Chapter 855 The Last Thing He Wants
Upon hearing Denise's words, Benjamin's gaze shifted to Anthony's phone. He took the phone from his hand and began to examine the person on the screen. When he saw that face, Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly.
A memory of when he was at the hospital came to mind. He recalled how Denise looked when she looked up and apologized to that person and how their eyes were filled with complex emotions when they smiled at Denise. Benjamin had felt a sense of disgust at that moment, which was probably also what made the impression of that person even more profound. “I think it's him!”
“Right, it's him...” Denise nodded fervently and said with great certainty.
She felt a sense of familiarity after seeing the photo. However, Denise was too stunned to react, having seen him so suddenly.
Anthony listened to their conversation, his expression turning serious. He looked at them and asked with great uncertainty, “Are you saying you met this person at the hospital just now?”
Benjamin nodded earnestly. “That's right. He almost bumped into Denise in the hospital corridor. Although there's some age difference, his face is still very easy to recognize!” he said.
Benjamin did not look at the photo when it was sent to them the previous day, so he had no idea what Denise meant when she said he looked familiar. However, not that he had seen the photo, he could still recognize the person, even though he had aged a little compared to the photo.
Upon hearing this, Anthony murmured, “It's been a few years since Magus was betrayed, so it's only natural he's aged a bit...” As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and looked ahead. “Thalia.”
Before he could finish speaking, Thalia suddenly turned the steering wheel and made an emergency U-turn.
Miguel was sleeping at that moment, so when they made such an abrupt turn, he had almost slammed into the door.
He opened his eyes and looked absolutely bewildered. Miguel glanced outside and then at Thalia in the passenger seat, asking, “W-What's going on?”
“Sit tight and shut up,” Thalia said, taking another sharp turn and then speeding back the way they came.
Perhaps it was because of the tacit understanding between them, but Thalia immediately knew what Anthony wanted to say as soon as he spoke since they had spent so much time together.
Right then, Benjamin finally realized what they were thinking. He looked right at Anthony and asked, “Tony, what do you plan to do?”
“Shouldn't we ask Thalia?” Anthony answered, directing the question to Thalia.
After all, she was the real executor of their plan, so naturally, they would have to depend on her for this.
However, as Thalia drove, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, a gleam flashed across her eyes. After a while, a cold smile tugged at her lips as she said, “I haven't decided what to do yet, but it will definitely be the last thing he wants!”
Anthony listened and nodded with great satisfaction.
Yes. This is the Thalia I know.
“Mmm, the angel is becoming a devil!” Denise commented.
Thalia didn't say a word and rushed back to the hospital as fast as she could.
The car came to a stop, and Thalia said, “I'll go in first!” Without waiting for a response, she immediately got out of the car and headed in.
Miguel, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on his face. “What are you guys trying to do?”
Anthony got out of the car and turned to look at Denise behind him. “You stay in the car and let Miguel protect you here!”
Upon seeing the situation, Denise immediately spoke up. “No, since we came together, we should obviously act together!”
“But—”
“Just let her join us, Tony. Denise really did a great job today!” Benjamin said.
“I was just worried it's shock her!”
“She's not as delicate as you think!” Benjamin replied.
Upon hearing this, Denise nodded eagerly.
Anthony looked at Benjamin helplessly. “Go on and spoil her then!” After saying that, he glanced at Miguel. “Take good care of Denise.”
Miguel was still in a state of confusion, but he could still understand the command. He nodded blankly and said, “All right!”
And so, Anthony followed closely behind Thalia.
Upon seeing this, the rest of them immediately followed suit.
In the hospital, Anthony finally saw Thalia when he found the ward.
However, she and Lina were the only ones in there.
Lina sat there, seemingly unaware of what had happened. However, she furrowed her brows slightly when she saw them come in. She looked straight at Denise and asked, “Didn't you guys leave already? Why did you come back? Did you leave something behind?”
Seeing her looking as if she had no idea what was going on, Denise smiled and shook her head. “No. Thalia wanted to come to visit you, so we all came together!”
Hearing that, Lina looked at the person before her. “So, you're Thalia?”
Thalia nodded. “Yes!”
“Thank you!” Lina exclaimed.
Thalia didn't know what to say for a moment, as she wasn't good at such things. Instead, she asked directly, “No worries. Magus and I are friends. By the way, where is he?”
Lina immediately answered, “He hasn't returned yet after seeing them out earlier!”
“I have something to discuss with him.” Without waiting for Lina to say anything else, Thalia headed straight outside.
Anthony watched and, without any hesitation, immediately followed.
Seeing the grim expressions on their faces, Lina immediately furrowed her brows and looked at Denise. “Did something happen?”
Denise quickly shook her head in response. “No!”
“Really?”
“Well, we were about to leave this place, right? Thalia has something to discuss with Magus, so that's why...” Denise faced Lina, struggling to find a way to continue her well-intentioned lie.
“What Thalia wanted to say is that she wanted to help Magus find a decent job and wanted to ask if he's willing to take it,” Benjamin said on her behalf.
Lina raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised by what she heard. “Really?”
Benjamin nodded.
Nonetheless, she said after a moment, “But Magus has offended many people here. Who would want to hire him?”
“Thalia has a number of friends here. For her sake, they'll give him a chance as long as he works earnestly,” Benjamin said.
Hearing that, Lina looked at him and then smiled and nodded. “Great! That's wonderful if that's the case. Thank you. Thank you all!”
“No need!” Benjamin answered.
Just then, Denise glanced at her and said, “Lina, make sure you rest well and take good care of yourself. We'll be on our way now!” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Wait a moment!” Lina looked at her.
“Is there anything else?” Denise asked.
Lina looked at her with a gentle smile, “I still don't know your name!”
The girl smiled. “My name is Denise, Denise Watson!”
Upon hearing this name, Lina furrowed her brow.
Seemingly knowing what she wanted to say, Denise immediately said, “My mom is kind of lazy, so she gave us names following the alphabetical order. It's just a name anyway. It's fine as long as it's easy to remember.”
Lina laughed in response. “Your mom must be a really interesting person!”
The girl didn't deny it. “Lina, you can also be interesting like her!”
Lina was slightly taken aback.
Denise smiled and didn't say anything more as she turned to walk outside.
Lina sat on the hospital bed while watching them leave, the look in her eyes growing increasingly profound.
