Chapter 109
• Similarly, Natasha saw Caroline as well.
• The last time when Natasha saw Caroline in the corridor, the latter was crying too much. All her focus was on Thea, and she didn't notice Natasha at all at that time. At that moment, however, Caroline looked surprised when she saw Natasha.
•
Natasha could almost guess what she was thinking. However, she acted as if she didn't know Caroline and turned to walk into her ward. She had no intention of wasting her energy on those who had nothing to do with her.
•
She raised her brows slightly when she saw that Kenneth was still in the room. "Mr. Hamilton, did you come into the wrong room?"
•
She sounded as if she was pushing him far away.
•
You were still laughing and joking around with your colleagues earlier, but when you're facing me, all you give me is that cold look.
•
"No," Kenneth replied.
•
Natasha walked back to the hospital bed and sat down before looking at him again. "So? What brings you here?"
• She was able to make him angry with just a few words.
• "Do I need a reason to visit a patient?" Kenneth asked through clenched teeth.
•
Natasha smiled mockingly. "Mr. Hamilton, you didn't even bring anything with you. Should I say that you're at a whole other level, or you've always been this insincere?"
Glancing at the table, which was full of flowers, fruits, and food, he walked over. "What? Do you even care about these?"
•
Natasha remained silent and merely looked at him as if she wanted him to figure it out himself.
• Truth be told, she didn't care about those at all.
• However, she felt good that she could use that opportunity to criticize him.
• Kenneth nodded at her in understanding.
•
When he was rushing over, all he thought about was her safety, so he didn't really consider that.
• He took out his phone from his pocket, sent a message, and put it away again.
• Natasha remained silent at the side and didn't care what he did because she wasn't interested at all.
•
Half an hour had passed.
• The ward was filled up with flowers starting from the door.
• There were also a lot of flowers on the wall on the other side of her bed.
· In a flash, the sweet scent of flowers filled the entire room.
•
•
Kenneth nodded in satisfaction, and there was a smug look on his face. He turned to Natasha, who was sitting on the bed. "What do you think? Do you like it?" Natasha was bereft of speech.
•
"Are you holding a memorial ceremony for me, or what?"
•
The position and color of the flowers truly fit the criteria.
•
•
Kenneth frowned in confusion. "Didn't you say that you like it?"
Natasha took a deep breath and looked elsewhere.
She wanted some peace and quiet.
• Kenneth walked toward her and looked at her. "I was in a rush when I came because I was afraid that something would happen to you. That's why I didn't think about it. If you like flowers, I'll buy them the next time I visit."
• He's worried about me?
• Natasha turned to him and looked at him in disbelief as if she had discovered something new. "Mr. Hamilton, are you sure that you aren't having a fever, or you aren't mistaking me for someone else?" • As soon as she said that, tension filled the air.
• Kenneth narrowed his eyes and said in a deep and hoarse voice, "Natasha, I'm well aware of who I'm speaking to!"
• Natasha smirked. "Then... are you having a seizure?"
• Kenneth was exasperated. Natasha always seemed to have a way of making him mad with only a few words.
He let out a light chuckle as he stared at her intently. "Natasha, am I really that kind of person in your eyes?"
• Natasha nodded unsurprisingly. "Yeah. You've done things that are worse than this. Don't you know yourself at all?"
•
•
Kenneth didn't know what to reply to that.
After a while, he defended himself, saying, "You're talking about the past."
• "I don't see any difference," Natasha said matter-of-factly.
• "That's because you don't understand me."
• "Sometimes, we only need to give one a shot at understanding someone in our lifetime," Natasha said coldly, standing her ground.
•
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and looked straight at her. "Oh, really? Why are you trying to get discharged, then?"
•
Natasha froze for a moment, her eyes pinned on him. "Who told you that?"
·
"Is that important?"
•
·
Natasha looked at him. "Well, it's not. Why, do you think I want to get out of the hospital because of you?"
Kenneth pursed his lips. However, the answer to her question was self-evident.
Natasha smiled. "Mr. Hamilton, when did you become so self-absorbed?"
Kenneth's eyes darkened. Quirking his lips, he asked, "Am I? Why don't you tell me your reason for wanting to get discharged, then?"
• "I have my reasons, and it has nothing to do with you."
•
Obviously, Kenneth didn't believe what she said.
• However, Natasha didn't care if he believed her.
• "Thea is nothing more than just a friend to me," Kenneth said abruptly, looking at her.
• Natasha looked stunned. "You don't have to explain your relationship to me."
"I just don't want you to misunderstand."
• "Is that important?"
• "Of course!"
•
"Why?"
·
"Because..."
•
Kenneth was about to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat.
•
He looked at her, and his gaze turned serious.
•
Natasha looked at him, too. It was as if they were having a silent confrontation.
• Time seemed to have stopped at that moment, and Natasha could even hear the strong thumping of Kenneth's heartbeat.
·
It was as if each thump of his heart was telling her something.
No one knew how much time had passed. Kenneth withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "There isn't any specific reason. I just want to tell you the truth." Natasha chuckled sarcastically.
Despite her little and beautiful face, she was like a thorny rose.
• Kenneth admitted that he couldn't do anything about her.
• He turned and walked out of the room. "I'm going out for a smoke."
• After seeing his figure off, Natasha didn't want to care about him anymore. She lay down and fell asleep immediately after.
•
Meanwhile, Anthony and Thalia went back to the hospital after their meal. Both of them stayed in the car as they watched the live surveillance footage of the corridor.
• "We can't put our plan into action if he's here every day!" Thalia complained as she looked at Kenneth, who was smoking, from the surveillance footage.
·
Anthony frowned as he considered that.
• However, he had no way of confronting Kenneth and telling the latter about that at that moment.
• Thalia's lips curled upward as she looked at Kenneth. "You know... Other than the fact that he's perfect, he even looks so handsome when he's smoking. It's like that cigarette has been sublimated in his hands. He makes me want to smoke right now."
Anthony looked at her. The look in his eyes was as if he was asking her, "Are you an idiot?"
Thalia didn't mind it at all. She continued to stare at the live footage. "I'll bet a hundred with you. He's interested in your mommy."
