After dinner and some rest, Tessa helped Nicholas wash up by bringing a basin of lukewarm water to wipe down his body.

As much as she was abashed, her heart ached even more. When she saw the blood-stained gauzes, it got her eyes red-rimmed again.

“It hurts, doesn’t it?”

“Not really. It’s not as bad anymore.” He didn’t want her to put all her attention on his injuries, so he urged, “It’s getting late. Go on and get some rest. You’ve had a long day.”

Tessa nodded in response. She was indeed spent after a day of fright and panic. Nicholas was staying in a VIP ward, so a companion bed came with it. After a quick clean-up, Tessa lay on the other bed.

“You have to call me if anything, alright? Don’t push yourself,” she exhorted worriedly before tucking in.

“I will.”

It was only after receiving Nicholas’ promise that Tessa drifted off to sleep.

Silence filled the space as the night got darker, but suddenly, the door to the ward was opened, and a tall figure entered.

“Who’s there?” Nicholas shot his eyes open warily almost as soon as the person came in, emitting malevolence.

“It’s me, boss.” The dark figure stood deferentially in the middle of the ward.

Only then did Nicholas realize it was his subordinate. With that, he tucked away his hostility and asked gravely, “What is it?”

“Mr. Jackson sent me to investigate your accident,” the subordinate answered in a low voice. “As such, I’ve come to report what I’ve discovered. Someone deliberately cut the spotlight’s wire.”

Unsurprisingly, Nicholas turned grim upon hearing so. Turns out the accident was no accident at all.

“Did you find out who’s behind this?”

“I’ve kept my eyes on the managing director, but he found nothing from their surveillance cameras. Also, because there were many stagehands and the venue’s structure is rather complicated, no one can be sure who did it,” The subordinate answered honestly, rendering Nicholas grimmer.

When morning came, Tessa asked Hathaway for a leave of absence as soon as she woke up.

After all, she wasn’t comfortable leaving Nicholas alone in the hospital, and Hathaway naturally approved of the leave.

Just like that, Tessa stayed in the hospital and cared for Nicholas.

Gregory stayed in the hospital too, never once kicking up a fuss. He was on his best behavior.

More than that, he would even help Tessa with anything within his capability, such as pouring water and washing the fruits.

Sometime later, Hathaway came bearing supplements.

“How are you feeling today, Mr. Sawyer?” she asked with concern while looking at the bed-ridden Nicholas.

“Not too bad.” His gaze was distant.

However, Hathaway wasn’t bothered. She turned to Tessa and said, “Since Mr. Sawyer’s injured, you should just stay here and take care of him for the next few days. You can return a few days before the concert.”
