Chapter 816 A Mother’s Sadness
“No worries.” Scott looked at Tessa and inquired, “Why didn’t you retaliate right away? It doesn’t appear
to be the way you handle things.”
“I…” She paused, unsure how to respond.
While it was true that her character was not to be bullied by others, she did feel some remorse for
Hathaway.
Scott could see her emotions through her eyes and made some educated guesses.
“Don’t overthink things. Kathleen’s death is unrelated to you.”
“Tessa, even Mr. Brooks said so. Please don’t take it so seriously.” Mona agreed with Scott and stated,
“Those people are just jealous that Miss Hathaway values you, hence the green eyes. Ignore their
snide remarks.”
Tessa pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Even so, Scott noticed her sadness and could not help but be concerned.

leave right away.
Tessa, on the other hand, was adamant about staying. Just as she was about to refuse, he urged her
again.
“Don’t worry. I’ll enlighten the seniors on your behalf. Have a good rest and as much as you wanna
fight this through, you must consider the child in your womb.”
At last, Tessa left the hospital after agreeing with Scott. Nonetheless, she was unable to relax even
when she returned home.
“Tessa, I urge you to stop thinking about it. It’s bad for the baby,” Mona advised upon noticing Tessa’s
anxiety.
“But, I just can’t stop myself. I’m very worried about Miss Hathaway’s situation.” Tessa mumbled, “If I
had known Kathleen would be so extreme, I…”
Mona understood despite the unfinished words. She’s taking the blame upon herself.
“Please don’t think that way. You can’t blame yourself with Kathleen’s death. It’s her who causes the
most harm to others. Had she not targeted and harmed you, there wouldn’t be as many consequences,
so it’s all her fault,” Mona stated solemnly.
Although saying such things about a deceased person was inappropriate, it was the truth!
Meanwhile, in the hospital room…
Scott had also met Hathaway, but her condition was unwell.
Lying on the hospital bed, she was pale with red and swollen eyes while her entire body was filled with
sadness as if she had lost her soul.
He had never seen Hathaway like this before.
He called her several times, but she did not answer.
“What happened to Miss Hathaway?” He gave Blaire a worried expression.
“Miss Hathaway is grieving,” she explained.
Then, she stepped forward and lightly nudged Hathaway. “Miss Hathaway, Mr. Brooks is here to see
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou.”
Only then did Hathaway’s unfocused eyes begin to open and her gaze was drawn to Scott.
He looked up to meet her worried gaze.
“You must persevere, Miss Hathaway.”
“Thank you for stopping by.” Her lips curled into a slight smile, but her voice was weak and sad.
Scott looked at her and felt uneasy, so he advised, “No one can be resurrected from the dead. I’m
sending my condolences to you, but please stay optimistic because the days ahead are still long.”
“But… I won’t have Kathleen in the future,” she wailed from the bottom of her throat. Tears rolled down
her cheeks and onto the pillow.
Understanding the anguish of a mother losing her daughter, he sighed and did everything he could to
appease her.
Under his comfort, Hathaway gradually calmed down.
After a while, he felt the time was right to bring up Tessa.
“Miss Hathaway, when I arrived, I noticed Miss Reinhart and the other orchestra members were barred
from entering your room; they are worried about you. Why did you not let them in?”
She remained deafeningly silent.
Scott, on the other hand, was well aware that she refused to see Tessa.
