Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 999

Speaking of that, Kyle frowned unhappily. “Kenneth has always been always messing with us when he's up and about. Even when he's lying unconscious now, he's still causing trouble.”

Words eluded Thalia for a moment. “Don't let Anthony and Benjamin hear that. Otherwise, they'd get upset.”

“I wouldn't say it in front of them,” Kyle retorted.

Thalia's lips curved up slightly. “Well, you seem quite astute!”

Kyle shot her a warning glance.

Thalia ignored it outright. Then, she remembered something and looked at him. “You probably can't take them away right now, but I can bring them here to meet you. I'll arrange it.”

Kyle's brows furrowed, something seemingly to be brewing in his pair of ebony eyes.

“But...” Thalia studied him. “Have you thought about how you're going to tell Holden?”

After having joked around for a bit, Kyle had gradually calmed down. He sat on the chair with his legs crossed, looking exceedingly composed. “No.”

Hearing that, Thalia looked at him. “Why don't you just tell him directly?”

“I'm afraid he can't take it,” Kyle murmured.

“Since you can understand this matter, I think Kyle would also be able to do so. Anthony was passive. He didn't know about the grudges between Kenneth and Darknetz. I was the one who told him about it all. Besides, they've only just acknowledged each other not long ago. You can't blame this on Anthony and Benjamin,” Thalia said.

“From a bystander's perspective, we might see it that way. But for Holden... it might not necessarily be the same,” Kyle uttered.

“What should we do, then? Keep it a secret for now?” Thalia asked.

“Let me think about it. I'll find an opportunity and see whether I can tell him about this,” Kyle replied.

Thalia nodded. “I think the opportunity is now. Besides, the issue is between Holden and Kenneth in the first place. Now that Kenneth is in such a state, surely Holden wouldn't make a move against someone in a vegetative state, right?”

Kyle looked up, his gaze meeting Thalia's. “If it were... that doctor of yours who had died at Kenneth's hands, and he was now lying unconscious, would you let it go?”

“I...” Thalia wanted to answer in the affirmative, but at that moment, the picture of it had already formed in her mind.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't let it go either. Even if he's in a vegetative state, I'd need to ensure that he'd never regain consciousness personally.

Seeing that Thalia had fallen silent, Kyle added, “If even you won't let it go, how could Holden possibly do so?”

Finally, Thalia admitted, “Indeed, I won't back let things go. But what could be done about it? If it was me, I'd rather he was still up and about so we could have a fair and square duel. Whoever loses, loses. I'd accept that.”

Kyle heaved a long sigh.

“Forget it. I'm not getting involved in this anymore. I've said all that needs to be said and even what I shouldn't have said. As for the rest, it's up to you,” said Thalia.

Kyle didn't say a word.

“I'm leaving.” This time, Thalia turned around and walked away without waiting for him to say anything else.

“When will you have them both come over?” Kyle asked.

“Let's talk about it over the phone.” Thalia waving a hand without a backward glance.

Kyle didn't say anything more, merely remaining seated on the chair. Hesitation was etched across his handsome features.

No matter the many things he had encountered before, he had never been so conflicted.

That matter, however, really left him in a bit of a bind.

After Thalia had left, she started searching everywhere for Anthony's figure.

Just then, she spotted Holden's figure in a corner of the hotel. She abruptly frowned, for Anthony was also there.

The two of them were talking about something or other. Holden was all smiles, but Anthony beside him was proper and restrained.

Seeing that, she walked over.

“What are you two talking about?” Going over, she sat down right away. She crossed her legs, exuding an aura of dominance.

Holden lifted his gaze to her. “Nothing much. We're just having a casual conversation.”

Thalia turned and shifted her gaze to Anthony. He appeared to be indifferent, showing no particular reaction.

“I know you're not happy right now, but don't pull a long face at the person trying her best to cheer you up,” Thalia chided.

Anthony glanced up at her.
