Chapter 850 Anthony Must Be nning Something
Miguel was still devastated as he slumped on the table, bearing a striking resemnce to a child who
had been bullied, evoking a sense of pity and feeling aggrieved.
Anthony looked at him and sighed exasperatedly. He then walked over to Miguel.
He was not good atforting people, so after thinking for a moment, Anthony finally reached out and
gently patted Miguel''s head. “It''s okay. It''s natural for people''s minds to be filled with perplexities at
times like this. It''s not your fault.
Miguel was at a loss for words upon hearing that. Is this kind of constion still consideredforting?
He looked up at Anthony and muttered, “Master, your words are somewhat soul-crushing.”
“Although the truth may be somewhat hurtful, recognizing it sooner rather thanter is a form of self-
awareness!” Anthonymented.
“Master...”
“However, there''s a saying, right? Diligence can make up for ipetence,” Anthony added.
Miguel looked at him again. “How do I make up for it?”
“With me here, what do you have to worry about?” Anthony asked.
“So, there is a way?”
“It''s still possible to surpass Benjamin!”
“What about the third one then?” Miguel asked.
Anthony furrowed his brows as he looked at him. “Miguel, as I said before, don''t set your goals too far
ahead, or you might give up easily.”
“Just tell me directly if it''s impossible,” Miguel responded as he hung his head low. How could he not
grasp the underlying meaning of Anthony''s words?
“No way!”
Miguel reluctantly answered, “Master, you''re being too blunt, aren''t you?”
“Fine. It''s not like there''s no chance. I''ve never dealt with the third one before. Let me study and
analyze it first before we decide,” said Anthony.
Miguel''s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing those words, and he could not contain his excitement.
“Are you saying you''re willing to help me?”
“I''ll give it a try.”
“You''re the best, Master!” Miguel eximed, his face beaming with delight as he looked at Anthony.
“Empty ttery won''t get you anywhere. Now, I''m giving you five minutes to freshen up, followed by
another five minutes to grab a bite. In ten minutes, we''ll be heading out.”
“Right away!” After saying that, Miguel dashed toward his room without dy.
As he looked at Miguel''s figure, Anthony sighed and averted his gaze. He then made his way toward
the dining table.
The three of them watched him as they ate. Then, Denisemented, “Tony, you''re taking this
seriously, huh?”
“What do you mean?” Anthony sat down and took a bite of his bread.
“I''m talking about Miguel. I used to think you were forced to take him as your apprentice without putting
much effort into it. But now it seems you''re genuinely invested,” Denise remarked teasingly.
Anthony dered with conviction, “Whether it was a forced or willing eptance, once someone
bes my apprentice, I will teach them wholeheartedly.”
“But if you seed in teaching him, he''ll surpass Ben,” Denisemented, raising her eyebrows after
hearing what he said.
Benjamin spoke up on that matter, “First of all, let me rify that I''m not concerned about it. I''m

indifferent.”
Witnessing Benjamin''s reaction, Anthony raised his eyebrows and remarked with a hint of amusement,
“See? Someone doesn''t care.”
“Ben, you''re quite quick to hit me where it hurts!” Deniseined while shaking her head helplessly.
Benjamin responded, “Well, you''ve known that from the start. Your remarks are nothing but an attempt
to jest at Tony. Keep your battles between yourselves. Please don''t drag me into it. Only with sincerity
we cane to an agreement.”
Denise was rendered speechless.
Realizing that the argument had not escted, Denise sulkily gave up.
In no time, Miguel finished tidying up and emerged from the room. He quickly freshened up, changed
his clothes, and in an instant, he underwent a transformation. He was now exuding the energy of a
spirited young man.
Miguel appeared promptly and sat down to have his breakfast.
While eating, he inquired, “Master, where are we going next?”
“The hospital,” Anthony replied.
“What are we going to do at the hospital?”
However, Anthony did not say a word, only smiling mysteriously. “Nothing. You''ll find out when we get
there.”
For some reason, his smile always gave off an unsettling vibe, causing the others to exchange nces
without uttering a word.
Soon, they set off for the hospital.
As the car came to a stop, Thalia looked at Anthony and asked, “Are you going to visit Lina?”
“I''m not going,” Anthony answered as he remained seated in the car.
“What are you doing here if you''re not going?”
At that moment, Anthony''s gaze shifted toward Denise and Benjamin.
The two furrowed their brows, and Benjamin asked directly, “What do you mean?”
“Weren''t you two nning to show your support yesterday? Well, now''s the time for you to show your
support!” Anthony eximed.
Benjamin knew too well that there was a hidden agenda behind Anthony''s smile earlier.
However, since he had said it himself, Benjamin had no choice but to face the consequences.
“What do they want us to do?” Benjamin asked.
Anthony sighed. “It''s nothing, really. In fact, it''s quite simple. Lina''s illness originates mainly from her
emotional well-being, which all started from losing her child. Denise, you''re a young girl, so people are
less guarded against you. Hence, you should apany Lina and have a chat. It might help with her
condition.”
“Me? But what should I talk about?”
“Anything will do,” Anthony said.
Denise, being a social butterfly, was not afraid of engaging in a conversation. However, when it came to
shouldering the burden of a “task,” she found herself at a loss on how to proceed.
“And what about me?” Benjamin asked.
Anthony replied, “You just need to keep herpany. If you can chat with her, then do so. If not, just sit
by her side.”
Benjamin nced at him and sighed helplessly. “Fine, I understand.”
“Tony, why aren''t you going?” Denise asked.
Anthony exined, “I showed up yesterday, so she''s already on guard against me. If I go, it''ll only
heighten her anxiety.”
“I suspect you''re doing this on purpose,” Denise could not help but mutter upon hearing what he said.
“Whether I am or not doesn''t matter. What''s important is that only the two of you can handle this now.”
“Got it.”
“Don''t treat it as a task. There''s no need to gather information from her. Just have a genuine chat with
her, make her happy, and help her rx,” Anthony remarked.
Though reluctant to be “controlled” in this way, Denise felt that there was some significance to this
matter. “All right then. I''ll go.”
Anthony nodded in response.
With that, Benjamin and Denise got out of the car.
“We''ll wait for you here in the car. Juste back once you''re done.”
“Got it,” they replied, and with that, the two of them stepped out of the car and walked away.
At that moment, three people remained in the vehicle. Thalia looked at Anthony and asked, “What''s the
purpose of doing this?”
“Why does there have to be a purpose?”
“If there''s no purpose, why would you have Denise do it?” Thalia inquired.
At that moment, Anthony gazed out the window. He could see the inpatient area not far away from
where their car was parked. His eyes narrowed slightly. “Since we''re already here, let''s do what we can
before we leave. Even if we may not achieve our goal, at least it''ll put our minds at ease!”
Thalia squinted her eyes, caught in a dilemma. Although she knew Anthony was just a child and she
should not indulge in conspiracy theories, based on her understanding of him, he never did anything
without a purpose. Thus, she could not help but suspect thetter had a hidden agenda, leaving her
uneasy.
She gazed outside momentarily, then turned to Anthony and asked again, “Are you nning to leave?
Without giving it another try?”
“Of course, I''m going to try!”
“No, seriously, what do you mean?” Thalia was confused by his words.
Anthony smiled faintly at her and said mysteriously, “You''ll find out soon enough.”
