You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 32

In the afternoon, some colleagues went to visit Xavier at the hospital.

Only then did Natasha realize that he had not come to the office that day.

Knowing that Xavier would be giving his little sister a bone marrow transplant, everyone pitched in to buy something for him. However, as the hospital was too far and no one had the time, only a few representatives went.

Other than Thomas and Ross, there was no one else.

“Ms. Watson, let's go after work. The hospital isn't far from your house, and it's on the way,” suggested Ross.

“It's fine. Xavier won't welcome me. If I tag along, he'll only feel even more annoyed. Just bring some fruits on my behalf,” replied Natasha.

“Okay, then.” They did not force her.

After work, Natasha left directly and went to the hospital.

Holding a bouquet of flowers and some fruits, she appeared in Liam's hospital ward.

When Liam spotted her, he instantly became more energetic. “You're here, Nat! You can just visit. There's no need to buy anything!”

“It's just some fruits. There's nothing expensive,” replied Natasha.

“Come and take a seat!” invited Liam, looking much healthier than before.

“How are you? Are you getting better?” asked Natasha.

“Do I look like I'm ill? I'm doing fine, but that brat refuses to let me get discharged.” Liam felt furious and exasperated when he mentioned Kenneth.

Natasha chuckled. “No matter what, your health is the most important. You should only be discharged when the doctor allows you to.

“I want to ask you something, Nat. Tell me the truth,” asked Liam curiously all of a sudden.

“Go ahead.”

“Why is your grandpa acting so mysteriously recently? When he received his calls, he would turn away from me. Do you think that... he found a woman he's interested in?” whispered Liam.

Um...

“If he did, he can just tell me! It's not like I won't support him, right? Why is he hiding it from me all the time? Is he scared that I'll tease him?” guessed Liam.

Natasha could not stop herself from laughing.

“Why are you laughing? Tell me if I'm right!” Liam acted like he was an accomplished detective.

“He didn't, Old Mr. Hamilton,” replied Natasha.

“He didn't.”

Yes.”

“What is he doing, then?” “Well...” Even if Natasha knew, she could not tell him the truth. After thinking about it, she said, “Perhaps something happened. I'm not so sure either.”

Liam was stumped. “This doesn't make sense. According to my understanding of that old bloke, this shouldn't be what's happening...”

An old acquaintance would definitely notice something amiss.

“Nat.”

“Mm?”

“How is Terence's health?” asked Liam.

“Quite good,” replied Natasha.

“Are you sure?”

“He goes for two full-body checkups every year! I've reviewed the results, and they're quite good,” guaranteed Natasha.

Only then did Liam heave a sigh of relief. “If he isn't in a relationship and his health is

fine, what can he be hiding from me?”

Natasha could not bear to lie to Liam. She said, “All right, Old Mr. Hamilton. You should focus on your own health. I heard Grandpa say that you're not as strong as him.”

“Nonsense!” rebuked Liam. “I'm so much stronger than him. He's healthy now because he has an obedient granddaughter. If he has a disobedient grandson, he will fall ill from anger like me too.”

“It's okay. No matter what, your health is the most important.”

“Don't worry. I'm not dumb. I still want to argue with Terence for another twenty years.”

Only then did Natasha feel relieved.

At that moment, the door was flung open. Kenneth and Thea walked in. When Liam saw them, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Evidently, the duo did not expect to see Natasha there too.

Without a change in expression, Thea approached them with a smile. “Old Mr. Hamilton, I've bought some nutritious products for you. How are you doing? Are you feeling better?”

“Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.” There was a distant tone in Liam's voice.

Thea placed the nutritious products at the side awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Natasha said tactfully, “Old Mr. Hamilton, it's getting late. I'll go first. Please rest well!”

When Liam heard that, he immediately said, “When I'm discharged, have a meal at my place with Terence!”

Smiling, Natasha agreed, “Sure!”

Under Kenneth's gaze, Natasha left directly without even greeting them. It was like they did not know each other at all.

After she left, Liam resumed his lethargic state and slumped against the bed.

It's so boring here.

After leaving the hospital ward, Natasha was about to go back when she coincidentally bumped into Thomas and Ross at the staircase.

“Ms. Watson?” Ross walked over to her.

“Didn't you say that you aren't coming?”

“You're already here, so why did you ask us to bring this stuff for you?” As Thomas spoke, he stuffed the presents she had prepared into her arms. “You should pass these to him personally.”

“I think I won't go,” said Natasha.

“I know that Xavier didn't treat you well previously, but that's how direct he usually is. However, he felt guilty and apologized to you afterward. Don't take it to heart,” coaxed Ross.

Actually, Natasha was not bothered by it at all.

“Okay. Since she's here, let's go together.”

With that, Natasha was dragged to Xavier's hospital ward.

The surgery was quite successful. However, due to concerns about possible side effects, Xavier had to be monitored in the hospital for two days.

When they entered the hospital ward, and Xavier saw Natasha, his smile became awkward.

Thomas quickly explained, “We're here to visit you as representatives of the company! These are just some of our gifts for you.” As he spoke, he placed the bags on the table at the side.

Natasha also placed a bouquet of flowers down and said, “Get well soon.”

“Thank you,” replied Xavier calmly.

Natasha then stood at the side and stayed quiet.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Afraid that the atmosphere would turn awkward, Ross quickly said, “I heard that the surgery was successful!

Congratulations! You don't have to live in worry anymore.”

Although Xavier still looked quite pale, there was a relaxed grin on his face. He nodded firmly and replied, “Yes! No matter what, thank you for your help.”

“We didn't really help. The one who truly helped you is—"

Before Ross could finish his sentence, the doctor entered to do his routine checks. “How are you doing? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Xavier shook his head. “No, I'm fine.”

When the doctor noticed Natasha standing at the side, he smiled and greeted, “We meet again.

Natasha merely smiled in return.

Ross quickly asked, “Do you know each other?”

“Not really. I met her when she came to pay Xavier's hospital bills.” Although Natasha was quiet, she was very pretty. Hence, the doctor had a strong impression of her.

What the f*ck?

Everyone stared at Natasha in surprise.
