Chapter 292
When Natasha and Kenneth returned to the hospital, it was already close to midnight.
Denise was still experiencing a mild fever, and she dozed off again after eating some food.
Anthony, Benjamin, and Thalia stayed inside the ward the whole time.
Anthony and Benjamin were wide awake while Thalia was sound asleep without a care.
When Natasha and Kenneth entered the room, Anthony leaped to his feet. “You're back, Nat?”
Perhaps it was a huge commotion.
Thalia jolted awake and nearly slid off the couch.
She scanned her surroundings groggily and felt relieved when she noticed the newcomers were Natasha and Kenneth.
“Yes!” Natasha nodded at Anthony and Benjamin. Then, she shifted her gaze onto Thalia and tossed her the car keys. “Thank you!”
Thalia received the car keys and yawned. “You're welcome!”
Staring at his mother, Anthony walked over and asked, “Nat, where is she?”
Natasha's eyes gleamed as she replied honestly, “She's with Hans!”
Anthony was stunned.
It seems that Mommy not only hacked Han's phone but also anticipated his movements. She even led Thea to him.
Mommy is truly living up to her
reputation.
Anthony smiled sheepishly and fell silent.
At that moment, Thalia piped up, “You arranged for them to be together?”
Natasha nodded.
Thalia could not resist giving Natasha the thumbs up. “Amazing! I reckon Thea will be exasperated beyond measure.
Thea has always put on a pure and virtuous pretense. Now that she's tied together with a man like Hans, waiting to be discovered by others... I suppose she'll lose her mind when she realizes that.
Natasha did not consider that matter from that perspective. She merely uttered nonchalantly, “I hope she still has the energy to be mad.” With that, she strode directly toward Denise.
Natasha's gaze softened as she looked at the girl lying on the bed.
Thalia turned to Anthony and Benjamin and whispered, “Your mother is ruthless.”
“Thea brought that upon herself after all the sins she committed,” Anthony said.
Benjamin chimed in as well, “Is she ruthless? I think Mommy is too generous for sparing her life!”
Thalia was rendered speechless.
What's the matter with this family? They're all merciless and brutal.
However, on second thought, Thalia agreed that Thea deserved to die.
Even in their field of profession, they would not lay a finger on the family members of their targets.
Outrageously, Thea had tried to harm a child. Her actions were simply inhumane.
Considering that, she thought sparing Thea's life was indeed an act of generosity.
Despite Darknetz's prohibition for its members to kill the innocent, Thalia might have chosen to end Thea's life if she had been in that position.
At that moment, Kenneth turned to look in their direction and walked over. “All right, it's getting late now. Anthony, Benjamin, you two should go back earlier and get some rest. It'll be sufficient for your mommy and me to stay here and take care of Denise in the hospital.”
Hearing that, Anthony gazed at Denise and said, “I'm not tired. I'll just
wait here.”
He could not stop worrying about Denise until she made a complete recovery.
He was truly a little perturbed after that incident. Fortunately, they managed to retrieve Denise. Otherwise, Anthony dared not imagine the consequences.
Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Yes. I can't sleep even if I'm back home. I'll be more at ease waiting here.”
Kenneth uttered, “I know you two are worried about Denise, but you two are still growing up. You need plenty of rest. Besides, Denise is fine now, isn't she?”
Anthony looked in Natasha's and Denise's direction with a frown.
Right then, Natasha piped up, “Your
Great-grandpa is still uninformed about Denise's condition. He's been calling me the whole day. You two should go back and update him so that he's not distraught.”
The two kids had no choice but to agree compliantly since Natasha had spoken. “Okay. We got it.”
Following Natasha's instruction, Anthony, Benjamin, and Thalia left together.
Kenneth walked up to Natasha after they were gone.
Denise was sleeping. Natasha used a piece of cloth to wipe the little girl's hands gently, which Kenneth had never seen on Natasha.
After hesitating briefly, Kenneth said, “Anthony and Benjamin don't seem to be afraid of me.”
“Do you want them to fear you?” Natasha responded without looking up.
“That's not what I meant. But they seem more inclined to oblige you.”
“Do you think I've raised them in vain?” Pausing slightly, she added, “Even so, Denise relies on you more.”
Kenneth raised his brow at the mention of that. He felt Natasha's statement was accurate.
At that thought, he made peace with Anthony and Benjamin's partiality.
Just like that, time ticked by.
Natasha and Kenneth each sat on one side of Denise's bed.
Natasha would glance at her daughter from time to time, patting her head and tucking her in. Her distress was clearly reflected in her facial expression.
When Kenneth reunited with Natasha, she had always been wearing a cool and indifferent mien. Although she had given birth to three children, it was not apparent to others that she was a mother.
Therefore, he had never considered raising a child an arduous task. However, at that moment, it suddenly dawned on him that Natasha had survived all those years that way.
Whenever the three children suffered from headaches or fever, she would have to take care of them tirelessly and keep them company, just like what she was doing now.
With that thought in mind, Kenneth's heart throbbed painfully.
“Nat...” Kenneth said all of a sudden.
“Yes?” “You must have gone through a lot of difficulties in the past, taking care of the three kids.”
Natasha froze momentarily in her action of tucking Denise in. She gazed up at Kenneth and noticed him regarding her with a sympathetic look.
She was dazed for a few seconds before she curled her lips. “It was all right.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Attending to one child is taxing enough, not to mention three,” he said.
“They are very obedient and have never caused me any trouble since they had their thoughts.”
“Even the most well-behaved child requires plenty of care.” Kenneth
gazed at her. “Thank you for the hard work and dedication all these years, Nat.”
Natasha slightly pursed her lips without saying a word.
“I know I have the better end of the deal, but don't worry because no matter what happens in the future, I'll stay by your side,” he said to her in an undertone.
At the mention of that, she stayed quiet for a few moments before meeting his eyes with a firm and determined look. “Kenneth, I hope you will always prioritize and ensure the three children's safety regardless of what may happen from now on.”
“Of course,” he agreed.
“You must provide them a safe and healthy environment to grow up in.”
“I couldn't be happier if you're willing to give me this opportunity to look after them!”
Natasha merely bore her eyes into him in silence afterward.
She believed Kenneth would live up to his promises and become a good father.
Therefore, Natasha could rest assured in letting him handle the three kids.
