Chapter 201

It usually got dark out early in the winter, which meant that dusk would have fallen by a little past 6:00 pm.

The housekeeper, Michelle Mercer, stood outside Tessa's room and knocked gently. "Ms. Yates, it's time for dinner."

Tessa sniffed. Her throat was slightly hoarse as she replied, "I won't be eating tonight."

Michelle did not seem to have heard her and knocked again. "Ms. Yates, are you asleep?"

Wiping her tears away, Tessa got up from her bed and tidied herself up. Then, she walked over to open the door and explained, "I don't have an appetite today. You can go ahead and have dinner yourself."

At the sight of Tessa's swollen eyes, Michelle's expression changed. "Ms. Yates, did something happen?"

Tessa shook her head, her voice fresh from crying. "I'm fine."

Feeling worried, Michelle asked, "Do you need me to contact Mr. Jacobson for you?"

She had unintentionally punched Tessa right in the gut with her question.

Tessa forced a smile that looked worse than crying. Trying to sound strong, she answered, "I'm fine. I think I'm just not used to living here yet, and I'm also a bit worried about my father's condition. So, I couldn't keep it in and broke down. You don't have to worry about me."
