Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 850

Miguel was still devastated as he slumped on the table, bearing a striking resemblance to a child who had been bullied, evoking a sense of pity and feeling aggrieved.

Anthony looked at him and sighed exasperatedly. He then walked over to Miguel.

He was not good at comforting people, so after thinking for a moment, Anthony finally reached out and gently patted Miguel's head. “It's okay. It's natural for people's minds to be filled with perplexities at times like this. It's not your fault.

Miguel was at a loss for words upon hearing that. Is this kind of consolation still considered comforting?

He looked up at Anthony and muttered, “Master, your words are somewhat soul-crushing.”

“Although the truth may be somewhat hurtful, recognizing it sooner rather than later is a form of self-awareness!” Anthony commented.

“Master...”

“However, there's a saying, right? Diligence can make up for incompetence,” Anthony added.

Miguel looked at him again. “How do I make up for it?”

“With me here, what do you have to worry about?” Anthony asked.

“So, there is a way?”

“It's still possible to surpass Benjamin!”

“What about the third one then?” Miguel asked.

Anthony furrowed his brows as he looked at him. “Miguel, as I said before, don't set your goals too far ahead, or you might give up easily.”

“Just tell me directly if it's impossible,” Miguel responded as he hung his head low. How could he not grasp the underlying meaning of Anthony's words?

“No way!”

Miguel reluctantly answered, “Master, you're being too blunt, aren't you?”

“Fine. It's not like there's no chance. I've never dealt with the third one before. Let me study and analyze it first before we decide,” said Anthony.

Miguel's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing those words, and he could not contain his excitement. “Are you saying you're willing to help me?”

“I'll give it a try.”

“You're the best, Master!” Miguel exclaimed, his face beaming with delight as he looked at Anthony.

“Empty flattery won't get you anywhere. Now, I'm giving you five minutes to freshen up, followed by another five minutes to grab a bite. In ten minutes, we'll be heading out.”

“Right away!” After saying that, Miguel dashed toward his room without delay.

As he looked at Miguel's figure, Anthony sighed and averted his gaze. He then made his way toward the dining table.

The three of them watched him as they ate. Then, Denise commented, “Tony, you're taking this seriously, huh?”

“What do you mean?” Anthony sat down and took a bite of his bread.

“I'm talking about Miguel. I used to think you were forced to take him as your apprentice without putting much effort into it. But now it seems you're genuinely invested,” Denise remarked teasingly.

Anthony declared with conviction, “Whether it was a forced or willing acceptance, once someone becomes my apprentice, I will teach them wholeheartedly.”

“But if you succeed in teaching him, he'll surpass Ben,” Denise commented, raising her eyebrows after hearing what he said.

Benjamin spoke up on that matter, “First of all, let me clarify that I'm not concerned about it. I'm indifferent.”

Witnessing Benjamin's reaction, Anthony raised his eyebrows and remarked with a hint of amusement, “See? Someone doesn't care.”

“Ben, you're quite quick to hit me where it hurts!” Denise complained while shaking her head helplessly.

Benjamin responded, “Well, you've known that from the start. Your remarks are nothing but an attempt to jest at Tony. Keep your battles between yourselves. Please don't drag me into it. Only with sincerity we can come to an agreement.”

Denise was rendered speechless.

Realizing that the argument had not escalated, Denise sulkily gave up.

In no time, Miguel finished tidying up and emerged from the room. He quickly freshened up, changed his clothes, and in an instant, he underwent a transformation. He was now exuding the energy of a spirited young man.

Miguel appeared promptly and sat down to have his breakfast.

While eating, he inquired, “Master, where are we going next?”

“The hospital,” Anthony replied.
