Indeed, it was good to repay kindness.
However, at this moment, Terence had another thing to worry about.
Looking at her, he hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “Nat, have you ever thought about what would happen if Kenneth never wakes up?”
As soon as those words fell, the smile on Natasha's face froze for a moment, but it was only for a brief moment. She quickly regained her composure and nodded. “Yes. I've thought about it.”
“Since you've thought about it, haven't you considered anything else? This concerns your whole life. Do you really want to...” Terence looked at her, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
He knew very well how things should be, but he also knew everyone had their personal interests.
However, after pondering for a moment, Natasha looked at him and said, “Grandpa, I understand. As your granddaughter, I know you want what's best for me, hoping I can find a good place in life, even if it means questioning me out of a guilty conscience. But I've thought it through. I have no other intentions. Even if it means taking care of Kenneth for the rest of my life, I have no regrets.”
Terence looked at her, his eyebrows furrowed. “Nat, you don't have to be willful. If there's even a slight bit of reluctance, you must tell me.”
“Grandpa, ever since I divorced him years ago, I have never considered being with anyone else. I was prepared to spend my life alone, but I never expected fate to bring us back together. I can assure you that he has always been the only one in my heart. He was in the past, he is now, and he will be in the future. Whether he is awake or asleep, alive or dead, this fact will never change,” Natasha said to Terence, word by word.
Natasha wasn't trying to make herself sound noble, but it was just that she was incredibly stubborn.
Once she had chosen to be with someone, she would never change her mind.
Regardless of whether that person was good or bad, it was still her choice. Even if it was a bad man, she would make the right decision, but her feelings toward that man would remain the same.
That was just who she was.
Terence had watched her grow up, so he knew her very well.
After a moment of thought, he couldn't help but heave a sigh. “I should have known... Not only are you a stubborn person, Nat, but you're also someone who will never ignore her own feelings. When faced with the right thing to do, you will always go ahead without hesitation.”
Natasha laughed when she heard that.
“In this regard, you really do resemble your father,” Terence said.
When Theodore was mentioned, Natasha was slightly taken aback.
As she lifted her gaze to look at Terence, surprisingly, he seemed quite nonchalant, with no trace of pain on his face.
Seeing that, Natasha smiled and said, “I am his daughter. Of course, I resemble him.”
Terence nodded. “You're absolutely right.”
“Grandpa, about Dad...”
“It's all in the past,” Terence said, turning to look at Natasha. “Life has to move on. We have to look forward, don't we?”
“In a couple of days, I plan to visit my parents' graves,” said Natasha.
Terence nodded. “All right.”
Natasha looked at him. But beyond that, Terence didn't say anything more.
Hence, she simply didn't ask anything further.
While keeping Kenneth company, Natasha was also reviewing those documents inside the room. It has been a long time since I studied these. Now, when I suddenly go into it, it's rather challenging.
Fortunately, her memory was good, and her logical abilities were decent. Therefore, understanding wasn't difficult for her.
As she was flipping through those documents, she discovered some issues. However, seeing Kenneth's signature at the bottom of the project proposal, she furrowed her brows.
Lifting her gaze to the person lying down, Natasha murmured, “You signed off on such an obvious issue?”
