Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Dropping The Act

Suddenly, Kenneth turned to Fabian and asked, “I told you to look into Natasha. What did you find out about her?”

Fabian was stumped by the sudden change in the tone of the conversation.

He looked at Kenneth and solemnly said, “I swear I did a thorough investigation on Ms. Watson, Mr. Hamilton. I left no stones unturned, but there was no evidence of the existence of the kids! It seems like someone deliberately made an effort to hide some information.”

Kenneth felt the same way. He felt that Natasha selectively revealed whatever information that fitted into the image she wanted to present to other people. It was a very suspicious move on her part.

Just as he was about to give that matter more thought, Terence came out of the room with Denise and Benjamin.

Kenneth whispered to Fabian and said, “Mind what you say in front of Old Mr. Watson. Don’t make him worry.”

“Noted,” Fabian softly replied.

Kenneth watched as Terence told the kids, “Go in and take a look at your mommy. I’ll send you to school after that.”

Denise and Benjamin nodded and went into the ward.

Kenneth went up to Terence and said, “You did not sleep a wink last night and may not be in the best condition to drive. Let Fabian go with you. He can drive you and the kids to school.”

Fabian put on a big smile and greeted Terence when the latter looked toward him. “Hello, Old Mr. Watson.”

Now that Natasha ended up in the hospital because of a car accident, Terence did not want to argue with Kenneth, so he begrudgingly agreed to Kenneth’s proposal.

After entering the ward, Denise and Benjamin went straight up to Natasha’s bedside. Before the two kids could show their concern, Natasha opened her eyes.

“Nat!” Denise shouted out excitedly.

Natasha motioned her to hush, and the latter obligingly contained her excitement and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Nat, you are awake!”

“Yup.” Natasha nodded and continued, “But we have to lower our voice so the monster outside won’t come running in.”

“So, you have been pretending to be unconscious?” Denise asked.

“Is it that obvious?” Natasha wondered out loud.

“We were so worried about you, yet you were putting on an act…” Denise was aggrieved.

“Nat wasn’t trying to deceive you,” Benjamin explained.

After he spoke, Natasha realized something was amiss and asked, “Why is it only the two of you? Where is Anthony?”

“Um…” Denise was at a loss for words as she was stumped by her mother’s question.

Benjamin laughingly replied, “Tony has to attend to something. He will come by to visit you later.”

Natasha gave them a doubtful look. Anthony was the most caring of the three kids, so it was highly unusual for him to not join them in their visit to see her.

However, she did not dwell on that, as she had more pressing concerns. She looked them straight in the eye and said, “I have no idea how you got to know Kenneth, but I will find out from you later after I get home. For now, both of you have to mind what you say, and please do not speak to him unnecessarily. Do you get me?”

The two kids could tell from her tone that she was dead serious, so they quietly exchanged a puzzled look, then obediently nodded their heads and said, “Yes, we’ll take note.”

“Move along and get going to school then!” Natasha urged, and the two kids obediently turned around and left the room.

Terence was waiting for them outside of the room, and when he saw them, he asked, “So no more worries now that you have seen your mommy?”

The two kids exchanged wry smiles and kept quiet.

“Let’s go then,” Terence said, and the two nodded obligingly and went with him.

Before she left, Denise turned around and stole a glance at Kenneth. She found that he was also looking at her.

She had the urge to run to him for a comforting hug, but heeding Natasha’s warning, she suppressed herself and despondently turned away to leave with Terence.
