Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 59

Kenneth, who sat on the couch the whole night, woke up with neck pain.

When he was about the twist his neck, a pair of hands emerged and massaged his shoulders.

Kenneth froze for a moment and stood up right away.

Thea stood behind him and gave him a faint smile. “You’re awake?”

“Hey.” Kenneth heaved a sigh of relief. “How’s your dad?”

“He hasn’t woken up.” Thea looked disappointed.

Kenneth glanced at his watch and said, “He’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Thea nodded. Something seemed to pop up in her mind, and she looked at Kenneth. “I bought

breakfast. Wanna join me?”

The famished Kenneth nodded since he had not eaten anything since last night.

Thea laid the breakfast on the table.

While Kenneth was enjoying the breakfast, she looked at him and thought of yesterday’s news.

She hesitated for a while but decided to ask, “Kenneth, I came across a piece of news last night-”

Before she could finish her sentence, the doctor came over. “I have the test results.”

While Thea was still in a daze, Kenneth walked up to the doctor. “What are the results?”

The doctor grinned. “It’s not malignant, don’t worry.”

A weight was off Thea’s shoulders when she heard the doctor’s remark. “Thank you, doctor. Thank

you so much.”

“Since the tumor is non-malignant, we can remove it through a simple medical procedure. We can

arrange a date to carry out the procedure, so do let me know your decision,” the doctor said.

Kenneth looked at Thea and asked, “What do you think?”

Thea nodded steadily. “Yes. Let’s do it.”

“All right. Let’s arrange a date to remove the tumor then,” Kenneth said.

“Sure. I’ll make the necessary arrangement then.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. We’ll always be here for you, Mr. Hamilton.” The doctor then turned around and

left.

Kenneth looked at Thea and said, “He’s a famous neurosurgeon, don’t worry.”

Thea heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay. I trust you, Kenneth. And thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Suddenly, Caroline came out of the room. “Thea! Thea!”

“Yes, Mom?” Thea turned around.

“How’s your dad? How’s he doing?” Caroline asked.

“Mom, Dad is fine. The doctor said the tumor is not malignant,” Thea replied.

Caroline perked up upon hearing that. “Really?”

“Yes.” Thea nodded. “You can ask Kenneth if you don’t believe me.” Caroline then noticed Kenneth

standing next to Thea.

“Thanks to Kenneth, we managed to obtain the test results fast. The doctor will arrange the

medical procedure to remove the tumor. Dad is gonna be fine,” Thea said with a grin.

“Is that so, Mr. Hamilton?”

Kenneth bobbed his head. “Yes. The doctor in charge of your husband’s medical procedure is a

famous neurosurgeon, so you don’t need to worry.”

Caroline’s lips finally curled into a smile. “That’s great! Thank you so much, Mr. Hamilton. Thank

you!”

“You’re welcome. I’ll do anything for Thea,” Kenneth said.

Thea froze for a moment as she did not expect Kenneth to say something like that.

There were sparkles in her eyes when she looked in Kenneth’s direction.

Caroline glanced at Thea before turning her attention to Kenneth. “I’m relieved that you’re with

Thea.”

Kenneth did not respond to that remark.

“All right, Mom. Kenneth should go home and take a rest. He had spent a night here yesterday. I’ll

accompany you to visit Dad,” Thea said.

Caroline was surprised to hear that. She looked at the man and said, “You must be exhausted. Go

back and take a rest, Kenneth.”

“All right.” Kenneth nodded.

“Thea, you don’t need to accompany me. You should send Kenneth off. I can go in myself.”

“It’s all right-”

“Oh, it’s all right. She can walk you out.” Caroline then nudged Thea.

Thea instantly understood her mother’s intention. She looked at Kenneth and said, “Come on. I’ll

walk you to the door.”

Kenneth decided to accept Caroline’s kind gesture and left the ward with Thea.

Caroline looked at their backs and was relieved to see the two together.

At the hospital’s lobby, Thea looked at him and asked, “Are you going home to rest or heading

back to the office?”

“I’ll go back and change before going to the office,” the man answered.

Thea pressed her lips. “Thank you for your help last night. I would be so lost if I were all alone.”

“Don’t think so much about it anymore. Take good care of your dad in the hospital, and don’t worry

about your work in the office.”

Thea nodded.

“I’m going to go now.” Kenneth then turned around and left.

Thea stood by the door and watched him leave. She started having butterflies in her stomach.

Kenneth wouldn’t have done so much for me if he didn’t have feelings for me. He wouldn’t have

made those sweet remarks too.

Thea took a deep breath and returned to the ward.

Meanwhile, Caroline, who was accompanying Harry in the ward, noticed the smile on Thea’s face.

“Someone seems very happy today.”

“Stop it, Mom-” Thea walked over and sat beside Caroline.

“It’s all written on your face, honey.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I’m happy because Dad is not in danger,” Thea said.

“Come on. You’re my daughter. I know what’s on your mind,” Caroline teased.

“Mom-” Thea responded bashfully.

“Kenneth is a capable man, Thea. Get hold of him, and you’ll be able to live comfortably for the

rest of your life,” Caroline said.

“That’s not what I look for in a man,” Thea mumbled.

“Meaning Kenneth has other better qualities? That’s even better!” Caroline exclaimed.

“But I don’t know what he thinks of me.” Thea looked down dejectedly.

“He wouldn’t have spent a night here if he didn’t care about you or do all these things for your dad,

would he?” Caroline asked in response.

Thea looked at her mother. “Really?”

“You have to be a little more confident, Thea. You’re decent-looking and have a nice personality. I

wouldn’t be surprised if he falls for you. Besides, he wouldn’t have done all these if he didn’t like

you. Did you not hear what he said just now?” Caroline said.

“Yes, I did. Sometimes, I feel it too, but-” Thea knitted her brows and continued, “But somehow, I

feel he treats Natasha a little differently. I don’t know how to explain, but my gut feeling tells me

that woman holds a special place in his heart.”

Caroline smiled. “Men can be greedy because it’s their nature. Besides, that woman is his ex-wife.

It might not be easy for Kenneth to forget about her, but it doesn’t matter because, in the end, the

real winner is the woman who would stay by his side,” Caroline said.

Thea frowned when she heard her mother’s remark.

“Gorgeous women might have an advantage over their competitors, but those who survived the

game of love are truly the capable ones. The woman named Natasha won’t get in your way for

long,” Caroline said.

Thea responded with a faint grin. “All right, Mom.”
