After hearing what the doctor said, Kieran gave up on using the family’s status to ask for
special treatment. He glanced at Nicholas and Timothy before advising, “For the sake of
Tessa’s safety, why don’t you two discuss and see who’ll go in to see her?”
Nicholas and Timothy looked at each other. In the end, it was Timothy who compromised
and gave the spot to Nicholas, who put on a surgical gown before entering Tessa’s room in
the ICU.
Tessa looked frail as she lay on the hospital bed. There were several tubes stuck to her
and her face was ghostly pale. She looked like a fragile doll.
Nicholas felt as if someone had stabbed him with a knife. His mind was filled with self-
blame and regret.
“I’m sorry. I failed to protect you.” He kneeled beside the bed and gently brought Tessa’s

“You’ve been so curious to know whom the baby takes after, right? You can find out just as
soon as you wake up.” “I’ll keep waiting for you, no matter how long it takes.
There was so much Nicholas wanted to say, but he only had five minutes which was soon
over. His eyes were red as he walked back out. Timothy quickly asked, “How’s my sister,
Nicholas?”
“She’s still unconscious, but based on the readings on the machines, her condition is
stable,” Nicholas replied. Timothy exhaled in relief. “Everything will be fine since her
condition’s stable. Now, we just need to wait for her to wake up.”
Nicholas nodded lightly. He had finally regained his cool, and before anyone else could
react, he started giving off an almost bloodthirsty air. He looked at his parents and said
grimly, “I’ll leave you in charge of the children.”
Then, he turned to Timothy and said solemnly, “When I’m not around, help me take good
care of your sister. Call me at once if anything happens to her.”
“What are you going to do?”
Timothy frowned as he stared at Nicholas in puzzlement.
He had no idea what could be more important than Tessa now.
Stefania was also confused. “Where are you going, Nicholas? Aren’t you staying here to
look after Tessa and the baby?” Nicholas walked off without responding to either one of
them.
“What’s up with him?” Stefania grumbled. “He nearly went mad when the doctors were
still trying to save her, and now that she’s alright, he’s not even sticking around to look
after her.”
“I think he went to look for Edward.” Tobias looked on as Nicholas left. He had a perceptive
look in his eyes. Stefania was startled. She didn’t pick up on what was happening yet. ‘Did
something happen at the company?”
However, she refuted herself immediately after asking that question. Knowing what
Nicholas was like, he wouldn’t leave Tessa’s side even if the company was on the verge of

Timothy had a vague idea as to what Nicholas was up to, but he wasn’t sure, so he looked
at Tobias for confirmation.
Fortunately, Tobias didn’t keep them waiting as he filled them in. “Edward called me just
now and said they’ve located the driver who caused the crash. They’re at an empty
warehouse just outside the city now. I think Nicholas left because he heard the news too.”
Stefania instantly began worrying again. Her worries doubled when she recalled Nicholas’
bloodthirsty air earlier. “Go after your brother at once, Kieran! Don’t let him do anything
rash!”
She quickly urged Kieran to chase Nicholas down as she was afraid Nicholas might do
something extreme. True enough, Nicholas left because Edward had informed him that
they found the perpetrator.
The text was the spark that set Nicholas’ fury alight. As he made his way over, his
expression was grim and icy the whole time, but his eyes were aflame with rage. Half an
hour later, he arrived at the warehouse.
