Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 105

Thea soon woke up in her ward after being put on a drip and found Caroline gazing at her with tear-filled eyes of distress.

"I've been so worried for you, Thea!”

Thea was still a little weak. Her eyelids fluttered open further at the sound of her mother's voice. “I seemed to have heard Kenneth's voice when I was still unconscious, Mom.”

Caroline appeared a little unhappy at the mention of Kenneth. “That man doesn't love you at all, Thea.”

As soon as she said that, a drop of tear rolled down the corner of Thea's eye.

Caroline's heart immediately softened. “Don't cry, Thea. There are plenty of men in the world. Kenneth is not the only one.”

“I don't care how many men there are in the world,” Thea protested weakly. “He is the only one I want.”

Caroline frowned in consternation. She was not ignorant of her daughter's stubbornness. There was no chance of Thea changing her mind once she had set her sights.

“I don't know what to do without Kenneth, Mom. I can't imagine a world without him. What should I do?” Thea's tears soon turned into streams as her voice rose in pitch.

Caroline felt distressed looking at her daughter “All right, my dear. Hush now.”

“I miss him so much, Mom!” The more Thea spoke, the more aggrieved she became.

“Good girl. He's outside right now.” Caroline told the truth, unable to hold back any longer.

Stunned by the news, Thea looked at Caroline in disbelief. “Really?”

Caroline nodded. “Yes. He was the one who sent you to the hospital.”

A glimmer of hope rose from her heart just when she had given up hope. “I knew it was him. I heard his voice. He still cares about

me!”

Caroline could not bear to burst her daughter's bubble at the sight of the latter's infatuation.

“I want to see him, Mom. Could you take me out to meet him?” Thea wanted to get up, but as she had not eaten for an entire day and night, coupled with the debilitating effects of low sugar level in her blood, a wave of dizziness overcame her before she could even stand up.

Caroline caught her swaying daughter. “What are you doing trying to get up on your own?” she reprimanded severely. “I'll get him. Go lie down!”

Thea lay back on the bed and nodded meekly.

Caroline cast one last glance at her before rising and walking out the door.

Kenneth was on the phone in the corridor outside. The door opened to reveal Caroline peering at him just as he hung up. “Thea is awake, and she wants to see you.”

Though a hint of hesitation flashed across his handsome features, Kenneth nodded and walked toward the ward.

Thea was lying on the hospital bed. She tried to sit up upon seeing Kenneth.

Kenneth stopped her. “The doctor said you need to rest. Don't get up.”

Thea felt a warmth in her heart at his words. He still cares about me!

Her eyes turned red instantly. “Oh, Kenneth...”

Caroline chose that moment to cough pointedly and drew Thea's attention to her.

“I'm going out to buy something. I'll be back soon.” Without another word, Caroline strode out.
