Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 111

At night, Natasha was already sleeping by the time Kenneth returned to the ward.

As the moonlight shone through the window and bathed its rays on her, she looked as if she was glowing with a silver hue, and that sight mesmerized him.

Staring at her, he treaded softly until he was by her bed before kneeling down and continuing to observe her.

She slept like a baby and looked at peace.

Even though many years had passed and she had become a mother, there was no indication on her face that would betray that fact.

Her porcelain white complexion and taut-looking skin made her look as if she was a woman in her early twenties.

At that moment, he harked back to the night from a few years ago—the night he slept with her after getting drunk.

That time, she had also slept just like how she was now. But what had changed?

Even though her face and temperament were the same, Kenneth felt that something was just different.

He reached out to touch her face and her lips. However, the moment he was conscious of his actions, his hand froze mid-air.

Staring at it, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

It was at that moment that a sudden knock on the door was heard.

Warily, he looked outside.

Yet, there was no other sign of movement after the knock.

He glanced at Natasha and could see that she was still sound asleep and wasn't disturbed.

He frowned, not knowing whether he should be happy or angry over her lack of vigilance.

With that thought in mind, he got to his feet and walked out.

Upon opening the door, he saw Thalia leaning against the wall with a lollipop in her mouth. The moment she saw him, she extended her hand and greeted him, “Hello, we meet again.”

Kenneth narrowed his gaze at her. “It's you again?”

“Yes, it is!” Thalia broke into a faint smile, looking as if she was the prettiest girl there ever existed.

“What are you doing here?”

“Obviously, I have something to tell you.” Thalia cocked a brow.

After glancing into the ward and making sure Natasha was fine, Kenneth gently closed the door behind him.

However, the moment it shut, Natasha suddenly opened her eyes and turned to her side to glance outward. Her gaze subsequently darkened.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Kenneth asked without hesitation.

Licking her lips, Thalia stared at him. “First, I want to declare where I stand. I'm not the villain here—at least not to her,” Thalia stated while pointing at Natasha's ward.

Kenneth continued to observe her in silence.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, he did believe her. After all, she had kept watch at Natasha's door the last time.

When she didn't get a response from him, Thalia continued, “In that case, let me speak candidly. I have spread the news of her being warded here. Hence, whoever is trying to harm her will definitely show up in the next two days. We... I wanted to use the opportunity to catch him, but with you here... Do you get what I'm trying to say?”

“Who are you?” Kenneth questioned.

“That's not important,” Thalia replied with a shake of her head.

If I tell him who I am, there's no way we can continue this conversation. We will end up dueling for hundreds of rounds until one of us loses our life. As I'm here on official business, our showdown will have to wait for some other time.
