Watching Anthony's expression as he strategized, Thalia couldn't help but furrow her brows.
He looked strikingly similar to Kenneth, as if they were the epitome of resemblance.
As Thalia watched him, she furrowed her eyebrows unhappily as if somewhat displeased.
Anthony noticed her expression and raised his eyebrows slightly. “What does that look of yours mean?”
Thalia wasn't afraid of offending him and spoke bluntly, “Tell me. You're a nice kid, but why did you have to resemble Kenneth of all people? You're so annoying!”
Anthony asked, “How does that me make me annoying?”
“Don't you think so? You're so irritating!” Thalia exclaimed.
As for the grudge between Thalia and Kenneth, Anthony didn't say much about it. It wasn't the first time they couldn't get along well, so it was normal for them to dislike each other.
Anthony narrowed his eyes, casting her a languid gaze. “So, who do you think I should resemble?”
“Of course it's Nat. People always say, daughters take after their fathers, and sons take after their mothers. Somehow, you're an exception. How come you didn't take after even a tiny fraction of Nat's beauty and temperament?” Thalia couldn't help but say.
Upon hearing this, Anthony looked at Thalia and asked, “How am I not like her? Didn't I take her skill?”
After hearing that, Thalia exclaimed, “If you could just swap them, you wouldn't be so annoying to me!”
Anthony replied, “If I take after Daddy's skills and personality, there's a high chance that we wouldn't be friends when we met, but enemies instead!”
“Why?”
“Because I would drive you crazy.”
“You're doing that now,” Thalia said.
Upon hearing that, Anthony slightly raised his eyebrows. “Well, that's not my problem then.”
“Do you mean it's my problem?”
“I didn't say that, though.”
“Isn't that what you mean?”
As the two people were engaged in a heated argument, they suddenly heard a shout.
“Come on!”
Thalia and Anthony were startled and turned their heads to look at Miguel. At this moment, they saw him leaning against the chair, fast asleep. The loud shout they had just heard was him sleep-talking.
Thalia turned her head and glanced at Anthony. “What's wrong with him?”
Anthony couldn't help but smile. “He's probably leveling up in his dreams!”
“Look at how anxious he is.” Thalia shook her head helplessly.
Anthony didn't say anything more. His gaze shifted toward the window.
Meanwhile, at the doorway of the hospital, Denise and Benjamin looked at each other because they had never done such a thing before.
“How about you go first, Ben?” Denise asked.
“You look adorable. You should go first.”
Denise was at a loss for words. “I... Ben, your compliment seems a bit deliberate.”
“I'm serious,” Benjamin said.
“But I've never done something like this before.”
“I don't either!”
“Well...”
“Just treat it like acting, and the person inside is the one you're performing for,” Benjamin said.
Upon hearing this, Denise was slightly taken aback. She thought for a moment and tried to imagine it. After a while, she looked at Benjamin and said, “That actually works.”
Upon hearing this, Benjamin immediately curled his lips and said, “Well, in that case, please go ahead.”
Denise took a deep breath. “Watch me. I'm going in!”
So, Denise took the lead and was just about to knock on the door when suddenly, it opened from the inside. A nurse stood there.
Denise looked up and saw the person in front of her, then revealed a smile.
