Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Benjamin also turned to Denise, and upon seeing her exaggerated expression, he immediately affirmed Anthony's statement. He responded with a nod. "I see."

Denise turned to Benjamin and gradually came to her senses. "Anthony, how did you find out about it?"

"What do you think?"

Denise immediately began to pat herself down.

Seeing that, Benjamin asked, "What are you doing?"

"I wonder if Anthony has planted a bug on me," Denise replied.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at her. "You might as well say that he planted a bug in your watch."

Thinking that what he said made sense, Denise lifted her eyes to glance at Anthony, her gaze filled with a plea for confirmation.

Yet, at this moment, Anthony gave them a disdainful stare. "You actually believe what Benjamin said?"

"How else did you find out about it then?" Denise asked.

Anthony remained silent, continuing to walk forward.

Denise immediately walked up and grabbed his shirt, "Anthony, please tell me. I won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't." "What does that have to do with me?" Anthony asked.

His response rendered Denise so angry and speechless. She immediately turned to Benjamin. "Ben, you see what Anthony did to me?" Seeing the situation, Benjamin walked over and said calmly, "You might as well tell her. Otherwise, she'll keep pestering you all day."

Upon hearing that, Denise immediately nodded her head repeatedly. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Glancing helplessly at them, Anthony lowered his eyes to glare at Denise, who was still tugging at his shirt. "Let go."

Denise immediately did as he instructed.

Now that she had become more behaved, Anthony finally spoke. "It's not that difficult to figure things out. I overheard Spencer's conversation with Magus last time, and at that time, Spencer said it was necessary to address her psychological problems in order to completely cure Lina's illness. The problem that was plaguing her would vanish once she had a child," he continued, looking at Denise. "Furthermore, Spencer also suggested that you should visit Lina from time to time and show how contented you are. That's how I deduced it based on all these details."

Benjamin slowly nodded after hearing that. "I see."

Denise shifted her gaze to him. "Anthony, you're a quite mysterious man, you know that?"

Anthony glanced at her. "What do you mean?"

"You always seem so indifferent to everything as if don't pay attention to anything, yet, you seem to know everything. I might be your sister, but I sometimes find you a little terrifying," Denise replied. Anthony's expression remained deadpan as he turned his attention to her while casually raising an eyebrow. "Terrifying?"

"Just a little bit..."

"Okay, fine. I'm relieved that you think I'm terrifying." Anthony gave a nod and stepped forward. "Otherwise, with how much Dad and Mom have spoiled you, you'd be uncontrollable." Denise instantly retorted, "I'm not spoiled."

"We both know the truth. I'm not going to dwell on this further," Anthony retaliated.

"Anthony, can't you be a bit more like Ben? You should show me your affection. After all, I'm your sister-your only biological sister," Denise said.

"Only biological sister?" Anthony let out a smirk. "That might not be the case."

Denise immediately turned his head and asked him. "What do you mean?"

"Who knows if Dad and Mom will have another baby in the future? And considering how Dad has always preferred having daughters, what if they decide to have another one?"

His remark rendered Denise speechless.

Denise suddenly stopped in her tracks when she thought of Kenneth.

Anthony turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

Denise fixed her eyes on him. "D-Do you think Dad will wake up again?"

"Absolutely!" Anthony responded immediately. "I've done my research, there are many precedents of patients in a vegetative state suddenly waking up one day, so it's possible. Moreover, Spencer has said that Dad's overall physical recovery is going well, so I believe he will definitely wake up."

Denise shifted her gaze to him. "But I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid." Before she could finish her words, Benjamin stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Give Dad a little more time, and let's have faith in him. He surely can't bear to leave us. He'll definitely wake up."

Hearing that, Denise turned her head to look at Benjamin, her eyes filled with anguish. "But every time I think of Daddy, I become unbearably sad. You expect me to be like you guys, not be upset when you guys mention Dad..."

Anthony fixed his eyes on her. "Denise, remember this, Dad is still alive, and he could wake up at any moment. He's just asleep right now. Don't think of this as a bad thing. We should make Daddy a part of our lives and involve him in our daily activities so that we can feel his presence around us. By doing so, we'll be able to get through this together."

Denise turned her attention to him, pursing her lips, unsure of how to respond.

At that moment, Benjamin gazed at her and said, "Denise, Anthony is right. Each of us is trying to distract ourselves from the misery. If we all were to think like you, our family would have plunged into despair. Is that the kind of life you want to see?"

Denise shook her head.

"If that's the case, heed our advice," Benjamin said, looking at her. "Whether it's about faith or anything else, we should live our lives to the fullest so that life can go on as usual. Let's not disrupt the tacit understanding we've reached within the family."

Realization dawned on Denise when she heard that.

It turned out that their apparent lack of grief and their ability to move forward was not because they didn't feel the pain or had fully recovered from the incident. Instead, they had come to understand that this was the only way to keep their lives moving forward.

With that in mind, she nodded. "Got it, Ben."

Benjamin chuckled and patted her on the head. "Good girl. I knew you'd grasp the situation."

Denise glanced at him, lips curling into a slight smile.

"You must have cried often, right?" Benjamin asked.

"That's not true..."

Benjamin continued asking, "Do you think you can hide it from us?"

On the days when they were not at home, Denise was also absent from Natasha's company. Benjamin understood that Denise was likely concealing herself somewhere, privately coping with her sorrow and shedding tears.

Denise lowered her gaze. "Hey, I'm not that weak, you know..."

"I hope so," Benjamin responded. "Denise, remember this. It's okay to be emotional and feel sad. Anthony and I are here for you. But also remember, no one is more upset than Nat right now. So, don't show how vulnerable you are in front of her. She might end up needing to comfort you instead. Understand?"

Upon hearing that, Denise immediately nodded. "I'm aware of that. I teared up secretly because I didn't dare to do that in front of Nat..."

Before she could finish his sentence, it was clear that she had already exposed himself.

Benjamin turned his attention to her, gave a slight smile, and gently tousled her hair. "All right, we understand. We know you're a sensible girl."

She replied, "I am and have always been..."

"Let's go. We should visit Nat and help her tidy up her things," Benjamin said.

Denise's lips curled into a smile as Benjamin walked ahead with his arm around her shoulder. As she approached Anthony, she looked at him and called out. "Anthony?" "What's up?"

"Let's go together!" said Denise.

"Childish," Anthony responded before taking the lead and walking ahead.

Benjamin and Denise exchanged glances.

"He's embarrassed now," Benjamin said.

Denise nodded in agreement. "Totally."

The two of them hastened their steps and caught up with Anthony.
