His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 371

The weather was wonderful today. The blue sky was dotted with fluffy clouds, while the sun was bright but not scorching hot.

Tessa's doctor said that her wounds were pretty much healed and that she could be discharged from the hospital in about a week or so.

As Tessa looked at the sky around noon, she figured there was no harm in getting some fresh air in the garden.

This hospital was owned by the Yates Corporation. It was one of their private medical facilities.

Before she was transferred here, she had been staying at a public hospital. It had been the one closest to where she'd been shot the other day. Samuel had wanted her out of that hospital when Caleb committed suicide.

Unfortunately, Tessa had just been moved to a regular ward after her stay in the ICU. So, it wasn't advisable for her to transfer to a different hospital. Samuel had ultimately chosen to follow the doctor's recommendations for the sake of her health.

Still, Tessa was transferred to her current hospital after Caleb's and Rowena's funerals.

It had been raining for days on end recently, putting everyone in a poor mood.

Tessa didn't hesitate to walk out of her ward to take a stroll now that the sun was out. Her faithful bodyguard, Wynn, naturally followed after her.

Tessa had just stepped out of the elevator and into the inpatient building when her eyes landed on a familiar figure.

It was Wendy.

What was she doing here?

The case regarding Wendy's actions of inciting her fans and slandering Tessa had just been settled in court a few days ago.

Wendy had been found guilty of defamation and was sentenced to one year in prison.

When she discovered the verdict, she found it utterly unacceptable and promptly filed for an appeal.

Now, Wendy's case was being reviewed.

As Tessa was the plaintiff and Wendy the defendant, she found it odd that Wendy would show up in her hospital. After all, they got along like a house and fire, with Wendy being the house and Tessa setting it on fire.

Then again, it was possible that Wendy had no idea that she was currently in a hospital owned by Yates Corporation.

Since the garden Tessa was planning to visit was in Wendy's direction, she saw no reason to circle away. Instead, she walked toward Wendy.

When she got closer, she noticed that Wendy looked pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.
