His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 171

Samuel let out a heavy sigh. "Seline's been traumatized due to the kidnapping incident. I took her to visit a psychiatrist, and she's barely made any progress. The doctor says she needs a lot of love and support from her family right now.

"She still asks for you even though her mother's been accompanying her. Can't you come to visit her?"

Tessa felt a twinge of sadness and longing upon hearing Samuel's words.

Seline was her beloved little sister. Tessa had suffered from nightmares for days and could barely eat anything after Seline's kidnapping.

"I…" Tessa's resolve wavered.

Seline was still traumatized, and her paying Seline a visit would definitely help her condition.

Yet, Tessa steeled her heart as soon as her mind reminded her about the madman, James. "I'm sorry, Dad. I really can't make it this Saturday."

"Oh, alright." Samuel hung up in disappointment.

Tessa stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking desolate and gloomy.

Why was James targeting her?

She had no grievances with him.

Could it really be as Stephen had claimed? Was it because she was Stephen's Achilles' heel?

God, just how long was she going to be stuck in this villa?

…

Tessa was awakened by the incessant noise of her phone ringing on Saturday.

The phone was left on the bedside table, vibrating rhythmically against the surface. The ringing continued for a long time. The call would end, but it would start ringing immediately after.

Tessa didn't even bother opening her eyes as she felt for her phone, fumbling her way across the bedside table. When she felt the cool surface against her grip, she groggily picked it up and answered it. "Hello, who is it?"

"Bad news, Tess! Your father's hurt!" It was the voice of the Yates' housekeeper, Molly Evans.

"Ms. Evans?" Tessa jerked awake. "What happened?"

…

Tessa hastily parked her white BMW in the open-air parking lot at the hospital entrance.
