Chapter 108
To his surprise, there were a few people in the ward.
Xavier, Ross, and Thomas were there to visit Natasha after they heard that something had
happened to her. When they were joking with one another, the door opened with a bang, and they
turned toward the door in surprise.
Kenneth stood at the door.
He had met Xavier, Ross, and Thomas before, so he knew that they were Natasha’s colleagues.
A hint of awkwardness lingered in the air.
At that moment, Ross asked in a hushed voice, “Ms. Watson, do you hate each other this much?”
Natasha was speechless.
She glanced at Kenneth unhappily.
Thomas, who was sensible, chuckled and said, “Mr. Hamilton, are you here to visit Ms. Watson
too?”
“Mm.” Kenneth nodded slightly. He was truly thick-skinned. Despite the awkwardness, he was able
to act as if nothing had happened and walked into the ward.
“Haha! So are we,” Thomas replied with an awkward smile.
“You guys can go ahead first.” Kenneth gestured with his outstretched hand and walked toward the
couch before sitting down.
Um… Do we need to line up on a first come first served basis when we visit someone in the
hospital?
Thomas looked at Kenneth, who was sitting at the side. “Mr. Hamilton, would you like to go first?”
Kenneth lifted his head lazily to look at Thomas and acted like a gentleman. “It’s fine. I have all the
time in the world. Please go on.”
Huh? How long did he mean by that?
Thomas didn’t dare to ask it out loud, so he continued to smile awkwardly.
Right then, Ross looked at Natasha and asked her in a whisper, “Ms. Watson, he’s not planning on
doing something to you after we leave, right?”
Despite Ross’ whisper, Kenneth could still hear him.
Kenneth raised his eyebrows slightly. He pretended not to hear it and took out his phone to do
something.
Natasha looked at Ross. “How about you stay for a while?”
“I’m afraid that he’ll do something to me later.”
If outsiders got involved with the grudge of prominent families, the former would be the ones to
suffer.
Natasha rolled her eyes at Ross and continued their conversation earlier. “Why did you guys come
here all of a sudden?”
“What do you mean? You haven’t shown up in the office for two days, so we have to find out
what’s wrong! I only found out that something serious had happened to you after asking Denise
about it!” Ross said. “Why didn’t you tell us when something this major happened to you?”
“It’s nothing serious. What’s there to talk about?” Natasha didn’t even think that it was a serious
matter at all.
“Ms. Watson, you’re a woman, after all. Can’t you be a bit more feminine? You can’t embarrass us
men like this?”
Natasha frowned. “More feminine? How do I do that?”
“You know, be gentler and act cute when you speak. Natty wants to eat yummy food. Natty wants
to go to bed. Something like that…”
“Natty is f*cking pissed off?”
Ross was at a loss for words.
Kenneth, who was doing something at the side, couldn’t help himself from chuckling when he
heard what she said.
Natasha was the only one who could say something as crude as that with a straight face.
Such was her personality despite her angel-like appearance.
However, at that moment, Kenneth couldn’t help but think she was very adorable.
As soon as he chuckled, everyone looked in his direction.
He didn’t lift his head. Instead, he looked at his phone seriously as if his chuckle had nothing to do
with their conversation.
The rest of them looked away.
Ross turned to Natasha. “Just pretend that I never said that.”
Thomas said, “You’re lucky that Natty didn’t ask you to f*ck off!”
“I was going to say that,” Natasha said while looking at Thomas. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Thomas shrugged. “See?”
“I got ahead of myself,” Ross said.
Suddenly, Xavier looked at Natasha and piped up, “One doesn’t cry out in pain, not because they
can’t feel the pain, but because they know no one cares about them and it’s useless.”
Hearing that, everyone fell silent and turned to look at him.
Kenneth frowned too when he heard that.
“Xavier, you’ve reached a new height just by saying that!” Ross commented.
“Do you really have to make it sound so sad?” Thomas asked.
Xavier smiled bitterly before looking at Natasha. “Boss, no matter what happens in the future, you
can ask for my help. I’ll come to you without hesitation. You and Celia are the two most important
people to me in the whole wide world.”
Kenneth frowned even more as he sat at the side.
Natasha looked at Xavier, and a hesitant look flashed across her delicate and beautiful face. In the
end, she replied straightforwardly, “Indeed, he’s reached a new height, and very high up at that!”
“I’m serious!” Xavier had a solemn look on his face.
Natasha nodded half-heartedly. “Okay, okay. I get it.”
Seeing that, Ross and Thomas quickly expressed their loyalty to her.
“Ms. Watson, you can look for me too! You’ll be the most important person to me as well!”
“Ms. Wealthy, look at me! I’ll lay down my life for you too!”
“Stay the f*ck away from Natty!”
Ross and Thomas were stunned silent.
Ugh, fine. There is a disparity between people in this world.
Seeing how Ross, Xavier, Thomas, and Natasha were having a good time, Kenneth, who was at
the side, felt like an extra.
Only when he cleared his throat did they realize that he was still there.
All of them exchanged glances, and it was Xavier who took the hint as he looked at Natasha and
said, “Well, Boss, it’s getting late. If there isn’t anything else, we’ll make a move first. We’ll be
waiting for you in the office. Get well soon.”
“We’re leaving already?” Thomas asked. We’re not finished yet!
Ross pushed him lightly. Idiot. Can’t you see that Mr. Hamilton is chasing us away?
Finally, realization dawned on Thomas. He glanced at Kenneth, then quickly flashed Natasha a
sheepish smile. “That’s right. That’s right! It’s getting late. We’ll make a move first. Someone’s still
waiting for his turn.”
Everyone was dumfounded.
Seeing that Natasha had uncovered her sheets and was about to get off the bed, Thomas said,
“Ms. Wealthy, you don’t have to see us off. You’re still hurt. We’ll leave by ourselves.”
Natasha looked at him and emphasized each word as she said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Uh…
Thomas smiled. “O-Okay, then. We’ll get going now.”
After saying that to her, he turned to look at Kenneth. “Goodbye, Mr. Hamilton.”
Kenneth stood up nonchalantly and asked, “You’re leaving already?”
Don’t you feel guilty for asking us that? Do you think we’d leave now if it weren’t for you? Thomas
refuted the man in his mind. With a polite smile, he said aloud, “Yes. It’s already dark outside. We
have to make a move.”
Kenneth nodded. “Goodbye, and please see yourself out.”
“O-Of course.”
With that, the three of them hurriedly walked out.
Although Natasha had told them she was going to the washroom, she eventually sent them off
until they reached the door of her ward.
Feeling touched, Thomas said, “As expected of Ms. Wealthy. You’re tough on the outside but soft
on the inside. You said that you were going to the washroom, but you still insisted on sending us
off. Ms. Wealthy, you have to get well soon! It’s too boring in the office without you!”
Natasha rubbed her temple and said to Ross, “Can you knock him out? He’s too annoying!”
“Got it!” With that, Ross lunged at Thomas.
They continued bantering for a bit in the corridor.
It was then Caroline walked out of Thea’s ward. She turned in their direction subconsciously when
she heard a commotion. When she saw Natasha from afar, she frowned.
What is she doing here?
