Chapter 838 Are You Hinting At Something
Inside the hospital room, Magus looked extremely worried while holding the hand of Lina, who was lying on the bed.
Thalia hesitated for a moment, then looked at him. “You can consider what I've said. If you agree, feel free to
contact me anytime. I'll leave my number here.” With that, she placed a piece of paper with her number on the
headboard.
Magus remained unmoved.
Thalia glanced at him, retracted her gaze, and turned to walk out.
Only after hearing the door close did Magus's gaze shift to the note on the headboard, which had Thalia's phone
number.
His gaze on the note was exceptionally profound.
When Thalia returned to the car, Anthony was on the phone with Natasha.
“I got it. Two days, and if things don't work out, I'll go back!”
“Okay, enjoy your meal, Nat!”
“All right, let's leave it at that for now!”
After exchanging a few words, Anthony hung up the phone.
Thalia looked at him. “How's it going over there?”
“Everything's great!” Anthony replied.
Thalia nodded.
Anthony put away his phone and looked at Thalia. “What did Magus say?”
Thalia answered, “What else? He's on guard around people now, and it's not like you can get through him with just
a sentence or two!”
Anthony thought for a moment and said, “He will come around.”
Thalia looked at him. “You really don't understand Magus; he's quite stubborn!”
“The more stubborn a person is, the more likely they are to yield to emotions!” Anthony said, turning his head to
look at Thalia with an indescribable certainty in his eyes.
Thalia frowned and pondered those words carefully.
Anthony added, “If it were me, I would grab any opportunity regardless of how dangerous it may be. An opportunity
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtis an opportunity!”
“I hope so!” Thalia said.
“Don't worry. We just need to wait patiently for the phone call,” Anthony comforted.
“I can be patient, but can you?” Thalia asked. Anthony kept calling Natasha three times a day. If Thalia did not know
better, she would think Anthony was a mommy's boy.
“It's best if he agrees in two days; if not, then it's up to his luck,” Anthony said. He was not the type to sacrifice
himself for others. It was acceptable for him as long as he did his best. After all, it was others' choices, and
everyone had to pay the price for their own decisions.
Thalia nodded. “You're right!”
She narrowed her eyes and was about to leave when she realized Anthony was the only one in the car. Her
eyebrows furrowed. “Where are the other three?”
Just as Anthony was about to answer, he noticed three people slowly approaching from outside. Therefore, he
gestured with his chin and said, “There.”
Thalia looked outside.
At that moment, three people walked over, each enjoying an ice cream. When they noticed the people in the car,
they quickly hopped in as well.
Thalia's eyebrows furrowed when looking at all three of them. “You all seem quite relaxed and comfortable, huh?”
Denise ate the ice cream's whipped cream and said matter-of-factly, “Yeah, we don't have anything to do anyway!”
Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Exactly!”
Miguel was also eating with such dedication.
Thalia watched with her eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. “Why would a grown man eat ice cream? Isn't that a bit
effeminate?”
Upon hearing her voice, Miguel looked up and said, “Benjamin ate too. Can you not always vent your anger on me
because you can't do anything about them?”
Thalia pursed her lips. “Can Benjamin even be considered a man?”
Benjamin paused eating his ice cream and asked, “Why... I'm not a man?”
Thalia looked back at Benjamin and quickly explained, “No, that's not what I meant. What I meant is, you're still
young!”
While speaking, Thalia immediately turned back to look at Miguel. “Why are you even comparing yourself to a
child?”
Miguel responded, “There's no rule saying men can't eat ice cream, and there's certainly no rule saying that men
who eat ice cream are effeminate!”
He continued to eat earnestly as he retorted, which made the ice cream look absolutely delicious.
Thalia grew angrier as she watched and said, “Who says there's no rule? I'll make one now. Any man who eats ice
cream is effeminate!”
Miguel was rendered speechless.
At this moment, Anthony, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “Thalia is angry because none of you bought one for
her.”
Miguel was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her and asked, “So, is this what you meant?”
Thalia gave him a slight smile. “Miguel, I bet you're single!”
Miguel asked, “I am single, but why did you bring that up out of the blue?”
Thalia looked at him with a mysterious smile on her face. “What I mean is, you'll be single in the future too!”
“Why?” he wondered.
She said, “Because with your emotional and intellectual intelligence, you don't deserve a girlfriend!”
Miguel was at loss for words.
He knew that Thalia was now “jealous” of them, so he made a show of enjoying his ice cream. Then, he said, “It
doesn't matter as long as I have ice cream!”
Thalia was speechless.
Anthony could not help but laugh behind them.
Miguel was getting better at annoying Thalia.
It seemed that nothing was impossible to cultivate.
Thalia's eyes turned red with anger as she glared at Miguel. “Start driving!”
On the other side, after Natasha ended the phone call with Anthony, Kenneth walked over to her and asked, “How
did it go?”
“Not exactly smooth sailing!” Natasha replied.
After pondering for a moment, Kenneth nodded and said, “That's fine. This will let them know that this is how the
world works, and not everything will go as they wish!”
Upon hearing this, Natasha looked at him and asked, “Shouldn't a father help his child overcome difficulties and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworries?”
“My children don't need my help; they can solve their problems themselves!” he said.
Natasha laughed.
Although she asked that, her opinion was in line with Kenneth's.
If the children faced the reality of this world and learned about these setbacks in advance, they would learn to
cherish what they have even more.
Natasha has never been one to worry about any difficulties the children might face; in this regard, she has always
had an open-minded perspective.
As Natasha was deep in thought, Kenneth's phone suddenly rang. He hesitated for a moment after seeing the
number but later answered the call directly. “Hello.”
Upon hearing the words from the other side, Kenneth's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He said, “All right, I got it.”
The phone call ended, and Natasha looked at him while asking, “What's wrong?”
Kenneth looked at her. “We've found the traitor!”
At the mention of this, Natasha was slightly taken aback. “How did you find them?”
“Well, it's all thanks to that Cosmos guy!” Kenneth said.
Natasha closed her eyes and then said, “It's great that you found it!”
At this moment, Kenneth lowered his eyes to look at her. “Nat, once this matter is settled, it's time for us to carry
out our plan!”
Speaking of this, Natasha's eyes changed slightly, and then she looked at Kenneth. “I know!”
“Are you scared?”
“As long as I'm with you, there's nothing to be afraid of!”
Watching her, Kenneth also raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he reached out his hand and said, “Let's go!”
Natasha was slightly taken aback. “Where to?”
“Let's take advantage of the time the three little ones are away and enjoy some time alone together!” Kenneth
uttered softly.
Natasha's eyes narrowed slightly. “We're not just changing locations to do something indescribable, are we?”
Hearing her question, Kenneth moved closer to her and asked, “Nat, are you trying to hint something to me?”
Natasha started, 'I-”
He interrupted her, “Of course, I'd be more than happy to accompany you if you'd like!”
Natasha was rendered speechless.
She did not mean to imply anything at all.
