Chapter 357


    Without even bothering to look up, Benjamin replied, “When we were living abroad, it''s normal for


    the three of us to fall and scrape ourselves. I was the one in charge of disinfecting the wounds. After


    a while, I started getting better at it.”


    Upon hearing that, Keh''s heart ached inexplicably.


    “Didn''t your mother hire someone to take care of you three?” he asked the younger boy.


    “She did, but things are different there. They''ll only do what''s within their job scope. Moreover, not


    many people are willing toe to take care of three kids at once. The babysitters require daily


    payments. They wouldete and leave early. We would still have to take care of some things


    on our own,” Benjamin exined.


    Keh''s brows furrowed as he listened.


    Although Natasha had made sure that the kids had everything they wanted, it was still hard for a


    woman to work and take care of three children simultaneously. There were bound to be times when


    she wasn''t able to care for them.


    Keh could not imagine the hardships they had to endure.


    “Does your mother know about this?” Keh asked.

    Benjamin shook his head. “Nat''s always very tired from work, and she still has to look after us. Most


    of the time, we will take care of some things ourselves,” he said as he continued bandaging


    Keh''s wound.


    A conflicted feeling rose in Keh''s heart.


    If he had not done what he did in the past, the three of them would have grown up in the Hamilton


    residence.


    The kids would be able to grow up in a good and carefree environment.


    “It''s done,” Benjamin said.


    Keh came back to his senses and looked down at his wound, which had been bandaged nicely


    with gauze. It was done neatly.


    A bittersweet smile appeared on his face.


    “ording to my experience, it''ll heal fast if you keep it dry,” Benjamin advised.


    Keh looked at him. There were so many things he wanted to tell the younger boy, but they


    seemed to have gotten caught in his throat. In the end, he merely nodded his head. “Okay.”


    Benjamin looked up at him. “Also, all those things are in the past. Don''t tell Nat. I don''t want her to


    be sad,” he said.


    “All right.” Keh nodded.


    “It''s gettingte. If there''s nothing else, I''ll head back to my room to rest.”


    Keh nodded again.


    Benjamin turned around to go back to his room, but he had just taken a few steps when Keh


    called out to him, “Benjamin.”


    The young boy turned back around.


    His tiny face wore a conflicted expression.


    Keh smiled at him. “If anything happens in the future, you can talk to me about it. I''m all ears.”


    Benjamin froze for a second before nodding.


    “Go get some rest. Good night,” Keh said.


    “G-Good night!” Benjamin said before turning around to leave.


    Aplex look appeared in Keh''s eyes as he looked at the boy''s tiny figure walking away. He


    soon smiled.


    Then, as though remembering something, he took his phone and made a call.


    Anthony was currently leaning against the door as he stood outside the room.


    His lips curved into a smile as he listened to the conversation going on inside.


    Although he had never held any expectations, all he wished for was for


    Keh to remain in their lives.


    With that thought in mind, Anthony was just about to leave when Keh walked out of the room.


    Both father and son bumped into each other.


    “What are you doing here?” Keh asked.


    “Um, I was on my way back to my room,” Anthony replied.


    Keh nodded.


    “Um, good night!” Anthony waved at Keh before making a move to scurry off.


    “Hold on,” Keh suddenly called out to him.


    Anthony froze for a moment. He turned around warily. “What''s up?”


    “Did you talk to your mother tonight?”


    “Um, no. Thalia brought us out to y, and so we didn’t contact each other,” Anthony replied.


    Keh remained silent. Anthony noticed his reaction and asked, “What''s wrong?” “I can''t reach


    her.” “What? You can''t reach her?” Anthony asked.


    Is everyone trying to disappear today?


    Noticing the look in Keh''s eyes, Anthony blinked and asked, “Are you guys arguing?”


    “No.”


    Anthony scrutinized his father, seemingly not believing his words.


    Keh blinked and emphasized, “No. Really.”


    With an arched eyebrow, Anthony responded, “Okay. If you say so.” However, after pondering for a


    few seconds, he added, “Don''t worry too much about it. Nat has a habit of forgetting to charge her


    phone when she''s sleeping. It’s normal to not get through to her.”


    Keh was still worried about her. “You should go back to rest.”


    With that, Keh made a move to leave.


    He had just taken two steps forward when his phone rang. Taking it out of his pocket, he took a look


    at the caller ID and hesitated for a bit before answering.


    “Hello?”


    Once the call connected, Keh fell silent for a long time. Anthony remained standing behind him.


    The boy''s instincts told him that something was up.


    “They''re intercepted?” Keh asked in a low voice.


    When Anthony heard that, his back straightened. He didn''t expect the news to spread so quickly.


    “I''ll be there at once.” Keh quickly hung up.


    At that, Anthony quickly turned around, ready to return to his room.


    However, Keh managed to catch sight of him and asked, “Why are you still standing here?”


    "I''m going now.” Anthony smiled.


    Keh nodded and looked at the young boy meaningfully. He then turned around to leave.


    Just as he reached the door, he bumped into Thalia and Denise.


    “Daddy,” Denise called out happily. “Are you leaving?” “Yes.” Keh nodded.


    “It''s sote. Aren''t you going to stay the night?”


    “I have things to take care of.”


    Denise frowned. “But it''s sote.”


    Keh ruffled her hair and chuckled. “Rest early.”


    “Okay. Take care, Daddy,” Denise replied.


    Keh nodded. Without saying anything more, he left in a hurry.


    Anthony had not returned straight to his room. He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Keh


    leave.


    Things seemed to be progressing faster than he thought.


    Just then, Denise and Thalia walked in.


    Denise noticed her brother and asked, “Tony, where''s Daddy going? It''s sote.”


    “I don''t know.” Anthony shrugged.


    “Really? You don''t know?” Denise pressed on for answers.


    “How would I know? It''s his personal matters,” Anthony retorted.


    Denise narrowed her eyes. She had a feeling that her brother knew more than he was willing to


    reveal.


    Anthony pretended to be tired as he yawned. “Okay, it''s gettingte. I''ll be going back to my room to


    rest. Good night!”


    With that, he turned around to leave before anyone could say a word.


    “Anthony,” Thalia called out to him.


    The boy turned around to look at her. “Yes?”


    Thalia merely smiled. “Oh, nothing. I just want to give you a warning. Don''t offend me next time.”


    Anthony frowned, but there was still a smile on his face. “Why not?” he questioned.


    “If you ever dare to offend me one more time, I''ll make sure you''ll be begging for mercy,” Thalia


    threatened.


    Anthony, however, did not take her threats seriously. With a nonchnt smile, he replied


    sarcastically, “Oh, I''m so scared!” Before Thalia could even respond, he smiled smugly and walked


    away.


    Thalia red daggers at him as she took deep breaths to calm herself down.


    I should allow him to be pleased with himselffirst if I want to bring him down. Two more days. When


    that day arrives, I''ll definitely win.
