Chapter 85
Terence was about to speak further when the door was pushed open, and Keh entered the
ward.
Immediately, Natasha cowardly closed her eyes. Until she figured out how to resolve the issue,
avoidance would be her best solution.
“How is it, Old Mr. Watson? Has shee around?” Keh went over and asked.
Terence was taken by surprise by Keh’s appearance as well. He hurriedly turned around to
look at Natasha and found she had closed her eyes.
Not knowing what she was up to, Terence awkwardly let out a dry cough and said, “Um, not yet…”
“That is strange! Based on the doctor’s assessment, she should have regained consciousness by

now.” Keh was puzzled.
“I was wondering too…” Terence replied, putting on a worried look.
“Let me check with the doctor,” Keh said, then went out of the ward again.
Seeing that Natasha had continued to keep her eyes closed, Terence knew she had no intention of
“waking up” and intended to keep up with her act.
Shortly after, the doctor came in and did an examination on her. “I thought you said it was just
some superficial injuries. Why is she still unconscious?” Keh asked, concerned.
“Don’t worry. Every patient responds differently. Maybe Ms. Watson is a little weak and thus takes
a little longer to regain her consciousness. It is not a concern, so please don’t worry about it.” The
doctor was reassuring, but Keh was not convinced.
“But—” He was about to protest when Terence interjected and said, “Let’s trust the doctor and just
wait a little longer.”
Since even Terence had no objections, Keh could only nod in consent and keep quiet.
“Mr. Hamilton, it is nothing to worry about, but if you are concerned, we can do another thorough
check-up for Ms. Watsonter,” the doctor suggested upon sensing Keh’s concern.
“Please do so as soon as possible,” Keh said.
After the doctor left, Keh’s phone rang. After he took a nce at the caller ID, he turned to
Terence and excused himself. “Excuse me, Old Mr. Watson. I will step out to take this call,” he
said.
Terence nodded in acknowledgment.
Fabian was waiting outside with some takeout boxes in his hands, and as he walked over to
Keh, he couldn’t help but wonder out loud. “Mr. Hamilton, Ms. Watson is injured, so do you
really think she is able to finish all this food?”
Keh grabbed the takeout boxes from him and went into the next room, ignoring him.
The two kids were awake and had already made their beds.
Upon seeing him, Denise sweetly greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Handsome!”
“Good morning!” Keh was all smiles.
“Little Marshmallow? Why is she here, Mr. Hamilton?” Fabian’s eyes widened in astonishment as
he was surprised to see Denise there.
Keh did not bother to reply to him, but Denise went up and greeted him as well.
“How are you, Mr. Houde?”
“I am fine. What about you?” Fabian looked at her dotingly, totally in love with the little girl.
“Is my mommy awake, Mr. Handsome?” Denise asked.
“Not yet, but the doctor says she will wake up soon,” Keh answered as he ced some
takeout boxes in front of her and added, “We brought breakfast for the two of you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Handsome.” She nodded and thank him, then turned to motion Benjamin to do the
same.
Benjamin stepped forward and smilingly thank Keh as well.
“Dig in! I will go over to deliver some food to your great-grandpa,” Keh said, and he lovingly
gave her a head rub when Denise nodded obediently.
As Fabian walked out with Keh, he waved to Denise and said, “See youter, Little
Marshmallow!”
“Why is that little girl here? Who is her mommy?” Fabian asked as he caught up with Keh, who
continued to ignore all his questions.
Keh walked into the ward and greeted Terence. “Please take your breakfast, Old Mr. Watson.”
Terence took a look at him and said, “I don’t feel like eating now. You can leave it on the table.”
Keh obligingly did that.
Upon seeing Natasha, Fabian suddenly remembered a matter. He turned to Keh and said,
“Oh, Mr. Hamilton, I reckon the police will being overter to take her statement.”
Terence turned around in shock and asked, “Statement? What is that about?”
“Ms. Watson’s ident—” Fabian was about to borate when Keh interrupted him.
“It is just part of the routine investigation by the traffic police for ident cases,” Keh said
assuringly to Terence.
Terence did not suspect anything was amiss. He nodded his head, convinced.
Fabian looked puzzlingly at Keh, as he was positive Keh knew that was not what he
meant. However, he did not pursue further and went out obligingly when Keh signaled him to
do so.
After Fabian left, Keh tried to coax Terence into eating. He said, “The kids are having their
breakfast in the adjacent room. Why don’t you go join them?”
Terence shook his head and declined. “Thank you, but I really have no appetite now.”
“You have to take care of yourself. If you fall sick yourself, no one can take care of the family,”
Keh reasoned.
“Are you trying to scare me?” Terence turned to him, displeased.
“I’m fine with it if you wish to see it that way,” Keh replied, earning an irritated stare from
Terence.
“The kids need to go to school. Do you want to send them there, or should I?” Keh continued.
Terence gave it a thought and was worried that Keh might take the kids away, so he
immediately said, “I will do it myself!”
Next, he took the food from the table and made his way to the adjacent room to join the kids.
Keh nodded as he watched Terence leave, satisfied. He took another look at Natasha and
then left the room too.
After everyone left, Natasha opened her eyes. She recalled how Keh tried to coax Terence
into eating and how he stopped Fabian from telling the truth. She realized he was not a
thoughtless guy after all. At least he knew not to add on to an old man’s worry, which made him a
somewhat decent man.
Fabian finally figured things out while he was waiting outside of the ward. As soon as he saw
Kehe out, he immediately went up and asked, “Mr. Hamilton, about the ‘mommy’ Little
Marshmallow was talking about… Don’t tell me it is Ms. Watson, your ex-wife!”
Keh kept mum, but Fabian knew that his silence meant yes!
“Ms. Watson has kids? But I did not find any records of her marriage!” he eximed.
His mind was rife with all sorts of spections, and he finally settled his sight on Keh. “Your
ex-wife’s kids… are not yours, are they?”
Keh chose to remain silent, further confirming Fabian’s suspicion.
“So it is true? Oh my gosh! This is unbelievable!” Fabian gushed, and Keh gave him a dirty
look as he found Fabian a little noisy.
“I always said Little Marshmallow resembles you, did I not? The first time I met her, I thought she
was your rtive, but you denied it,” Fabian continued.
Keh recalled Fabian had indeed said that previously. He raised an eyebrow and asked,
“Really? In what ways do we look alike?”
“The eyes? Or is it the mouth?” Fabian gave Keh a hard stare, trying to match him with Denise
in his mind. “I can’t tell for sure now, but the resemnce is very clear! Like father, like daughter!
Although I can’t pinpoint the exact feature, from the first sight, I can definitely tell the two of you
look alike!” Fabian added.
His words pleased Keh, and suddenly, his boss no longer found him to be a noisy nuisance.
“Oh, it is the presence and the charisma! That’s right! She resembles you in that!” Fabian wasn’t
trying to butter Keh up. When he first saw Denise, he had thought she was rted to Keh,
but Keh had denied that.
Fabian wondered what had happened between Keh and Natasha.
However, Keh was still keeping mum.
“So, is it really true that Little Marshmallow and the other boy are your kids, Mr. Hamilton?” Driven
by curiosity, Fabian continued to probe.
