Chapter 88 Unequal Treatment

Just when Kenneth was about to say something, Terence came back after dropping the kids off at

school.

The two developed a tacit agreement that they would not bring up the matter and cause Terence to

worry.

When the latter walked into the room and saw that there were only the two of them, he was rather

annoyed. He strode toward Natasha and stared at her. “How are you, Nat? Feeling any better?”

“Yup, I’m all better now, Grandpa.”

“Do you feel any discomfort? Anywhere aching on your body?” Terence was concerned.

Natasha shook her head and replied, “Just some minor abrasions. Don’t worry, Grandpa.”

“Abrasions? Oh dear, any accident can lead to a major problem! You lucked out this time. If any mishap

befalls you, what am I going to do?” Terence was fretting.

After mulling it over, Natasha said admittedly, “I didn’t think things through. Sorry, Grandpa, for making

you worry. There won’t be a next time, I promise.” Then, she flashed a coy smile at him.

At that instant, Terence’s heart softened, and he did not have the heart to reprimand her anymore.

Meanwhile, Kenneth went into a daze as he stared at Natasha.

This woman can talk about anything to anyone. Sometimes, she jokes casually. Other times, she

exudes an imposing aura. But actually, she can be all coy and playful too. Am I the only exception?

When she’s in front of me, she has her guard up as though she’s ready to enter the war with me

anytime. She makes me feel as if I owe her lots of money!

Then, Kenneth interrupted the silence. “Old Mr. Watson, I’m the one to be blamed. It’s with good Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

intentions that Grandpa gifted Nat with a car, but I wasn’t able to stop the accident from happening. My

bad.”

Nat?

Upon hearing that, Natasha lifted her head to look at him. She could not help but shudder when she

heard him addressing her dearly.

Why does it sound so creepy when he calls me that?

It turned out Natasha was not the only one who was taken aback. Terence, too, turned to look at

Kenneth with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He knew that Kenneth wanted to protect Natasha, but it was all too late now.

Had Kenneth done so many years back, Terence would not have been so angry at him.

Terence commented, “I understand the reasoning, and it’s not your fault…” After a brief pause, he

continued, “Anyway, thanks for saving Nat. I’m sure that you’re a busy man, Mr. Hamilton. It’s getting

late now, so it’s best I let you go. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Clearly, Terence implied that Kenneth should go.

Hearing so, Kenneth gazed at him, and then at Natasha.

He was aware that Terence had a prejudice against him, and there was nothing he could say at that

moment to make Terence think otherwise. However, Kenneth could not just let it slide. “Old Mr. Watson

—”

“I hope that the Hamilton family will not give Nat any valuable presents henceforth. After all, you two

are divorced. If anything untoward happens to her, I can’t guarantee you that I’ll be able to act

rationally,” Terence interrupted.

Just like that, he rendered Kenneth speechless.

After frowning and hesitating for quite a while, Kenneth nodded and muttered, “Understood.”

“Good. You’d better get going.” Terence left him with that and sat down with his back facing Kenneth,

not even casting him a glance.

While Kenneth was standing rooted to the spot, his phone rang. Upon taking a peek at the screen, he

furrowed his brows. Then, he shifted his gaze to look at them and announced, “I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, he turned around, took his leave, and closed the door behind him.

Looking at Terence, Natasha remarked, “Grandpa, you were not subtle at all when you asked him to

leave.”

“Oh, really? At least I didn’t ask him to get lost. He should be thankful that I was polite,” he said

furiously. “He’d better not think that I’ll forgive him just because he’s being nice.”

Natasha remained silence.

“Anyhow, what about you? What’s up between you and him?” Terence questioned.

Instantly, Natasha shook her head vigorously, afraid that her grandfather would get the wrong idea.

“I’ve got nothing to do with him. I don’t know how he found me, but I can assure you that we’re not in

any relationship whatsoever,” she quickly explained.

“Really?” Terence was dubious about it.

Natasha nodded.

Then, Terence pondered for a moment before he warned her once more, “Kenneth isn’t a goody two

shoes. Since you two are divorced, you should stay away from him.”

“I know,” answered Natasha, nodding.

“Zachary doesn’t know what happened to you, does he? How come he didn’t call or come over to pay

you a visit?” Terence was curious.

Obviously, he was more fond of Zachary as compared to Kenneth.

“Grandpa, mind your own business. Zachary doesn’t know about this, so please let him be,” Natasha

responded.

Terence thought for a bit and nodded in agreement. “Fine. It’s not like I was going to call him up and

update him about this.”

Only then did Natasha feel relieved.

Meanwhile, Anthony was on his way to see Natasha when he met Kenneth who was leaving the

hospital in a hurry.

He was stunned while he was pushing open the car door.

Thalia was surprised to see Anthony’s reaction, so she asked, “What’s the matter?”

It was only after Kenneth had entered his car that Anthony shook his head and replied, “Nothing.”

“Do you know that man?” Thalia was exceptionally observant.

“No, I don’t,” Anthony answered.

“He’s the legendary CEO of Hamilton Corporation, Kenneth Hamilton. He has connections in both the

legal scene as well as the underworld. No one seems to be able to take him down, no matter how

much they are willing to pay for that to happen,” explained Thalia.

Anthony listened quietly without uttering a single word. Then, he opened the car door and got out of it.

Thalia pondered for a moment and followed suit.

“What are you doing?” questioned Anthony.

“To go see your mommy with you!”

“How am I going to explain to her if you come with me?” Anthony asked.

“That’s your problem, not mine.”

Anthony was stumped.

“Even if you aren’t going to introduce who I am, you should at the very least explain where you had

been last night, right?” Thalia prompted him.

That’s another problem to deal with…

“Why don’t you say that you lost your way, and I happened to be the gorgeous angel who extended

help to you when you needed it most and even went to great lengths to send you to the hospital?”

When Thalia said that, she purposely gave him the biggest and most beautiful smile.

“Are you sure this will work?” Anthony was doubtful.

“Well, it’s better than not coming up with an excuse. Don’t you think so?” she asked in response.

“I think you’re belittling my mommy’s intelligence.” He could not help but feel this way.

“Let’s go. You’re very long-winded for your age.” Without any hesitation, Thalia went ahead of him into

the hospital.

Left with no choice, Anthony went along with her plan.

Terence was chatting with Natasha when Anthony opened the door and entered the room.

“Nat!” He dashed to his mother’s side, followed by Thalia, who was surprised when she saw the patient

sitting on the bed.

Similarly, Natasha was also shocked to see Thalia, but she quickly hid her emotions within a split

second.

“How are you, Nat? All good?” asked Anthony.

Natasha withdrew her gaze from Thalia and shook her head while focusing on Anthony. “I’m fine.

Where were you last night? How come you were not with Benjamin and Denise?”

“I went searching for you, and… I got lost,” he blurted a lie. Then, he looked in the direction of Thalia

and explained, “This kindhearted lady sent me to the hospital.”

Terence absolutely believed every word Anthony said. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude. “Thank

you, miss. You’re very kind.”

Thalia smiled. “Don’t mention it. I’m glad to be of help.”

Her eyes were fixated on Natasha the entire time. Isn’t this woman overly stunning?
