Chapter 130
As Liam spoke, his voice trembled.
Other than feeling surprised, he was also delighted. Yet, he also didn’t dare believe his good
fortune.
I-Is this possible? I’m already ecstatic about having two great-grandchildren, but there’s still a third
one? I-Is he a child of the Hamilton family?
He wanted to doubt it, but Anthony’s face dispelled all his doubts.
Anthony didn’t say anything, alternating his gaze between Liam and Natasha.
Can I speak the truth? But judging from their expressions, they seem to know everything already.
“Nat…” In the end, he turned to Natasha, seeking her consent.
In response, Natasha nodded at him.
Now that things have come to this, keeping it a secret is of no use anymore.
Anthony deliberated for a while before beaming at Liam. “Nice to meet you, Great-grandpa. I’m
Anthony Watson, older brother to Benjamin and Denise Watson.”
As soon as his words rang out, Liam grew emotional to the point of tears.
“Y-You’re really a child of the Hamilton family!” Excited beyond words, he switched his gaze
between Kenneth and Natasha. Then, he bent his aged body and studied Anthony’s face, gushing,
“I’m about to burst with pride! How could I possibly have three adorable great-grandchildren? At
long last, the Hamilton family has more descendants!”
At the side, however, Thalia was at an utter loss.
What’s this about Anthony and Benjamin? I don’t get it.
Despite that, she could understand Liam’s remark.
Anthony is Kenneth’s son? The biological kind? Whoa!
That piece of information blew her mind.
Right then, Anthony remained as thoughtful and courteous as ever while he regarded Liam. “Do
you feel better now, Great-grandpa? And have you been taking your medicine on time?”
The instant Liam heard that, his eyes turned red-rimmed. On the one hand, he felt guilty toward
Anthony, but on the other, he found the boy all too sensible.
Even now, he’s still thinking about my health! He’s far more thoughtful than that brat, Kenneth!
How exactly did Natasha educate them that they’re all so understanding? I love them so much!
“Yes, of course! I’ve been taking my medicine properly, and I’ve about finished the sweets you
gave me!” he gushed emotionally.
“It’s okay. There’s still a lot at home, so I’ll give you more when you’ve finished them. However, you
must take your medicine properly,” Anthony urged.
Liam nodded profusely. “Sure, sure! I’ll listen to you, so everything you say goes!”
Anthony flashed him a smile in return.
Meanwhile, Kenneth took it all in from the side.
While he was delighted upon seeing the two children previously, he was now shocked to see
Anthony.
Besides, an indescribable feeling brewed within him.
A sense of guilt toward the children and Natasha surged to the forefront.
He had no idea how the woman raised three children alone, but he knew that it must have been
difficult.
If I hadn’t done so back then and tried to understand her, would things have ended differently?
However, he was all too aware that there was no way of turning back time.
The only thing he could do at present was to make it up to them doubly.
At that exact moment, the hospital room door was pushed open once again.
Terence rushed in, and his eyes searched for Natasha right after he entered the room.
When he spotted her, he immediately hurried over. “Are you okay, Nat? You’re not hurt anywhere,
are you?”
Seeing that he was so frantic that his eyes were red-rimmed, Natasha grew teary as well. She
shook her head and replied, “I’m fine, Grandpa!”
“How… How did such a thing happen? I’m never going to leave your side anymore!” Terence
exclaimed.
“This was just an accident, Grandpa. It won’t happen again,” Natasha assured. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nonetheless, Terence was still stricken with fear. “I’m really useless that I only learned about this
now. I even failed to protect you!” His voice was filled with recrimination.
“Grandpa…”
Natasha didn’t know what to say, but she inwardly vowed to never have her grandfather worry
about her again.
Upon seeing that Terence had shed tears, Liam was promptly distressed as well.
As someone who only had a single grandchild, he understood the man’s feelings all too well.
He walked up to Terence and patted him on the shoulder. “Okay, that’s enough, Terence. Isn’t Nat
fine and dandy now? Don’t worry anymore.”
At that, Terence’s temper spiked. “What do you know? Your grandson is a boy, so he grew up with
everyone doting on him. Conversely, Nat has been looked down upon since young. If something
were to happen to her now that she has finally grown up, how am I to continue living?”
Hearing that, Liam continued mollifying him. “Yes, of course, you’re absolutely right. In the future,
Nat will be the apple of our eyes, and we shall protect her together, okay?”
Aware that the man was consoling him, Terence shot him a glare. “Hah! Who wants that? The
Hamilton family merely talks big but never does anything. I’ll be overjoyed as long as you people
stay far away from us!”
Speaking of that, Liam grew incensed instead.
“I disagree with that, Terence! Kenneth was undeniably quite a scumbag previously, but he has
grown up somewhat after all these years. When Nat was in danger yesterday, he was also there.
In a bid to protect her, he’s now lying on the hospital bed here, but you don’t see me crying!” While
saying that, he swung his gaze at the man lying on the hospital bed.
Terence was momentarily taken aback.
Only then did he notice Kenneth, who was lying on the hospital bed.
His upper body was bare, with a bandage circling his abdomen and shoulder several times. That
aside, there were even faint traces of blood seeping out.
All that was notwithstanding the minor injuries littering his body.
On the whole, he did appear rather pathetic.
Stunned, Terence turned to Natasha. “Was Liam speaking the truth?”
Unable to deny it, Natasha nodded in affirmation.
At once, words eluded Terence.
When Liam saw that the man had gone silent, he knew that remorse had set in and felt that he had
gained the upper hand then. Clearing his throat, he declared, “Oh well, you don’t have to worry too
much. A man should be bold and courageous, protecting his wife… and children. He merely
executed his responsibilities.”
Listening to that lecture at the side, Terence frowned. “Shoo, you. Go away.”
Liam burst out laughing.
Subsequently, Terence looked at Kenneth. He was a person who drew a clear distinction between
right and wrong.
Indeed, Kenneth had hurt Natasha, so Terence was naturally greatly prejudiced against the man.
However, he was also sincerely grateful that the man had protected Natasha at the risk of his life.
Going over to Kenneth, he regarded the man with a somewhat awkward gaze. “No matter what,
thank you for protecting Nat. I owe you one.”
Immediately, Kenneth replied humbly, “Don’t worry about it, Old Mr. Watson. Saving her was
instinctual. You don’t owe me either because it’s me who owes her. I owe her and the children so
much that I probably can’t finish repaying them in this lifetime!”
All of a sudden, he didn’t seem all that hateful.
At the very least, his words were pleasing to the ears.
