Chapter 1109 Kick up a Fuss
“Everything’s fine. The caregiver just called to say that the hospital has arranged for that
old lady to undergo chemo first thing in the morning tomorrow. Also, they want us there,
so…” Tessa replied frankly without hiding anything.
In response, Nicholas frowned without saying anything much. He simply expressed his
concern, “Do you want me to go with you?”
“That’s not necessary. You’ve got work tomorrow. I’ll be alright by myself and the
caregiver will be there to help me too. It’ll be fine.” She shook her head and rejected his
offer.
Since Nicholas had assisted her a lot in this matter, she felt bad about having him go the
extra mile. Next, he considered it for a moment before agreeing as there were some
important matters that he had to deal with at work tomorrow. However, he did not feel at
ease letting Tessa handle Amber by herself.
“I’ll get Edward to go with you.”
“Sure.” Tessa knew that he was worried about her safety, so she nodded in agreement.
…
The next morning, Edward arrived as soon as Tessa finished having her breakfast.

“President Sawyer, Madam Tessa,” he greeted them in the living room respectfully.
Nicholas nodded and instructed, “Keep Tessa safe.”
“Yes, sir.” Edward nodded and affirmed.
As soon as Amber saw Tessa at the hospital, she instantly glowered at her granddaughter.
“It took you long enough to get here. Did you do this on purpose just to delay my
treatment?”
Meanwhile, Tessa looked at the unreasonable old lady and ignored her. Subsequently, she
turned to ask the caregiver, “What time does her chemo start?”
“10.00AM,” the caregiver replied frankly.
Nodding, Tessa lowered her head to glance at the time on her phone. We still have ten
more minutes to go. We should head there now.
Just as she was about to instruct the caregiver to make a move, Amber expressed her
annoyance with being ignored. “Tessa Reinhart, I’m talking to you right now! Is this how
you treat your elders?”
“Firstly, you’ve never behaved as how an elder should, so unfortunately for you, I don’t
regard you as one. Now, let’s not waste each other’s time.” Tessa looked at her
grandmother with a cold gaze and added indifferently, “There’s not much time left until
you’re due for your chemo. Do you really want to waste your time with me here?”
At this point, Amber was angered beyond words by Tessa’s attitude, but since she
treasured her dear life so much, she turned around and berated her caregiver instead.
“Didn’t you hear her? It’s about time! Get me out of bed!”
The caregiver was not bothered by her harsh attitude as she diligently helped Amber out
of bed. After all, the caregiver knew what she was getting into from the start of the
assignment.
The group then left the ward and headed over to the chemotherapy ward. Edward
remained by Tessa’s side and guarded her protectively to prevent her from being jostled
by the passersby.
Meanwhile, Amber glanced at Tessa who was walking ahead elegantly with poise and she
could not control the hatred within her. I’m living like a pauper right now, but that b*tch
has married into a wealthy family and is now waiting on hand and foot!
Naturally, Tessa sensed the malicious look directed at her, but she paid no heed to it.
At last, they arrived at the chemotherapy ward and Amber was escorted into the room by

After she finished the session, she came out in a bad condition as she felt extremely
nauseous and uncomfortable, rendering her face as pale as a sheet.
Noticing Amber’s discomfort, the caregiver walked over and proffered a glass of water.
“Old Mrs. Reinhart, a sip of water might help.”
“Get lost!” Amber reached out and pushed the glass of water in front of her to the ground.
Crash! The glass broke into pieces as water spilled all over the ground.
At that, the caregiver jumped up in fright. Instantly, Tessa glanced at the caregiver’s
drenched hands and became concerned. “Are you alright? Did you get scalded by the
water?”
“I’m fine. It was just warm water.” The caregiver shook her head as she retrieved some
tissue from the side to wipe her hands.
Tessa nodded and turned around to look at Amber with a displeased expression. “Why are
you kicking up a fuss again?”
“Oh, am I? You’re the one who’s trying to kill me, b*tch! You must want me dead. That’s
why you’ve decided on such a painful treatment for me!” Amber pointed at Tessa and
hollered angrily.
The exasperated Tessa burst into a dry laugh. Ungrateful swine. Naturally, she was not
going to condone Amber’s horrendous behavior, so she retorted with a cold sneer.
