Chapter 286


    While Denise was eating the oatmeal unwillingly, Anthony and Benjamin returned.


    As soon as they walked in, they hurried to Denise.


    “Denise, you''re awake!”


    “Denise, how are you feeling? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?”


    Anthony and Benjamin asked in unison.


    However, Denise merely looked at them glumly and continued eating her food.


    Anthony and Benjamin were confused by her behavior. Frowning, they turned to Natasha and


    asked, “What''s up with Denise, Nat?”


    Natasha looked at the little girl on the bed, who was eating her food, and Keh, who was spoiling


    Denise by feeding her. She said, “It''s nothing. She''s just being picky.”


    “Did the doctor give her diet restrictions?” asked Anthony.


    Natasha nodded.


    Right then, an idea came to Benjamin. Looking at Denise, he leaned over and whispered into her


    ear, “I''ll get you some good food.”


    Denise''s eyes lit up when she heard that.


    Benjamin quickly shot her a look, telling her to stay calm. Seeing that, Denise hurriedly recollected


    herself.


    “You''re the best, Ben,” Denise replied in a low voice.


    Although Keh could not hear what they were talking about, he could roughly guess the content


    of their conversation. “What''s wrong? Am I not treating you well enough?”


    “Hmph, you don''t love me enough!” Denise retorted, pouting unhappily.


    “If that''s the case, I''ll tell your mommy what you guys were whispering about just now.” Keh


    pretended to threaten them.


    “Daddy!” Denise frowned and looked at him in frustration.


    Keh chuckled. “All right, I was just teasing you. Don''t eat too muchter, okay? Your mommy is


    doing this for your own good.”


    Denise grinned. “Yes, Daddy. I''ll only have a little.”


    Keh''s eyes were filled with


    affection as he looked at her.


    After eating half of the oatmeal, Denise announced she was full. However, her intentions were very


    obvious.


    Natasha exchanged nces with Anthony, but neither of them exposed the little girl.


    Anthony and Benjamin were relieved to see that Denise was alive and well.


    However, Denise was still a little weak. After having some food, shey back down and swiftly fell


    asleep.


    When Natasha was busy tucking Denise in, Anthony shot Keh a nce before turning to leave


    the room.


    Knowing Anthony had something to say to him, Keh walked out as well.


    Natasha narrowed her eyes and stopped whatever she was doing.


    At the corridor outside, Anthony fixed his eyes on Keh and hesitated for a moment before


    saying, “Thalia and I went looking for that person just now.


    Keh stared at him. “And?”


    “That person is a part-time actor. Someone ordered him to attack Denise,” Anthony said.


    Upon hearing that, Keh narrowed his eyes. The way Anthony had called him out to have a


    conversation in private and how he had said those things ced a thought in Keh''s mind. It''s


    someone I know!


    That thought was not a question; it was a statement.


    Without saying anything, Anthony fished out his phone and tapped on a section of surveince


    footage before handing it to Keh.


    “I think you should recognize this person by just seeing the back.”


    Keh took the phone from Anthony. When he saw the person in the video, his eyes darkened.


    “I could have actually settled this on my own, but then I figured it''s better to let you deal with this.


    Technically, you''re involved with this person as well,” Anthony said.


    Keh returned the phone to Anthony. He looked at thetter with a vicious smile on his lips.


    “You''ve made the right decision. Indeed, I should be the one handling this


    . . )) matter.


    Seeing the eerie smile on his face, Anthony knew Keh would make the right decision.


    Right then, Keh walked up and patted Anthony on the head. “Tell your mommy I''m going home


    to get changed. I''ll be back soon.”


    Anthony nodded in response.


    Keh smiled and turned around to leave.


    As Anthony watched Keh leave, he narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while. The moment


    he turned around to return to the ward, he saw Natasha standing at the door.


    Anthony was taken aback by her presence. “Nat!”


    Natasha walked up to him, smiling while looking at him. “Take care of Denise with Benjamin. I''ll be


    back soon.


    It was already midnight.


    Keh gripped the steering wheel with one hand while fixing his eyes on the road ahead of him.


    His pitch-ck eyes looked terrifying.


    He took out his phone and dialed a number he had not dialed in a long time.


    It rang a couple of times before the call was answered.


    “Keh?” The person on the other end of the call sounded excited.


    “Where are you?”


    “Huh? It''s sote. Is something the matter?”


    “Where are you?” Keh repeated, sounding more serious.


    “I-I''m at home.”


    Hearing that, Keh hung up and said nothing else. He then mmed on the gas pedal and sped


    off.


    When he was about to reach his destination, his phone rang. Seeing that the caller was Anthony,


    Keh frowned and picked up. “What''s up, Anthony?”


    “Nat knows. She''s on her way there, too. And I have a bad feeling about this,” said Anthony.


    Keh frowned upon hearing that information. “When did this happen?”

    “Just a while ago, right after you left.”


    Keh froze. “All right. I got it.”


    “Are you there already?” Anthony questioned.


    “Yes, I''m reaching her house soon,” Keh answered, ncing at the


    building in front of him.


    “Her house?”


    “Yeah.”


    “But... she''s not at home!”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Nat tracked her location before leaving. She seems to be at a bar called Tranquility.”


    Keh hit the brakes right away. “Tranquility?”


    “Yes. I think that''s the one!”


    Keh''s eyes darted around. “Got it!” With that, he retracted his gaze and turned the vehicle


    around.


    Meanwhile, Thea, who was in the bar presidential suite, felt uneasy after picking up Keh''s call.


    Logically, she should be happy about receiving the call, but she could not help feeling somewhat


    worried.


    Surely Keh didn''t discover something, did he?


    At the same time, sitting in the corner was Zachary, who had about five women in his embrace.


    When he sensed Thea fidgeting uneasily in her seat, his lips curled into a smirk. “What''s wrong?


    Shouldn''t you be happy? You got a call from Keh, after all.”


    Thea knew he was teasing her. Hence, she side-eyed him and snapped, “What does that have to


    do with you?”


    Zachary snickered. “You''re right. It has nothing to do with me, but your expression tells me there''s


    something wrong with you.”


    Thea did not respond.


    If it wasn''t for that matter, perhaps I would really be happy about it. But now...No. No one will know it


    was me. I''m just overthinking it.


    With that thought in mind, Thea took a deep breath and picked up her bag from the couch. “That''s


    all for today.


    II ))


    m gonna go now.


    Then she stood up, getting ready to leave.


    Zachary merely nced at her back, not bothered by her actions.


    When Thea arrived at the door, someone kicked it violently, causing it to fly open with a bang.


    Hearing the noise, Zachary looked over, and a look of surprise shed through his eyes when he


    saw the person at the door.
