That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 138

Chapter 138
The moment Gregory gorged on a piece of pork ribs, his eyes lit up. “Mr. Timothy, this tastes amazing! These ribs taste divine and are exactly like the one made at home by the chef!”
Upon hearing that, Timothy smiled at Gregory and said, “Young Master Gregory, your flattery is not suitable for a humble servant like me. Surely, I could not be compared to a five-star chef. Help yourself to some more of those ribs since you find it delectable.”
Gregory nodded vigorously and continued to eat. “I’m not sprouting nonsense here. Mr. Timothy, your cooking is truly delicious; these ribs can even bring the dead back to life!”
Upon hearing Gregory’s comment about the food, the adults burst into laughter.
After everyone enjoyed their meal, Timothy cleaned up the tableware and sat down immediately, not wanting to return to the university one bit.
Feeling slightly amused, Tessa glanced at the time. “Tim, don’t you still have classes in the afternoon?”
“Tess, don’t speed me up. I didn’t say I wouldn’t return to my classes. I’m merely hoping to spend some time with you. That’s all.”
Seeing he was busted, Timothy scratched his head with slight embarrassment.

After sitting for a while, though reluctant, Timothy was silently urged by Tessa to return to his classes. “I’ll be back soon.”
Tessa laughed yet slightly scolded, “You’d better hurry up and return to your classes instead of waddling like a child in the playground.”
Contented with the food and drink she had, Tessa felt more awake and spirited than when she woke up this morning.
After entertaining Gregory for a short while, Tessa felt a burning sensation of pain coming from her back.
Tessa managed to endure it for a while. However, the pain didn’t subside in the slightest. In fact, it was the opposite. The pain intensified, resulting in her forehead gleaming with sweat a little.
I suppose it’s about time to apply the medicine and change the dressing.
Fortunately for Tessa, the nurse left the medicine in the ward and noted to her that if the wound started to hurt, she should seek assistance from her family to apply medication or let the nurse do it when it was time to change the wound dressing.
Unfortunately, in her current situation, it was nearly impossible for her to wait for the nurse to arrive. There was only Nicholas available at the moment, but Tessa felt embarrassed to ask him for assistance.
The only solution to Tessa in dealing with the crisis was clear. Left with no choice, she took the medicine and went into the bathroom, thinking she could apply the medicine on her wound first to at least combat the pain she was feeling now.
Upon locking herself up in the bathroom, Tessa took off the hospital robe to only the crook of her hand. After removing the gauze, to her horror, she found that her back was painted and drenched in blood.
This was her very first time confronting her wounds, so Tessa took a deep breath of cold air to calm down. Her hands could not reach the wound, but at the same time, she could not delay the medication she so badly needed any longer. Thus, she took a Q-tip, dipped it into the medicinal liquid, and moved it
in the direction of her wound.
However, the location of the wound made it very tricky for her to treat on her own. After spending so much time, all Tessa had was a sore arm instead of getting the job done.
Seeing this was going nowhere, Tessa took a short break. Then, she gritted her teeth for another attempt, yet she still could not reach it.
After several more attempts, some sweats dripped from the tip of her nose:
