Suddenly, Kenneth turned to Fabian and asked, “I told you to look into Natasha. What did you find out about her?”

Fabian was stumped by the sudden change in the tone of the conversation.

He looked at Kenneth and solemnly said, “I swear I did a thorough investigation on Ms. Watson, Mr. Hamilton. I left no stones unturned, but there was no evidence of the existence of the kids! It seems like someone deliberately made an effort to hide some information.”

Kenneth felt the same way. He felt that Natasha selectively revealed whatever information that fitted into the image she wanted to present to other people. It was a very suspicious move on her part.

Just as he was about to give that matter more thought, Terence came out of the room with Denise and Benjamin.

Kenneth whispered to Fabian and said, “Mind what you say in front of Old Mr. Watson. Don’t make him worry.”

“Noted,” Fabian softly replied.

Kenneth watched as Terence told the kids, “Go in and take a look at your mommy. I’ll send you to school after that.”

Denise and Benjamin nodded and went into the ward.

Kenneth went up to Terence and said, “You did not sleep a wink last night and may not be in the best condition to drive. Let Fabian go with you. He can drive you and the kids to school.”

Fabian put on a big smile and greeted Terence when the latter looked toward him. “Hello, Old Mr. Watson.”

Now that Natasha ended up in the hospital because of a car accident, Terence did not want to argue with Kenneth, so he begrudgingly agreed to Kenneth’s proposal.

After entering the ward, Denise and Benjamin went straight up to Natasha’s bedside. Before the two kids could show their concern, Natasha opened her eyes.

“Nat!” Denise shouted out excitedly.

Natasha motioned her to hush, and the latter obligingly contained her excitement and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Nat, you are awake!”

“Yup.” Natasha nodded and continued, “But we have to lower our voice so the monster outside won’t come running in.”

“So, you have been pretending to be unconscious?” Denise asked.
