After giving it some thought, Anthony was worried about his own life.
He thought about a problem just when he was about to sleep.
Quickly, he stood up and switched on his computer.
Hacking into the hospital's surveillance system, he managed to identify the video footage of Kenneth fighting with Thalia by the corridor.
Initially, he wanted to delete it, but due to his curiosity, he hit the play button.
While he was not a professional, he could tell from their moves that they were professionally trained.
Doubts manifested in Anthony's mind.
Who is he? He's only the owner of a company. Why does someone want to take his life?
Anthony however couldn't figure it out despite his valiant efforts.
Further, he failed to pick up on the fact that Kenneth gave in to Thalia's beauty.
Once the video stopped playing, Anthony immediately deleted the video footage. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, in a dark room.
A tall, sturdy figure was reading the news on a computer.
It was the footage of Natasha's car accident. Though the accident was tragic and fatal, the news reported that Natasha survived with some injuries.
He balled his fist tightly.
How did she escape death?
Why?
Why?
The next second, his fingers danced across the keyboard, and he started searching for the hospital to which Natasha got admitted.
Nevertheless, it was not reported on the news, and he could not find out about anything.
Just as he wanted to slam his desktop, he saw a picture that showed the number plate of the ambulance clearly.
He squinted his eyes in an attempt to decipher the letters.
Then, a sneer grew on his face.
This time, he was determined to kill her.
And he would do it himself!
The next day, Kenneth's phone rang early in the morning.
As Natasha was sound asleep on the hospital bed, Kenneth immediately headed outside.
In the corridor, Kenneth picked up the phone and answered, “Hello, who is this?”
“Kenneth, it's me, Mrs. Jarman,” A familiar voice replied.
Kenneth's eyes formed a narrow line. “Mrs.
Jarman, how can I help you?” “Kenneth, are you with Thea?” Caroline popped the question.
Kenneth knitted his eyebrow and said, “Nope.”
“Then, did you manage to get in contact with her? I couldn't reach her since yesterday,” Caroline uttered.
“Is she not at home?”
“I don't know. I tried looking for her at home, but no one answered the door. I'm not sure what to do. Her father is going to be discharged from the hospital today but I couldn't reach her. She's not always like that. Do you think something bad happened to her?” Caroline asked worriedly.
Kenneth immediately recalled what Thea told him the other night, which he forgot because of Natasha's incident.
“That day, she said that she wanted to speak to you about something. After that, I couldn't contact her anymore. I thought the two of you are together. I'm so worried.
Something bad must have happened to her!” Caroline descended into a state of panic.
Kenneth took a peek into the ward and said hesitantly, “Mrs. Jarman, calm down. I'll go look for her. If I have any news, I will notify you promptly.”
“All right. Thank you so much!”
Kenneth hung up afterward.
When he returned to the ward, Natasha was already sitting up straight on her hospital bed.
“You're awake?” Kenneth asked.
Natasha flashed her a disgruntled look as if she woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
