You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 299

Over at the hospital, Benjamin was wheeled into the emergency room.

It was a case of when it rains, it pours.

Natasha sat on a bench by the door in silence. Although she appeared completely fine, her trembling hands betrayed her.

Seeing that, Kenneth walked over and sat next to her. Then he placed his hand over her slightly quivering ones.

She looked up at him.

“Benjamin will be fine,” he said.

Gazing at him, she smiled. “Mm, I know.”

At that moment, Denise turned to Anthony with reddened eyes and

asked, “Tony, Ben will be okay, right?”

Anthony returned to his senses and glanced at her before replying, “Of course. He's strong, so he's definitely going to be fine!”

Denise seemed to gain a renewed sense of hope upon hearing that. She fixed her eyes on the doors to the emergency room and prayed silently. You have to be okay, Ben...

Just then, the doors opened, and the doctor walked out.

They sprang to their feet immediately when they saw the doctor.

“Doctor, how's my son?” Kenneth enquired at once.

The doctor took off her surgical mask as she gazed at Kenneth. “The child's left arm was found to be fractured.

After checking his left arm, I noticed several abrasions. By the looks of how the injuries are healing, he must've sustained them a few days ago. He's in shock now. If he'd been brought in any later, he would have been in critical condition.”

Kenneth's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Then, he looked at the doctor and echoed questioningly, “Fractured?”

“That's right. It looks like it happened at least two or three days ago. I've no idea how the child managed to endure that, but you don't have to worry. Fortunately, he got sent to the hospital in time and should be okay,” the doctor replied.

Despite not knowing what had happened, Kenneth was relieved to hear that Benjamin was not in any danger.

“Okay. Thank you very much.”

“Don't mention it, Mr. Hamilton. If there's anything, feel free to let me know,” the doctor responded.

Kenneth nodded. Then, the doctor put her mask back on and turned to go back into the emergency room.

“Fractured...” Anthony murmured as he gazed at Natasha.

Natasha also glanced at him. It was evident that something had occurred to both of them.

I was so preoccupied with Denise over the past couple of days that I had completely forgotten about Benjamin's fall...

When Kenneth turned to look at Natasha, she turned away immediately.

He could tell that she was filled with remorse.

Then, he turned toward Anthony, who said, “During our search for Denise at the foot of the mountain, we were coming out of a cave when Benjamin accidentally fell... It must've been then, but he never said anything. We didn't think much of it because we were in a panic searching for Denise. I didn't think it would turn out like this...”

As the boy spoke, he was also racked with guilt.

After finding Denise, we should've gotten a doctor to do a thorough checkup on Benjamin. However, it slipped our minds. I even had Benjamin running around with me, looking for that man. A fracture... How did Benjamin endure that?

While lost in his thoughts, Denise started crying softly. “No wonder Ben was still worrying about me when he was unconscious. It turns out that it's

all because of me...”

Kenneth was at a loss for words as he listened to Denise's sobs. All he could do was reach out a hand to stroke her head and take her in his arms.

Holding onto him, Denise wept even more bitterly.
