“It’s just that I saw the scar on your back and felt like touching it to see how it felt. Don’t think any more
than that.”
Upon hearing that, Tessa looked at him suspiciously. Judging from his righteous and dignified
appearance, Nicholas doesn’t seem to be such a man. There’s no flaw in his speech, and he doesn’t
look guilty either. Perhaps, it was me who misunderstood him.
But, what was he doing though, touching my scar? He’s acting strange indeed.
With an impatient tone, Nicholas urged, “Do you still wish to apply the medicine? If you do, turn
around.”
As she could not think of a possible reason for Nicholas’ action earlier, Tessa was slightly dispirited.
Since he has said so, I think Nicholas will be more mindful so as to not simply touch me again.
Hesitantly, Tessa spun around and allowed Nicholas to continue tending to her wounds.
Behind her, where Tessa could not see, Nicholas’ gaze turned deep as his deep eyes stared at the
back of her head.
Though Nicholas did test Tessa once or twice, it did not bring any substantial results at all. Instead, the
answers confused him even more.
Precisely five years ago, Nicholas clearly saw a butterfly-shaped tattoo on that woman, but she claimed
that she got the tattoo three or four years ago.
Still, it was hard for Nicholas to ignore how similarly the scar was located and how it felt.
So, is Tessa the woman stored in my memory?
There were dozens of doubtful thoughts dancing around Nicholas’ heart, but there were no immediate
answers to be given to him at the moment. This gave him an unsettling feeling.
Both parties had unsettling doubts buried in their hearts, yet none of them dared to utter a single word.
In the silence of the bathroom, there was only the sound of Nicholas applying the medicine and tending
to Tessa’s wound.
Soon enough, Tessa’s wound was painted with medicine.
After getting dressed, the two returned to the ward together.
Gregory was getting a little impatient from all the waiting. Upon seeing both Nicholas and Tessa
coming out from the bathroom, he rushed forward and clung onto Tessa’s leg. “Miss Tessa, what
happened to you earlier? Why were you gone for so long? Daddy too. Why did Daddy disappear for so
long?”
Flashing back to the scene where both of them were in the bathroom, Tessa blushed like a tomato as
she was not certain on how to answer Gregory’s question. She could only glance at Nicholas with
some embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Nicholas showed a meaningful smile and said calmly, “I was applying some medicine on
your Miss Tessa’s wound.”
Hearing the word ‘medicine’, Gregory looked at Tessa worriedly. “Miss Tessa, are you still in pain? Do
you want me to give you a helping hand?”
As he spoke, he climbed onto Tessa’s hospital bed, lay his head on her shoulders, and huffed softly.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Sweetheart.”
Once again, Tessa was struck by Gregory’s thoughtfulness and had forgotten about the embarrassing
moment earlier.
After disturbing Tessa for a while, Gregory lay beside her and fell asleep.
A knock on the door interrupted the moment.
Edward walked in. “President Sawyer, this is the document meant to be reviewed and processed
today.”
Taking the document, Nicholas just nodded. “Anything else?”
“Except Lionel, all the other kidnappers had spat out the truth and admitted their guilt. They said that
they were instructed by Lionel. They did it because they thought that since it involved the son of a rich
family, the family of the kidnapped child wouldn’t publicize the issue so as to not disturb the stability of
their stock market and image of the company. More importantly, they thought the family would certainly
not dare to contact the police at all. They also mentioned that although they kidnapped Young Master
Gregory, they didn’t cause him any substantial harm. So, they’re hoping you will forgive them and let
this slide.”
In an instant, Nicholas’ facial expression turned cold. “Tell them they can dream on.”
I really am not afraid that this incident would affect the Sawyer Group’s stock market. In my eyes,
Greg’s safety is far more important than anything else. And if these kidnappers dare to lay their hands
on even a single hair on Greg, I will never let them go.
At once, Edward felt that the surrounding air in the room seemed to be condensed. He had worked for
Nicholas for so many years, so he naturally knew what was in Nicholas’ mind. This time, it’s very
fortunate that Young Master Gregory was not injured.
Yeah, sure, these kidnappers tried to make it sound nicer than how it was. They did not harm Young
Master Gregory? How about the psychological effect of the kidnapping inflicted on Young Master
Gregory? If Tessa hadn’t arrived at the right moment, who could have imagined the level of harmful
impact the bat could have brought to Young Master Gregory’s tiny body!
Swallowing his saliva, Edward then added, “As for Lionel, Detective Lawrence said it’s inevitable that
he will subsequently face imprisonment as the evidence against him was solid.”
Upon hearing that, Nicholas nodded.
After explaining the company’s affairs, Edward left.
