Not Twins Chapter 102

Chapter 102 I Was Too Rash

Natasha simply wanted to prevent Anthony from checking out Gary. She feared that the boy might

notice her concerns and that Gary might target Anthony instead. Never did she expect her actions to

have caused him to worry.

In fact, she could even imagine how worried and anxious Anthony must have been earlier.

Her heart was instantly filled with guilt.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she cast a gaze on her son, reaching out to stroke his head.

“I’m sorry, Anthony. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m sorry for making you worry,” Natasha said.

Anthony remained silent and clung to Natasha tightly.

It was a touching scene as the bits of sunlight shone on the pair.

Half an hour later, Anthony had already calmed himself and was seated on the bench as if nothing

happened earlier.

He was not emotional, nor did he cry.

Everything that happened earlier was just an accident. No one saw it, and no one knows about it. I’m

still the cool person that I am. Yes… that’s right!

After recollecting himself, Anthony had returned to his usual self.

He cleared his throat. “Nat, just now… I was just too anxious. I wasn’t crying,” he explained.

Natasha listened and nodded solemnly. “I know.”

Knowing her son was a prideful person, Natasha did not expose him. Instead, she secretly enjoyed the

moment.

Anthony blinked, asking, “Aren’t you going to tell me where you’ve been just now?”

“I was just roaming around,” Natasha said nonchalantly.

Anthony eyed her. He knew she was not telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do.

“Don’t do that again,” he warned.

Natasha nodded. “Okay.”

As Anthony gazed at Natasha, he constantly felt as if she could see right through him. Suddenly, he

recalled something and opened the bottle of water before handing it to her. “Didn’t you say you wanted

to drink some water earlier? Here you go.”

“Thank you.” Natasha smiled, casting him a loving look.

Anthony turned away awkwardly.

I was too rash earlier!

Meanwhile, Kenneth drove to Thea’s house.

No one came to open the door after he rang the doorbell for some time. Hence, he pulled out his phone

and dialed her number, only to hear her phone ringing on the inside.

Immediately, Kenneth knew she was in the house. The incident from that night flashed past his mind.

Worried that she might act impulsively, he rushed forward, keyed in the passcode, and entered the

house.

The dining table and the floor were in a mess.

Everything on the floor was things from the day he left.

When he arrived in the living room, he saw Thea lying on the couch. Her eyes were shut tight, and her

face was pale.

Shocked, Kenneth hurried over. “Thea! Thea Jarman!”

He received no response after calling out twice. He extended his hand to check if she was still

breathing. When he felt the faint breath under her nose, he relaxed.

“Thea. Thea,” Kenneth called out again, but she gave no response.

At the same time, Caroline arrived as well.

Seeing the mess as soon as she stepped in, she rushed over. “What’s going on? How did such a thing

happen?”

“It was like that when I came in. I’m not sure what happened, but we should call for an ambulance first,”

Kenneth said calmly.

Caroline knew it was pointless questioning now. Hence, she called for an ambulance right away.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Natasha was done sunbathing and was about to enter the building when

several doctors headed in one direction hurriedly along the corridor.

Usually, that meant there was an emergency.

Natasha did not think too much about it. She walked closer to the wall, trying to make way for the

others.

Right then, Anthony’s phone rang.

“Nat, it’s Denise. I’ve got to answer this,” Anthony said.

Natasha nodded. “Go ahead.”

With that, Anthony left to answer the call.

She stuck close to the wall and got ready to walk back to her room. When she lifted her gaze, she saw

a familiar figure being pushed past her swiftly.

Thea?

The doctors and nurses moved quickly, instructing the people in front to make way.

Before Natasha could even react, a sobbing voice rang out. Caroline was following closely behind

them.

At the same time, another silhouette entered Natasha’s field of vision.

Kenneth…

Kenneth and Natasha spotted each other at the same time.

He froze in his tracks, and they met each other’s gazes. Natasha seemed to have caught the meaning

of his gaze.

Kenneth pursed his lips. He tried to explain, “Thea—”

“You don’t have to explain it to me,” Natasha cut him off.

Kenneth fell silent and stared at her.

However, she merely gave him a polite nod wordlessly, got up, and returned to the room without turning

back.

As Kenneth watched her enter her ward, he frowned deeply.

Soon, Thea was pushed into the emergency room for surgery. Caroline turned to look at him. “Kenneth,

do you think Thea will be fine?”

Kenneth turned around and walked over to Caroline. “She’ll be fine. Nothing will happen.”

“She was fine two days ago. How on earth did she end up like that?” Caroline lifted her head to look at

Kenneth. “She’s my only daughter. Her dad and I won’t be able to handle it if something happens to

her.”

Kenneth merely gazed at Caroline, not knowing how to comfort her.

He could not help but frown as he recalled Thea’s words.

It was true that he was not responsible for the matter, as he never expected such a thing to happen. At

the same time, he felt guilty for not making things clear with Thea earlier.

“Let’s wait to hear from the doctor.” Kenneth looked extremely calm, which looked like impassiveness

to Caroline.

She hesitated for some time before asking, “Kenneth, did Thea say something to you?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing how Kenneth was not replying to her, she continued, “She said she had something to tell you

that day. And now, this happened…” As she spoke, she started crying uncontrollably.

“I’m partly responsible for Thea’s situation,” Kenneth admitted.

Caroline had a rough guess of what happened, and she felt extremely upset. “I just want to know one

thing. Are you interested in Thea? You know what she thinks of you, right? She gave up on her

business in another country just to come back to keep you company. So, what do you think of her?”

Kenneth looked at Caroline and said straightforwardly, “I only see her as a friend and a business

partner.”

“F-Friend? Business partner?” Caroline was flabbergasted.

Kenneth did not deny it. “Yes.”

Caroline was so furious that she was at a loss for words. Kenneth must’ve rejected Thea the same

way. That must be why that silly girl acted so rashly.

The thought of something might happen to Thea was unacceptable to Caroline.

“Thea doesn’t lack friends. You’re just wasting her time, Kenneth!” Caroline yelled, fuming.

Kenneth did not defend himself, nor did he say anything in response to Caroline’s words.

Right then, Liam appeared with Denise and Benjamin beside him. He witnessed the scene as soon as

they entered.

Immediately, his protective instincts kicked into gear. “Kenneth.”

His loud, clear voice rang out, causing Caroline and Kenneth to turn around.

Although Liam was old, he was still an experienced businessman. Hence, he always had a powerful

presence wherever he went.

Caroline frowned as she looked at him and the two children by his side. “Who’s he?”
