Inside the room.
The response to her words was silence.
But Natasha didn't care much.
From time to time, she would cover him with the blanket. Then look at him, as if Kenneth would wake up any moment, so she waited quietly.
As Natasha looked at Kenneth, her mind was filled with various memories of the past.
From childhood, to growing up, to getting married, to leaving, and then to meeting again...
They chase each other, only resting in death.
Gradually, almost imperceptibly, Kenneth had occupied the vast majority of her memories.
She believed that, even when faced with any problem, she could always walk away as effortlessly as she had done before.
She believed that once a heart was wounded, it would still bear scars even if it could heal.
She believed that for Kenneth, his feelings for her evolved from dissatisfaction to love. However, even love would have its boundaries.
But now, she suddenly understood, things were not as she had thought they were.
She thought she could walk away at any time, but unknowingly, she had grown accustomed to his presence, seemingly loving him more than before.
She thought that even if they were together, there would still be a thorn in their hearts, a grudge. But it seemed that these had been gradually smoothed over by Kenneth in his way.
She thought there were limits to Kenneth's love for her, but his actions had long since surpassed everything, even surpassing his self-regard.
He smoothed out her scars, made her forget the thorns, and cared for her tenderly.
Upon having this thought, Natasha didn't cry, but suddenly laughed.
Looking at Kenneth, she murmured, “Kenneth, don't you think you're foolish? If it weren't for me, you might still be in Glenport City, running your business, making money, and spending time with Grandpa. How happy you would have been!”
As she spoke, her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. “Tell me why did you have to do this?”
The person on the bed did not respond.
Natasha grabbed his hand, holding it tightly. “Kenneth, do you realize how cruel you are being? Have you ever considered what you've put me through? If something really happens to you, how am I supposed to face life afterwards...” As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they began to fall.
“Kenneth, don't make me fall in love with you only to leave me again. I won't accept it. Do you hear me? You need to wake up. If you don't, I'll marry someone else and let your child call another man 'Daddy'. Did you hear me?”
The person on the bed remained silent.
After all that was said, Natasha still looked at him. “Kenneth, no matter how long it takes for you to wake up, I will wait for you. But as you know, I do have my limits. Don't make me wait too long!”
“Kenneth, don't you want to marry me? Wake up, let's go home and get married, okay?”
No matter what Natasha said, the person on the bed showed no response at all.
Natasha placed Kenneth's hand on her own face, then gently closed her eyes.
...
At this moment.
Outside.
After Anthony stepped outside, he stood there and took a deep breath.
Truth be told, the arrival of Natasha indeed lightened the burden in his heart.
It seems that as long as Nat is here, there's no hurdle that can't be overcome.
With that thought, he looked up at the person beside him. “Spencer, where is Thalia?”
“Outside the base,” replied Spencer.
