Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 309

Inside the hospital, Thea sat on the bed, staring blankly into space. Her face was so pale there wasn't any color left on it.

Caroline was both worried and anxious when she saw Thea's condition. “Thea, what happened? How did you end up being trapped in the river?”

Thea remained silent, her face blank.

“Say something!” Caroline urged in desperation.

Nonetheless, Thea continued to keep mum and just sat there in a daze.

Just when Caroline was feeling helpless, she heard a knock on the door.

After opening it, she was shocked to see who it was. “M-Mr. Hamilton?”

It was only when Thea heard her mother's words that she raised her gaze to look at the door.

Caroline was overjoyed at the sight of Kenneth. “Mr. Hamilton, are you here to see Thea?” As she spoke, she turned to the figure sitting on the bed. “Thea, look who's here to visit you.”

Thea stared intently at the entrance, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“Mr. Hamilton, please come in,” Caroline invited.

Kenneth gave her a look before stepping into the ward.

“Mr. Hamilton—’’Just when Caroline was about to say something, Fabian cut her off. “Mdm. Mason, Mr. Hamilton wants to speak to Ms. Jarman in private.”

The surprised Caroline scrutinized Kenneth before turning around to give Thea a look. Even though she was oblivious to his intentions, she knew that men were naturally inclined to covet something which they didn't possess. Therefore, the last woman standing definitely had to be someone who could tolerate such behavior.

As it was understandable for extraordinary men to attract women of the same caliber, Caroline didn't mind at all. All that mattered to her was that her daughter occupied the most important position.

With that thought in mind, Caroline nodded. “Fine.” She then turned toward Thea. “Darling, I'm going out to get you something to eat and will be back soon.”

Thea continued to stay silent.

Caroline, after acknowledging Kenneth with a look, turned around and left.

Subsequently, Fabian, too, walked out and closed the door behind him, leaving Kenneth and Thea alone in the room.

As she stared at Kenneth, her listless gaze finally showed a gentle ripple.

She was cognizant that Kenneth wasn't just there to show his concern.

After all, she had tried to harm his daughter.

It was just that the sight of him still triggered fantasies in her mind.

“Kenneth.” With her eyes fixed on him, Thea forced a smile. “It's been a while.”

With an aloof look in his eyes, Kenneth stared at her with a piercing gaze.

While walking up to her, he remarked in a solemn tone, “Thea, I'm sure you know I'm not here for idle chit-chat.”

Thea's expression froze. “Kenneth, have we reached the stage where you don't even bother to pretend to be cordial?”

Kenneth retorted, “Is that necessary?”

Tears began to gather swiftly in Thea's eyes. “Kenneth, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I really had no intention of killing your daughter. I just wanted to teach her a lesson—”

“Lesson?” Kenneth's eyes burned with rage when he heard her. “I can't even bring myself to reprimand her, and yet, you think it's your place to teach her a lesson?”

“It was she who spoke rudely to me first.”

Kenneth’s eyes darkened. “Why doesn't she do that with anyone else?” I—" “Thea, it's not like I have just gotten to know you,” Kenneth remarked.
