bed before throwing it in Tessa’s direction.

The cup flew toward Tessa from a sideways angle, so she didn't see it coming. Meanwhile, Timothy had keen eyes and quick reflexes as he immediately pulled his sister away. Clang! The cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Tessa was too shocked to react for a moment, but she felt anger gushing through her body when she realized what had happened. Although she was angry at how Amber threw the cup at her, she was more worried that the cup would injure Gregory. So, she instantly pulled him behind her to protect him.

Timothy was just as angry, and his eyes burned with rage as he glared at Amber. "What do you think you're doing?!" he shouted.

"What am I doing? I'm teaching you guys a lesson on behalf of your father. Both of you are traitors. You guys don't even care whether your grandma's alive! I might as well just beat you guys to death now!" the old lady screamed.

"Aunt Tessa is not a traitor! You can't call her that!" Although Gregory was afraid of the old lady, he still ran in front of Tessa before spreading his arms out to protect her. Tessa felt extremely touched when she saw the tiny boy standing in front of her.

Amber froze when she saw the young boy running out. She had been paying too much attention to Timothy and Tessa, so she hadn't realized the child’s presence at all. "Where did this brat come from? Step aside! Who gave you the right to speak up? Children should only speak when spoken to!" Amber hissed.
