Chapter 149
Chapter 149
Liam bought plenty of food, drinks, and games before making the trip to the hospital. Upon reaching, he went straight to Natasha's ward.
However, he discovered the ward was empty once he stepped inside.
“Why is there no one here?” Liam looked around and realized someone had already tidied the room.
Dan, who was beside him, said upon seeing the situation, “Let me check with a nurse.” With that, the man went out of the ward.
Several minutes later, Dan returned. He looked at Liam and said, “The nurse told me that Ms. Watson got discharged this morning."
“Discharged?” Liam's expression instantly turned grim.
“She hasn't completely recovered. How could she suddenly be discharged?” However, as soon as his words fell, a thought flashed through Liam's mind. “Do you think that in order not to let me meet my great-grandchildren, that old geezer took them away and fled?”
Dan chuckled upon listening to his comment. “Of course not. You’ve known Old Mr. Watson for so many years. He would have taken them away long ago if he had such thoughts. Why would he only take action now?”
Nevertheless, Liam still felt apprehensive. He took out his phone to make a call. Seeing that the call went through, Liam finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It didn't take long before Terence answered the call. His impatient voice sounded from the other end. “What's the matter?”
“Terence, y-you still have the nerve to ask me that? Nat hasn't fully recovered, but you actually allow her to get discharged!”
“I'm willing to make this decision because she's my granddaughter. What does this have to do with you?” Although Terence was also reluctant to do so, he felt it was necessary to retaliate when facing Liam's confrontation.
“Why are you such an ingrate?” “You should keep an eye on your grandson instead of my granddaughter,” Terence replied.
Liam was about to snap back when he suddenly heard a youthful male voice in the background from the other end. “Nat, you should get some rest. I can take it from here.”
Upon hearing that voice, Liam abruptly furrowed his brows. “Who's at your house?”
Terence answered, “It's none of your business. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.” Before Liam could respond, the other party had ended the call.
The ingenious Liam immediately recalled the young man who had come to the hospital the other day.
That Terence really refuses to give up!
With that thought in mind, Liam whirled around and wanted to walk out.
“Where are you going, Old Mr. Hamilton?” Dan followed closely behind.
“To Terence's house!” “Are we not going to see Mr. Kenneth?” Dan questioned.
Only then did Liam remember that Kenneth was still staying in the neighboring ward.
After deeply mulling over it, he turned around again and headed straight to his grandson's ward.
Kenneth was still fast asleep. Nonetheless, as a light sleeper, he instantly opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion at the door.
Looking at the door vigilantly, he only noticed Liam entering in a foul mood.
“Grandpa?”
“You brat, how can you still be in the mood to sleep?” Liam could no longer hold back and started reprimanding his grandson once he stepped inside the ward.
Kenneth appeared exhausted. The man had spent the past few days watching over Natasha in the hospital and slept in his clothes. On top of that, he had chatted with Anthony the whole night and only fallen asleep just now.
“What's wrong?” Kenneth asked as he shut his eyes to rest. “Who made you angry again?”
“Do you know Nat got discharged from the hospital?”
Kenneth's eyes suddenly flew wide open.
Clarity returned to his eyes. “Discharged? When?”
“Someone is about to snatch Nat away right now, but you're still in the mood to sleep!” Liam scoffed when he saw Kenneth's ignorant expression.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes.
Was it because I went overboard yesterday? We even had breakfast together this morning. Yet, she actually got discharged?
“While you were sleeping, a certain man was being affectionate toward Nat at home!” Liam glared at Kenneth disappointingly as he spoke.
Kenneth fixed his eyes on Liam. “Zachary went to look for her?”
“Yes, and he's even more devoted than you!”
“How did you know about that?”
“I heard him during my phone call with Terence!”
Kenneth's lips quirked up when he heard that.
“You're still smiling despite all that? There will come a day you break down after that man manages to win Nat over!” Liam fumed.
Having said all that, Liam felt he hadn't said enough and continued to rub salt into the wound. “By the time Nat marries the man and brings her children with her while letting them address him as their father, I shall see how humiliated and regretful you will be!”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Grandpa, do you have no confidence in me, or are you too confident in him?”
“I never once had confidence in you!” Liam spat out mercilessly.
Kenneth was rendered speechless.
“Do you even know what kind of reputation you have in the Watson family?” Liam continued. “Terence would rather let Nat find a new sweetheart than to let her get back with you. Don't you get it?” The elder didn't mince his words as he looked at his grandson disdainfully.
Kenneth was at a loss for words once again.
In this world, Liam might be the only person who would roast his blood-related grandchild to such an extent.
“Grandpa, am I your biological grandson?”
“I would also like to know whether I had carried the wrong grandchild in my arms that year!” Liam retorted. With Kenneth's personality, Liam found it hard to get along with him.
Kenneth understood that if the argument continued, he would end up incurring immense resentment from Liam.
He pondered for a moment before staring at Liam. “Grandpa, do you know about the Lynch family?”
“The Lynch family?” Liam returned with a question impatiently.
“They own Lynch Corporation.”
Liam frowned. “I heard of them before. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Most of their companies operate overseas, and it was only in recent years that they diverted their business locally. Since both of our families don't have any business dealings with each other, I've little understanding of them.”
Kenneth's lips formed into a curve. “Zachary is the second son of Desmond Lynch from Lynch Corporation.”
“Second son? I remember hearing that he only has one son who got into a car accident a few years back and became paralyzed...” After saying that, Liam was taken aback. Moments later, he asked, “Illegitimate child?”
Kenneth nodded.
“Since Lynch Corporation is currently facing financial issues, Desmond wants to acknowledge this son of his so that he can gain financial support from the Lenoir family through marriage using him.”
“Do you mean Zachary is going to marry someone from the Lenoir family? But I heard nothing about this matter,” Liam said.
Kenneth smirked. “Who would dare spread the news when the matter hasn't been decided?”
“You're acting nonchalantly all because you knew about that? Let me warn you. Even if that's the case, it doesn't mean you still stand a chance. If Zachary insists on not getting married, he may still be able to move Nat's heart!”
The corner of Kenneth's mouth twisted up. There was even a hint of delight in his chilly voice as he said, “Zachary's mother is a heartless woman. She has always wanted Zachary to return to the Lynch family and officially inherit the family's properties. It would be strange if she agreed to let Zachary do things his way.”
With that, Kenneth shot Liam a glance as he then spoke in a tone filled with conviction. “Also, you know too little about Natasha. She will never gₑₜ together with Zachary.”
