Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 Lost Contact

After ending the call, Tessa let out a loud sigh. She gazed at her phone apologetically before looking at the IV drip dangling from above her. She wasn’t lying when she said that her stomach hadn’t been able to handle the food, but the truth was that she hadn’t recovered from it. She had been suffering from acute gastroenteritis, and nearly fainted during one of the orchestra rehearsals. Fortunately, the doctor said that there was no major issue. Tessa simply didn’t want to tell Nicholas about it as she didn’t want him to worry.

Hathaway was in the ward and stepped forward to help Tessa when she saw Tessa walking in from the balcony. “You’re straining yourself too much,” Hathaway complained. Tessa smiled as she sat down on the edge of her bed. “It’s such a rare opportunity. Of course, I have to work hard for it! I don’t want to miss out on this chance.”

Tessa had put in a lot of effort and energy to ensure that there would be no issues in this performance. Hathaway sighed when she heard Tessa’s words. Tessa is such a hardworking girl. If only Kathleen were half as mature as Tessa! Despite such thoughts, Hathaway put on a stern look as she warned Tessa of her actions. “I know that you really care about this performance, but your health is the most important thing. I can’t allow you to neglect yourself like this. If this happens again, I will contact your fiancé directly.”

“I got it. There will never be next time,” Tessa replied. She felt a warm sensation in her chest as she knew that Hathaway was doing this for her own good. After Tessa got an IV drip, Hathaway sent her back to the hotel. “You need to get some rest for today. You’re not allowed to practice alone, do you hear me?” Hathaway uttered before leaving.

Tessa burst out in laughter before giving her teacher an obedient nod.

…

The following day, Tessa felt much better when she woke up. Many of her members hurried over to care for her during breakfast, and she responded to each of them. Even Kathleen came over to ask about Tessa in a somewhat pretentious tone. “You’re fine, aren’t you, Tessa?”

“Yeah, I’m fine now. Thanks for asking.” Tessa responded distantly, and Kathleen didn’t seem bothered by this. “You should take care of your body. The performance is coming soon, so you wouldn’t want an accident to happen, would you?”

His expression changed the moment he heard this. “What happened?” he asked coldly.

“I’m not sure. It seems like someone managed to track Cole’s location. The witness Cole was supposed to protect disappeared first, and now Cole is gone as well.”

Janet’s eyes glistened as she spoke. “I’m injured now, so you’re the only one who can deal with this, Nicholas.”

Nicholas frowned. Even though he was worried about Cole’s safety, he still decided to reject her request.
