To his surprise, there were a few people in the ward.
Xavier, Ross, and Thomas were there to visit Natasha after they heard that something had happened to her. When they were joking with one another, the door opened with a bang, and they turned toward the door in surprise.
Kenneth stood at the door.
He had met Xavier, Ross, and Thomas before, so he knew that they were Natasha's colleagues.
A hint of awkwardness lingered in the air.
At that moment, Ross asked in a hushed voice, “Ms. Watson, do you hate each other this much?”
Natasha was speechless.
She glanced at Kenneth unhappily.
Thomas, who was sensible, chuckled and said, “Mr. Hamilton, are you here to visit
Ms. Watson too?” “Mm.” Kenneth nodded slightly. He was truly thick-skinned. Despite the awkwardness, he was able to act as if nothing had happened and walked into the ward.
“Haha! So are we,” Thomas replied with an awkward smile.
“You guys can go ahead first.” Kenneth gestured with his outstretched hand and walked toward the couch before sitting down.
Um... Do we need to line up on a first come first served basis when we visit someone in the hospital?
Thomas looked at Kenneth, who was sitting at the side. “Mr. Hamilton, would you like to go first?”
Kenneth lifted his head lazily to look at Thomas and acted like a gentleman. “It's fine. I have all the time in the world. Please go on.
Huh? How long did he mean by that?
Thomas didn't dare to ask it out loud, so he continued to smile awkwardly.
Right then, Ross looked at Natasha and asked her in a whisper, “Ms. Watson, he's not planning on doing something to you after we leave, right?”
Despite Ross' whisper, Kenneth could still hear him.
Kenneth raised his eyebrows slightly. He pretended not to hear it and took out his phone to do something.
Natasha looked at Ross. “How about you stay for a while?”
“I'm afraid that he'll do something to me later.”
If outsiders got involved with the grudge of prominent families, the former would be the ones to suffer.
Natasha rolled her eyes at Ross and continued their conversation earlier. “Why did you guys come here all of a sudden?”
“What do you mean? You haven't shown up in the office for two days, so we have to find out what's wrong! I only found out that something serious had happened to you after asking Denise about it!” Ross said. “Why didn't you tell us when something this major happened to you?”
“It's nothing serious. What's there to talk about?” Natasha didn't even think that it was a serious matter at all.
“Ms. Watson, you're a woman, after all. Can't you be a bit more feminine? You can't embarrass us men like this?”
Natasha frowned. “More feminine? How do I do that?”
“You know, be gentler and act cute when you speak. Natty wants to eat yummy food. Natty wants to go to bed. Something like that...”
“Natty is Peking pissed off?”
Ross was at a loss for words.
Kenneth, who was doing something at the side, couldn't help himself from chuckling when he heard what she said.
Natasha was the only one who could say something as crude as that with a straight face.
Such was her personality despite her angellike appearance.
However, at that moment, Kenneth couldn't help but think she was very adorable.
As soon as he chuckled, everyone looked in his direction.
He didn't lift his head. Instead, he looked at his phone seriously as if his chuckle had nothing to do with their conversation.
The rest of them looked away.
Ross turned to Natasha. “Just pretend that I never said that.”
Thomas said, “You're lucky that Natty didn't ask you to f*ck off!”
“I was going to say that,” Natasha said while looking at Thomas.
