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.
