Spencer could finally let out a sigh of relief when the car stopped at the hospital.
Despite Natasha's young age, her driving style was completely unlike her character— reckless.
When he stepped out of the car, Spencer could not help but sneak a glance at her. “Nat, I don't want to nag, but you're a girl, and I think it's better for you to be gentle.”
Natasha narrowed her eyes. “Gentle?”
“Yes!” Spencer nodded. “Men love gentle women. Aren't you afraid that Kenneth will stop liking you one day if you keep this up?
At that, Natasha drew her brows together.
He already disliked me once. What should I be afraid of now?
She then rolled her eyes at Spencer. “I have a suggestion for you too.” “What is it?”
“Man up.”
Spencer inhaled sharply.
He felt humiliated.
When he saw Natasha getting down from the car, he hurriedly followed suit. “Nat, I'm saying that for your sake, but what about you?”
“Mhm, I'm saying that for your sake too.”
“You—” Just as Spencer was about to say something else, he lifted his head to see the hospital and frowned. “Why are you taking me to the hospital?”
“For a checkup.” With that, Natasha walked into the building.
“A checkup?” Spencer's frown deepened. His eyes then flitted toward Natasha's back. “What kind of illness do you have that I can't diagnose for you? Did you have to bring me to the hospital?”
Despite his rambling, he followed closely behind Natasha.
Soon, they reached the outside of the ward.
Coincidentally, a nurse came out of the room. When she saw them, she started, “You’re...”
Then, shock flashed through her eyes.
Natasha was already beautiful, but the man beside her... was divine.
How can any man in this world be so gorgeous?
“I'm here to visit someone,” Natasha told her.
“Oh, you're family, right?” the nurse said with a smile.
Natasha did not agree or disagree with that.
“My, she's already at this state, but you're still here to visit her. I knew it; pretty people simply have kind hearts,” the nurse said before turning back to them. “Go on ahead.”
“Thank you.”
The nurse inclined her head, and she could not help but glance at Spencer one more time.
Spencer gazed at her and shot her a gentlemanly smile. “Thank you.”
It was as if that smile stole her soul.
The nurse flushed and quickly ran off, hugging her patient's medical records close to her chest.
“Did you see that? I'm as charming as ever...” Spencer remarked, but when he turned his head, he realized no one was there anymore.
Turning his head to the other side, he realized that she had entered the ward.
“You simply don't appreciate me.” With that, Spencer entered after her.
Erin was lying on the bed in the ward. Her wounds had yet to fully heal, and she was still swashed with bandages.
Natasha looked at her with calm eyes.
Spencer only realized something after moving closer to the bed. “Isn't this the woman from that day?”
Natasha nodded.
“You've taken me here to give her a checkup?” Spencer inquired, baffled.
“She encountered an accident when Desmond was sending her out of the country. He then used that incident to vent his frustration on Kenneth,” Natasha replied.
“And?” Spencer asked.
“I don't think things are that simple,” she continued.
“You mean...”
Natasha bobbed her head.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Kenneth's matter has nothing to do with me, so I'm not going to get involved.” He then turned to leave.
However, before he could actually do that, Natasha grabbed him from behind.
