Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1285

Timothy had no idea how his sister had jumped to this topic all of a sudden. He usually had a smart and thoughtful look on his face, but all Tessa saw now was an expression of confusion. She couldn’t help but tease him.

“Look at how happy I am with my family. My son is so adorable, too! Don’t you want a family like this?” she asked. “Furthermore, whenever you see me with Nicholas and Gregory, don’t you ever feel lonely?”

Timothy lowered his head to give her words some thought. Then, he shook his head firmly. “I don’t feel that way.”

Tessa was speechless-she didn’t know how to continue the conversation anymore. Even Gregory couldn’t help but let out a laugh at that point. “You’re like a piece of wood, Uncle Tim.”

“Do you even know what that’s supposed to mean, kid?” Timothy shot Gregory an exasperated glare.

Gregory lifted his chin with a haughty look on his face. “Of course. I know way more than you think!” he insisted. Both Tessa and Timothy chuckled at the comedic look on the child’s face. After joking around for a while, they returned to the topic of Timothy’s marriage.

“Honestly, I think you should give it a try if you meet any decent woman around you, Tessa said. Timothy simply shot her an exasperated stare. “There’s no need to rush, Tessa. What matters now is that you get better. That’s my top priority, Timothy uttered.

Tessa felt a warm sensation in her chest when she heard how much Timothy cared for her. “Well, you shouldn’t just think about me. You have to think about yourself, too,” Tessa replied in a nagging tone. Timothy nodded. “I’ll think about all of that once I’m back from my studies. As of now, you and my career are the two things that matter the most to me,” he uttered.

Timothy nodded before he left. “Take care of your mom, okay?” he reminded Gregory before leaving. It didn’t take long for Timothy to arrive at the hospital, but when he did, he was told that Amber had been sent to the emergency department. Timothy stood around and waited outside for nearly two hours before a doctor walked out. The doctor looked extremely drained and fatigued.

“How is Old Mrs. Reinhart, doctor? Why did her condition worsen all of a sudden?” Timothy asked. “Well, Old Mrs. Reinhart is extremely stubborn. She doesn’t comply with the treatment procedures, and she hides her medication so that she doesn’t have to eat them.

That’s why her condition is worsening,” the doctor explained. The doctor sounded increasingly troubled as he continued speaking. “If she goes on like this, she won’t be able to survive for more than a year,” he uttered.

Timothy felt oddly agitated upon hearing this. “In other words, there’s no use for Old Mrs. Reinhart to stay in the hospital if she’s going to
refuse treatment anyway. It might be better for her to just head home then, the doctor suggested.
