Chapter 103 Well Done

Liam strode over, his gaze falling upon Kenneth. “What happened?”

“Grandpa,” Kenneth greeted politely before launching into his explanation. “Thea is undergoing

emergency treatment as we speak.”

Liam narrowed his eyes.

Caroline learned of their relationship from the way Kenneth greeted the old man.

Standing before her was the patriarch of the Hamilton family, who had once shaken the business world.

She often heard his name abroad in praise of his sharp mind and business acumen for which he was

famous.

Caroline suddenly felt at a loss for words as she gazed at the titan before her.

At that moment, the emergency room door opened to admit the doctor.

“Which one of you is Thea Jarman’s family?” he asked.

“I am,” Caroline said at once.

“Oh, there is nothing wrong with the patient,” assured the doctor. “Low blood sugar level and not eating

had caused her to faint, that’s all. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry too much. She will be transferred

to a ward in a moment to be put on a drip.”

A giddy wave of relief swept over Caroline upon hearing that.

“Thank God it’s nothing serious.” Upon recalling something, she turned to the doctor. “Thank you so

much, doctor.”

“It’s part of my job.” He smiled and walked back in again without another word.

Kenneth’s tense brows relaxed a little upon hearing that it was nothing serious.

Liam rolled his eyes at Kenneth as he studied the latter, failing to stifle a complaint. “What are the odds

of the two women coming to the same hospital?”

Kenneth did not know how to respond to that.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to see Nat.”

Liam spun around and led Denise and Benjamin away without giving his grandson a chance to speak.

He did not even deign to greet Caroline.

By the time Caroline turned around, Liam was already walking away with the two children. She frowned

as she watched them.

Hmm, those two kids.

Thea was wheeled out before she could spare any further thought to the matter. Seeing her, Caroline

bent down by her side at once.

“How are you, Thea? Are you all right?”

…

Denise and Benjamin rushed to the bed as soon as Liam brought the children to Natasha’s ward.

“Hello, Nat,” the children chorused.

A smile spread across Natasha’s pale face at the sight of them. “You’re back!”

“We miss you so much.” Denise could not resist acting coquettishly.

“Have you been good?” Natasha asked.

“Of course, we have,” Denise replied.

Liam interjected that moment with a smile. “Denise and Benjamin have been well behaved and

sensible. They were a delight to have around.”

Natasha gazed up at Liam as she returned his smile. “Thank you for taking care of them, Old Mr.

Hamilton. I hope they haven’t caused any trouble.”

“There’s no need to thank me,” Liam said. “It was no trouble at all. I’m happy to do it. In fact, I would

like you to trouble me again if there’s such trouble in the future. I like children.” He would have loved to

care for them for the rest of his life, but he could not make it too obvious.

Terence observed him from the corner, feeling both sad and helpless for his friend.

Denise chose that moment to blurt, “I saw a fierce old lady scolding Mr. Handsome outside just now,

Nat.”

The atmosphere within the ward stiffened with awkwardness for a few seconds.

“What fierce old lady?” Terence asked.

“Well…” Denise was struggling to find the right words.

“Oh, it’s like this,” Liam hurriedly explained. “Kenneth’s assistant fainted from hypoglycemia and was

sent to the hospital. Her mother was there and happened to speak a little loudly.”

It was evident that he was explaining on behalf of his grandson.

Natasha smiled. “I saw them earlier.”

“You saw them?” Liam repeated, stunned.

Originally, he intended to explain the situation, he could not help but shudder on Kenneth’s behalf at

Natasha’s revelation.

What luck the boy has. Out of all the hospitals in the city, he just had to send his assistant to this one

where everybody could see him. He has dug himself a hole so deep that I can’t even help him out of it.

In short, he deserves it.

Terence also seemed to understand something at that moment. “I have to praise Kenneth for his

energy,” he remarked teasingly.

“He doesn’t care about the thing he should, yet takes on everything where he shouldn’t.”

Will Liam understand such an obvious connotation? If he wants to see his precious great-grandchildren

in the future, he must stand with them! As for Kenneth, he is free to even hang himself however he

pleases. It’s not that we won’t help him but we just can’t. Everything depends on what he makes of it!

Natasha did not hear a word of theirs. Instead, she had been lost in her thoughts.

“Grandpa,” Natasha asked suddenly, “could you ask the doctor when I can be discharged?”

Terence frowned. “Discharged? How can you be discharged from the hospital with such a grievous

injury?”

Natasha shrugged. “They’re all surface wounds. I will tend to them from home.”

“Surface wounds?” Terence exclaimed. “You have a fracture and a concussion! You must stay for

another two weeks, at the very least.”

“I know my body well enough,” Natasha protested. “There really is no need for that.”

“No, you will stay until you have completely recovered. It’s up to the doctor when you’re free to be

discharged.” Terence looked firm.

“Grandpa…”

Instinctively, Liam surmised that Natasha’s wish to be discharged was linked to Kenneth.

Oh no, this is going to be a big problem!

He could not refrain from saying, “That’s right, Nat. Just listen to your grandfather. Your injuries are

serious. You mustn’t take your recovery lightly.”

“I know you are all worried about me, but I know my body,” Natasha said firmly.

Her decision could not be swayed no matter how much the two old men persuaded her.

At that critical moment, Liam gave Denise and Benjamin a wink which the two children understood at

once.

“Are you angry, Nat?” Denise asked as she gazed at Natasha.

“Angry? What would I angry about?” She shot back.

“Angry with Mr. Handsome…” Denise’s voice trailed off into a whisper.

However, the connotation was understood by everybody present. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

It was a question on everybody’s minds that nobody dared to ask.

Natasha frowned at the strangeness of the child’s question.

Benjamin chimed in immediately. “Great-grandpa is really worried about you, Nat. You’ll only make

them feel worse if you leave the hospital now.”

Natasha turned to Terence with a frown.

“How about this,” Benjamin proposed, “Great-grandpa will ask the doctor later, and we’ll see what the

doctor has to say. Deal?”

Before Natasha could speak, the boy pressed on, “You have to set an example of valuing your health

and taking care of yourself, Nat.”

With that said, Natasha could not refute him.

“Fine,” she said at last, with a resigned grin at Benjamin. “You win.”

A smile appeared on his face. “You’re the best, Nat!”

Terence was relieved to see Natasha relent. Liam, who was next to the former, heaved a quiet sigh of

relief as well.

Then, he picked up his phone to surreptitiously send a text: Everything else depends on you now, brat!
