Chapter 464


    “Daddy, it''s said that parents have to be equally fair to their children. Problems will arise if they can''t


    treat their children fairly!” Anthony warned, his gaze trained on Keh.


    Keh cast him an intrigued look. “What kind of problems will arise?”


    “Well...” Anthony deliberated for a moment before announcing, “It''ll easily lead to us being unhealthy


    mentally and spiritually!”


    Upon hearing that, Keh nodded in a seemingly solemn manner. Just when Anthony thought that


    he would do some self-reflection and decide to treat them all equally, the manmented, “It looks


    like I haven''t been whipping you enough. You''ll be fine when I do so more often henceforth.”


    Anthony was wholly floored.


    “It isn''t just me. In the future, you two must also treat Denise as I do,” Keh instructed.


    At that instant, Benjamin leaned forward as well. “Daddy, others value their sons greater than their


    daughters. Why are you the exact opposite?”


    “Have you not heard that rare things are precious?” Keh asked in return.


    His remark had Anthony and Benjamin at a loss for words.


    Good Lord! So, this is the reason?


    When Keh saw they had both fallen silent, his lips curved into a smirk. “In our family, Nat and


    Denise are the only two females. The rest of us are all males. Shouldn''t we be protecting and


    amodating them?”


    Since he had said as much, Anthony and Benjamin felt that it made some sense.


    “Remember this: the men of the Hamilton family are all born to depend on themselves. Contrarily,


    the women of the Hamilton family are all born to enjoy life. Do you understand?” Keh urged, his


    eyes fixated on them through the rearview mirror.


    Anthony and Benjamin nodded firmly. “Yes.”


    Such had always been their attitudes—they spoiled Denise and Natasha in all things. Their envy


    right then was nothing more than a joke. Most importantly, they were incredibly gratified to hear


    Keh uttering such words.


    Consequently, that fight for affection turned into a catalyst for their rtionship, bringing the father


    and sons a step closer to each other.


    The car bounced up and down as it sped along the bumpy road, but it didn''t affect their


    conversation in the car at all.


    More than ten minutester, they arrived at their destination.


    Gazing at the hotel in the distance, Benjamin noted, “This is the ce. Rumor has it that they


    reserved the entire hotel. But then, there are guards standing sentry both inside and outside. After


    the sneak attack yesterday especially, security is likely even tighter now.”


    Keh stared at the structure, his eyes narrowed into slits.


    After driving near the hotel, they found a rtively safe and secluded spot to park the car. Then, the


    three of them went to a higher vantage point to take a gander at the situation within the hotel.


    Anthony scrutinized the ce with binocrs. “The hotel has two floors to it. There are two guards


    outside the hotel, but I can''t see the situation inside clearly.”


    Hearing that, Keh took the binocrs from him and peered through them.


    Benjamin said, “Although the hotel is not high, the distance is pretty daunting. It won''t be easy to


    find out the room they''re upying.”


    As Keh studied the hotel through the binocrs, he noticed that the entire building was brightly


    lit, with the exception of one or two that were in pitch darkness.


    He turned to the two boys. “I remember Nat prefers to turn off the lights when she goes to bed,


    yes?”


    Anthony bobbed his head. “Yup! She can''t even stand the faintest ray of light when she sleeps. She


    often turns off her phone as well, afraid that her phone will light up and disrupt her sleep.”


    When Keh heard that, he motioned for them to cast their eyes ahead. “Look, the entire hotel is


    lit. Only that room, the other one there, and the one on the far right are shrouded in darkness.”


    Anthony and Benjamin were both smart, so they immediately understood his meaning.


    “So if Nat is here, she must be in one of those three rooms!” Anthony concluded.


    “But don''t most hotels have rooms facing away from the sun? What if her room is on the other


    side?” Benjamin mused.


    “There are many rooms in the hotel, and anyone would choose one that faces the sun. She must be


    in one of these three rooms unless she didn''t have a choice,” Keh said.


    Benjamin mulled it over for a while before nodding thoughtfully.


    Just then, something abruptly popped into Anthony''s mind. “Benjamin, do you still remember the


    Morse code Nat taught us when we were young?”


    Benjamin nodded. “Yeah... You''re thinking of using that?”


    “I think we can give it a try,” Anthony proposed.


    “But how?”


    Anthony racked his brain. Subsequently, he put down his backpack and rummaged around.


    A few minutester, he dug out a ck pen.


    “What''s this?”


    Anthony clicked it. In a sh, a green light appeared.


    “Aser pen? You carry such a thing around with you?” Benjamin gaped at him.


    “I got it as aplimentary gift when I made a purchase previously, and I''ve been keeping it in my


    bag ever since. Never had I expected it toe in handy!” Anthony then turned to Keh. “What


    do you think, Daddy? Shall we give it a try?”


    Taking it from him, Keh turned it over in his hand. “You really got this as aplimentary gift?”


    “Of course!” Anthony bobbed his head.


    The corners of Keh''s mouth twitched, but he didn''t pursue the matter further. Instead, he


    returned the pen to his son. “Let''s try it, then!”


    Anthony nodded. “Shall we start with this room?”


    “Sure!”


    “Would we identally get the Boss'' room?” Benjamin faltered.


    Anthony, who had just activated the light, instantly turned it off. He nced back over his shoulder


    at Benjamin. “W-Would we be so unlucky?”


    After a moment''s contemtion, Keh surmised, “He was injured yesterday, so he won''t be


    making things so obvious at the moment. I think his room is definitely lit right now.”


    “In that case, won''t Nat be in grave danger?” Anthony asked.


    “He won''t care about her life!” Keh scoffed.


    Anthony''s expression changed. Pinning his gaze on the darkened room, he clicked theser pen


    and shone it over.


    In ordance with the Morse code, the light flickered.


    s, there was no response even after they had finished rying the message.


    As the three of them continued watching the room, Benjamin again wondered, “Is Nat asleep?


    That''s why she can''t see it?”


    “That''s possible. Anyhow, let''s try first. If it doesn''t work, we''lle up with other methods!”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Benjamin bobbed his head.


    Thus, Anthony moved on to another room after that first attempt.


    In truth, he was indeed apprehensive as he tried, terrified that he''d really be so down on his luck


    that he got Boss'' room. If that happened, their n would fail miserably.


    For that reason, sweat beaded on his forehead when he tried the second room.


    He formted the letters one by one. However, there was still no response after they had waited for


    some time.


    Honestly speaking, they all couldn''t help feeling a touch dejected right then.


    By then, there was only a room left. The three of them proceeded to exchange nces. Looking at


    them, Keh reassured, “It''s okay. We were merely trying our luck anyway. It doesn''t matter even


    if we don''t find her. It won''t affect the rest of our ns!”


    Anthony nodded upon hearing that. Then, he fixated his gaze on the final room. Just as he was


    about to click theser pen, Benjamin offered, “I''ll do it!”


    Eyeing him, Anthony handed him the pen.


    Benjamin trained his eyes on the darkened room in the distance.


    After aiming the light over, he ryed the exact same few words as Anthony did: Are you there,


    Nat?
