Chapter 576

In the end, when things started to go wrong, he was the first one to run away!

Tessa took a deep breath.

What kind of people was she meeting?

They were completely unreliable.

Why was it that everyone Aurora met seemed so capable and dependable?

Her life, on the other hand, felt like walking on thin ice.

The people she encountered were always average.

Take Julian, for example.

Though he wasn’t bad-looking, compared to Lucas, he was probably a little lacking.

But, in Ravenshore, he was still one of the wealthy elites.

Compared to others, he was considered part of the influential crowd.

After meeting so many men, Tessa had finally realized that Julian wasn’t a bad man.

It was just that, when it came to her matters, he didn’t seem too invested.

She knew this, but it didn’t change much. It even made her a bit sad.

For him to be able to say so much to her now was already a significant step.

Tessa understood that.

That was why she kept hesitating about marriage.

It was precisely because of this that she didn’t want to rush into marriage.

She knew that once married, it was a lifelong commitment, and that wasn’t very favorable for women.

Not to mention, it was like being tied down.

If she wanted to back out later, it would be considered a second marriage, which would hinder her future development and wasn’t really appropriate.

Tessa had always been a very clear-headed person.

But when faced with Grace’s questioning, Tessa didn’t know what to say.

“Mom, don’t worry. The company is fine.”

Hearing this, Grace finally sighed in relief.

But she still felt a little puzzled.

“If the company is fine, then why are you calling me now?”

Grace’s instincts were always sharp, and she sensed something was off.

If there was nothing wrong, Tessa, being the independent person she was, wouldn’t have called her.

Even if something did happen, she usually handled it on her own.

Grace could tell that Tessa had her own pride and dignity.

Chapter 576

If she could deal with something herself, she wouldn’t ask anyone else how to handle it.

Thinking back to what Lucas had done earlier, Tessa couldn’t help but share her thoughts.

“Mom, I know Aurora is sick, and I came to the hospital to visit her.”

“And then?”

For some reason, Grace had an ominous feeling.

Something didn’t feel right in her gut, especially after Tessa said that.

She felt a little confused.

After visiting a patient at the hospital, was that the tone one would use?

Her mood didn’t seem quite right either.

Tessa’s voice choked as she said, “I don’t know. I just came to visit Aurora, but some things happened. My brother-in-law insists on transferring her to another hospital.”

“Why is transferring her to another hospital a problem?”

Sometimes, Grace really couldn’t understand Tessa’s thought process.

It was just a transfer.

The condition hadn’t improved after such a long time.

If it were her, she’d want to transfer too.

So why did it seem like such a serious matter when it came from Tessa?

Grace still didn’t quite understand what Tessa meant sometimes.
