Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 964

At that moment, Spencer and Thalia exchanged glances.

Subsequently, Thalia carefully removed the lock.

Looking at the drawer, Thalia took a deep breath. “I'm going to open it!”

Spencer didn't say a word. He just gave her a reassuring smile.

Thalia nodded. “Move back a bit.”

Spencer nodded, then subtly moved a few centimeters back.

At that moment, Thalia slowly opened the drawer.

From a tiny gap to fully opening it, Thalia did so at a snail's pace. Her heart was practically in her mouth. However, through the gap, she couldn't see any sort of countdown device at all.

Those in her line of work tended to be more cautious. Thalia remained uneasy until all the drawers were opened. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, there were a few bottles in the drawer.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Thalia looked at Spencer and said, “I told you, Boss is definitely playing mind games.”

Hearing her words, Spencer also went over to check it out.

There wasn't much in the drawer other than a few medicine bottles.

Thalia looked at them before reaching out to grab them. “Vermillion Base is indeed so poor that all that's left are these shoddy tricks. These few medicine bottles were even locked up as if they are rare treasures. Who would steal such things!”

Hearing her words, Spencer also took out a bottle from inside and looked at it. He then couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile. “Aren't we here to steal medicine?”

Thalia was taken aback by his words. “W... We are his victims who are just trying to save ourselves. This can't be considered stealing!”

For some reason, Spencer found Thalia exceptionally adorable.

Spencer nodded. “You're right.”

With a satisfied smile, Thalia then turned to him and said, “Quick, see which one is the antidote!”

Spencer nodded, picking up the antidotes one by one to examine them.

“This isn't it,” he said, putting one back. As he was about to pick up another, it felt as if it was stuck to the ground. Spencer furrowed his brows as he pulled it up forcefully. All they heard was a noise behind them. When they turned around, they saw a hidden weapon being launched from a machine.

“Watch out!” Thalia shouted.

Meanwhile, Spencer was one step ahead of her, directly tackling Thalia to the ground.

Even so, the hidden weapon had grazed his shoulder, striking the wall not far behind him.

At that moment, the two of them froze before looking at each other.

All along, Thalia has always been in a position of protecting others. Never once has she been the one being protected. More importantly, this person is none other than Spencer.

Looking at Spencer on top of her, she felt as if she had returned to that fateful night.

At that moment, there was no fear in her eyes. Instead, an indescribable tenderness was all there was.

“Are you all right?” Spencer asked.

Thalia shook her head, “You've got me pinned down here. How could I possibly be hurt?”

Just as Spencer was about to say something, a drop of blood suddenly fell from his shoulder, landing directly on Thalia's body.

Her brows immediately furrowed when she noticed it. “Are you hurt?” Then, she promptly sat up to look at his wound.

However, when she looked over, Spencer immediately shrugged his shoulders, blocking her view. “It's just a minor scrape. No big deal.”

“But...”

“Let's find the antidote quickly and get out of here!” Spencer said.

Cognizant of the situation, Thalia nodded. Just as they were about to stand up, the door was suddenly flung open, and in rushed Alexia.

“What have you done?” Alexia exclaimed.

Thalia looked in Alexia's direction, her brows furrowed. “We... didn't do anything.”

“Everyone is heading over here. We must retreat immediately!” Alexia said, emphasizing each word.

Spencer and Thalia exchanged glances. Then, in the next second, Thalia said, “Let's just take all the bottles!”
