“Ms. Watson, you don't know how hackers are. Shadow Seeker really is like a god in the world of hackers. You can even call her omnipotent. If she wants to, she can easily hack into a company, a corporation, or even a nation within minutes! I'm not exaggerating! ” Fabian continued to praise Shadow Seeker. His eyes shone fanatically as though he had seen it happen with his own eyes.
Natasha was at a loss for words.
She should be happy that someone had so much confidence in her and would defend her.
Staring at Fabian, Natasha could only maintain a polite smile.
“Never mind. You won't understand!”
Fabian sighed dejectedly.
His words rendered Natasha speechless.
“What won't she understand?” Just then, Kenneth's voice rang out from behind them, startling Fabian. Subconsciously, he hid behind Natasha.
“M-Mr. Hamilton, when did you get here?”
Upon seeing his reaction, Kenneth frowned.
“What's the matter? Am I not welcomed here?”
“N-No, t-that's not what I—”
“What are you hiding?”
“N-Nothing!” Fabian quickly tossed a look at Natasha, begging her not to reveal anything.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Nothing?” His voice turned hoarse as he pressed on.
Kenneth knew Fabian inside and out. From the way Fabian was acting, Kenneth had no doubt that Fabian was hiding something.
Seeing Kenneth marching over to Fabian, Natasha spoke up. “It's me. I asked him how he injured his arm.”
Kenneth halted in his tracks. It was obvious that Natasha was covering for Fabian.
He rolled his eyes, quickly figuring out what was going on.
Natasha changed the subject and informed him, “Grandpa and Old Mr. Hamilton are here. They're inside.”
Kenneth looked toward the door of the ward.
“Old Mr. Hamilton seems livid,” warned Natasha.
Solemnity flickered across Kenneth's handsome face. “I know. I figured.” With that, he pushed the door open and entered the ward.
At the sight of Kenneth entering the ward, Fabian heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thanks for saving my life, Ms. Watson,” whispered Fabian.
“You're welcome!”
Natasha went into the ward after Kenneth with Fabian tailing behind her.
Inside the ward, Denise managed to reassure the two elders and comfort them.
However, the moment Kenneth appeared, Liam could not get a hold of his wrath and started lashing out at Kenneth.
“Where have you been?”
Before Kenneth could answer, Liam continued, “Why didn't you tell me when such a big thing happened? Do you still see me as your grandfather?”
Kenneth remained silent.
“I'm telling you, this is not the end!
You're the one who provoked that woman. Tell me, are you going to deal with her yourself, or should I?”
Denise's heart clenched in pain when she took in the scene. “Great-grandpa, you said you wouldn't blame Daddy!”
Liam's anger quickly subsided. “I-I'm not blaming him. I'm just stating facts!” “Then you shouldn't scold Daddy!”
“All right, all right, all right! I won't scold him!”
Liam could not find anything to say to Kenneth any longer. In the end, he could only glare at him with his lips pressed into a thin line.
Just then, Kenneth broke the silence. “Don't worry, Grandpa. I will sort this out!”
“You said it yourself! If you can't do it, don't blame me if I do it myself!” Liam huffed.
