Chapter 476
None of them were suspicious upon hearing Kathleen’s words—they simply left along with Kathleen. After everyone left, Tessa returned with a sickly look on her face. “Where’s everyone?” she wondered when she saw the empty room.
Right then, one of the waiters from the restaurant walked over. He happened to —- overhear Tessa’s words, so he responded to her. “Are you asking about the people who were in this room? They’ve already paid the bill and left.”
“They left?” Tessa asked puzzledly. “When did they leave?”
“Just a while ago. I think you might be able to go after them if you leave now.” The waiter began cleaning the room up after finishing his words. Tessa immediately headed out of the restaurant. But unfortunately, she was a little too late, and they were nowhere to be seen by the time she ran out of the shop.

Her stomach had been uncomfortable to begin with, and she felt even worse after she jogged to chase after them. Tessa gasped in pain as she clutched onto her stomach and squatted by the side of the road. Cold sweat began to form on her forehead.
In the end, she had no choice but to pull her phone out to call Nicholas. “Is your gathering over?” Nicholas’s gentle and pleasant voice sounded on the other end of the line. Tessa bit her bottom lip as she forced her words out of her mouth. “Can you come over to pick me up, Nicholas? My stomach hurts.”
“Where are you? I’ll come right now.” His voice turned serious upon hearing her words. After she told him her location, she squatted by the stairs and waited for him to arrive.
On the other end, Nicholas ordered Edward to get the car immediately. He kept urging Edward to drive a little fast as they made their way to the restaurant. Then, about ten minutes later, Nicholas leaped out of the car to find her hunched by the stairs. He felt a twinge of pain in his chest when he saw her tiny and frail figure.
Nicholas took large strides over before lifting her into his arms. “Nicholas.” Tessa felt grateful to see Nicholas beside her, and she rested her head against his chest as he brought her back to the car. Then, when he saw how pale she looked, he hastily sent orders to Edward. “Drive us to the hospital immediately!”
Edward nodded and stepped on the gas. The black car sped off on the road at the speed of light, and Nicholas held her in his arms as he lowered his head and gently
comforted her. “We’ll reach the hospital soon. Just hold on for a while more.” She nodded lightly. Her stomach no longer hurt as much after she inhaled the man’s fresh scent.
Soon enough, they arrived at the hospital. Nicholas got Edward to register for Tessa while he brought Tessa over to the doctor’s office. “What is it?” The doctor’s gaze landed on Tessa the moment they walked in. “Gastric,” Tessa replied honestly. The doctor stood up and pressed his finger on her stomach area.
“It hurts.” Tears formed in Tessa’s eyes as she was in too much pain. When Nicholas saw this, his expression turned sour as he shot the doctor a hostile glare. “You need to be gentler,” he hissed in a cold tone.
