Chapter 748 Impressed With Natasha

Looking at the worried look on Thalia's face, Natasha said, "I'm all right. Besides, you're aware of it, too, aren't you?"

Thalia blinked and bobbed her head in agreement. "Yeah. It hurts like mad when it acts up, but the feeling will disappear once it's over. Sometimes, we might even feel a little comfortable after that. I wonder if that's an illusion."

Natasha looked at her. "I guess that's how we respond after experiencing excruciating pain."

Thalia nodded. "The pain is extremely unbearable. I came over immediately once I heard about it from Spencer."

Natasha lowered her eyes and grinned. “I'm fine. Don't worry."

Upon noticing the injury on her arm, Thalia knitted her brows. "It's because of this incident, isn't it?"

Natasha glanced at the wound and kept mum.

Thalia responded with a sigh. "When will days like this come to an end..."

Natasha cast a look at her. "Isn't Spencer working on the antidote now?"

She had overheard the conversation between Kenneth and Spencer but did not pay much attention to it, as she had been too weak.

"Yes, he is, but we still have no clue if that's really the antidote..." Thalia raised her doubt.

Natasha lowered her gaze. "Let's just give him more time."

Thalia realized Natasha was comforting her. "I'm not worried for myself since I'm alone, and no one will feel sad for me. I'm worried about you because you have a family. You have kids and someone who loves you very much. I'm not a big fan of Kenneth, but I have to say he takes good care of you and is worthy of your love."

Natasha narrowed her eyes. "What makes you think no one will feel sad for you? Have you forgotten about Spencer?"

Thalia stared at the ground and murmured, "Spencer and I will never become like you and Kenneth. I'm not sure why I have this feeling, but somehow, there's something between us that keeps us apart."

After listening to Thalia, Natasha paused for a moment before responding, "Everyone has their unique way of interacting with others. You can't have the same relationship as Kenneth and I do, just as we can't have the same relationship as you all have. This is because my personality and yours are different and so are Kenneth's and Spencer's. Our distinct personalities naturally lead to different outcomes in our relationships, but that doesn't mean Spencer's love for you is any less."

Thalia looked up. "He has never expressed his feelings for me except when we're in a life-and-death situation. Have you noticed that? We're more like siblings than anything else."

"But it's only in life-and-death situations can we truly see a person's sincerity, isn't it?" Natasha asked in return.

"You're not wrong, but I don't want to hear his true feelings only in life-and-death situations. I want us to have a healthy relationship on regular days so that even if our time together is limited, I won't have any regrets," Thalia muttered.

"I understand where you're coming from. I could tell you're envious of my relationship with Kenneth," Natasha said.

Thalia froze before looking up. Natasha responded with a grin.

"You're such a narcissist, Natasha," Thalia said.

"Kenneth was right. You're truly envious of us!" Natasha nodded, affirming her earlier thought.

"Kenneth said that?" Upon hearing his name, Thalia instantly perked up, looking as though she was ready to fight.

"What's with that reaction? Are you going to beat him up?" Natasha asked.

"I might do that since I've beaten people up before!"

"Give him a break. Do you know he always advises Spencer to treat you well?"

"He probably was just trying to make a fool out of me!" Thalia could not imagine he would act with her best interests in mind.

"Kenneth is not as awful as you think." Natasha tried defusing the tension.

"Oh, please. Do you not know how people view him? He's not only seen as a womanizer but also as a ruthless man who shows no mercy and will use any means to achieve his goals," Thalia said clearly.

"Where did you hear these from?" Natasha asked.

"These rumors about him are everywhere!"

Natasha arched her brows and went deep in thought.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Thalia asked.

Natasha nodded. "Of course I believe you!"

"Yet, you still want to date someone like him?"

"I judge people by their actions, not rumors," Natasha defended Kenneth. "In fact, I know him better than anyone else."

"Have you forgotten what he did to you in the past?"

"Of course not, but he's making amends now," Natasha said.

Thalia pursed her lips. "If I were you, I would never forgive someone like him, no matter what excuses they had."

"I used to think that way, too," Natasha admitted. "But I can't help being drawn to a man like him. If I catch him doing something funny again, I'll break his legs and tie him to me. That way, I'll be able to keep an eye on him day and night."

Thalia glanced at Natasha and stuttered, "D-Do you have to go to that extent..."

"Of course!"

"Are you that obsessed with his looks?"

Natasha thought about it and answered, "Yes."

"Wow, Ms. Watson. I didn't know you're the kind of person who's obsessed with physical appearance!"

"Please, if I were a fan of handsome men, I would have pursued Spencer. I just like the way Kenneth looks!" Natasha corrected her.

Thalia inclined her head in response. "All right, I get what you mean."

"So, if Spencer doesn't obey you, you can consider what I suggested earlier." Natasha gave her a smirk.

Thalia looked at Natasha and said, "Why would I do that? I won't do such a thing to him..."

She might have said so, but her mind was already envisioning it.

A corner of Natasha's lip curled up.

"Kenneth is so strong. How are you going to break his leg, though?" Thalia asked.

"Drug him first, of course!" Natasha said. "Spencer gave me a kind of sleeping pill that would work well."

"You drugged him with that pill the other day, too?"

Although Thalia felt slightly awkward right after asking that, she steadied herself and maintained a neutral expression. As long as I don't feel awkward, it's up to others to feel that way.

Natasha responded with a faint smile. "Yes."

Realization dawned on Thalia. She looked at Natasha and gave her an awkward smile. "When Spencer barged into the room after you left, we sort of knew what you did..."

"It's all right. You were right," Natasha uttered.

Thalia looked at her, and for some reason, a look of envy flashed past her eyes.

"Here. This is for you." Natasha gave her the pills.

"I don't need them..." Yet, Thalia clenched the pills in her hand.

Natasha could not help but burst into laughter. Always saying one thing but meaning another is something women are good at!
