Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598

Natasha smiled when she caught sight of Thalia's determined expression.

“Truth be told, I would do the same if I were in your position,” Natasha said. “It's not like I insist on being together. If something came up, he could've just told me, and I would calmly break up with him. The one thing I absolutely cannot accept is his foolish self-proclaimed behavior of doing it for my own good.”

Thalia smiled slightly in response. “I agree.”

The two of them then grinned at each other.

They did not expect to share a similar mindset when it came to matters of love.

“So I believe you'll definitely be able to make Spencer come clean with you,” Natasha said.

Thalia's eyelashes fluttered as she blinked at Natasha. “Yeah.”

“Get a good rest. I'll go check things out for a bit.” Natasha then stood up and ordered the three children, “Stay here and don't make too much noise. Let Thalia rest!”

“Okay!” the three children chorused.

Natasha gave them one last look before turning around and leaving the room.

“Thank you.”

Stunned, Natasha turned around to look at Thalia. “For what?”

“I don't know. Make of that what you will,” Thalia replied.

Natasha's lips quirked up, and she turned around and left.

Thalia took a deep breath as she stared at Natasha's retreating figure. She felt as if something inside her had loosened, thus enabling her to feel more relaxed.

Anthony looked at her. “Thalia, how do you feel? Are you okay?”

Thalia frowned. “I'm feeling all right. I'm just... a tad hungry.”

The children were rendered speechless.

It's a good thing if you can feel hungry!

“I'll go and see if they have any food outside,” Denise said.

“It's fine,” Thalia responded.

“Didn't you say you were hungry?”

“Spencer will bring me something when he returns.”

Thalia could not be certain that Spencer loved her. However, she was sure he would do anything for her, and that included sacrificing his own life. He had always done so. She had fallen for him so easily because she had thought that he loved her. Yet the truth was hard to swallow when he had told her that what he felt for her was familial affection.

No matter what, Spencer had never changed his attitude toward her.

“Are you sure?” Denise looked at her.

Thalia nodded in response. “Yes.”

Denise smiled mischievously.

“What's going on between you and Spencer? Why were you so badly hurt?” Anthony piped up.

Thalia sighed. “I just can't catch a break!”

“Did you sacrifice yourself for the sake of love?” Benjamin asked.

Thalia shot him a glance. “You lot are still so young. What do you know about love?”

“Hurry up and tell us! We were so worried!” Anthony cried out.

“When we got separated in the uninhabited zone, I headed straight to Tyrandas in order to avoid Spencer. I didn't expect him to follow me there. When we were there, we encountered some of his enemies while we were having a meal at a restaurant and saw someone trying to sneak an attack. I tried to help—”

“Help?” Benjamin sneered when he heard her words. “I didn't know using your own body as a shield was considered helping.”

Glancing at Benjamin, Thalia replied, “You seem to have become ruder in the few days I haven't seen you. How unadorable. Cut me some slack, will you?”

“Benjamin was just worried about you,” Denise said. “Do you know how shocked we were when we saw you get off the plane?”

“Did you cry?” Thalia looked at Denise.

“Of course not!”

“So who was the one who secretly shed tears?” Anthony teased.

Thalia raised her brows when she heard that and turned to look at Denise intently.

“It wasn't me!” Denise continued to deny vehemently.

Thalia felt gratified as she watched their antics.

I can see that my efforts to care for them have not gone to waste when I see how much they cherish me.

“I feel relieved at the thought of the three of you attending my funeral when I die. I'll be able to die without regrets,” Thalia said.

“Don't talk nonsense!” Anthony and Benjamin shouted in unison.

“Yeah! Don't even joke about it!” Denise added.

“I meant to say when I grow old,” Thalia said.

“That's more like it,” Denise muttered.

“Okay. So what happened after that?” Anthony asked.

Thalia pondered for a moment. “There's not much to tell. I got hurt, and Spencer had to protect me while fighting them, so we turned to Kenneth for help.”

“We also received your message,” Anthony said.

Frowning, Thalia said, “Kyle should've received it too.”

The three children were stunned by her words.

“To think I'd be saved by someone from DX Group. I truly did not expect this day to come.” Thalia's frown deepened.

“Fate can be strange sometimes,” Anthony murmured.

“Right, help me inform Kyle that I'm all right. I'm afraid he'd come rushing over,” Thalia requested.

Anthony bobbed his head and replied solemnly, “Right away.”

“You know what to say, right?”

“What do you want me to say?” Anthony asked teasingly.

“Um... I'm still thinking about it.”

Anthony smirked. “Shall I help you?”

“Okay. Since you're so smart, I'm sure you can come up with something. Go ahead.”

Anthony nodded and turned around to leave.

Lying down on the bed, Thalia stared at the ceiling above before glancing at Benjamin and Denise. “Where are we?”

“We're at Mr. Dave's place,” Denise replied truthfully.

“Of all cursed luck...”

Denise grinned. “Do you want to leave?”

“How can I possibly leave? It's not like I can get up anyway. Besides, I don't owe him anything since I didn't ask him to save me.”

Thalia wasn't so fussy that she'd leave just because of that. At that moment, recovering her health was of utmost importance.

Denise couldn't help but smile when she saw how Thalia behaved.

“Perhaps Darknetz and DX Group can come to an agreement,” Benjamin said.

Thalia let out a deep sigh, a helpless expression on her face. “You don't know... Nevermind. You'll understand someday.”

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and kept silent.

Just then, Spencer opened the door and entered the room carrying food.

Benjamin and Denise exchanged a glance, and the latter said, “Ben, I'm feeling hungry too. Let's go get some food!”

Benjamin nodded. “Sure.”

Thalia felt relieved that the two children were so tactful. She murmured, “Go along now.”

After that, the two children exited the room and shut the door behind them.

Thalia and Spencer were the only ones left in the room.

Thalia turned her gaze toward the man once more.
