Chapter 58
Kenneth just got back from Baykeep, and before he could even read the countless messages on his phone, he got a call from Thea.
“Kenneth, I don't know what happened to my father, but he suddenly passed out. My mother fainted too when she saw him. I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to them. What should I do?” asked Thea in a broken voice.
When Kenneth saw that his phone was running out of battery, he knew he did not have the time for comforting. “Where are you now?
“We've just reached Skyline Hospital.”
“I'll be right over. My phone is going to be —” Before Kenneth could finish his sentence, his phone screen went black.
“What's wrong, Mr. Hamilton?” inquired Fabian, who was just in front of Kenneth.
“Go straight to Skyline Hospital.”
Fabian then nodded in response before steering the car in the right direction.
When they finally reached the hospital, Kenneth handed his phone to Fabian before getting out of the car. “Charge it for me.
Meanwhile, Thea waited for Kenneth in the corridor, sitting alone.
“What happened, Thea?” inquired Kenneth as he approached the woman.
As soon as Thea saw Kenneth, she threw herself at him. “What do I do, Kenneth? I'm so scared. The doctor told me that my father might have a malignant tumor. I don't know what to do if
something happens to him.”
After listening to Thea, Kenneth removed the woman's arms from him. “Just calm down and tell me everything slowly.”
Thea was already drenched in tears then. “I can't calm down right now. I really don't know what to do, Kenneth. I just... What should I do?”
After some thought, Kenneth replied, “I got it. You just wait here for me, and I'm going to speak with the Director.”
Staring at Kenneth, Thea eventually decided to trust the man and nodded in agreement.
Not long after Kenneth went upstairs, he returned with the Director and all the authoritative physicians.
Thea was waiting anxiously by the door before Kenneth appeared in her sight again. It was as if the man was her only hope.
“Don't worry, Mr. Hamilton. I've already contacted the best oncologist; you'll get the result at the latest by tomorrow,” assured the Director.
“Thank you, Director. Sorry to bother you at this hour.”
“Nonsense, Mr. Hamilton. You can come to me whenever you need me. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way.”
“Sure.”
After sending the Director away, Thea approached Kenneth once again. “Kenneth...”
“It’s okay. Your father's condition has stabilized, but we'll only be getting the results for the diagnosis tomorrow,” explained Kenneth while looking at the woman.
“Do you think he's going to be fine?” inquired Thea, looking back at Kenneth.
“Thea, just try not to think too much about it before we get the results,” advised Kenneth.
Thea nodded in response. “If it weren't for you today...”
“You helped me when I needed it most. This is the least I can do.”
“Then, do you think you could stay here with me tonight, Kenneth? I'm really scared,” asked Thea as she continued to look at the man. “You're the only person I know here.”
Kenneth slightly furrowed his eyebrows while nodding. “Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere until we get the results.”
It was only then Thea finally smiled. “I appreciate that. Thank you, Kenneth.”
“Now let's go see your father.”
In response to that, Thea nodded gladly.
After Harry's condition stabilized, he was transferred from the emergency room to the general ward.
Caroline did not stay conscious for long after waking up, for she cried so hard that she fainted once again.
Thea only returned to Harry's side after comforting Caroline.
As soon as Thea entered the room, she saw Kenneth asleep on the couch.
The woman then tip-toed over and carefully sat down to gaze at the slumbering man.
Even though Kenneth's eyebrows were still slightly knitted, his exquisite facial features looked less cold than usual, making the man seem somewhat more approachable.
Thea took out her phone and leaned in to take a picture of Kenneth.
After that, she uploaded the photo to Instagram: Thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. I’ll do the same for you.
Thea put her device away afterward and gently pulled a blanket over Kenneth.
Suddenly, her phone beeped, and displayed on the screen was a screenshot of a news article her assistant had sent her.
Thea could immediately tell who it was in the photo attached to the article.
Then, the woman hurried outside to call her assistant. “Where did you get this?”
“It happened this afternoon; by night, it was already all over the news. However, the article quickly disappeared for some reason. This is just a screenshot,” explained the assistant.
Others may not recognize the woman, but I'm confident she’s none other than Natasha Watson! “Why did they say the car was a gift from Kenneth?” inquired Thea.
“I'm not sure about that either. It's just hearsay. Nobody could prove that Mr. Hamilton was even involved,” replied the assistant.
“Could this photo be fake?”
“It's been analyzed and confirmed to be real.”
At that moment, Thea could not even begin to describe how disturbed she was. “Got it.” With that, the woman ended the phone call and continued to go through the news article.
As the assistant said, Thea could not find anything that suggested Kenneth was, in any way, involved. So why would people say that it was a gift from Kenneth? Could this be Natasha's doing?
After looking at and reading about the sportscar and Natasha, Thea could not help but think that the rumors were true, for some reason.
Thea only returned to the ward after taking some time to recollect herself.
The woman felt conflicted as she stared at
Kenneth, who was still sound asleep on the couch. What exactly are you thinking, Kenneth? Who is it that you care about? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Meanwhile, Liam made a phone call to the press. “That was a big scoop I gave you, so why did it disappear so quickly?”
“Old Mr. Hamilton, we have no idea who keeps taking down our articles either. No matter how many times we uploaded a new one, it'd be removed instantly!”
“How's that possible?”
“Maybe we've offended an expert or something. The articles we uploaded have all vanished.”
“So who have you offended?”
“We don't know.”
With eyebrows furrowed, Liam thought for a while before voicing, “Forget it. You're a waste of my time, and I'm never working with you again.” With that, the man immediately hung up.
Dan, the butler, looked worriedly at Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, aren't you afraid that
Mr. Kenneth's going to find out?” “What proof does he have? Besides, what can he do about it anyway? Be mad at me?”
Dan could not help but chuckle in response. “I thought you said you wanted to stop Mr. Kenneth from troubling Ms. Watson. It doesn't look like you're trying to do that.”
“That's because you don't understand. I'm trying to stir up trouble where there's none,” explained Liam with a smirk. “This brat has obviously fallen in love. If I don't teach him a lesson, he's not going to know what unrequited love is like. If nothing else, I'm teaching him to be appreciative.”
“I hope Mr. Kenneth sees where you're coming from.”
“I wouldn't expect that much from that heartless brat!” cursed Liam.
