Chapter 432 A Rare Sight “Yes, boss.” Austin responded and immediately led his subordinates to attack the kidnappers.
Seeing that, Nicholas stopped caring about them and turned to look at Tessa, who was standing by the
side and holding on to her clothes. Feeling pained, he took off his suit jacket and walked toward her.
Although she had already recognized him, she was still in shock. As she watched him approach her, she
subconsciously took a step back, trembling all over.
When Nicholas saw that, his heart ached even more, and the urge to kill rose inside of him. Taking a
deep breath, he strode forward and wrapped his suit jacket firmly around her thin shoulders, then
embraced her in his arms.
“I’m sorry for being late.” He soothed her while kissing her on the forehead.
Listening to the low, magnetic voice coming from above and smelling the familiar and reassuring scent,
Tessa couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into tears. She tugged Nicholas’ clothes closely to her chest,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther whole body trembling. Feeling the fear emanating from her, he hugged her tightly.
He lowered his head and whispered softly in Tessa’s ear to comfort her, “Don’t be scared, I’m here.”
Perhaps his soothing worked, for she gradually calmed down.
Just then, Austin walked over handsomely, dressed in a black leather coat and army boots. His striking
features were extremely lacking in expression, as though he were a carbon copy of Nicholas. However,
at that moment, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He had never seen his boss being so gentle
before.
As he wondered about this, his gaze subconsciously fell on Tessa. He knew of her existence, but he’d
only heard of her and had never seen her in person. Unfortunately, he still couldn’t see anything as
Nicholas had wrapped her tightly in his arms.
With no other choice, he retracted his gaze and reported his purpose of coming forward. “Boss, I found
that they had planned this kidnapping. They had specially prepared cameras to take a video.”
Saying that, he handed over the camera that he had just seized earlier.
Still in Nicholas’ arms, Tessa suddenly raised her head. She didn’t know about the camera at all. As she
stared at the camera in Austin’s hand, she was shocked, and angered, but more importantly, she felt
fear. If he hadn’t arrived just in time, she couldn’t even begin to imagine what she would’ve faced.
Bursting out in fury, Nicholas grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground. With a dark expression,
he growled fiercely, “Find out who’s behind this!”
“Yes!” Austin jolted before he nodded, accepting the orders.
He hadn’t seen his boss getting this angry for a long time, and his eyes swept toward Tessa again
unconsciously. Just before he could take a closer look, Nicholas picked her up and strode out of the
warehouse.
On the way back, perhaps because she was too frightened or tired, Tessa drifted asleep in Nicholas’
arms. As he looked at her pale face, he was filled with worry and urged the driver to speed up. At the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsame time, he asked Edward to notify the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctors and nurses who had been notified a long time ago immediately
took Tessa, who was unconscious, for a checkup.
“Mr. Sawyer, Miss Reinhart doesn’t have any major injuries except for some wounds, but she is a little
frightened.” After a round of examinations, the doctor reported the results to Nicholas.
Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, but his expression was still dark. After the doctor left,
he stayed in the ward. Looking at the sleeping girl in bed, he retrieved some warm water from the
bathroom, intending to help Tessa wipe her face and hands. But as soon as the warm handkerchief
touched her cheek, she suddenly broke out from her daze and started to murmur in a panic, her hands
swinging in the air.
“Don’t touch me, go away! Nicholas, save me…”
The moment Nicholas heard that, his breathing hitched, and his heart ached with an indescribable pain.
He grabbed Tessa’s hands that were flailing in midair, bent forward, and softly comforted, “Don’t be
scared, I’m here.”
