Liam bought plenty of food, drinks, and games before making the trip to the hospital. Upon reaching, he went straight to Natasha's ward.
However, he discovered the ward was empty once he stepped inside.
“Why is there no one here?” Liam looked around and realized someone had already tidied the room.
Dan, who was beside him, said upon seeing the situation, “Let me check with a nurse.” With that, the man went out of the ward.
Several minutes later, Dan returned. He looked at Liam and said, “The nurse told me that Ms. Watson got discharged this morning."
“Discharged?” Liam's expression instantly turned grim.
“She hasn't completely recovered. How could she suddenly be discharged?” However, as soon as his words fell, a thought flashed through Liam's mind. “Do you think that in order not to let me meet my great-grandchildren, that old geezer took them away and fled?”
Dan chuckled upon listening to his comment. “Of course not. You’ve known Old Mr. Watson for so many years. He would have taken them away long ago if he had such thoughts. Why would he only take action now?”
Nevertheless, Liam still felt apprehensive. He took out his phone to make a call. Seeing that the call went through, Liam finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It didn't take long before Terence answered the call. His impatient voice sounded from the other end. “What's the matter?”
“Terence, y-you still have the nerve to ask me that? Nat hasn't fully recovered, but you actually allow her to get discharged!”
“I'm willing to make this decision because she's my granddaughter. What does this have to do with you?” Although Terence was also reluctant to do so, he felt it was necessary to retaliate when facing Liam's confrontation.
“Why are you such an ingrate?” “You should keep an eye on your grandson instead of my granddaughter,” Terence replied.
Liam was about to snap back when he suddenly heard a youthful male voice in the background from the other end. “Nat, you should get some rest. I can take it from here.”
Upon hearing that voice, Liam abruptly furrowed his brows. “Who's at your house?”
Terence answered, “It's none of your business. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.” Before Liam could respond, the other party had ended the call.
The ingenious Liam immediately recalled the young man who had come to the hospital the other day.
That Terence really refuses to give up!
With that thought in mind, Liam whirled around and wanted to walk out.
“Where are you going, Old Mr. Hamilton?” Dan followed closely behind.
“To Terence's house!” “Are we not going to see Mr. Kenneth?” Dan questioned.
Only then did Liam remember that Kenneth was still staying in the neighboring ward.
After deeply mulling over it, he turned around again and headed straight to his grandson's ward.
Kenneth was still fast asleep. Nonetheless, as a light sleeper, he instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion at the door.
Looking at the door vigilantly, he only noticed Liam entering in a foul mood.
“Grandpa?”
“You brat, how can you still be in the mood to sleep?” Liam could no longer hold back and started reprimanding his grandson once he stepped inside the ward.
Kenneth appeared exhausted. The man had spent the past few days watching over Natasha in the hospital and slept in his clothes. On top of that, he had chatted with Anthony the whole night and only fallen asleep just now.
“What's wrong?” Kenneth asked as he shut his eyes to rest. “Who made you angry again?”
“Do you know Nat got discharged from the hospital?”
Kenneth's eyes suddenly flew wide open.
Clarity returned to his eyes. “Discharged? When?”
“Someone is about to snatch Nat away right now, but you're still in the mood to sleep!” Liam scoffed when he saw Kenneth's ignorant expression.
