Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 300

Early the following morning, Benjamin's physical condition was still progressing well, and his fever had subsided after a night's sleep.

Natasha had stayed up the night before looking after Denise, then the previous night watching over Benjamin. Hence, her eyes were bloodshot from barely getting any sleep. It was only after the doctor declared that Benjamin's fever had gone down and he was doing fine that she felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders. As she continued tending to Benjamin, she decided to take a short nap. However, she ended up falling into a deep slumber.

Kenneth had also stayed up, and his heart ached when he saw her go without rest. Nonetheless, he knew that even if he tried to persuade her to rest, she would not listen to him. Hence, he waited until she had dozed off before going over and picking her up in his arms.

Anthony, who was asleep on the couch, woke up just as Kenneth was about to leave.

Their eyes met. Looking at him, Kenneth instructed in a low voice, “Take care of Benjamin. I'm taking Mommy to the room next door to get some rest.”

Anthony nodded. “Okay.”

Only then did Kenneth carry Natasha out of the ward.

He had just left when Denise opened her eyes. After looking around sleepily, she asked, “Where's Daddy and Mommy?”

“Daddy took Mommy next door to rest,” Anthony said.

Denise nodded at that. Then she appeared to think of something. Glancing toward Benjamin on the hospital bed, she walked over there immediately.

She touched Benjamin's forehead with her hand, then exclaimed excitedly, “Ben's forehead isn't hot anymore!

Anthony also went over. As he gazed at Benjamin, who was still sound asleep, there were many mixed emotions within him he could not express.

Benjamin had always behaved as if everything was fine, so it was true that Anthony usually did not bother much about him. But after what happened, Anthony could not help blaming himself a little. I should've paid more attention to him. Even if his injury wasn't serious, I should've gotten a doctor to check on him. Instead, I ignored him...

“Denise.”

“Hmm?”

“He really dotes on you,” said Anthony.

Upon hearing that, Denise shifted her gaze to Benjamin and nodded solemnly. “Mm, I know.”

“That's why you have to be nicer to him.”

“You make it sound as though I don't treat him well,” Denise replied indignantly.

Anthony laughed. “You can do even better in the future!” “Okay,” Denise responded.

While they were talking, the sky turned lighter as the sun rose in the east.

Benjamin also happened to wake up then. After regaining consciousness, he was afraid that Natasha would be angry. Hence, even though he had woken up, he only cracked open his eyes slightly and scanned his surroundings to survey the situation.

Although Anthony and Denise were chatting, they noticed what Benjamin was doing and exchanged glances.

Anthony feigned a cough and asked, “Are you awake?”

Benjamin squeezed his eyes shut immediately, pretending he was still fast asleep.

“That's enough. You don’t have to pretend. Nat and Daddy aren't here,” said Anthony.

Benjamin remained unmoving.

“You're still pretending, are you? Very well. Denise, go and tell Nat that Benjamin is awake,” Anthony instructed.

“Okay!” Denise answered, playing along and acting as though she was about to leave the room.

Hearing that, Benjamin opened his eyes at once. “Denise!”

She turned back and looked at him with a grin. “Are you done pretending?”

Benjamin sighed helplessly and asked, “Is this how you treat a patient?”

While Benjamin was speaking, Anthony had already raised the head of the hospital bed so that the former could sit comfortably.

Denise fixed her gaze on him and retorted, “You're one to talk. Why didn't you say anything when something so serious happened? You gave us all such a fright!”
