His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 234

It was late January when Tessa returned from Noria. The law firm usually had its annual holiday week around this time, so all the staff members were on break.

She caught the flu on the day she returned from Noria. She fell quite ill, so she visited the hospital to get a shot. After that, she went back home and stayed in bed all day.

Michelle prepared her meals and delivered them to her.

A day before Michelle's leave was scheduled to begin, she delivered lunch to Tessa as usual. Tessa coughed a couple of times and used a tissue to wipe her leaky nose. "Ms. Mercer, your break starts tomorrow. You should leave after finishing your tasks for the day."

Michelle looked hesitant. "But you're still sick, Tessa. Who's going to take care of you if I leave?"

"It's just the flu. It's not a big deal."

Michelle said, "Why don't I send you back to the Yates residence? I'll feel more at ease knowing that your family is taking care of you."

Samuel had even called her a few days ago to ask when Tessa's annual holiday would begin.

Tessa's original plan had been to return to the Yates residence to spend time with her family when her annual holiday started. However, her flu was quite serious this time around. Considering how there was a child living there, and also the fact that Samuel was discharged from the hospital not too long ago, she had delayed her return in fear of spreading her sickness to them.

"I won't be going back for now," Tessa replied. "I'll wait till I'm better."

Michelle was rather worried about her. "So you're going to be by yourself tomorrow? Why don't you follow me home?"

Tessa shook her head. "Have you forgotten that Mrs. Wilson is staying with you, Ms. Mercer? What will I do if I spread my sickness to her?"
