Chapter 300


    Early the following morning, Benjamin''s physical condition was still progressing well, and his fever had


    subsided after a night''s sleep.


    Natasha had stayed up the night before looking after Denise, then the previous night watching over


    Benjamin. Hence, her eyes were bloodshot from barely getting any sleep. It was only after the doctor


    dered that Benjamin''s fever had gone down and he was doing fine that she felt as though a heavy


    weight had been lifted from her shoulders. As she continued tending to Benjamin, she decided to take

    a short nap. However, she ended up falling into a deep slumber.


    Keh had also stayed up, and his heart ached when he saw her go without rest. Nheless, he


    knew that even if he tried to persuade her to rest, she would not listen to him. Hence, he waited until


    she had dozed off before going over and picking her up in his arms.


    Anthony, who was asleep on the couch, woke up just as Keh was about to leave.


    Their eyes met. Looking at him, Keh instructed in a low voice, “Take care of Benjamin. I''m taking


    Mommy to the room next door to get some rest.”


    Anthony nodded. “Okay.”


    Only then did Keh carry Natasha out of the ward.


    He had just left when Denise opened her eyes. After looking around sleepily, she asked, “Where''s


    Daddy and Mommy?”


    “Daddy took Mommy next door to rest,” Anthony said.


    Denise nodded at that. Then she appeared to think of something. ncing toward Benjamin on the


    hospital bed, she walked over there immediately.


    She touched Benjamin''s forehead with her hand, then eximed excitedly, “Ben''s forehead isn''t hot


    anymore!”


    Anthony also went over. As he gazed at Benjamin, who was still sound asleep, there were many mixed


    emotions within him he could not express.


    Benjamin had always behaved as if everything was fine, so it was true that Anthony usually did not


    bother much about him. But after what happened, Anthony could not help ming himself a little. I


    should''ve paid more attention to him. Even if his injury wasn''t serious, I should''ve gotten a doctor to


    check on him. Instead, I ignored him...


    “Denise.”


    “Hmm?”


    “He really dotes on you,” said Anthony.


    Upon hearing that, Denise shifted her gaze to Benjamin and nodded solemnly. “Mm, I know.”


    “That''s why you have to be nicer to him.”


    “You make it sound as though I don''t treat him well,” Denise replied indignantly.


    Anthonyughed. “You can do even better in the future!”


    “Okay,” Denise responded.


    While they were talking, the sky turned lighter as the sun rose in the east.


    Benjamin also happened to wake up then. After regaining consciousness, he was afraid that Natasha


    would be angry. Hence, even though he had woken up, he only cracked open his eyes slightly and


    scanned his surroundings to survey the situation.


    Although Anthony and Denise were chatting, they noticed what Benjamin was doing and exchanged


    nces.


    Anthony feigned a cough and asked, “Are you awake?”


    Benjamin squeezed his eyes shut immediately, pretending he was still fast asleep.


    “That''s enough. You don''t have to pretend. Nat and Daddy aren''t here,” said Anthony.


    Benjamin remained unmoving.


    “You''re still pretending, are you? Very well. Denise, go and tell Nat that Benjamin is awake,” Anthony


    instructed.


    “Okay!” Denise answered, ying along and acting as though she was about to leave the room.


    Hearing that, Benjamin opened his eyes at once. “Denise!”


    She turned back and looked at him with a grin. “Are you done pretending?”


    Benjamin sighed helplessly and asked, “Is this how you treat a patient?”


    While Benjamin was speaking, Anthony had already raised the head of the hospital bed so that the


    former could sitfortably.


    Denise fixed her gaze on him and retorted, “You''re one to talk. Why didn''t you say anything when


    something so serious happened? You gave us all such a fright!”


    “I was afraid of worrying Nat!”


    As soon as those words left his mouth, Anthony pped the back of Benjamin''s head.


    Although it seemed that Anthony had struck his younger brother hard, he had not actually used much


    force.


    Benjamin raised his head and turned to Anthony. “What was that? I''m a patient.”


    Anthony stared at him. “I can''t believe you still have the nerve to say that. Do you think Nat wouldn''t


    worry about seeing you like this? Or us, for that matter? Did you know you gave Nat such a scare that


    her face turned as pale as a sheet? If you dare to do something like this again, you bet I''ll give you a


    piece of my mind.”


    Indeed, Benjamin had not considered that. He muttered, “I thought it''d be fine if I just tough it out. Who


    knew it would get so serious?”


    Anthony gazed at Benjamin, unable to bring himself to me thetter too much. If it were me, I''d


    probably have done the same.


    He poured a ss of water and handed it to Benjamin. “Whatever it is, don''t let this happen again.”


    “Okay!” Benjamin answered. However, as he stared at the ss of water Anthony held out to him, his


    eyes lit up. An idea had popped into his mind.


    Putting on a pitiful expression, he said, “Tony, I can''t move this hand. How am I going to drink...”


    His words implied that he wanted Anthony to help him.


    Seeing that Benjamin had one hand in a cast and his other hand hooked up to an IV drip, Anthony had


    to admit that the former was physically challenged. Rolling his eyes, he held the ss close to his


    brother''s lips to feed him.


    Benjamin drank a few mouthfuls of water smugly. In fact, he even looked like he was enjoying himself.


    I lost out to him on being the oldest, so it does feel nice to have him wait on me after all these years.


    As a boy, he still cared a lot about who was older.


    “What is it? Are you happy?” Anthony asked as he red at Benjamin. He could tell what thetter was


    thinking just by the look on his face.


    “Yep!” Benjamin nodded. “I suddenly feel that I''m a member of the upper crust.”


    At that moment, Anthony tilted the ss abruptly to feed Benjamin another mouthful of water. Not


    expecting that, thetter did not open his mouth in time, and water immediately ran down his neck.


    Benjamin was rendered speechless.


    “Do you still feel like one of the upper ss?” Anthony asked, blinking.


    “You did that deliberately to get back at me!” Benjamin protested.


    “I was only teaching you a lesson. I''m always going to be your older brother,” said Anthony.


    Benjamin took a deep breath. “I''ve been schooled.”


    Looking at him, Anthony could not resist bursting intoughter. Then he reached for a towel and helped


    wipe Benjamin dry.


    Denise also could not hold back herughter as she watched and joined in to help.


    As Benjamin turned to Denise, his gaze softened. Yes, it''s still better to have a sister...


    While the trio chatted happily, the door suddenly opened. Benjamin had thought to close his eyes and


    pretend to be asleep, but when he saw that it was Keh, he sighed in relief.


    Keh had their breakfast with him. When he entered and noticed their expressions, his eyes crinkled


    with a grin. “What''s the matter? You''re not anxious or afraid because it''s me?”


    Benjamin looked at him with a sheepish smile as he said, “Not at all.”


    However, how could Keh not know what they were thinking? Even so, he did not think much about


    it. Keh strode over to Benjamin and touched thetter''s forehead, nodding after making sure he


    was not burning up. “Yes. Your fever is much better already.”


    Benjamin sat there stiffly, his eyes following Keh''s every move. Honestly, I''m really not used to him


    being so affectionate!
