Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 721

Chapter 721 That Is Why I Am Extraordinary

Natasha's exquisite features made her seem even more attractive when she smiled.

Alexia looked at her. So what if she's pretty? I don't believe my savior is shallow and only looks at one's appearance.

Once she regained her senses, she asked, "What are you smiling at?"

Natasha's red lips were curled into a half-hearted smile, and there was an indescribably dark look in her eyes. A moment later, she suddenly put her smile away and stared at Alexia fixedly. "I will never leave him, ever."

"Why?" Alexia knitted her brows.

After some thought, Natasha responded, "Probably because I like jerks."

"You" Surprisingly, words eluded Alexia.

She stared at Natasha and could not believe a shameless woman like the latter existed.

Mike, who was in front of them, kept his gaze on the road while holding back his laughter. As a wise man, he knew that Natasha was trying to agitate Alexia so the latter would not fall asleep. He did not expect to hear that from Natasha, though. No way! I have to remember all this and tell Kenneth after this.

The car sped down the road.

Because of the conversation with Natasha, Alexia was so pissed off that she managed to hang on until they arrived at the base.

A group of people rushed up to the car right after the vehicle stopped.

"What's the situation?" the doctor at the base asked.

"She was shot in the back. It shouldn't have hit her vitals, but she lost too much blood along the way," Natasha explained Alexia's condition to the doctor.

The doctor nodded in response and ordered the person behind him, "Have someone prepare a blood transfusion, and get two other people to come and assist me in removing the bullet."

The assistant nodded.

"Wait," Alexia said before she was wheeled away.

Once the gurney stopped, she stared at Natasha angrily and said, "I won't let you hurt my savior."

Natasha simply smiled in response.

"Just wheel her into the operating room," Mike told the doctor.

It was only then the doctor pushed Alexia away.

Just then, someone brought two bottles of water over. "Natasha, yours." Mike handed one to Natasha.

Natasha glanced at the bottle before taking it over. "Thank you."

Mike unscrewed the cap and took a sip of water before looking at her. "Please don't mind Alexia. She grew up in our base, and all of us tend to give in to her because of her young age. Despite being a little spoiled, she has no bad intentions. It's just that she's deeply obsessed with Kenneth."

Natasha flashed him a smile upon hearing that. "Well, I can understand that. If the person we meet when young is too stunning, we can't forget them even after years have gone by."

"Are you not angry?" Mike asked.

"Why should I be?" Natasha asked in return.

Mike was rendered speechless. Then, he replied, "Don't ordinary women usually get mad in this situation?"

"That's why I am extraordinary."

Words eluded Mike when he heard that.

Taking in the dumbfounded expression on his face, Natasha chuckled. "I'm just kidding."

Mike immediately spoke. "No, no, no. You really are extraordinary. Otherwise, Kenneth wouldn't be so submissive to you."

"Is he now?" Natasha asked.

Mike nodded. "Yes, of course. Kenneth was not like this when I first started following him years ago. He used to always act as he pleased and only fooled around with the girls who threw themselves at him. Never has he ever taken them seriously."

"Fooled around?"

Abruptly realizing he might have spoken out of line, Mike shot her a glance. "Ugh, that's not what I mean. I'm only trying to say that... Kenneth never took them seriously."

"Oh, I see." Natasha pretended to nod thoughtfully. The look in her eyes was signaling that she had misunderstood something, though.

"Natasha, seriously, that's not what I meant," Mike tried to explain.

"Even if it's true, it does not matter."

"No, no, no. Kenneth will skin me alive if he knows about this!" said Mike.

Seeing how nervous he was, Natasha let out a chuckle. "I'm just kidding."

Mike was stunned by her words. "Really?"

Natasha nodded in response.

Only then did Mike heave a sigh of relief. "Glad to hear that."

He unscrewed the cap and took another sip of water. I'd better talk less. It's true that one is bound to make more mistakes the more one speaks.

Regardless, after their friendly banter, Mike could finally relax his tensed body.

Suddenly, Natasha looked up at the moon hanging in the sky. Her gaze was unfathomable as she murmured, "I wonder how Kenneth is doing."

"Yeah. I wonder how they're doing," said Mike with concern.

The next moment, something occurred to Natasha, and she turned to Mike. "How far away is Dave from here?"

Without hesitation, Mike replied, "It will take half an hour to drive there, at least."

Natasha raised her wrist and checked the time. "Kenneth should need about the same time to reach there too. Let's go over there."

"Huh?" Mike looked at her in confusion.

"Or you stay here to take care of Alexia and give me the car key," Natasha said.

"But, Natasha, Kenneth repeatedly reminded me to make sure you were safe before he left..." Mike hesitated.

"So?" Natasha queried.

Staring at Natasha, Mike decided to go all out, especially when he saw the determination in her eyes. "So, don't worry. I will protect you well. Let's go!"

"Good man." A smirk appeared on Natasha's face.

With that, she got into the car.

Mike froze in his spot as Kenneth's words lingered in his mind. D*mn! Kenneth instructed me to make sure Natasha was safe. Why did I say yes to her now?

Although he was starting to regret agreeing with Natasha, he was worried about the situation on Kenneth's side, too. Argh! Whatever! Let's go over there first.

He got into the car, started the engine, and sped off.

Natasha stared at the screen on her phone along the way, but there was still no news from Kenneth.

Mike caught sight of that and picked up his phone to make a call. However, Natasha immediately stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm calling Luke to see if I can get in touch with him now."

Upon hearing that, Natasha quickly snatched his phone away and hung it up.

"Natasha..." Her action dumbfounded Mike.

Natasha glanced at him before returning the phone. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything else, but you can't make this call."

"W-Why?"

"You have been unable to contact them because there's a signal jammer there. The reason Kenneth snatched the boss' phone is that the detonation is controlled by the phone. If the signal jammer is turned off and someone over there answers a call, it will set off the explosive there."

Mike widened his eyes in shock. If my call had gotten through, then...

He swallowed hard with fear before saying, "T-Then..."

"Anyway, it's not advisable to contact them by phone now. If the danger over there has been dealt with, Kenneth will naturally contact us," said Natasha.

Mike quickly nodded at her words. "Yes, yes. That's right. Luckily, you're smart, Natasha. Otherwise, they might have gotten hurt because of me."

"We must hurry up. I hope they are all okay." Natasha stared out the window intently.

"Sure." Mike nodded and sped up right away.
