Tessa shook her head and said firmly, “Tut, I know you’re very upset right now, but team to home post yet. Stephen risked his life for me. If he wakes up and doesn’t see

Caleb added, “It’s as she sins. Stephen will definitely want Inser Tessa when he wakes up
Sophia chimed in, “Don’t be angry It’s a good thing the two kids share och strong feelings for each other.”
Since even someone high in ascendancy bloe Halph had humbled himself to apologize, Samuel condlay’t say much more
While Rowena was indeed unreasonable, the rest of Jacobsons were stillclear 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.”
Sophia stood to the side while wiping away her tears. “You scared me half to death. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn’t want
to live either.”
Caleb frowned “Why do you always say bad things that could bring about had luck!”
Tessa’s tears fell in streams. Seeing that, Stephen fell distressed. He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but struggled due to the intense pain from the wound after the
anesthesu wore off
Tessa quickly grabbed his hand “Stephen…”
“Tessa, don’t cry” A faint smile appeared on Stephen’s pale face, his gaze tender yet pained. “As long you’re safe, nothing else matters to me.”
“No, that’s not true. Tessa wiped away her tears and saitled “We both have to be okay”
“What are you saying, Tessa’Aren’t you both now safe and sound?” Sophiatowned.
“How is Selane?” Stephen asked at this moment.
Tessa’s eyes were red “Seline is safe now
“That’s good
hia added, “You almost lost your life and are still worrying about others, just focus on your recovery. Don’t worry about anything else. We will handle it.”
“Dad, Mom, please leave us alone for a moment,” Stephen said weakly.
Understanding his request, Soplija and Gadeb left the roDILE.
Stephen looked at Tessa with concem. “Tessa, they didn’t give you a hard time, did they?!
Tessa shook her head, her heart aching.
Even in his current state, Stephen was still worried about whether she had been indstreated.
She tried her best to bold back her tears and forced a sanile. “Stephen, you have to get better soon. We still need to hold our engagement ceremony”
Stephen’s pale lips curved into a faint smile. “Alright, I promise you.”
