Chapter 1144 Shortened Lifespan
“Yeah, Gregory’s the best.” Tessa was quick to calm the boy down. Once Gregory was no longer
throwing a tantrum, Tessa turned to smile at Nicholas. “Mr. Hall called because he was talking to me
about Gregory joining a calligraphy competition,” she explained.
“A calligraphy competition?” Nicholas raised an eyebrow puzzledly. Tessa nodded before telling him
what Quinton had told him earlier that afternoon. “I figured that it’d be a good idea since Gregory has
talent in calligraphy and since he wants to join it.”
“In that case, I’ll give you a reward if you get first place,” Nicholas said as a promise to Gregory. He
meant it as a form of encouragement. Gregory was pleased to hear this, and he widened his bright
eyes as he looked at Nicholas. “Can I ask for any reward?” the boy asked.
“Of course. Anything at all.” Nicholas nodded.
Gregory grinned as he stuck his chest out. “Then I’ll be sure to get first place!” Tessa couldn’t help but
praise her son when she saw how confident he was. “You’re an outstanding student, Gregory. I’m sure
you’ll get first place. I’ll reward you when that happens!”
“What are you going to give me, Mommy?” Gregory looked at his mother with anticipation in his eyes.
Tessa thought about it for a while before acting all mysterious. “Well, you’ll find out when the
competition is over.” Even though her response was rather disappointing to Gregory, he was still filled
with motivation to work hard. “I’m going to win first place just so that I can receive your reward.”
Gregory clenched his fists as he cheered for himself. The sight of him doing so was unbearably
adorable.
…
The next morning, Tessa headed to the hospital after Gregory started his classes. Tessa brought the
soup that the chef had prepared over to Amber’s ward. To her surprise, Amber was extremely worked
up the moment Tessa walked in. “You little brat! How dare you come now? You disappeared for so
many days—how dare you say that you would take care of me? You were just giving me empty
promises all along!”
Amber glared at Tessa angrily—she looked as if she was about to eat Tessa up. However, Tessa simply
acted as if she hadn’t heard anything as she passed the soup to the maid in the room. After all, Tessa
figured that there was no point in fighting with Amber. But Amber only got more infuriated when she
saw the way Tessa was ignoring her.
“I’m talking to you, you brat. Do you even care about your grandmother at all? What was going on with
all the news on the Internet? Were you ruining my reputation on purpose? I’m already in this state, yet
you’re still trying to disgrace and shame me in public. How evil can you be?” Amber pointed her finger
at Tessa as she cursed. “I want you to clarify things on the Internet right now. You have to tell everyone
that the media was the one who created all the rumors!”
Tessa simply felt like laughing when she heard Amber’s words. She looked up at the old lady as she
spoke in a sarcastic tone. “Do you even need me to do anything for your reputation to be ruined? Don’t
you know what’s going on? How dare you call them rumors? Do you think everyone else is blind?”
“I don’t care. Would all those things have gone public if you hadn’t talked badly about me on the
Internet? I want an explanation from you right now.” Amber was too ashamed, so she started to
become angry and defensive.
Tessa let out a scoff. “What’s this? You had the guts to do it back then, but you’re not admitting to your
actions now. What they said on the news was the truth, wasn’t it? Would you dare to swear on your life
that you haven’t done those things?”
Amber was speechless for a moment, and her cheeks were red with fury. Her chest was heaving as
rage boiled in her. Tessa frowned as she gave the old lady a warning. “By the way, I’m being nice by
dropping by to visit once every few days. You shouldn’t overstep your boundaries. Furthermore, if you
want to live for a while longer, perhaps you should contain your emotions. If you’re so emotional all the
time, you might just die a little earlier. I wonder if that’s the reason some people live such short lives,
huh?”
Amber stiffened right after hearing Tessa’s words. “Stop using your groundless statements to scare
me,” she hissed.
“I’m not talking nonsense. I—” Before Tessa could finish her sentence, a nurse happened to walk in, so
Tessa seized this opportunity to question the nurse. “If you don’t believe me, perhaps you could ask
this nurse. Is it true that some patients’ conditions deteriorate when they get too emotional?” Tessa
asked coldly.
