Chapter 731 Odd Feelings

Natasha nodded her head helplessly when she heard that and said, "Okay. I understand."

Thalia raised her brows dubiously and looked at Natasha after hearing her reply. "You... really understand?"

"Yeah!" Natasha nodded again.

In the past three years, when Thalia tried to "threaten" Shadow Seeker, who was Natasha, Natasha would either ignore or retaliate by hitting back. But now, the same Natasha actually said she understood? Thalia was confused.

Is this really the famous Shadow Seeker in front of me? I don't think they're the same person.

Thalia had achieved what she wanted. She said, "All right. I won't say much since you already understood." She then looked at the three kids standing not far behind Natasha, and at the same time, they were looking at her as well.

Seeing that, Thalia knitted her brows and looked at Natasha, speaking at a volume that only both of them could hear. "There's something else, and I think you need to prepare yourself for this..."

"What is it?"

Thalia looked behind Natasha and lowered her volume more. "Your kids are not easy to fool. I almost went crazy because of them in these past few days. I think they'll surely replace a way to get things out of me it this goes on."

This time, Natasha turned her head and looked behind her, and Thalia immediately grabbed her. "Don't do that! They'll know we're talking about them if you do!"

Natasha felt something in her heart when that happened. She lowered her gaze and looked at the arms that Thalia was grabbing. She never had any close bodily contact with any woman before, so there was a weird sensation in her heart when it happened.

However, she didn't seem displeased.

"I almost slipped up in front of them today! I don't think I can handle this anymore," Thalia said as she shook her head, but Natasha did not reply to her.

"What's wrong?" Thalia asked when she noticed Natasha was quiet.

Natasha finally came back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing."

"I think the three of them already sensed something was amiss, but they couldn't ask anyone else about it, so they came to me," Thalia said, helpless.

"I'll deal with this," Natasha replied.

"Really?" Thalia looked at Natasha, and she nodded.

"Will you tell them the truth?" Thalia asked, and this time, Natasha shook her head.

"No. I know what I'm doing is selfish as a parent, but I really don't want them to be sad. If delaying the news for a day means that I could see their smile for one more day, then I will."

Thalia nodded when she heard that. "I understand. Don't worry. I won't tell them no matter what."

Natasha smiled at Thalia.

Just when this happened, the door was opened, and the doctor walked out. "I'll come back again tomorrow for a follow-up."

"Thank you, and have a safe trip home," Dave said as he nodded, and the doctor nodded as well before he turned and left.

A few of them immediately went over to Dave after that.

"Mr. Dave, how is Daddy?" Denise was the first one to ask him.

Dave reached out his head and patted her head while looking at her. "Your daddy is strong, so he's fine now. It was just a scratch. He'll be fine after resting for a few days."

"Really?"

"Of course," Dave replied in a low voice. He always had immense patience for her.

"I'm going in to see Daddy." Denise ran into the room after saying that.

As for Anthony and Benjamin, they didn't enter the room. They simply stood by the door and waited for Natasha.

Natasha then walked in front of them, and they called out to her. "Nat."

Natasha nodded with that. "Let's go in."

After that, they all went in.

Denise looked at the bedridden Kenneth when she entered the room, and she was stunned.

"Daddy..."

"He's fine. He's just sleeping," Spencer replied.

Denise was only relieved when she heard that. Her gaze then moved back to the man on the bed. Kenneth was now pale, and her heart ached when she saw him in that state.

Natasha came in after that. Seeing how deeply asleep Kenneth was, she asked, "How is he?"

Spencer immediately took off his blood-stained gloves and threw them in the bin. He replied while he was cleaning up the mess. "It's nothing. It's just a scratch, and I've already stitched him up. However, he was bleeding a lot... Honestly, I don't know how he could endure that during that journey back home. A normal person would have fainted by then. Well, don't worry too much. Based on his physique, he should be fine after sleeping through it."

Upon hearing that, Natasha finally felt relieved.

She knew that Kenneth was enduring the pain. In fact, he was just so happy to see that Dave was still alive and that happiness made him endure the pain on his way back.

Seeing that Natasha stayed silent, Spencer consoled her, "Don't worry. He'll be fine."

She nodded. "Yeah. I know."

"Well, I'm going to wash up. You guys should keep him company and let me know if anything happens."

Natasha nodded again. "Okay."

After that, Spencer didn't extend his stay and got up to leave the room.

Dave also started when he saw that. "I'm going to visit Alexia at the base. Call me if you need anything."

Natasha nodded her head again, and Dave left with that.

Thalia was still standing by the door and was not planning on leaving until Spencer walked through the door and looked at her. "Why are you staying here for?"

"I..." Thalia was about to say something, but she only saw Spencer's back figure when she came back to her senses. She quickly followed behind him. "Wait up!"

Only the kids, Natasha, and Kenneth were left in the room now.

Denise was standing by Kenneth's bedside while holding his hand as she looked at him worriedly. Her gaze was full of pain.

Meanwhile, Anthony looked at Natasha and said, "Nat. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Natasha just shook her head and replied, "I'm fine."

Both Anthony and Benjamin nodded when she said that. After that, Benjamin took a chair over and said, "Nat, you should sit."

Natasha sat down, but before she could sit properly, she heard Benjamin pretend to ask casually, "Mommy, how did Daddy get hurt?"

Denise turned and looked at Natasha when Benjamin asked that, and Natasha knitted her brows.

She knew what they were thinking all too well. She knew what they were going to ask.

"To save me," Natasha replied flatly.

"Huh? What's going on?" Benjamin and Anthony knitted their brows as well.

"An explosion happened when we were out, and a huge rock crashed into him when he was trying to protect me," she explained.

Anthony never thought something like this would happen. He immediately walked over and examined her with an anxious expression, afraid that he would miss anything, but Natasha quickly stopped him.

"I'm really fine."

"How did the explosion happen?" Anthony asked.

Natasha looked at them and thought for a long while before she said, "Anthony, Benjamin, Denise. There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"
