Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1029

After that, Anthony had been so busy that he almost forgot about Magus.

When he arrived to see the latter, Magus was administering medicine to Lina.

Lina looked like she had put on some weight, while her complexion seemed better than before. She was also wearing a pleasant smile on her face.

Anthony looked at her. “How have you been? Has your condition improved recently?”

Upon hearing this, Lena immediately nodded, “Yes, I'm much better now. I haven't been sick again. Moreover, I feel like I'm a little fat now.”

At that moment, Magus, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “Fat? No, you're still too thin. You need to eat more.”

Lina laughed and said, “Are you trying to fatten me up like a pig?”

Magus replied, “No matter how much you eat, it won't happen.”

Lina laughed, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Anthony and Benjamin were watching from the side, not saying a word.

After taking her medicine, Lena looked at Magus, “Alright now. Mr. Anthony is here to see you. It must be something important. You should attend to him now.”

Magus looked at her and nodded. “Okay. You should get some rest. There's no need to wait for me.”

“Mm-hmm.” Lena nodded.

Magus put down his bowl and looked at Anthony. “Let's talk outside.”

Anthony nodded. When he was just about to leave, Lina called out suddenly, “Mr. Anthony.”

Anthony turned around to be greeted by Lina's intent gaze. “Thank you.”

Anthony was slightly taken aback.

“Thank you for giving us the opportunity to start our lives anew. Both Magus and I are immensely grateful to you,” Lena sincerely said.

Anthony looked at her with a faint smile on his face. “Sometimes, you're the one who gave yourself a chance, not someone else. This is your choice, and it's what both of you deserve.”

Lena looked at him and nodded.

Despite being a young child, Anthony possessed wisdom that transcended the ordinary, be it in his words or actions.

“Get some rest,” Magus instructed, then glanced at Anthony. They then turned around and walked out.

They didn't stop until they were outside.

“Let's talk here. I have some matters to consult you about,” Anthony said.

Magus inquired, “Go on, tell me what is it.”

Anthony looked at him. “I want to ask. In your line of work, do you have any channels or resources...” As if afraid he couldn't express himself adequately, Anthony furrowed his brows, then continued, “What I mean is, if any of you takes on a mission, is there a way to know? Would someone show off or share something about it?”

“Well...” Magus furrowed his brows. “Generally, our business is passed on by word of mouth. Unless recommended by someone we know, we won't take the job. As you know, what we do is usually clandestine. So, to avoid trouble, very few people come out to show off or brag about it.”

Upon hearing this, Anthony furrowed his brows. “So, are you saying that craftsmen like you don't have any sort of community?”

“Well...” Magus looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “We do.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony's eyes instantly widened.

“We have a group chat, and the chat group leader is quite mysterious. He often posts missions in the group, and someone will take them. However, you generally won't know who accepted them. No one talks about it, and no one asks because anyone who does so is breaking the rules,” said Magus.

Anthony's eyebrows furrowed. “May I take a look at that group chat?”

Magus nodded. “Sure.” Saying this, he immediately took out his phone, brought up the group chat, and then handed the phone to Anthony.

Anthony took it and looked through the chat. There were over a hundred people in it, which wasn't considered a lot.

After skimming through it, Anthony couldn't discern much. He looked up at Magus and asked, “Could you give me the contact information of these people?”
