Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)
Chapter 433

Chapter 433 Black Wolves Mercenary Group

In the brightly lit ward, Nicholas stayed by Tessa’s side and comforted her over and over again. Gradually, her rapid breathing slowed down and she fell asleep again, but her brows were still furrowed. Seeing this, he gently helped her smooth out her frown.

Later, Hathaway, Kathleen, and Scott hurried over. As Hathaway hadn’t heard from Nicholas for a long time, she gave him a call. She originally planned to use her connections to help replace Tessa, but he told her that he had already found her.

“Mr. Sawyer, how is Tessa’s condition?” As soon as they entered the ward, Hathaway and Scott asked with concern.

Nicholas glanced at them indifferently and answered in a low voice, “Tessa is fine, but she got frightened.”

Hearing this, both Hathaway and Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Tessa, whose pale figure was lying in bed, Kathleen couldn’t help but wonder, “Why was she kidnapped for no reason?”

As soon as she said that, Hathaway and Scott also became curious. At the same time, they also had doubts about Nicholas’ identity; they thought Tessa’s boyfriend was strange. Although he was obviously from Xerthania, he managed to replace her so quickly in Vienna.

Nicholas didn’t know what the two were thinking, and he glanced at Kathleen indifferently with no intention to explain. Realizing that, Kathleen curled her lips, but she didn’t dare to say anything, mainly because the aura that Nicholas exuded had her feeling he was not one to be messed with.

At that, Hathaway and Scott changed the topic and asked when Tessa would wake up.

“I don’t know,” Nicholas replied curtly. He was really in no mood to deal with them. He said dismissively, “Thank you for your concern tonight. It’s very late now, and Tessa needs a good resting environment.”

Understanding the meaning of his words, Hathaway and Scott didn’t say anything, but only nodded and left with Kathleen.

…

In the middle of the night, the surroundings were quiet when a scream suddenly cut through the night. Tessa woke up from a nightmare with a jolt and sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.

Nicholas, who had been dozing off beside her, immediately strode to the bed when he heard her voice, asking anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

Tessa looked at him in a daze before she immediately leaned forward to hug him. “Nicholas.”

After a brief pause, he lightly patted Tessa’s trembling back, and said soothingly, “Don’t be scared. It’s all over.”

Hearing this, she tightened her arms around his waist and said in a choked voice, “Nicholas, I was so scared. No one came to save me no matter how much I begged. I thought I was done for, and I even thought of just dying like this.”

Listening to Tessa’s words, Nicholas felt his heart wrenching. “It’s all right now; don’t be scared. I’ll always be by your side.”

He pulled her out of his arms and held her tear-stained face, slowly kissing off the tears that kept overflowing from the corners of her eyes. Under his coaxing, she gradually calmed down and fell asleep in a daze again.

Looking at her innocent sleeping face, Nicholas sat quietly beside her. As time slowly ticked by, the dark night sky gradually brightened, and the sun began to peek out from the horizon.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

“Come in.” As soon as Nicholas’ cold voice fell, Austin pushed the door open and walked into the ward.

He swept his gaze past Tessa, who was asleep, and reported in a low voice, “Boss, the investigation is complete.”

“Who’s behind it?” When Nicholas turned around, his dark eyes seemed to boil with anger as he stared at Austin intently.

His body trembling from the pressure, Austin replied, “Those three guys explained that they are from the Black Wolves Mercenary Group.”

“Black Wolves Mercenary Group?” Nicholas narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Austin nodded and continued, “This mercenary group would do anything for money. After asking around, I found out that someone hired them to humiliate Miss Tessa.”
