Seeing Kenneth's name, Natasha felt her heart skip a beat uncontrollably.
Although she did not say anything, she knew that it was Kenneth, as she had seen him wearing the same outfit earlier that day.
Natasha played the video and watched it once again carefully.
The video was clear. However, it was difficult for one to watch it due to its dark surroundings. As Natasha watched closely, she noticed the smudge on his stomach.
He must have injured himself there.
Natasha's gaze darkened by the second.
Meanwhile, the conversation continued in the group chat.
A text appeared: Are you serious? Is that really Kenneth? The rest of the colleagues carried on with their gossip.
One of the colleagues replied: Of course!
My friend patted his chest and assured me with that piece of information.
Another message popped up: Do you have any photos? I'll believe you if there's a photo as proof!
I don't have any. Someone requested to delete those photos. My friend finds it strange to see the leaked video too.
Do you know the reason of the fight?
No idea. According to the rumors, a woman tried to approach Kenneth but ended up being rejected by him. Because of that, she asked someone to beat him up to vent her anger. I think she didn't expect him to be badly beaten like that too.
Is something wrong with that woman? How could she do that to him just because she couldn't get him?
She acted as if she owns him by asking people to beat him up.
Do these people even know who are they beating?
From what I heard, they were shocked to
find out his identity afterward.
They must have a death wish for doing that! I hope they are all right.
I truly sympathize them.
Reading all the messages from the group chat, Natasha felt a little annoyed.
She put down her phone and glanced at the laptop beside her. Later, Natasha switched it on and began to type on the keyboard nimbly. In an instant, a flashing dot started to appear on the screen.
Seeing that the dot displayed was a hospital, Natasha felt relieved, and her eyes gradually turned calm. With that, she shut down her laptop. Just when she was about to get up, her phone rang.
Natasha picked up the phone and saw a text from Zachary that read: Nat, are you asleep?
She simply responded: No.
He replied: Are you free tomorrow? I wish to treat you to a meal.
Natasha pondered for a moment before replying: Okay.
I'll pick you up around noon.
She replied: Okay!
Another text from Zachary came in: You should rest earlier. Goodnight!
Natasha stopped replying. She got up and walked toward her bedroom.
Everything can be solved with a good night sleep!
Meanwhile, Fabian had been staying in the hospital for one night.
He had been thinking about how to explain his whereabouts last night to Kenneth when he woke up later.
The dark circles under his eyes were pretty obvious. Despite thinking about it for the whole night, Fabian still could not think of a justifiable excuse for himself.
I'm in deep water right now! There's nothing I can do about it!
As the sky gradually turned brighter, Fabian was tempted to just run away.
Just when that thought crossed his mind, Liam appeared at the hospital early in the morning.
Seeing him, Fabian stepped forward hastily. “Old Mr. Hamilton, why are you here?”
With a darkened expression, Liam shifted his gaze toward Fabian. “Why didn't you inform me of something that serious?”
