Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 104

Anthony spotted Thalia's car outside the hospital. After a quick look around, he opened the door and went in.

Thalia had a computer on her lap and a lollipop in her mouth. She handed a lollipop over at his arrival. “Would you like one?”

Anthony accepted it eagerly. He unwrapped it and put it in his mouth.

Thalia's gaze returned to her computer once more. “I'd had a look,” she declared as she sucked on her lollipop. “Your mother was here during that period.” She then turned the screen to Anthony.

It was surveillance footage depicting a hallway in the hospital.

Natasha was standing at the door of a ward looking at something when a man suddenly appeared behind her.

The horror of a suspense drama was palpable even through the screen.

Startled, Natasha spun around just in time for the doctor's appearance.

The man slipped into the ward as Natasha spoke to the doctor at the door.

The video lasted only several minutes.

“I ran a background check on him, but I didn't find any direct involvement with your mother,” Thalia said. “It should just be an ordinary mental disorder.”

Anthony looked at the screen and frowned slightly.

“Is it possible that you're overthinking this out of anxiousness?” Thalia asked.

Anthony shook his head. “I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this. Nat deliberately took me away today. She must be hiding something from me.”

Thalia pursed her lips as she stared at him. “I'm curious about how accurate children's intuition is.”

Anthony rolled his eyes at her. “By the way, could you assign one of the surveillance cameras at the door of Nat's ward to my

phone? That way, I can tune in any time.”

Thalia nodded. “No problem.”

Her slender fingers worked furiously on the computer before they stopped moving abruptly.

Thalia's beautiful eyes narrowed into slits as she stared at the screen. Her flickering eyes seemed to be appreciating something.

Anthony leaned over when he noticed that she had frozen. “What's the matter? What are you looking at?”

Turning pale almost immediately, he wished he did not see it.

The footage depicted another instance in the hospital when Kenneth sent Thea to the emergency room and the entire incident of encountering Natasha in the corridor.

From the camera's point of view, it looked especially like a messy love triangle.

Thalia cleared her throat. “Anthony.”

“What?”

“This Kenneth isn't in love with your mother, is he?” she asked.

Anthony frowned. “No,” he instinctively retorted.

“Are you sure? Look at his eyes and your mother's. They're looking so tenderly at one another,” Thalia remarked while they watched. “You know, with the looks of Kenneth and your mother, they would be perfect for the leading parts if they starred in a movie. It would definitely be a blockbuster. They look so good from every possible angle! I wonder what their unborn children will look like.”

Anthony was struck dumb with incredulity.

What else can I say?

Anthony took the computer from her lap and sent a link to one of the surveillance cameras to his phone with several keystrokes. He then shut the laptop with a smack after he was done.

Thalia was not satisfied. “Hey, what are you doing? I'm not done.”

Anthony looked at her. “Would you still

want your reward?”

Thalia was taken aback. “Of course,” she nodded solemnly.

“Be serious, then.”

“I am being serious!”

However, Thalia studied Anthony again in the next second. She looked at each side of his face carefully.

Anthony was deeply uncomfortable by her scrutiny and scowled with displeasure. “What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?”

“Don't you think that you share a resemblance with Kenneth?” Thalia said enigmatically. “You look so much like him. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed that you and he have a shady relationship.”
