Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 614

Chapter 614

Natasha came out of the room.

Kenneth was waiting right outside. When he saw her, he immediately walked up to her.

"How did it go?" the man asked with concern.

Shaking her head, she forced a smile and replied, "Everything is fine."

Perhaps Kenneth knew her too well that he could not help but feel that her gaze seemed a little different than usual.

"I'll go and check on Thalia," said Natasha.

He nodded. "Okay."

With that, she strode off. Looking at her retreating figure, he drew his brows together into a frown. Seconds later, he retracted his gaze and made his way into Spencer's laboratory.

Just as Natasha was about to reach Thalia's room, she bumped into Dave, who had walked up the stairs not too long ago.

"How's everything? Are you all right?" he asked.

Natasha, on the other hand, was scrutinizing him. Once she realized that he was unharmed, something became clear to her. "Yeah," she replied, nodding.

"Relax. Nothing will happen," Dave assured her.

Once again, she nodded, but that time around, there was a smile on her face as she spoke. "I hope so."

Without another word, he nodded and raised his leg, intending to leave.

Just then, Natasha called out, "Dave."

Dave turned around and looked at her. "Is there anything else?"

"Yesterday, when Kenneth went with you to sort out some matters regarding DX Group, did anything else happen?" she asked.

He was stunned momentarily. Then, his gaze went elsewhere before he answered, "No."

"That's good to know," Natasha responded with a smile. "That's all I wanted to ask."

With a pensive expression, Dave nodded and turned around to leave.

After taking a few steps, he seemed to have come to some realization. However, by the time he looked over his shoulder, all he saw was her walking away.

His brows puckered in a frown. A beat later, he continued to stride off.

Meanwhile, Kenneth entered the laboratory.

"How is it?" he asked as he eyed Spencer.

"How is what?" The latter shot back a question instead.

"Of course, I'm asking about the examination."

"For now, I can't replace any problems in the series of tests. To be honest, it's my first time encountering this type of poison. It's quite challenging, so I will require some time to do my research," said Spencer.

"How about the antidote?"

"I need some time before I can give you an answer."

Hearing that, Kenneth nodded. "All right, then."

Spencer no longer replied to him. Instead, he continued with his work and began to tinker with his equipment.

Kenneth pondered for a while before asking, "Did anything happen during the examination earlier on?"

Without looking up, Spencer inquired, "What exactly are you referring to?"

"There seemed to be something amiss with her when she came out, but I can't put my finger on it!" Kenneth replied with a frown.

"Did she?" Spencer retorted before lifting his eyes to glance at him with a nonchalant expression. "How come I didn't notice it?"

Kenneth looked at him and asked, "You didn't tell her anything, did you?"

"I know nothing. What can I possibly tell her?"

Still having his gaze on Spencer, Kenneth furrowed his brows.

When there was no response from him, Spencer continued, "Then again, Nat is an extremely intelligent woman. Although she doesn't have high emotional intelligence, she's very smart in every other aspect. There are some things you can hide from her for a while but not forever!"

His utterances had Kenneth directing his attention back to him.

Having made his point, Spencer announced, "All right. I'm starting my experiment, and I need silence."

In another word, he was chasing Kenneth away.

Kenneth shot a glance at him and asked, "How long do you need?"

"I can't be certain at the moment, but I will try my best."

Nodding, Kenneth cast his eyes downward before leaving without a word.

The moment he walked out, he met Dave.

"How is it?" the latter asked.

"I'm afraid he still needs a bit more time," Kenneth answered.

Dave nodded in response. Upon noticing the grim expression on the other man's face, he consoled him by saying, "Don't worry. Since it's claimed to be the antidote, then it should work. You have always been a lucky man. It shouldn't be any different this time around."

A wry smile touched Kenneth's lips. "I hope so."

Just then, Dave voiced tentatively, "There's one more thing."

"What is it?" Kenneth asked.

"The guys at DX Group want to meet you."

Kenneth was taken aback.

"After the last time, they knew everything. Since then, they have been insisting on meeting you. I... I really can't hold them back anymore. If you refuse to go to them, they may make their way here instead," said Dave.

Instead of replying to him, Kenneth knitted his brows.

"Kenneth, that matter happened so many years ago. It's time to let it go!" Dave advised.

Kenneth looked up at him.

"Furthermore, you're the only one who's blaming yourself for what happened. None of the guys nurse a grievance," Dave continued.

When Kenneth still did not respond, he nodded and said, "Fine. You shall make the decision yourself. Let's see if you'll hide when they replace you first or if you'll go and meet them."

A faint smile appeared on Kenneth's face. "What else can I say now?"

Dave narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's your decision, then?"

"I'll go," said Kenneth.

Dave was astonished but pleasantly surprised at the same time. After all, Kenneth had been avoiding DX Group for many years. As of then, he had finally given in.

"Well, you said so yourself. I'll let them know about it now. I'm sure they will be overjoyed," Dave uttered.

Kenneth gave the matter a thought before saying, "No need. We'll go over right away."

His response left Dave flabbergasted.

"Let me inform Nat. I'll meet you downstairs in a short while," said Kenneth.

Dave nodded. "Okay."

With that, Kenneth made his way over to Thalia's room.

At that moment, Natasha was chatting with Thalia inside the room.

After resting for a few days, Thalia felt much better.

"How are you? Are you doing okay?" she asked while looking at Natasha.

"Aren't I perfectly fine now?" the latter responded.

"But that night, you..." Thalia eyed her skeptically.

Natasha quirked her lips. "I got poisoned, that's all."

Thalia instantly froze. "Poison? What poison?"

"We aren't certain at the moment. Spencer is still doing his research. That's why he hasn't come over to see you," Natasha explained.

"So, you..."

"I'm fine."

After giving it some thought, Thalia looked at her. "Are the children aware of this?"

"No." Natasha shook her head with an indifferent expression. "I'm telling you this because I want you to take care of the three of them should anything untoward happens to me."

"Me?" Thalia frowned, looking as if she wanted to say something else.

"I know this request is very sudden. I don't mean to ask you to take up my responsibility. It's just that the three of them are exceptionally talented and thus would not resign to living ordinary lives. One day, they will leave Kenneth and the safety the Hamilton family can provide for them. Once they join Darknetz, there will be no other family members looking after them. I'll have to trouble you to look out for them when

the time comes!" Natasha said. Outwardly, she displayed no emotion. It was as if she was not talking about herself.

At that moment, it dawned on Thalia that Natasha was leaving instructions of her will. For her, it was a huge responsibility.
