Always Been Yours

The Tompkins nodded and offered an invitation to Tessa and Timothy.

"Once Henry is better, the two of you and Mr. Sawyer should come over for a meal. I'll be cooking my best dishes," Mrs. Tompkins said.

"That sounds great. We'll be there."

Tessa smiled as she accepted the invitation.

The few of them continued to talk until Henry needed to rest. Thereafter, they left the hospital.

Nicholas had done a lot for them this time.

Hence, on the way back, Tessa leaned against him and gratefully said, "Thank goodness you helped us this time. I would not have known what to do otherwise."

"Timothy could have resolved this matter himself even without me. However, with my help, the issue was resolved faster with fewer risks of accidents."

Nicholas shook his head as he analyzed the situation for her.

Tessa nodded in response, but she still felt very grateful.

Later that day, they arrived home.

"The madam has brought the young masters back to the main house," Andrew quickly reported. "They will apparently be back tomorrow."

Nicholas nodded and dismissed him.
