Chapter 35 Have Not Gotten The Results Yet

Liam turned around to give the nurse a pleading look. “Please let me off.”

“I’m not leaving until you take your medication.” The nurse didn’t relent.

Frustration bubbled within him. He wasn’t deliberately making the nurse’s life harder. Taking medication

was just pure torture for him.

Anthony, who was watching from the sidelines, contemplated for a moment before taking the medicine

from the nurse. “Give it to me.”

“What…” She was taken aback.

“Trust me,” he assured.

Liam didn’t know what tricks Anthony had up his sleeves when he took the medicine and approached

Liam. “Old Mr. Hamilton, the medicine, however bitter, is good for you. I’ll give you candy if you finish

your medication. It wouldn’t taste so bitter this way.”

Oh, what a silver tongue at his age.

Liam gave him a wary look. “Really?”

“Absolutely.” Anthony nodded.

Liam couldn’t possibly be persuaded to take his medicine by a child. It would be embarrassing if

anyone found out.

He took the medicine from Anthony and tipped it into his mouth before quickly washing it down with

water after a moment’s deliberation.

He looked exactly like Benjamin, who was wincing and hiding in a corner.

They both had a hard time taking medicine.

While Liam was grimacing at the medicine’s bitterness, Anthony produced a piece of candy and slipped

it into his mouth.

Indeed, it wasn’t so bitter after eating the candy, and the lines on Liam’s face smoothed out.

The nurse exhaled a relieved sigh after accomplishing her task of making sure he took his medicine.

“Thank you, kid.” She shot a look at Liam. “I’ll leave you be then.” Then, she left with a relaxed gait.

Liam took a seat on a bench and studied Anthony, suddenly reminiscing about Kenneth from back in

the day.

“How is it? It’s not too bitter, eh?” Anthony asked.

“Yes, it’s not.” Liam laughed.

Anthony grabbed a handful of bite-sized, clear candies in brightly colored wrappers.

“These are for you, Old Mr. Hamilton. Take one of them after your medication, and it wouldn’t taste as

bitter anymore.”

Liam glanced at the sweets. “You like them so much that you always have them with you?”

“No, I have a little brother who doesn’t like taking medicine, so I keep these on hand just in case,” he

explained.

Liam nodded and thought of something. “Do you know who I am, kid?”

Anthony stilled before shaking his head. “No.”

“Do you know what’s my name?” Liam pressed on.

“Only by what the nurse addressed you just now,” Anthony replied.

Liam nodded. “You’re just like my grandson—good-looking and bright.” He couldn’t stop himself from

tousling Anthony’s hair.

The moment his hand connected with Anthony, he felt an inexplicable feeling encompass him, like a

warm hand enveloping his heart, and warmth rushed through him.

Anthony flashed a rare smile, and his phone chirped. He knew it was Benjamin hurrying him.

“Someone’s waiting for me, Old Mr. Hamilton, so I’ll take my leave. Remember to take your medicine,

and don’t make those who care about you worried.”

Liam nodded with a smile. “All right, go, or your family will worry.”

Anthony returned his nod and gave him a longing look before turning to leave.

Liam remained seated and stared at his back wistfully.

Anthony rounded a corner and bumped into Benjamin, who said, “Denise informed me on WhatsApp

that Kenneth will be back soon.”

“Are they together?” Anthony asked.

“Should be,” replied Benjamin.

Anthony paused. “Let’s get out of here first.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, they went down the stairs.

Kenneth brought Denise out for a bite before returning to the hospital. He suddenly asked, “Why are

you alone here, Denise?”

“I’m not alone. I came here with my brother, Tony, to visit someone, and they went to queue up, so I

was waiting here, and coincidentally, I met you!” she explained excitedly.

“Be careful when you’re alone next time,” Kenneth smirked.

“Got it, Mr. Handsome.”

Her phone dinged with a notification, which she checked. “Tony is waiting for me outside, Mr.

Handsome. Bye.”

“All right, be safe.”

“Okay!” She nodded vigorously, beamed, and swiveled to leave.

Kenneth only left to go upstairs after Denise left.

Thea hesitated before jesting, “Denise seems a little mature for her age, don’t you think? She doesn’t

act like the other kids her age.”

He walked with long strides and responded after a long moment. “Brilliant kids are typically like that.”

Kenneth standing up for Denise irritated her. It wasn’t anything personal toward Denise, but Thea

noticed a difference in her when she was with Kenneth. She pretended to be adorable and obedient in

front of him, but when she was with Thea or the married couple, something flashed deep in her eyes,

and she didn’t seem like a kid.

Thea didn’t believe Kenneth was oblivious to this, so she was perplexed when he came to Denise’s

defense and decided to do a background check on her.

Three of them met up at the hospital entrance and left together.

Anthony glanced at Denise in the car. “Did you go out with Kenneth again?”

She didn’t deny it and nodded instead. “He helped me today and brought me out for desserts.” A

triumphant smile curved her lips.

He frowned at her delighted expression. “You like him that much?”

“Yes.” She gave another nod.

“What about Mommy?” he asked.

“I like Mommy too, and I don’t think I’m being rash.”

“Who would you choose between the two of them?” he questioned.

Her brows furrowed in displeasure. “Only a child has to choose. I want both.”

“Quit fooling around. You have to choose one.” Anthony persisted, not wanting anyone to replace

Natasha in their lives.

Denise lowered her gaze and grumbled, “Of course I’d choose Mommy. But he’s my daddy. I can’t be

with him and I can’t even like him?” She sounded indignant.

“We have to face it if something happens between them and they can’t reconcile,” he said.

Denise retreated into silence.

Benjamin spoke up. “All right, all right. We haven’t gotten the results yet. What if he isn’t Daddy?”
