Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Don’t Wait

They hadn’t just captured the men trying to run out of the cave, and even surrounded the entire hill to ensure that all the criminals were put behind bars. Once this was done, Cole finally had the time to check on Nicholas. “How’s your injury? Can you hang in there for a while more?”

“I’m fine,” Nicholas said as he stood up to show that he was alright. But to his surprise, he felt the world around him spinning when he got to his feet. He couldn’t move his injured shoulder at all as it was completely numb. Cole hurried forward to steady Nicholas when he saw Nicholas stumbling backward. “What is it?” Cole asked worriedly.

“Whatever they attacked me with seemed to have had some tranquilizer. My head’s spinning, and I can’t feel my shoulder.” Nicholas was honest about his condition. Cole was shocked to hear this, and he hurriedly ordered someone to send Nicholas to the hospital. While they were on the way there, Nicholas could no longer fight against the potent chemicals in his bloodstream, eventually passing out.

He was frustrated about how he couldn’t travel overseas just moments before he lost all consciousness. Unfortunately, it seems like I won’t be able to catch the last flight there!

…

The actual show day came in the blink of an eye. However, Tessa didn’t receive any news from Nicholas, and she had a bad feeling about his sudden disappearance. Timothy noticed how uneasy his sister seemed, so he gave her a suggestion. “Why don’t you just call Nicholas and ask him where he is, Tessa?”

Cole wasn’t aware of all this, of course. He hurried out of the room after hearing Janet’s response. On the other hand, Janet moved a chair closer to the bed so she could sit down and admire Nicholas’ flawless face. A sly grin formed on her lips as she gazed at him. Great. Now, he can’t abandon me to go and meet that b*tch, Tessa.

The room was eerily quiet until a ringing phone broke the silence. When Janet saw that it was a call from Tessa, her initial thought had been to ignore it. However, the phone continued ringing. Janet narrowed her eyes as she seemed to realize something. There was a mysterious look on her face as she picked the call up. “Where are you, Nicholas? When are you coming?” Tessa’s gentle voice came from the phone. Janet scoffed. “You shouldn’t wait for him, Miss Reinhart. It’s impossible for him to go there now, and he has more important things to handle other than music.” She ended the call immediately after that.

Tessa clutched her phone as she sat on the hotel bed. Her expression seemed rather gloomy, and Timothy and Gregory immediately caught on. “What did Nicholas say? Did he make you angry?”
