Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 103

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

“Grandpa,” Kenneth greeted politely before launching into his explanation. “Thea is undergoing emergency treatment as we speak.”

Liam narrowed his eyes.

Caroline learned of their relationship from the way Kenneth 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.

Kenneth's tense brows relaxed a little upon hearing that it was nothing serious.

Liam rolled his eyes at Kenneth as he studied the latter, failing to stifle a complaint. “What are the odds of the two women coming to the same hospital?”

Kenneth 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 old lady scolding Mr. Handsome outside just now, Nat.”

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

“What fierce old lady?” Terence asked.

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

“Oh, it's like this,” Liam hurriedly explained. “Kenneth's assistant fainted from hypoglycemia and was sent to the hospital. Her mother was there and happened to speak a little loudly.”
