Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

• "You're ungrateful, Natasha! Let me give you some advice. You'll be abandoned one day if you don't learn to control your temper," said Kenneth.

• "Thank you for your reminder. I will rather be single forever if I meet men like you."

• There was tension between the both of them.

•

With that, Natasha hung up the phone.

·

•

•

She was not angry, as she felt much better after shouting. She threw her phone to one side before closing her eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was infuriated.

He called her as he was worried for her. Never would he thought that she would mock him.

• This woman is really ungrateful!

• He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. However, he remained frustrated.

•

•

•

•

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and felt that Natasha was a boring person.

At this moment, Thea walked in. "Kenneth."

Seeing that Kenneth was smoking, Thea's lips curled into a faint smile. "It's not often that I see you smoking. What happened? Do you have something on your mind?" Kenneth snuffed out his cigarette and replied, "It's nothing."

"Why are you smoking if it's nothing? Are you trying to act cool?" Thea asked with a smile.

• She had to admit that Kenneth's smoking was mesmerizing.

• His every action held elegance. Even if he was smoking, it only made him look even more mysterious.

• Kenneth smiled and asked simply, "How's the surgery?"

• "It's very successful." Thea let out a sigh of relief.

•

Kenneth nodded. "That's good. Then, he will be discharged from the hospital soon."

• Thea nodded. "That's right. No matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what to do now."

"You've already said that many times. If you're grateful, show it with your actions."

• As Thea looked at him, a strange emotion flashed past her eyes. "How do you want me to repay you?"

• "I'll let you know once things are settled." With that, Kenneth glanced at his watch. "It's late. I'll take my leave first."

Even though she was reluctant to part with him, she knew she could not keep him here forever.

•

·

She nodded. "Take care of yourself."

•

"Call me if you need anything."

•

"Okay, I'll take your word for it," Thea replied.

•

Kenneth stood up and left.

• As Thea stared at his retreating figure, she swore to get him.

•

The next day, Natasha took a half-day sick leave and went to the hospital.

•

•

•

She believed that although what happened last night might have been a coincidence, things did not appear that simple.

In the hospital, the doctor accompanied Natasha to the ward.

"Gary is a poor guy. He has been in the hospital for so many years and is not in the right state of mind..." He noticed Gary's hospital bed was empty and asked the nurse, "Where's Gary?" "He's right here..." The nurse turned back. When he realized there was no one there, he was stunned. "He was here just a moment ago."

• "Oh no! Quick! Find him!" the doctor said.

• The nurse quickly ran out to call people to look for him.

• "Ms. Watson, please excuse me." With that, the doctor went to look for Gary too.

• The entire hospital was thrown into chaos.

• Natasha stood at the side of Gary's bed and did not gain any findings as he did not have many belongings.

• When she walked out, the doctor had returned and seemed to be on a call. "The surveillance footage showed that he had left the hospital. However, no one knows where he went after that." "Yes, yes. I'm looking for him right now."

•

After the doctor hung up the call, Natasha walked over and asked, "What happened? Did you guys manage to find him?"

•

The doctor had a hesitant look on his face. "He escaped and left the hospital. We don't know where he went."

• Natasha frowned.

• "Ms. Watson, please excuse me as I've to go find him." With that, the doctor left in a hurry.

•

Natasha did not find any useful information and left the hospital.

•

However, she was stopped by someone just when she was about to leave the hospital.

•

"Natasha?"

•

•

Hearing someone call her name, Natasha raised her head to look and saw a good-looking man staring at her.

Zachary smiled. "Why? Do you not recognize me?"

• Natasha pondered for a moment before answering, "Zachary?"

• "You still remember me," Zachary responded with a smile.

• "Of course. Denise often talks about you at home, saying that you haven't been to school for a long time."

·

Upon hearing that, Zachary lowered his eyes. "I went overseas to settle some family matters. I just returned today."

•

Natasha nodded. "There aren't any problems, are they?"

•

"They're settled."

• "That's great then."

• At this moment, Zachary looked at Natasha's foot. "What happened to you?"

•

"It's nothing. I twisted my ankle."

"Are you going back now?"

"Yeah. I'm heading back to the office."

•

"Let me give you a ride."

•

Natasha shook her head. "It's fine. I'll hail a cab."

·

Zachary gazed at her and offered sincerely, "Let me send you."

•

Natasha was not good at rejecting others' kind gestures, especially when it was from a handsome man.

•

"I hope I'm not troubling you."

•

"I settled my matters already. You're not troubling me."

• "Thank you, then."

•

Seeing that she had agreed, Zachary smiled. "The car is over there."

Then, Natasha slowly headed over to the other side.

• "I can support you." Zachary offered his arm.

Natasha merely glanced at him. "It's fine. It's not that serious." With that, she continued walking.

•

Zachary stared at Natasha's back, and his brows furrowed.

• In the car, Zachary was driving while Natasha sat beside him.

• "I haven't seen Denise in a long time. How is she?" Zachary asked.

• "She's doing fine, but she talks about you frequently," Natasha replied honestly.

• Zachary responded, "I miss her too."

•

Upon hearing that, Natasha smiled. "If she hears this, she will definitely be delighted."

•

"What about you?" Zachary questioned.

• "Eh? What?"

• "How are you doing?"

• "Not bad."

•

"Your hand is bandaged and you twisted your ankle?" Zachary raised his brows.

Natasha looked at herself. "This is hard to explain, but they're minor injuries. I'm fine."

•

Natasha's tone was light, and she appeared strong. It did not seem like she was faking it.

•

However, the more she was like this, the more people wanted to understand her and the stronger the desire to protect her.

•

Zachary remained silent. Soon, they reached her office.

•

Natasha glanced at him. "Thank you for sending me back. I'll head in first, then. Goodbye."

• "Ms. Watson." Zachary suddenly grabbed her hand.

•

Natasha turned back and looked at his hand, which was grabbing her. Zachary realized it was abrupt of him and let go of her.

"Is there anything else?" Natasha questioned.

•

Zachary stared at her. After much hesitation, he asked, "Are you angry at me?"

•

"Angry? Why?" Natasha was confused.

• "Because I didn't say anything and disappeared for a long time," Zachary responde
