NovelEnglishChapter 96
“I’m fine, Andrew. Thanks!” Tessa expressed her gratitude and slowly sat up straight in bed.
At the same time, Gregory quickly came closer and gazed at her in a concerned manner with his
watery eyes. “Are you alright, Miss Pretty Lady? Do you still feel unwell?”
Tessa smiled and comforted the boy. “I feel a lot better now. Although I’m still a little dizzy, I think it’ll go
away in a while. Thanks for asking, Sweetheart.”
“I’m glad you’re fine. I don’t want you to fall sick, Miss Pretty Lady.” Greg heaved a sigh of relief upon
hearing Tessa’s words.
Tessa’s heart was melted by Gregory’s thoughtfulness. A few moments later, she turned her attention
to Nicholas and apologetically said, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t conduct my classes with Greg today due to
my condition, President Sawyer.”
Nicholas didn’t take it to heart and calmly said, “It’s okay. Just remember not to swim when it’s late at
night. After all, you know your own body better than anyone else.”
Tessa was reminded of what happened the night before and nodded awkwardly with her blushed

Nicholas’s eyes darkened because he was soon reminded of the call that Tessa’s grandmother had
made earlier. After a brief hesitation, he decided to go ahead and tell her about it. “Your grandmother
called you a number of times this morning and demanded that you go back, saying she has something
to speak to you about.”
Tessa was stunned when he heard Nicholas’s words. Grandmother? Is he talking about the old lady
from the Reinharts? At the thought of Amber, Tessa could be seen with her eyes turning indifferent, her
voice sounding as cold as ice. “Alright, I heard you.”
Despite Tessa’s affirmative response, it was clear that she was reluctant to return home. Deep down,
she was unhappy with Amber, whom Nicholas was referring to as her grandmother.
That old lady is not my grandma! She is just some old hag who threw a weight around and treated me
and my brother like nothing. Thanks to her, my mother lost her place in the Reinhart Family. What was
worse was that she encouraged my father to cheat on my mother by feeding him lies that my brother
and I were not his children. Because of that, my father has always hated me and Timothy.
From the moment Tessa was cast away from the Reinhart Family, she only considered her brother as
the only family member she ever had and swore to never cross paths with the Reinharts ever again, let
alone reconcile with them.
On the other hand, Nicholas could tell the indifference in Tessa’s eyes but knew that she was still wise
enough not to confront the Reinharts alone, so he said nothing about what he saw. Instead, he said,
“Alright, now that you’re feeling better, I suppose it is time for us to have lunch together. Because of
you, Greg got so worried that he didn’t even take breakfast. So, you must take care of yourself, in order
not to worry him.”
As soon as Tessa heard what Nicholas said, her glacial eyes were filled with warmth once again. She
then gazed at Gregory and spoke with a gentle voice. “Sweetheart, that’s very kind of you. I love you so
much! I promise I’ll take my medication on time and make sure not to worry you, okay?”
“That’s awesome! Alright, I love you too, Miss Pretty Lady!” Gregory nodded rapidly, his eyes lighting
up with exhilaration.
After lunch, Tessa seemed more energized upon eating. Since she had been sleeping the whole
morning, she decided not to sleep anymore but instead spent her time playing lego with Gregory in the
games’ room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the meantime, Nicholas went out and headed to his office, thinking Tessa should be fine from that
moment on. Later that afternoon, Tessa’s phone was bombarded with incoming phone calls from none
other than Amber once again.
In fact, when Amber returned to the Reinhart Residence earlier that morning, she ran into Sophia, who
exaggerated the matter about Silas and Lauren’s arrest and blamed it all on Tessa.
Upon hearing the news, Amber was taken over by her anger as she condemned Tessa for putting her
only son through so much suffering. How could Tessa do something like this to her father?! Where is
her sense of morality and decency? It was then that Amber reached for her phone and gave Tessa
order to summon the latter and give her a piece of her mind
Nevertheless, Amber’s attempt to summon Tessa was thwarted by Nicholas, who brushed off her with
an excuse that she was at work. When it was finally the afternoon, Amber’s impatience made her
restless and prompted her to make the call again. Meanwhile, Tessa eventually grew so annoyed that
she went ahead and blacklisted Amber’s number after several irritating phone calls. Out of sight, out of
mind!
On the other hand, Tessa’s action didn’t sit well with Amber, who sat on the couch with a twisted facial
expression. She then cursed Tessa with a sarcastic tone. “You b*tch! How dare you just block my
contact like that! Great! You’re starting to show me your backbone now!”
