Chapter 563 The One She Cares About Most

After sending off the finalized proposal for Sinclair Corporation’s new initiative, Tessa stretched her arms, her fingertips gliding across the performance projection chart on the screen.

Reginald had asked her to surpass the White family within three months. But with Sinclair Corporation’s current pace of expansion–paired with its exclusive access to the werewolf pharmaceutical pipeline via the Aurora Project–that was hardly a challenge.

After all, from the moment she took over, her goal had been to raise Sinclair Corporation to a level where it could stand toe–to–toe with Thorne Corp.

She flipped casually through a few pages of a reference book when her phone suddenly buzzed. The name “Louis” flashed on the screen.

“Ms. Tessa,” came an anxious voice on the other end, “the old master says his chest feels tight. He refuses to go to the hospital, and I just can’t talk him into it…” noveldrama

Tessa’s heart clenched. She snapped her book shut, grabbed her jacket, and rushed out. “I’ll be there right

away.

When she arrived at the Sinclair family estate, the old man was slouched on the sofa, wheezing, his face flushed in an unhealthy red. As soon as he saw Tessa, he straightened up, trying to appear composed. “Tessa, you’re back? I’m fine. Just an old issue flaring up. A little rest will fix it.”

“Grandpa, you’re coming with me to the hospital.” Tessa didn’t waste words. Half guiding, half supporting him, she helped him toward the door.

On the way, the old man didn’t stop muttering. “Louis is getting more and more out of line… A little thing like this and he goes running to you…”

“Grandpa, Louis is doing it for your own good. If you’re not feeling well, of course you need to get checked out!” How could he keep avoiding doctors?

With Tessa, the old man had no room to argue. When she scolded him, he nodded immediately.

“I know you’re right. But I know my body. It’s really nothing.”

“You don’t get to decide that. The doctor does.” Tessa’s tone was firm.

At the hospital, Samuel personally oversaw the examination.

When it was over, his expression didn’t look good.

“Grandpa,” Samuel said, frowning, “how many times have I told you–if you’re feeling off, come to me. Why keep it to yourself? Even if you didn’t want to worry Tessa, you could’ve told me privately. You know how much she cares about you. If something happens, she’ll be devastated.”

“That’s exactly why I didn’t want to say anything.” The old man grasped Samuel’s hand, his voice ser “So, Samuel–don’t tell her the truth. Just say everything’s fine.”

Samuel stared at him, clearly disapproving.

“But if something actually goes wrong, she’ll take it the hardest.”

Walter let out a slow sigh. “That’s just how it is when you get old. Your organs start to fail. What else can you

do?”

As a doctor, Samuel understood. There were things medicine could fix–but natural aging wasn’t one of them.

All anyone could do was accept

“Either way, if you’re not feeling well and don’t want to tell Tessa, then tell me. I’ll bring your meds to the Sinclair estate later. Just make sure you take them on time.”

Some things couldn’t be changed.

But at the very least, they could slow them down.

“Alright, I got it. But remember–you

ustn’t let Tessa find out.” That was the one thing he insisted on.

“You can count on me.”

When they stepped outside, they found Tessa still waiting. She immediately rushed over when she saw

them.

“How is he?” she asked, full of concern.

“He’s fine. Just the usual problems that come with age.”

Tessa didn’t buy Samuel’s words but nodded anyway. “Alright, I’ll take him back first. I’ll check in with you later.”

She was studying medicine–of course she could tell something was wrong.

“Go on, then.”

Samuel had surgery coming up and didn’t walk them out.

On the way back, the old man was still smiling.

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m fine. Why won’t you believe me?”

“I do believe you.”

She just couldn’t help worrying.

He was the person she cared about most. Of course she worried about everything concerning him.

“Tessa,” the old man said quietly, gazing out the window. “Let me tell you something real. When people get old… there’s always that day. When it comes, don’t be too sad.”

“Grandpa, I don’t want to hear that.” Tessa turned away, her fingers curling slightly. She knew the truth–but hearing it from him still made her heart clench.

The old man sighed.

Tessa eventually turned back, her tone gentler. “I understand. But until then, you need to listen to the doctors. Take your medicine. Go to every follow–up. No exceptions.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll do what you say.” The old man chuckled, eyes shining. “I’m still waiting to hand you off

to Landon with my own two hands. Can’t go kicking the bucket just yet.”

After dropping him off at the Sinclair estate, Tessa turned around and headed back to the hospital.

There were some things she had to see for herself.
