SWNOVELS Chapter 33
Chapter 33 Denise Is Bullied
Even Xavier, who was lying on the bed, frowned. He shot a look of shock at Natasha.
"Ms. Watson, you're that secret rich lady?" asked Ross as he widened his eyes.
"Do you have a crush on..." Although Thomas did not finish his sentence, it was obvious what he was trying to say.
Xavier also glanced at Natasha with a conflicted look.
"You've got the wrong person," said Natasha as she looked at the doctor.
Naturally, the doctor had no idea what had happened between them. Smiling, he replied, "Ma'am, you are underestimating a doctor's memory."
"You've really got the wrong person." Before they could say anything else, Natasha murmured, "I've got something to do, so I'll leave first." With that, she left directly.
Everyone exchanged incredulous glances with each other in the hospital ward.
Meanwhile, the doctor did not notice anything. "All right. If there's nothing else, I'll continue with my routine checks."
"Doctor?" Xavier called out to him.
"What's the matter?"
"Are you sure that she paid my hospital bills?"
"She said that you asked her to pay on your behalf. Is there a problem?" asked the doctor.
After a long while, Xavier shook his head. "No..."
While the doctor left, the hospital ward was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
"Is Xavier Ms. Watson's type?" Thomas could not help but ask.
Glancing at Xavier, Ross could not help but lament, "Ms. Watson is great, just that she's quite blind..."
It was not Natasha's intention to do good without claiming credit. Instead, she merely did not want to create unnecessary trouble.
After leaving the hospital, she hailed a taxi home.
However, immediately after she left, the three kids arrived.
There were a lot of people rushing in and out of the hospital. Since the three kids looked extremely out of place there, everyone took a second glimpse at them.
Anthony checked his phone for a while before keeping it. "I discovered that he's on the fourth floor. The three of us together would attract too much attention. We must split up." "Okay." Benjamin nodded.
"Both of you can go in first," suggested Denise.
"Okay. Stay here and don't move," reminded Anthony.
"Don't worry. It's not my first time outside." Denise flashed him a reassuring smile.
Anthony and Benjamin headed in.
Feeling quite bored, Denise paced around the entrance. At that moment, a couple rushed over quickly without noticing her. They crashed into her, sending her falling to the ground.
When the couple saw that, they merely glanced at Denise and chided, "Why is no one looking after this child? She's running around wildly."
Denise stood up and stared at her. "Ma'am, you seem to have horrible eyesight. You bumped into me when you walked over. I didn't even move."
"Why are you lying, you brat? How uncivilized!" criticized the woman disdainfully.
Uncivilized?
When Denise heard that, she became furious. "Mommy told me that it depends on the person. There's no need to act in a civilized manner toward uncivilized people. Ma'am, you bumped into me! Please apologize to me!"
"Me? Apologize to you? Little child, are you mistaken? You were the one who ran around and bumped into me. I didn't even teach you a lesson for that! How did your parents raise you? You're such a disobedient child." After saying that, the woman prepared to leave.
"How did your parents raise you? You bumped into me. However, since I'm still young, you think that you can lie so blatantly. Is this how what you plan to teach your children in the future?" Not intimidated, Denise rebuked her.
Her firmness was just like Natasha's.
As if Denise had just hit the nail on the head, the woman's expression turned grim. "If you continue spouting nonsense, I'm going to hit your head."
"How dare you?" Denise had never been hit before.
Feeling embarrassed, the woman raised her hand and was about to slap her.
"Stop."
At that moment, a deep voice sounded behind her.
When Denise turned around and saw Kenneth standing behind, her eyes lit up. "Mr. Handsome!" With that, she sprinted toward him.
When she jumped into his arms, he carried her. "Are you okay?"
"Someone's bullying me..." mumbled Denise, pretending to sound pitiful.
Fury surfaced in Kenneth's eyes as he strode toward the couple.
"Are you hitting a child in public?" demanded Kenneth, his gaze so cold that it would make one shiver.
"Who are you?" asked the couple. His clothing and appearance gave him a dignified look, which caused them to feel intimidated.
Just when Kenneth was about to speak, Denise hugged his neck and pressed her face against him. "He's my daddy."
Kenneth was stunned, not expecting her to say that. When he gazed at Denise, it felt like she was actually his daughter.
"Didn't you say that I'm uncivilized? Didn't you want to hit me? You can try it! Anyway, my daddy isn't anyone exceptional. He's just the CEO of Hamilton Corporation!" bragged Denise.
Although they might not have seen Kenneth before, they definitely had heard about Hamilton Corporation. After all, it was a name that everyone in Glenport City knew.
Immediately, a grim expression crossed the couple's faces.
"You're so good at spouting nonsense! Not only did you deny bumping into me, but you're also stirring sh*t up!" snapped the woman guiltily.
Kenneth returned to his senses and glanced at the surveillance cameras. "There are surveillance cameras here. If you are telling the truth, I'll make my daughter apologize to you, and I'll compensate you. But you're lying, I'll have to resort to my own methods," said Kenneth.
When the woman heard that, she quickly scanned her surroundings and realized that there were a lot of surveillance cameras pointing at them. Understanding the situation they were in, the man immediately said, "Mr... Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry. We were wrong. Please forgive us..."
However, Kenneth ignored him and continued staring at the woman.
Realizing what was going on, the man tugged the woman, signaling her to apologize.
In the end, she lowered her head timidly. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to my daughter," instructed Kenneth.
Even though the woman felt extremely reluctant, she looked at Denise and mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"I can't hear you!" Denise raised her chin smugly.
As Kenneth saw how lively and adorable she was, a look of affection crossed his eyes.
Feeling embarrassed, the woman repeated, "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose."
Only then did Denise nod. "Fine! Since you already apologized, I'll forgive you. After all, since I'm more civilized than you, I won't keep hounding you."
The woman was at a loss for words. Despite the fury raging within her, she had no choice but to suppress it.
After they apologized and saw that Kenneth was not going to make a big deal out of it, they quickly fled. Kenneth glanced at Denise. "You're really fearless, little girl."
