Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 599

Chapter 599

Spencer walked to the bedside and looked at her, saying in a tense voice, "Eat something."

Thalia scrutinized him. "I thought you've disappeared again!"

He withdrew his gaze and said emotionlessly, "I won't go anywhere before you recover."

She grasped the opportunity and threatened, "You'd better keep your word."

Spencer remained silent and fed her a spoonful of something.

Thalia opened her mouth to eat it.

Just like that, Spencer continued feeding her with great patience.

After several spoonfuls, Thalia suddenly asked, "Why are those people trying to kill you?"

"It's nothing serious. You don't have to bother about that," said Spencer.

Thalia stared at him but did not react much toward his words. "If you refuse to tell me, I will replace the truth on my own."

He stiffened at that and raised his gaze to the person lying in bed. Thalia was also staring at him as she said, "You know that I mean every word I said."

She was right, and Spencer was aware about that.

Thalia had always been decisive and persistent in getting things done, and no one could stop her once she was determined to do something.

After some consideration, Spencer fixed his gaze on her. The frosty glint in his dark eyes gradually dimmed as he said, "A few years ago when I traveled in that area, they offered me a huge sum of money to save someone's life. I agreed. But when I arrived there, I found out their boss' son was poisoned for the evil deeds he committed. The one who poisoned him was begging me not to save him..." Spencer's expression looked troubled at the mention of that.

"What happened next?" Thalia asked.

"I didn't save him."

She looked at him. "Why?"

"The person who begged me took their own life right before my eyes," Spencer said. There was no extra emotion in his tone, but a hint of pity flashed across his charming face.

Thalia knew the man to a certain extent. He had superb medical skills and strictly followed his heart's desire, whether it was for money or something else. People like him were used to life-and-death situations, so there must be other reasons for him to pity another person.

"It seems that the boss' son had truly done evil things for the victim to threaten you with their life," said Thalia calmly. "Did you know the person who took their own life?"

Spencer shook his head. "I didn't."

"You aren't someone who will pity another person for no reason. For you to react like that... there must be other reasons." Thalia stared straight at him.

Spencer was slightly taken aback, but he remained silent.

"Was it a woman?" Thalia raised a brow.

He still remained silent, which was a tacit confirmation to Thalia's speculation.

"I guess I'm right about that. Was she beautiful?" Thalia continued raising her brows, and there was a hint of annoyance in her tone.

"Mhm." It took Spencer a very long time to finally respond to her question.

Hearing that, Thalia immediately frowned. "Spencer, since you were attracted to her, why didn't you save her?"

"I was not attracted to her," said Spencer.

"Then why did you pity her?"

"She looked like you," Spencer suddenly said.

Thalia was on the verge of losing her temper, but when she heard Spencer saying that, she was stunned. She stared blankly at him. "W-What did you say?"

Spencer continued explaining, "That guy killed her entire family. Her sisters were all violated before they were killed. She got to survive because she was the prettiest, which was how she got to take her revenge!"

Thalia blinked in disbelief. "Are you saying you pitied her because she looked like me?"

He remained silent, indicating that she was right.

Thalia stared at him. Then, she smiled in relief before saying, "If that's the case, he deserved to die. You did the right thing by not saving his life."

He stopped saying anything and continued feeding her.

"I will wipe out all of them when there's a chance!" said Thalia angrily, enunciating every word.

Spencer was startled for a second staring sharply at her.

"What's wrong? Thalia asked.

"You can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're powerful?"

"Of course not. I—"

"I don't care what excuses you have. You can't go," said Spencer.

Thalia frowned. She was upset at his attitude at first, but on second thought, she uttered, "Fine. I won't go, but you'll have to stay here and watch me all the time. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen when you're away."

Spencer looked at her and stopped saying anything. Instead, he continued feeding her.

The look in Thalia's eyes turned tender when she looked at him again.

After all, it had been a long time since they got to spend time alone like this.

The mere thought of him being in love with her was enough to lift her spirits. To her, nothing else mattered.

Thalia soon grew tired after eating something and staring at him all the time.

"Spencer."

"Hmm?"

"I'm tired. I want to get some sleep," said Thalia.

Spencer placed the bowl down. "Sure. Get some rest then."

He was about to leave when she suddenly reached out to hold his hand.

"Don't go," she murmured.

Looking at her hand in his, Spencer pursed his lips. "I'm not leaving. I'll stay here."

Upon hearing that, she was finally at ease.

After being awake for too long, she was tuckered out and immediately fell soundly asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Following that, Spencer's emotionless gaze was soon filled with endless affection. At the same time, his eyes were shining with a discreet glint of morbid fascination.

"Thalia, if you replace out the truth one day, I'm sure you won't treat me like this anymore," he murmured. Then, his lips curled to form a self-deprecating grin.

Meanwhile, the person lying in bed was still sleeping soundly.

Outside, Natasha was on the phone with Terence. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I lost my phone, but I'm with Kenneth now. We planned to return yesterday, but something happened to Thalia. Don't worry. It won't be long. We will return shortly. All right. I get it. Grandpa, don't worry about us."

After ending the phone call, Natasha heaved a sigh of relief.

Kenneth walked over to her and hugged her from behind.

"What's the matter?" he asked in a low voice.

"What else? Grandpa is worried because we didn't return when we told him earlier we were going back," said Natasha.

Kenneth was still holding her in his arms as he whispered to her, "I'll bring you home in two days. I swear."

Natasha nodded in response. "I know."

"It's getting late. You should go home and get some rest," said Kenneth.

Then, Natasha turned around and looked him up and down before asking, "What about you?"

Kenneth narrowed his eyes and tightened his arms around her, asking teasingly, "What's wrong? Do you want to get some rest with me?"

Natasha chuckled and gazed at him. "What are you talking about? Are you heading out?"
