Chapter 366

Stephen had replied, texting, "I'm fine. You should rest."

The worry in Tessa's heart didn't abate even after reading that text.

How could he be fine? His father and grandmother had both passed away.

She wanted to comfort him. She rubbed her eyes, desperately willing herself to stay awake.

She typed a response... and then hastily deleted that sentence.

She tried to type out another line of words, but found it lacking.

In the end, Tessa couldn't shoot him a comforting text. She felt as though anything she could offer was a hollow comfort.

Soon, she felt drowsiness dragging her down to its sleepy depths. She couldn't keep her eyes peeled.

Eventually, she clutched her phone to her chest and fell asleep.

Tessa had a dream that night.

A boy was watching his father hugging another boy. He watched the scene with sad and envious eyes.

She approached the boy and noticed that he had Stephen's eyes.
