Chapter 203
“Keep this up and you will recover soon,” the doctor laughingly said when he saw
Tessa’s reaction.
“Then, can 1-” Tessa spoke up impatiently. She wanted to ask about playing the violin. Unfortunately, the
doctor interrupted her before she could even finish her question.
The doctor said, “Don’t think that you can start playing the violin again just because you’re much better
now. As they say, broken bones take a hundred days to heal. You should also take more care when it
comes to a bone fracture like yours. You will need to recuperate quietly for at least a month or so before
you can touch that precious violin of yours.”
Upon hearing those words, the light in her eyes vanished instantly. A month… I can afford to wait, but the
orchestra can’t… There’re only a few more days left before the orchestra leaves to perform abroad, yet
there’s no way I can go on stage in my current condition. In the end, will I just end up as a spectator
again?
The look on her face did not escape Nicholas’ notice. He was well-aware of her unfulfilled wishes.

only exception being matters involving her body. Unfortunately, there was no other method to solve this
problem aside from slowly recuperating from her injuries.
Compared to her health, everything else was not as important. He did not wish for her to destroy herself
for the sake of the performance this time. That was why he didn’t encourage her to return to the
orchestra and the stage where she belonged.
Likewise, Gregory noticed the changes in her mood and quickly comforted her. “Miss Tessa, it will be
okay. You are so talented. There will be many, many more opportunities in the future.”
Knowing that Gregory was worried about her, she forced her lips to curve into a smile. “I know.”
It was almost lunch time by the time Tessa was done with her check-up. Since these two had come along
to accompany her for her check-up, she could not just leave without doing anything in return. Hence, she
suggested, “President Sawyer, Greg, why don’t I treat the two of you to lunch as a thank you for
accompanying me for my check-up?”
Naturally, Gregory was elated to hear those words and immediately nodded in agreement. “Sure!”
It was probably thanks to Tessa’s company that his lunch tasted especially delicious today. He ate
quickly without needing anybody to persuade him to eat, let alone worry about him.
She was thinking about going home after lunch. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she was
interrupted by the urgent ringing of a phone before she could say anything
Nicholas answered the call and frowned deeply while listening to the report from Edward.
She could tell that he seemed to be having an emergency when he finally ended the call. Thus, she
asked, “Is everything okay, President Sawyer?”
His expression was gloomy. “A problem came up with the project in the neighboring city, and I need to go
there and solve this issue immediately. I might not be able to send Greg back in time.”
Gregory’s eyes immediately lit up at those words. He quickly piped up before she could even utter a
word. “It’s okay. Daddy, you can go. I’ll just stay with Miss Tessa. You can come and pick me up from her
house once you’re done with work tonight.”
Although he had made the decision to stay with her on his own, she didn’t mind at all. It was a rare
opportunity for them to be together alone, so naturally, she would not refuse.
She nodded. “Leave Greg to me. You don’t need to worry, President Sawyer.”

“Thanks.” Nicholas nodded gratefully. Afterward, he got into his car and left the restaurant.
Once Nicholas was gone, Tessa looked at Gregory. “What should we do now? Do you have a place you
want to go? I will bring you there.”
“Anywhere?” He blinked in delight.
She nodded. “Yeah. Where do you want to go?”
“The aquarium!” he replied happily.
It was rare for him to have somewhere that he particularly wanted to go. Besides, it
was not a dangerous place. Hence, she immediately nodded to indicate her agreement to his
suggestion. “Sure. Let’s head for the aquarium immediately.”
“Miss Tessa, you’re the best!” He kissed her on the cheek, leaving a saliva mark on her face.
After buying the tickets online, Tessa brought Gregory to the aquarium. It was a working day today. For
that reason, not many people were at the aquarium, and they could enter the aquarium without needing
to wait.
“Wow! Miss Tessa, it looks so cool inside!” Gregory was greeted by the sight of a water tank that arched
over their heads as soon as they entered the aquarium. Moreover, there was a school of fish swimming
playfully above their heads. He couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.
