Kenneth forced Natasha to stay in bed all day.
The only things she could do were eat and sleep.
To her, sleep was a daily enjoyment for her. However, she felt burdened when she had someone watching over her.
Natasha tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She wanted to ask for some information but didn't even have a phone.
Just as she was considering if she should sneak out, the door creaked open, and Denise poked her head in.
It was like Natasha had seen an angel when she saw her.
“Denise.”
Denise looked around the room before her gaze landed on Natasha. “Daddy isn't here, is he?”
“He's not.”
Denise heaved a sigh of relief. She entered the room and carefully closed the door without a sound.
When Denise approached her, Natasha asked, “What is it?”
“Tony said that you would want to know what's happening outside this room, so he sent me to tell you about it,” she replied.
Warmth washed over Natasha when she heard that. Anthony is the one who knows me best.
“So, what's the latest?”
“Thalia hasn't woken up yet, and Spencer is still sitting by her bedside. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything and refuses to let anyone go into the room,” Denise explained with a frown.
Natasha's brows creased with worry.
Just then, Denise remembered something and looked up at her. “Oh, that reminds me. Tony said that Spencer seemed to be injured. But he refuses to let anyone take a look, so he's not sure.”
Natasha could not stand it anymore. She climbed out of bed and headed for the door.
“Are you going outside, Nat?”
“What else would I be doing?”
“What if Daddy finds out?”
“Do you think he will be able to do anything to me?” Natasha retorted.
Denise thought about it for a moment. Well, I guess it's true that he can't do anything.
Natasha put on a jacket and walked toward the door.
Because of the blood transfusion, she was feeling a little lightheaded when she stood up so suddenly. However, she was still able to hold herself up.
Seeing that Natasha was about to leave, Denise didn't dare to stay in the room any longer and ran after her.
“Wait for me, Nat.”
Anthony and Benjamin stood outside the room, looking around. They paced up and down with worried expressions on their faces.
“Is he still refusing to come out?” Natasha asked.
When Anthony noticed how pale her complexion and lips were, his brows furrowed deeply. “Why did you leave your room, Nat?”
She gazed at them. “I'm fine. How did you conclude that Spencer is injured?
After a long pause, Benjamin replied, “He had blood on him, and the stains were getting bigger. He is basically completely covered in blood now, which is a lot more than when he just came back.”
As soon as Natasha heard that, she understood what was going on.
She turned and headed toward Thalia's room. However, when she tried to open the door, she realized that it was locked.
She turned around. “Did he lock the door?”
Anthony nodded.
“Go find Dave and get the key,” Natasha said resolutely.
With her around, it was like they had a pillar of support.
Without another word, Benjamin immediately ran off to retrieve the key.
The rest of them stood at the door and waited. Seeing that Natasha was a little weak, Anthony went to support her. He looked at her worriedly. “Are you okay, Nat?”
She shook her head. “I'm okay.”
Denise went to Natasha's other side to help her up.
They were like obedient children, holding her up from each side.
Soon after, Benjamin returned with the key.
“Here's the key, Nat,” he said.
Natasha took it from him and walked to the door.
The kids followed after her, not daring to say a word.
Natasha pushed the key into the lock and threw the door open.
Suddenly, they heard Spencer's angry shout from inside the room. “Didn't I say no one is allowed in here?”
Natasha just stood at the door and said in a small voice, “Do you want to die?”
Spencer lifted his head at that. When he realized it was her, he reined in his emotions and fell silent, simply gazing at the person lying in bed.
Natasha walked over and looked at Spencer. Just like the kids had said, the bloodstain patches on his body had become larger.
She approached him and yanked at his clothes.
Spencer frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, “What are you doing?”
“I'm very weak right now. Cooperate if you don't want me to get injured!” she retorted.
Spencer stopped struggling as soon as the words left her mouth. However, he still threw in an unhappy comment. “Kenneth will misunderstand if he sees us like this.”
Natasha nonchalantly tugged at his clothes and replied without lifting her gaze, “He knows what I'm like, so there won't be a misunderstanding.” She took off his jacket and saw that his back was covered in injuries.
She furrowed her brows deeply.
After taking a moment to calm herself, she looked at him and asked, “Are you aware you're injured too, Spencer?”
He nonchalantly put his clothes back on and replied in a low voice, “Yes.”
“What are you doing, then?”
“It's just a small injury and nothing compared to hers.”
Natasha scoffed and glared at him coldly. “So, Thalia became this way to save you, yet you're going to let her efforts go to waste?”
Spencer frowned.
Natasha stared at him, continuing sarcastically, “If you knew it would come to this, why did you do it? The one thing you won't be able to control is the love you develop after going through a tragedy. If you don't want to waste Thalia's sacrifice, please be nicer to yourself. You may not want to hear this, but your life is no longer yours; it belongs to Thalia because she saved you. And what you are doing right now will not only not make you feel better, but it also will never repay Thalia for the sacrifice she made.”
Spencer remained silent.
However, as they had been friends for many years, Natasha knew he had absorbed her words.
After giving him a glance over, she lowered her gaze and added plainly, “This is good too. I hope that you will collapse right after she wakes up. It's fine because I will comfort her and help her to find a good man. After all, you're no decent guy yourself.” With that, she turned and left the room.
Despite how direct she had been, she was not wrong.
Spencer sat there in silence, balling his hands into fists.
Meanwhile, the kids stood at the door watching the scene, not daring to say a word.
Natasha immediately returned to her room after leaving.
She had been feeling a little weak from earlier, and after that confrontation with Spencer, she was feeling rather dizzy.
She leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Just then, the door opened, and someone walked in.
Without even opening her eyes, she spat, “Go away! Let him die for all I care!”
Right after she said that, someone placed a hand on her temple.
Her eyes snapped open. She sighed in relief when she saw who it was. “Oh, it's you. You scared me...”
