Chapter 34
Denise’s eyes lit up while she stared at Kenneth’s handsome face. When she recalled that he
might be her father, her heart was filled with happiness. “With you here, I’m not scared!”
She was so sweet that Kenneth wished for nothing more than her to be his daughter. “If anything
happens in the future, call me immediately. You’re too young to know how evil the world is. Your
safety is number one, okay?”
When Denise heard his advice, she felt like she was brimming with happiness. “Can I look for you
anytime I want?”
“Of course,” replied Kenneth.
“That’s great! I have someone to protect me!” Denise threw her arms around Kenneth’s neck
happily.
While Thea watched them from the side, an ambiguous smile played on her lips.
This girl is too good with words. It’s not that I’m treating this child as my rival, but there’s something
about her that doesn’t belong to a kid of her age… And she has a familiar vibe too. I can’t put my
finger on who she resembles.
“Who is she, Kenneth?”
“The child I met at the airport. I mentioned her to you before,” replied Kenneth.
“It’s her!” Thea smiled before looking at Denise. “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?”
Denise turned around and realized that Thea was standing there. After scrutinizing her from head
to toe, she replied coolly, “Denise.”
“That’s a really unique name,” said Thea. “Where are your parents?”
The smile on Denise’s face faded. “I don’t have a daddy. My mommy’s not here either.”
“You don’t have a daddy? Why not?”
“A woman probably snatched him away,” answered Denise with a shrug.
Um…
Naturally, Thea did not know that Denise was referring to her. For a short while, she did not know
what to say.
Kenneth interrupted, “Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Do you want to eat something, Denise? I’ll
bring you to eat some food.”
“Okay!” Denise nodded.
Carrying her, Kenneth walked forward happily. While Thea stared at their backs, a strange feeling
arose within her.
She walked forward and asked with a smile, “Denise, would you like me to carry you?”
Obviously, Denise would be unwilling. She hugged Kenneth’s neck and insisted, “No! I want Mr.
Handsome to carry me.”
Thea was at a loss for words.
Without saying anything, Kenneth walked away while still carrying Denise.
In a coffee shop near the hospital, he ordered two cups of coffee and a dessert, which naturally
was for the little girl.
While Denise ate, she felt happy that Kenneth protected her.
However, when she looked at Thea sitting in front of her and remembered the news she saw a few
days back, she asked, “What’s your relationship with Mr. Handsome?”
Not expecting Denise to suddenly talk to her, Thea glanced at her before looking at Kenneth.
“Is it a difficult question to answer?” asked Denise again, still looking adorable.
Thea was stumped by her question. Looking at her, she asked, “What do you think our relationship
is?”
“Um… Probably a boss and his subordinate.”
“Why would you say that?”
“It looks like it,” replied Denise.
Thea was speechless. Meanwhile, Kenneth gazed at Denise with an affectionate and doting smile.
“Is my guess right, Mr. Handsome?”
“Yes.” Kenneth nodded.
Flashing him with a satisfied grin, she continued eating her dessert.
For some reason, Thea felt unhappy. However, she still had to feign nonchalance.
“Can I have another portion later, Mr. Handsome?”
“Of course! You can eat as much as you want.”
“You’re amazing!” Denise grinned cutely.
When Thea saw that, she could not help but roll her eyes.
On the other side, Anthony and Benjamin went to the floor with the VIP wards.
They were initially wondering how they could meet Liam. However, when they arrived upstairs,
they immediately spotted Liam strolling around with a nurse behind him.
“I’ve been taking medicine for the entire day. Can’t I rest for a while?”
“Sir, that’s in the morning. You still haven’t taken any medicine till now,” persuaded the nurse as
she followed behind him.
“Stop following me! Let me have some peace and quiet. I’ll go back and take my medicine after
that, okay?” asked Liam.
“You say the same lie to me every time.”
“Yet, you still believed me. Why don’t you believe me now?”
Speechless, the nurse felt like crying.
When the kids witnessed the exchange, Benjamin could not help but laugh. “He’s bullying her!”
“He’s just like you when you have to take medicine,” teased Anthony.
Benjamin fell quiet.
“All right, let’s go,” said Anthony. Since they had seen Liam and ensured that he was all right, there
was nothing to worry about.
However, Benjamin grabbed him. “Aren’t we going to talk to him?”
“Talk about what?”
“We’re already here! Isn’t it a pity if we don’t talk to him?” asked Benjamin.
Anthony frowned.
“You look the most like Daddy. You should go!” urged Benjamin.
However, Anthony hesitated.
“What if we can get our hands on some useful information?” added Benjamin.
That piqued Anthony’s interest. “What should I say?”
After Benjamin whispered into Anthony’s ear, he frowned. Although he was extremely reluctant to
say that, he had to admit that Benjamin was a genius.
“Go on!”
“Stay here and don’t move.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be watching you from here.”
Only then did Anthony nod, take a deep breath, and walk out.
Although they were in the VIP hospital wards, it was quite crowded. After all, there were loads of
rich people.
Anthony deliberately approached Liam. Just when he was right in front, he gently bumped into
Liam and raised his head.
“Sorry.”
Liam glanced downward. He was about to say something, but he froze when he caught a glimpse
of Anthony.
“You…”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose,” apologized Anthony sincerely.
“It’s… It’s all right,” assured Liam quickly. He bent down and stared at Anthony’s face, unable to
tear his eyes away.
Since Liam had single-handedly raised Kenneth, he knew very well what the latter looked like.
This kid looks exactly like Kenneth! It’s like he’s an exact replica.
“What’s your name?” asked Liam, his shocked gaze fixated on Anthony’s face.
“I’m Anthony.”
“Anthony?” repeated Liam before laughing. “You look exactly like my grandson.” Remembering
something, he asked, “Where are your parents?”
“They…” Anthony hesitated, not knowing what to say. He had always been a bad liar. As he did not
wish to lie to Liam, he was conflicted over how to respond.
At that moment, the nurse appeared. “Old Mr. Hamilton, just take your medicine! I can only
complete my task if you do it.”
Denise’s eyes lit up while she stared at Kenneth’s handsome face. When she recalled that he
might be her father, her heart was filled with happiness. “With you here, I’m not scared!”
She was so sweet that Kenneth wished for nothing more than her to be his daughter. “If anything
