Thalia stared wide-eyed and lowered her voice to speak. “How... How should I start?”
Spencer gave her a quick glance and turned on the speakerphone. “It's me.”
“Where is Thalia?” Natasha asked without surprise.
Spencer glanced at the passenger seat and replied softly, “She's been tired all night. She's asleep now.”
“Oh... I see,” Natasha responded.
“Is there something you need? When she wakes up, I'll pass the message on to her,” said Spencer.
Natasha fell silent for a moment. “Spencer, you know me well. Don't you really understand why I'm making this call?”
He pursed his lips. “Speak your mind.”
“All right. If that's the case, I'll just ask directly,” Natasha began.
“Your turn to speak. What exactly happened yesterday? And what's going on with Kenneth?” Natasha asked directly.
Upon hearing those words, a slight frown crept onto Spencer's face, and he remained silent for a long time.
On the other end of the phone, Natasha suddenly let out a soft laugh. “Alright, I understand.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“Your silence is the best answer,” Natasha said softly, “There's nothing else. I'm hanging up now.”
And so, without waiting for Spencer to say anything more, she ended the call abruptly.
As the phone call ended, Thalia turned to Spencer. “I told you she would definitely guess it. She knows us so well that even if you say nothing, it's the same...” As she spoke, Thalia's brows furrowed in unease. After a moment of thought, she suddenly said, “No, it's better to tell her. At least she'll have some idea. But if you don't, she'll only imagine the worst...” She looked up at Spencer as she spoke.
What Thalia said did make some sense.
Spencer's brows were deeply furrowed. He knew Natasha well. If she could not get an answer to her question, she would not ask again. Instead, she would investigate it herself.
But now, her body...
Looking at the phone, Spencer said, “Call her back.”
Thalia immediately picked up her phone and dialed back. However, a moment later, her brows furrowed.
Looking at Spencer, she spoke, “I can't get through. The phone is in an unreachable state.”
Spencer's brows furrowed tightly.
“Do you think she might do something foolish?” Thalia asked.
“No way!” Spencer was very certain.
“How do you know?”
Spencer turned to look at her. His gaze was very firm. “She has personally witnessed the painful death of her parents and still managed to pull through. She won't give up easily. Moreover, she still has her grandpa and the three little ones. So, she won't!” Spencer said, emphasizing each word.
Thalia listened and nodded. “It makes sense.” But after some thought, she could not help but ask, “So what do you think she will do?”
Spencer narrowed his eyes. “She has always been unpredictable. Honestly, I can't guess what she'll do next. But one thing is for sure, she won't give up until she sees Kenneth!”
Listening to his words, Thalia nodded. “You're right. If it were me, I wouldn't give up either.”
With that, she looked at Spencer. “Then you better hurry. Don't let her do anything drastic.”
Upon hearing that, he immediately quickened his pace.
After Natasha hung up the phone, there was no change in her facial expression.
She rose to her feet and sought out a set of clothes. Even though it drained all her energy, she rested for a while in her wheelchair after getting dressed. She then applied some simple makeup. Looking at her still somewhat refined reflection in the mirror, she forced a small smile onto her lips.
After feeling fairly satisfied with herself, she got up and walked outside.
