Chapter 31 The Kids Stir Trouble
Benjamin replied: You heard it right. I heard the same thing, too. That should be it.
Anthony didn’t say a word.
The other two cued him: Why aren’t you talking?
Anthony: I was thinking we could visit him tomorrow.
His reply rendered them speechless.
Benjamin: You love dropping bombshells, huh?
Anthony: Will you come with me or not?
Benjamin: Yes.
Denise: Yes.
There was no way they’d say no to his invitation, for they loved to be where the fun was.
Anthony: We need to make sure which hospital he has been admitted to. Mommy’s home, so I dare not check online.
Denise replied confidently: This is easy. Leave it to me! She would get the information by acting cute.
Anthony: Okay. We’ll meet after school tomorrow.
Benjamin: Okay.
Denise: Okay.
The next day, Denise woke up earlier than usual. Terence was busy in the kitchen, so she went to him and stretched her hands out so he could hold her.
“Lazy bug, why are you up early today?” Terence asked cheerfully.
Denise was salivating at the sight of the bubbling soup on the stove. “I smelled your cooking, Gramps. What is this? It smells delicious!”
“Soup. Want some?”
“Yes!” Denise nodded vigorously.
“What a greedy little kitten. I’ll leave you some later,” Terence replied with a chuckle.
“Thanks, Gramps!” Denise asked, “But why are you cooking soup early in the morning?”
“My friend is ill, so I’m going to visit him at the hospital later,” Terence explained.
“Is he seriously ill?” Denise blinked innocently.
“No,” Terence assured her as a smile played on his lips.
“Oh. Which hospital is he in?” Denise asked.
“Goldbirch Hospital.” Terence didn’t think much and gave her an answer quickly.
Denise nodded thoughtfully. “All right, then. Gramps, take care of your health, too!”
“Good girl. Don’t worry, for I’ll take good care of myself,” Terence responded.
“I’ll go wash up now.” Denise pretended to yawn and trotted back to her room slowly.
Terence gazed at her back adoringly. He had no idea that the innocent-looking young girl had just fished some information out of him.
Back in her room, Denise slammed the door shut. Her eyes were clear as she sent a text in the group chat: Goldbirch Hospital.
As no one replied to her text, Denise huffed and sent another text: I got up early to be a spy, but you’re still sleeping! She then proceeded to tag them both.
Benjamin’s reply came: You’re good at this. Good job! Will that do?
Anthony: Good job, Denise.
Denise beamed happily after getting their praises. As it was still early, she returned to her bed and resumed sleeping.
When Natasha got up, the house was empty. She got her phone and saw a text from Terence. After sending the kids to school, Terence went straight to the hospital.
Natasha went to the dining table and ate her breakfast. She then cleared the table before heading to work.
Upon arrival, she spotted Thea and Mark walking out of the office.
