Coming out of the detention center, Fabian turned to glance at Kenneth.
“Mr. Hamilton, I don’t think Gaston is lying. Maybe this doesn’t have anything to do with him.”
Kenneth furrowed his brows tightly. If there isn’t any grudge, there’s no way that a person can hate someone else that much. If it’s true that Gaston isn’t the one behind this, then I must’ve missed out on something. But Gaston is our only target at the moment.
“Fabian, look into Gaston’s family background and social connections. The more detailed, the better.”
Fabian nodded. “Okay. I’ll look into it once I get back.”
“Also, send those two surveillance footages to the police.”
Fabian nodded again. “Understood. Mr. Hamilton, do you think that we should get a few people to protect Ms. Watson at the hospital? The person who wants to hurt her feels like a time bomb to me. We have no idea when they’ll show up again.”
“Do you think that person will dare to show up if he sees such a huge scene?” Kenneth asked, raising his brows.
“Then…”
“I’ll watch over her myself at the hospital. You should just do what I asked you to do.” Kenneth was not comfortable leaving Natasha in the care of others.
Seeing that Kenneth had got up to leave, Fabian followed after him. “Mr. Hamilton, w-what about the company?”
“You should go back first.”
“Aren’t you going back? If you don’t go back, the shareholders are going to yell at me.” Fabian had an aggrieved look on his face as he watched Kenneth get into the car. “Mr. Hamilton, why don’t you take me with you? I don’t want to face those shareholders anymore…”
Kenneth rolled down the window and looked at him. “If anyone dares to cause a ruckus, buy his share.”
Fabian’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “W-What is the upper limit?”
“That depends on your ability.”
As if he had obtained an insignia of royalty, the frown on Fabian’s face changed into a smug look. “Don’t worry, Mr. Hamilton. Leave the matters in the company to me. You can focus on taking care of Ms. Watson. I won’t let the shareholders bother you.”
Kenneth nodded. He rolled up the window and sped off.
There was a little whirlwind from where he drove off.
Fabian looked around him. The area was quite deserted, and there wasn’t a single taxi in sight.
Right when the realization hit him, he quickly ran after Kenneth’s car. “Wait for me, Mr. Hamilton! I can’t get a taxi here! Please, at least give me a little ride to—”
Before Kenneth went to the hospital, he took a short trip back to the Hamilton residence.
Right when he walked in, he noticed that construction workers were walking in and out of the mansion.
With a frown, he walked further inside.
Liam was looking at a blueprint and discussing something with Dan in the living room.
“Grandpa, what’s going on?” Kenneth asked.
Liam lifted his head, and after glancing at Kenneth, he ignored him and continued looking at the blueprint. “Will it be better if we add another table here?”
Dan, on the other hand, looked at Kenneth and said politely, “Mr. Kenneth, you’re back!”
“What is Grandpa doing?” Kenneth asked.
Dan smiled. “Old Mr. Hamilton plans to renovate the two rooms upstairs for Ms. Denise and Mr. Benjamin.”
Kenneth was at a loss for words.
He could tell that Liam liked Denise and Benjamin very much.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have decided on renovating the rooms after Denise and Benjamin stayed for one night.
Kenneth asked, “Are you sure that Natasha will let you bring them back again?”
It would have been better if Kenneth hadn’t brought that up because Liam flew off the handle upon hearing that. “Whose fault do you think it is? Kenneth, I’m not forcing you to get married or have children, but you’d better not piss Nat off! If she doesn’t let me see Denise and Benjamin, I’ll sever all ties with you!”
“Do you think you still need to force me to have children? Isn’t two enough?”
“They have nothing to do with you!”
“Then, you’re truly a man with a big heart that you’d treat someone else’s children so well.”
“Mind your own business!”
At that moment, Kenneth walked toward Liam and took the blueprint from Liam’s hands. He looked at it briefly and saw that one of the rooms was filled with princess decorations, while the other was filled with technologies.
Every corner seemed to be designed meticulously. There were all kinds of toys in the rooms that made them look luxurious. Other than that, they were designed with love. Kenneth could tell that Liam wanted to give the best of everything to Denise and Benjamin.
Kenneth smiled. Seeing that, Liam quickly took the blueprint back. “Off you go. Stop getting in my way.”
“The rooms are lovely. They’ll definitely love it,” Kenneth said before he turned to walk upstairs.
“W-Wait,” Liam suddenly called out, remembering something.
Kenneth turned to look at Liam. “Is there anything else?”
“You and Th—You know, that lady.” Liam couldn’t recall Thea’s name. “What is your relationship with her?”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “There’s nothing going on between us. I told you before that we’re just friends.”
Strangely, Liam let out a breath of relief. “You should tell her clearly if you’re not interested in her. Don’t give her false hope!”
“I did.”
“Y-You did?”
“Yes. I’ve made myself very clear.”
“Then—”
“Grandpa, I know what you want to ask me. Give me some time. I’ll talk to Natasha when the time comes.”
Liam looked at Kenneth and hesitated for a long while before finally nodding. “Okay. I’ll leave it to you. Just… do what you want.”
Relationships are complicated. Kenneth and Nat end up like this because of my wishful thinking in the past. Anyway, what happens next depends on them.
Kenneth nodded and walked upstairs.
When Dan saw that, he quickly said, “Mr. Kenneth, Old Mr. Hamilton has moved all your things to the outermost room. Everything is all piled up. We still haven’t got the time to tidy the place…”
The moment Kenneth walked in, he noticed that the room was a mess. All his clothes and items were piled up together, and there was not even a place where he could stand.
His handsome face contorted a little.
He could imagine that when Denise and Benjamin moved in, he might not even have a place to stay.
But even if that was the case, when he thought about the two of them, he flashed a smile that had never appeared on his face before.
After changing his clothes, Kenneth went straight to the hospital.
When he arrived, it was almost nightfall.
On the way to the hospital, Denise had sent him a voice message on WhatsApp: “Mr. Handsome, Great-grandpa brought us back. Nat is all alone in her ward. Will you help me watch over Nat tonight?”
At first, he was listening to Denise’s sweet voice, but when he heard that Natasha was all alone in the ward, his chest tightened, and he quickened his pace.
When he reached the door of Natasha’s ward, he heard some people speaking inside.
He felt as if something had hit his chest and pushed the door open straight away.
