Chapter 103


    Liam strode over, his gaze falling upon Keh. “What happened?”


    “Grandpa,” Keh greeted politely beforeunching into his exnation. “Thea is undergoing


    emergency treatment as we speak.”


    Liam narrowed his eyes.


    Caroline learned of their rtionship from the way Keh greeted the old man.


    Standing before her was the patriarch of the Hamilton family, who had once shaken the business


    world. She often heard his name abroad in praise of his sharp mind and business acumen for


    which he was famous.


    Caroline suddenly felt at a loss for words as she gazed at the titan before her.


    At that moment, the emergency room door opened to admit the doctor.


    “Which one of you is Thea Jarman’s family?” he asked.


    “I am,” Caroline said at once.


    “Oh, there is nothing wrong with the patient,” assured the doctor. “Low blood sugar level and not


    eating had caused her to faint, that’s all. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry too much. She will be


    transferred to a ward in a moment to be put on a drip.”


    A giddy wave of relief swept over Caroline upon hearing that.


    “Thank God it’s nothing serious.” Upon recalling something, she turned to the doctor. “Thank you


    so much, doctor.”


    “It’s part of my job.” He smiled and walked back in again without another word.


    Keh’s tense brows rxed a little upon hearing that it was nothing serious.


    Liam rolled his eyes at Keh as he studied thetter, failing to stifle aint. “What are the


    odds of the two womening to the same hospital?”


    Keh did not know how to respond to that.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to see Nat.”


    Liam spun around and led Denise and Benjamin away without giving his grandson a chance to


    speak.


    He did not even deign to greet Caroline.


    By the time Caroline turned around, Liam was already walking away with the two children. She


    frowned as she watched them.


    Hmm, those two kids.


    Thea was wheeled out before she could spare any further thought to the matter. Seeing her,


    Caroline bent down by her side at once.


    “How are you, Thea? Are you all right?”


    …


    Denise and Benjamin rushed to the bed as soon as Liam brought the children to Natasha’s ward.


    “Hello, Nat,” the children chorused.


    A smile spread across Natasha’s pale face at the sight of them. “You’re back!”


    “We miss you so much.” Denise could not resist acting coquettishly.


    “Have you been good?” Natasha asked.


    “Of course, we have,” Denise replied.


    Liam interjected that moment with a smile. “Denise and Benjamin have been well behaved and


    sensible. They were a delight to have around.”


    Natasha gazed up at Liam as she returned his smile. “Thank you for taking care of them, Old Mr.


    Hamilton. I hope they haven’t caused any trouble.”


    “There’s no need to thank me,” Liam said. “It was no trouble at all. I’m happy to do it. In fact, I


    would like you to trouble me again if there’s such trouble in the future. I like children.” He would


    have loved to care for them for the rest of his life, but he could not make it too obvious.


    Terence observed him from the corner, feeling both sad and helpless for his friend.


    Denise chose that moment to blurt, “I saw a fierce olddy scolding Mr. Handsome outside just


    now, Nat.”


    The atmosphere within the ward stiffened with awkwardness for a few seconds.


    “What fierce olddy?” Terence asked.


    “Well…” Denise was struggling to find the right words.


    “Oh, it’s like this,” Liam hurriedly exined. “Keh’s assistant fainted from hypoglycemia and


    was sent to the hospital. Her mother was there and happened to speak a little loudly.”


    It was evident that he was exining on behalf of his grandson.


    Natasha smiled. “I saw them earlier.”


    “You saw them?” Liam repeated, stunned.


    Originally, he intended to exin the situation, he could not help but shudder on Keh’s behalf


    at Natasha’s revtion.


    What luck the boy has. Out of all the hospitals in the city, he just had to send his assistant to this


    one where everybody could see him. He has dug himself a hole so deep that I can’t even help him


    out of it. In short, he deserves it.


    Terence also seemed to understand something at that moment. “I have to praise Keh for his


    energy,” he remarked teasingly.


    “He doesn’t care about the thing he should, yet takes on everything where he shouldn’t.”


    Will Liam understand such an obvious connotation? If he wants to see his precious great-


    grandchildren in the future, he must stand with them! As for Keh, he is free to even hang


    himself however he pleases. It’s not that we won’t help him but we just can’t. Everything depends


    on what he makes of it!


    Natasha did not hear a word of theirs. Instead, she had been lost in her thoughts.


    “Grandpa,” Natasha asked suddenly, “could you ask the doctor when I can be discharged?”


    Terence frowned. “Discharged? How can you be discharged from the hospital with such a grievous


    injury?”


    Natasha shrugged. “They’re all surface wounds. I will tend to them from home.”


    “Surface wounds?” Terence eximed. “You have a fracture and a concussion! You must stay for


    another two weeks, at the very least.”


    “I know my body well enough,” Natasha protested. “There really is no need for that.”


    “No, you will stay until you havepletely recovered. It’s up to the doctor when you’re free to be


    discharged.” Terence looked firm.


    “Grandpa…”


    Instinctively, Liam surmised that Natasha’s wish to be discharged was linked to Keh.


    Oh no, this is going to be a big problem!


    He could not refrain from saying, “That’s right, Nat. Just listen to your grandfather. Your injuries are


    serious. You mustn’t take your recovery lightly.”


    “I know you are all worried about me, but I know my body,” Natasha said firmly.


    Her decision could not be swayed no matter how much the two old men persuaded her.


    At that critical moment, Liam gave Denise and Benjamin a wink which the two children understood


    at once.


    “Are you angry, Nat?” Denise asked as she gazed at Natasha.


    “Angry? What would I angry about?” She shot back.


    “Angry with Mr. Handsome…” Denise’s voice trailed off into a whisper.


    However, the connotation was understood by everybody present.


    It was a question on everybody’s minds that nobody dared to ask.


    Natasha frowned at the strangeness of the child’s question.


    Benjamin chimed in immediately. “Great-grandpa is really worried about you, Nat. You’ll only make


    them feel worse if you leave the hospital now.”


    Natasha turned to Terence with a frown.


    “How about this,” Benjamin proposed, “Great-grandpa will ask the doctorter, and we’ll see what


    the doctor has to say. Deal?”


    Before Natasha could speak, the boy pressed on, “You have to set an example of valuing your

    health and taking care of yourself, Nat.”


    With that said, Natasha could not refute him.


    “Fine,” she said atst, with a resigned grin at Benjamin. “You win.”


    A smile appeared on his face. “You’re the best, Nat!”


    Terence was relieved to see Natasha relent. Liam, who was next to the former, heaved a quiet sigh


    of relief as well.


    Then, he picked up his phone to surreptitiously send a text: Everything else depends on you now,


    brat!
