Always Been Yours

Chapter 447 An Unexpected Return

Nicholas was telling Tessa about the situation on his end. “Grandpa is still in a coma, and his condition is not looking very optimistic.” “How could this happen? Wasn’t he fine just a while ago? He could even come to Vienna.” Through the video call, Tessa looked at Nicholas worriedly. “Did the doctor say what was the cause?” “According to the doctor, he had too much weighing on his mind,” Nicholas replied truthfully. At that, Tessa became even more worried. If that was the case, Remus’ illness had a lot to do with Nicholas’ refusal to marry and his leaving. She looked at Nicholas, her gaze anxious and distressed. “Are you alright? Did your parents blame you?” At the same time, she began to blame herself. Why wasn’t she better? If she were better, Nicholas wouldn’t have to bear so much pressure by choosing to be her. At that thought, her eyes turned red. Upon seeing that, Nicholas knew that she was worrying about unnecessary things again, so he coaxed her gently, “I’m fine, don’t think too much about it.” Tessa sniffled and nodded, trying to control her emotions. She didn’t want him to worry about her on top of his grandfather’s condition. After the two talked for a little longer, Nicholas said, “I still have things to deal with here, so I’ll call you later when I have time.” “Okay. You have to take care of yourself and Greg,” Tessa reminded him with a nod before hanging up the phone. However, her heart still felt a little heavy. “I hope Old Master Sawyer will get well soon.” Tessa put her phone away and prayed for Remus. Soon after, she collected her emotions and continued to practice her violin. A while later, Hathaway came over to visit.

playing her violin, she did not immediately step forward to interrupt but stood quietly at the door and listened instead. She had always felt that Tessa was the only other person she had seen besides Scott with a very high talent for music. When she saw Tessa put down the violin after she finished playing, she clapped with a satisfied smile on her face. “You’ve improved a lot. The emotions in your melody are a lot stronger than before.” When she heard Hathaway’s voice, Tessa looked up in surprise. “Miss Hathaway, when did you get here?” “Not long ago. I saw that you were practicing, so I didn’t want to bother you.” Saying that, Hathaway walked into the practice room and informed her, “Previously, the performance in Xerthania kept getting postponed, but this time it has finally been confirmed, so I came to tell you that the performance is set for next week.
