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?"
Michelle only recalled that Helen, who was old, sickly, and frail, was living with her after hearing Tessa's words. If Helen caught Tessa's flu, it might prove fatal for her. She scratched her head, mumbling, "Then…"
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
"Alright, then."
…
After lunch was over, Michelle gave the entire apartment a thorough cleaning, making sure that the bedrooms and living room were spotless. She then made a trip to the grocery store to purchase some daily necessities.
After she was done, she cracked open the door to Tessa's room. "Tessa, I've stocked up on some daily necessities. There's fruit in the fridge, and your favorite snacks are on the coffee table in the living room."
Tessa lay in bed, and only her head was visible from how she had wrapped herself up in the blanket. "Okay, thanks for your hard work, Ms. Mercer."
"I'll be leaving now. Feel free to call me if anything comes up."

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
