Chapter 1057 Natasha Knelt
Chapter 1057 Natasha Knelt
At that moment, upon seeing them, a lump inexplicably formed in her throat, and her eyes began to redden.
The two old men, who should be enjoying their twilight years, were instead still living in constant worry and fear because of them.
At that thought, Natasha felt remorseful.
After the car stopped, the person in the other car was the first to get out.
The moment Denise saw them, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Gramps! Great-grandpa!”
Her soft and gentle voice could melt a person's heart.
Upon seeing her, the two old men immediately looked at her with eyes full of adoration. “Denise, my darling!” exclaimed Liam.
“You're finally home. You're finally back!” Terence missed her terribly as well.
In the next moment, Denise rushed toward them, embracing them tightly. “I've missed you guys so much!”
“We miss you too!”
Denise held them close, not uttering another word, for no amount of speech could express her longing.
At that moment, Anthony and Benjamin also got out of the car.
Upon seeing the two of them, Liam called out, “Anthony, Benjamin!”
The two boys were relatively calm. “Gramps! Great-grandpa!”
“Come here, come here quickly. Let me take a look at you!” said Liam.
And so, one headed toward Liam, while the other went toward Terence.
“It's been a while. You've grown taller, but why have you lost so much weight?” Liam asked Anthony.
“Yeah, it's true. Outside is not like home. We really need to nourish them well!” Terence said to Benjamin.
“Right. That's a must!”
The two boys were watching them, not saying a word.
After a round of pleasantries, Terence asked, “By the way, where's your mommy?”
Speaking of which, they all simultaneously turned their gaze toward another car.
At that moment, the car door opened, and Natasha stepped out from inside.
Upon seeing her, Terence's movement to approach suddenly froze.
Looking at Natasha, who had become as thin as a skeleton, there was a moment when he felt as if he had mistaken her for someone else. T-This is not Nat!
He stared at her, yet he didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Liam, standing not far away, was equally stunned when he saw Natasha. How could this happen?
Looking at Terence, who had stopped in his tracks, Natasha, with teary eyes, spoke up. “Grandpa.”
This utterance of “Grandpa” brought Terence's thoughts back to reality.
“Nat?”
“It's me!” Natasha said lightly.
Terence slowly approached her, looking at her. “How did... how did...” His voice choked as he looked at the person before him. “How did you end up like this?”
Tears fell directly from Natasha's eyes. “I’ll get better soon!”
The next second, Terence had already pulled her into his arms.
“Nat!”
Terence was not a man adept at expressing his feelings. Even now, as he watched his beloved granddaughter in that state, all he could manage to utter was her name.
“I'm sorry, Grandpa, for making you worry again!” Natasha said.
“It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back!” said Terence.
At that moment, people not far behind were watching, their eyes also welling up with tears.
After a while, Liam walked up and said, “Nat, you're back. Where's that brat?”
Speaking of that, Natasha paused for a moment.
At that moment, Terence seemed to remember something. He looked at her and asked, “That's right, where's that brat, Kenneth?”
Natasha looked at Liam, her serene face held an indescribable sadness. She didn't know what to say, nor did she know how to explain...
Looking at him, Natasha didn't hesitate and directly knelt before Liam.
“Nat!”
“Nat!”
Terence and the three kids spoke at the same time.
Upon witnessing that scene, both Spencer and Thalia, who were standing nearby, were genuinely shocked.
Seeing that, Liam hurriedly reached out to support her. “Nat, what are you doing?”
Terence also looked puzzled, quickly helping her up. “Nat, there's no need for this. If you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing?”
Natasha pursed her lips, remaining silent because she truly didn't know what to say.
Yet her actions, coupled with her silence, caused Liam, who was just jovially laughing a moment ago, to freeze instantly in the next second.
A bad premonition began to take root in the depths of his heart.
Looking at Natasha, he asked blankly, “Did something happen to Kenneth?” Liam asked, his voice low. Perhaps due to his age, his voice was filled with vicissitudes. Hearing him asking that question was enough to make one's heart ache and eyes tear up.
“Old Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry...” After a long time, Natasha finally uttered those words.
Meanwhile, in the vehicle, the doctor and the nurse brought Kenneth out of the car.
The moment he saw Kenneth, Liam was stunned.
After staring blankly ahead for several seconds, he finally stumbled forward.
“Kenneth...”
Liam looked at his grandson with a vacant expression.
Tears streamed down Natasha's face at that sight.
At that moment, Spencer stepped forward immediately upon seeing the situation. Looking at the state of Liam, he quickly began to explain, “An accident occurred while we were abroad. Kenneth suffered a head injury, which is why he's currently unconscious...”
Upon hearing that, Liam turned his head toward him. “Unconscious?”
“Correct!” Spencer nodded.
“So, when will he wake up?” asked Liam.
“This...” Spencer didn't know what to say because he wasn't sure if Liam could handle the truth. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
As if reading Spencer's mind, Liam spoke up. “Young man, I can handle it. Whatever you have to say, just say it directly!”
Upon seeing the situation, Spencer moistened his lips and said, “He might wake up at any moment, or perhaps... it could take a long time!”
“How long is a long time?”
“In medical terms, it's indefinite.”
“That means there's the possibility that he'll never wake up?” Liam asked.
Spencer didn't deny it, and that was an answer in itself.
In an instant, Liam understood what was happening.
He nodded slightly, his gaze gradually shifting to Kenneth. Looking at the latter, he let out a sneer.
And then, in the next second, Liam suddenly clutched his heart.
Upon seeing the situation, Spencer immediately rushed to support him. “Old Mr. Hamilton, what's wrong?”
Liam clutched his chest with one hand, his face seemingly in great pain.
“Old Mr. Hamilton?” Spencer called out again.
At that moment, the person watching from behind immediately stepped forward.
“Old Mr. Hamilton!” Natasha looked at Liam.
“What's wrong, Great-grandpa?”
Everyone flocked around Liam.
All of them wore expressions of worry and care.
At that moment, Liam was in unbearable pain. He managed to hold on for a while but soon collapsed and passed out.
“Liam!” Terence also shouted.
