Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629 His Worry and Her Reluctance

When Nicholas saw the sickly woman on his phone, it made him want to rush over to Tessa’s side right that moment.

“I’m going to tell Edward to book the fastest flight over there right now,” he was about to hang up after saying that.

Fortunately, Tessa managed to stop him. “You don’t need to come. It’s just a fever. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine.”

Nicholas frowned severely as he replied, “I don’t feel at ease knowing that you’re sick on top of being alone.”

“But, you’ll be exhausted with so many things to do on top of you flying around. I don’t want to see you being so tired. It worries me as well.”

Tessa then comforted him through the phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Besides, I’m not as fragile as you think I am. There’s also Kylie around to look after me. So, it’s not a big deal.”

Nicholas stood on the balcony as he held his phone tightly in agitation.

Because of the close distance, Janet could hear some of the conversations, even though she was sitting on the bed.

She could only look at the side of Nicholas with a gaping mouth, as she had never seen the man use such concern and gentleness to talk to anyone before.

Yet, she was witnessing it now, only for it to be directed toward another woman.

It turns out Nicholas has this caring side to him…

Janet had to admit that she felt a fit of jealousy like never before toward the woman called Tessa!

She involuntarily gripped the bedsheets while closing her eyes as she hid all her emotions under her gaze.

Then, after a while, Nicholas hung up and reentered the ward, during which she had already regained her composure.

As she looked at the prideful man, she teased, “Wasn’t that your fiancée? What happened to her?”

“She has a fever.”

Nicholas nodded and replied, but the worry in his voice was apparent to her.

Even though Janet tightly gripped her bedsheets upon noticing this, she still acted like she was concerned. “Is she ok? If it’s serious, then you should look after her. I’ll be fine here.”

“She refused,” Nicholas seemed a bit frustrated upon saying this.

Janet secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that little tidbit of information.
