Tessa had been worried the whole afternoon. Now that Stephen was out of life-threatening danger, she wanted to see him.
After all, he had taken a stab for her.
"Be good and come home with me!" Samuel spoke sternly.
Tessa shook her head and said firmly, "Dad, I know you're very upset right now, but I can't go home just yet. Stephen risked his life for me. If he wakes up and doesn't see me, he will really be sad."
Ralph was quite moved, and he turned to Samuel. "Samuel, my wife spoke harshly earlier. I apologize on her behalf, so please forgive her."
Caleb added, "It's as she says. Stephen will definitely want to see Tessa when he wakes up."
Sophia chimed in, "Don't be angry. It's a good thing the two kids share such strong feelings for each other."
Since even someone high in ascendancy like Ralph had humbled himself to apologize, Samuel couldn't say much more.
While Rowena was indeed unreasonable, the rest of Jacobsons were still clear-headed.
After a pause, he looked at Tessa. "Fine, you can stay. I'll go home to check on your sister."
Once Samuel left, Tessa apologized again for her impulsiveness.
Sophia sighed and took her hand. "Tessa, don't blame yourself. None of this is your fault. I know you didn't want to see Stephen get hurt either. Ultimately, this is our mistake. Your father was right."
Tears welled up in Tessa's eyes. "I want to see Stephen."
Sophia held her hand. "Let's go together."
…
As soon as Stephen opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Tessa's worried face.
When Tessa saw him rouse, her nose tingled, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Stephen, you're finally awake."
Stephen forced a faint smile, his voice gentle as he said, "Don't cry. I'm not going to die."

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...
