Chapter 362 I Can Make Wishes Come True
Yara Nichols, Natalie Nichols… And now, these two children too? Given how mediocre Natalie looks, these beautiful kids are probably not hers. Besides, sharing a surname doesn’t necessarily mean that they are related.
When he saw Kenneth deep in thought, Clayton asked, “Mister, what are you thinking about?”
Obviously, Kenneth wasn’t going to tell the children what was on his mind.
“Nothing.” He shook his head. “Considering how young you boys are, where did you learn how to save someone suffering from a heart attack?”
“Mommy taught us,” Clayton declared proudly with his brows raised. “Our mommy is an excellent doctor. She can cure diseases that ordinary doctors can’t. Thus, I have picked up a thing or two from her.”
Since Clayton was singing the praises of their mommy, Xavian chimed in, “Mister, my brother isn’t exaggerating at all. Mommy’s skills are truly a sight to behold. Many rich patients have to even queue to be treated by her.”
These two looks to be the same age as Franklin and Sophia.
Having seen how the brothers saved him in a manner even professionals couldn’t, Kenneth could imagine how skillful their mother was in medicine.
“Since you saved me,” Kenneth gradually remarked, “I owe you a debt of gratitude. Thus, I’ll grant you whatever you wish for.”
Xavian and Clayton exchanged glances at each other.
They had saved Kenneth solely because it was the right thing to do. It had never crossed their mind that they would be rewarded for it.
When he didn’t get a response, Kenneth assumed that they were too scared to tell him about it. Hence, he gently persuaded, “I can fulfill any wish you can think of. To be honest, I’m a rich and powerful man. Whatever you want, I’ll definitely be able to make it happen.”
After hearing Kenneth’s offer, the children huddled in a corner and started discussing.
Kenneth couldn’t help but laugh.
Children will always be children. How could they not be tempted by having a wish granted?
Since fate had brought them together, Kenneth took a liking to the children. Thus, he was ready to grant them whatever they ask.
Once the brothers completed their discussion, they returned to Kenneth’s side.
Feeling curious, Kenneth asked, “Have you made up your mind? What do you wish for?”
The brothers answered in unison, “Mister, we don’t want anything from you. Just a word of thanks will suffice.”
Kenneth couldn’t believe his ears.
“Erm…”
He had allowed them to ask for anything they wanted. Thus, he was surprised by their request.
“Is a word of thanks all that you want?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
“Yup.”
The brothers nodded at the same time while their eyes glistened with sincerity.
Due to his influential position, Kenneth always had people willing to serve him. Even when he owed someone something, he would quickly repay it with expensive gifts. Therefore, he realized that he had never thanked anyone in decades.
Hence, he was taken by surprise when the children only asked for a word of thanks instead of gifts.
Clearing his throat, Kenneth gathered himself and remarked with a struggle, “Th-Thank you.”
Clayton and Xavian replied with a smile, “Mister, don’t mention it. Mommy has taught us to always do good and not expect anything in return. After all, happiness derives from the simple things in life.”
Do good and not expect anything in return.
Pondering upon the children’s words, Kenneth figured that their mother was likely someone exceptional to have raised them up this way.
