Chapter 523
Benjamin saw Natasha putting her fingers on her temples as a pained expression appeared on her
face.
“Nat, what's going on?” Benjamin asked anxiously.
Natasha closed her eyes as she shook her head. “Nothing.” Even though she felt like needles were
running through her head for a moment, the pain was gone within a few seconds.
Benjamin was still worried, though. “Let me get Mr. Dave!”
He turned and walked away.
“There's no need for that, Benjamin.”
Natasha's words didn't convince Benjamin. He had already disappeared from her sight.
Meanwhile, Natasha sat beside the bed as her headache slowly stopped. After a while, she was feeling
fine. It was as if the excruciating pain earlier was her illusion.
Soon, Benjamin walked into the room with Dave and a doctor.
“Nat.” Benjamin sat beside her. “Are you okay?”
Natasha was positioned beside Kenneth's bed. She shook her head when they walked in. “I told you I
was fine.”
Dave strolled over and took a look at her. “Let the doctor check on you. At least that can help ease our
worries.”
Since the doctor had already made his way to the room, Natasha didn't refuse. “Sure. Thanks.”
Dave gazed at the doctor and nodded his head. The doctor immediately went over to Natasha to start
checking on her.
Just then, Anthony ran into the room after hearing the news. He shouted, “Nat!”
Benjamin quickly stopped Anthony when he spotted the latter.
“What happened to Nat?” Anthony asked.
Benjamin was about to speak when Natasha spoke first. “I'm fine. I just had a slight headache.
Benjamin was the one who made a big fuss.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Headache?” Anthony frowned. “Why would you get a headache out of nowhere?”
He was about to speak further when Dave walked behind him. The man reached out and covered
Anthony's mouth. “Let the doctor finish his checkup before we make any conclusion.”
Anthony looked at Dave grudgingly while the latter remained expressionless.
Natasha grinned as she watched the exchange between Anthony and Dave.
The doctor finished his checkup after a few minutes. He asked Natasha, “Do you have these
headaches frequently?”
“No. I only had a fleeting headache just now. My kid overreacted.” Natasha shook her head.
The doctor nodded his head. Then, he turned and looked at Dave. “Nothing's wrong with her after
checking on her. Maybe she is exhausted after overusing her energy. She should be fine after a few
days of rest.”
“Don't you need to go through another round of tests?” Dave questioned.
“If you are still worried, maybe she can undergo a brain CT scan at the hospital?”
Dave was going to say something when Natasha interrupted him, “That won't be necessary. I know my
body best. Thank you very much.”
The doctor turned around. “I'm going to give you some painkillers. You can eat them if the pain attacks
you again. However, these are medicines, and you shouldn't take too much of them. It's best if you can
rest more.”
Natasha nodded. “All right. Thank you.”
“It's what I should do.” The doctor nodded in return.
That was when Dave looked at the doctor. “Let's go. I'll send you out.”
The doctor nodded before following Dave to leave. Benjamin and Anthony immediately went up to
Natasha the moment they left.
“Nat, are you feeling better?” Benjamin asked.
“I'm fine. The pain was only temporary.”
Anthony spoke. “But you've never had a headache before. Plus, you just came back from Vermillion
Base. You should pay more attention to your body condition.”
Natasha smiled. “I was young. Now that my age is catching up with me, isn't it normal for me to have
headaches?”
“Do you know this, Nat? Your words are going to cause an uproar among other people.”
Natasha raised her brow.
“Besides that, I have a word of advice for you. It's okay for you to say these things at home. Please
don't mention those words again if you are out and about.”
“Why so?” she asked.
“People will look down on you for praising yourself like that,” Anthony explained.
His words rendered Natasha speechless, while Benjamin agreed with Anthony's words.
Natasha curled her lips into a smile. “Bootlicker!”
Upon hearing that, Anthony gave Benjamin a pointed look. “You heard that? Nat is talking about you!”
“Are you sure she is not talking about you instead?”
“I'm telling the truth, though. Since when did I butter her up?” Anthony retorted.
His words caused Natasha's mind to wander. I'm sure Anthony's words epitomize the highest form of
buttering up to someone.
At that moment, Benjamin walked over and stood behind Natasha. “Nat, I'll massage your head for
you.”
With that, he put his hands on Natasha's head. The strength he used was so comfortable that Natasha
closed her eyes.
She nodded, praising him, “Hmm. Not bad.”
“Hey, if I don't do anything now, I will seem inconsiderate. If so, I will massage your feet for you.”
Anthony walked over and massaged Natasha's feet after he finished speaking.
Natasha beamed, noticing how hard they tried to make her feel comfortable.
Maybe Benjamin is right. There must be a reason why things turn out the way they are now. Even
though I didn't get to end the nightmare that had tortured me for most of my life, the existence of
Anthony and Benjamin did comfort me.
Just like that, Anthony and Benjamin chattered and laughed beside Natasha while the fingers of the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmperson lying on the bed moved slightly.
Natasha woke up in a daze the following day. She had been in a deep slumber the night before, so she
had no idea where she was and what time of the day it was.
The woman took some time to regain her clarity after opening her eyes. When she looked outside, the
sun was shining brightly.
Natasha picked up her phone to look at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. She frowned.
Wow. I slept for so long.
Just then, a thought hit her. She quickly got down from the bed. However, the moment her feet touched
the floor, she noticed a cup and medicine on the bedside table.
Without hesitating, she got up and headed toward Kenneth's room.
She pushed open the door, expecting to see Kenneth lying on the bed or that he would be awake.
However, the bed was empty.
Natasha furrowed her brows.
Where is he?
She walked around the room, searching for Kenneth to no avail.
“Kenneth...” Natasha mumbled as she turned and walked out again. There was no sight of him in the
room nor the corridor.
It was as if Natasha had found herself in a dream. Her surroundings were both real and an illusion at
the same time.
The woman scanned her surroundings before walking over to Anthony's room. No one was there.
Then, she pushed open Benjamin's room. It was empty too.
Maybe I'm dreaming?
Natasha was confused. She walked over to the stairs at the end of the corridor. However, just as she
was about to walk down the stairs, a tall figure came down from the top floor.
The moment Natasha saw him, she was stunned. With her tousled-up hair draped over her shoulder,
the woman ran over to Kenneth and stood still before him. She stared at the pale-faced Kenneth,
holding food in his hand. The paleness of his face did nothing to hide his attractive yet elegant face.
“You're awake?” Kenneth spoke in a low, charismatic voice.
