Chapter 663 Hathaway Philharmonic
It didn’t take long for Tessa to get into the zone—she shut her eyes as she began to play the violin. Perhaps it was because she went on stage with the mindset of not wanting to let anyone down, but she seemed to enter a peculiar state of mind throughout the stage. She couldn’t entirely explain what happened then. Either way, her performance that day was better than ever.
The audience felt like they were intoxicated after listening to her violin-playing—they practically entered a trance-like state during the performance. Timothy and Gregory were just as mesmerized while they were seated in the VIP section on the second floor as Tessa had prepared seats for them.
Timothy had prepared a camera to record everything that was going on. He figured that he would be able to show Nicholas the recordings once they returned to the country. “Miss Tessa is so good!” Gregory stood by the railing as he fixed his gaze on Tessa. Compliments streamed out of his mouth like a waterfall.
“Of course! That’s my sister! She’s the most impressive woman ever!” Timothy grinned as he watched the woman on stage. He felt genuinely proud of his sister. However, he also felt a hint of regret that he believed was similar to Tessa’s. Tessa probably wishes that Nicholas was around to watch her since this is such a grand event.
…
Nicholas wasn’t in good condition after he boarded the plane. His injuries weren’t fully healed, and he had torn them open while rushing out of the hospital earlier. In addition, he had exposed the wounds to the cold wind outside after that, so he started burning up with a fever after being on the plane for just two hours.
His face was drained of color as he rested his head against the seat. Beads of sweat covered his forehead as he pressed his brows together. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.
When his workers noticed this, they hurriedly called for the air stewardess on board. “President Sawyer has a fever. Hurry up and get us some medication,” they told her.
“Got it.” The air stewardess hastily went to get the proper medication and warm water for Nicholas.
Once she brought it over, his men gave her more orders. “Give him the medication and stay here to take care of him,” they said.
She nodded obediently before stepping forward to pass Nicholas the medicine. “Take this, President Sawyer,” she said.
Nicholas opened his eyes slightly and placed the pills in his mouth before throwing his head backward to swallow them. The air stewardess handed him a glass of water, and he returned it to her after finishing its contents.
The air stewardess didn’t leave immediately after taking his glass. “These pills help you to relax, so you can take a nap if you wish to do so,” she said politely. He nodded quietly, indicating for her to leave. After that, she walked over and stood by one side, waiting for further orders.
Nicholas shut his eyes to get some rest, but he could only think of Tessa. I bet the performance has already started. It’s a shame that I can’t be there… He could already imagine how disappointed and sad Tessa must have been when she realized that he wasn’t there to watch her. Amidst the series of complicated emotions, he somehow fell asleep and woke up about three hours later. “Have we not arrived?” he asked icily after summoning the air stewardess to come over.
“We’re reaching soon. We’re an hour away from landing,” she replied. “Do you feel better now, President Sawyer?” she asked.
“I’m fine.” Nicholas waved a hand to shoo her off, and she nodded before returning to her post.
…
Meanwhile, in one of the famous theaters in Yvetlava, many guests felt like they were experiencing eargasms for the first time. The show’s highlight happened during one of Tessa’s solo parts—everyone looked as if they had just heard bells ringing from heaven. The crowd found themselves utterly hypnotized throughout the three-hour show, and thundering applause filled the theater once the show ended.
The emcee walked out from backstage to end the night. “I’d like to thank all these talented musicians for coming together to produce such beautiful music.” The emcee used a formal tone to calm the crowd before making another announcement. “Now, let’s have the founder of Hathaway Philharmonic, Miss Hathaway, lead her team up onto the stage again!”
The crowd erupted in applause once more.
