Natasha furrowed her brows as the words Fabian said to her in the hospital resounded in her head.
He said Gaston would never appear again in the future. Does Kenneth have a hand in this?
Deep down, she sensed it had something to do with Kenneth. Otherwise, Fabian would not have said so.
However, she also felt that it wasn't done by Kenneth, thinking the man would never do such a thing for her.
As she was pondering, Terence called out to her twice. “Silly girl, what's on your mind?”
Natasha snapped out of her daze, murmuring, “I was thinking who would have taken action so quickly...”
“That evil man deserves to be punished. Hence, no matter who it was that had handled the issue, the person had accomplished a great deed,” Terence responded.
Natasha remained silence.
“It's just that the person had acted too early, or else I would have made my way down to the company to beat up that crook.” The thought of it had left Terence fuming.
Natasha looked at Terence upon hearing his comment. “Grandpa, I know you care and love me. Nevertheless, I don't wish for you to be so impulsive. Compared to thrashing him, don't you think his current outcome would make him wish he was better off dead?”
“That's right. However, I just can't let it go.”
Natasha appeased him. “Don't worry, Grandpa. He actually didn't manage to bully me. Furthermore, Kenneth even beat him up.”
Once she brought that up, Terence said, “Kenneth actually did something decent this time...”
Natasha replied smilingly, “All right, Grandpa. I'll take extra caution in the future and not make you worry anymore. You also have to promise me that no matter what happens next time, you got to remain
cool-headed.”
Terence could not retort as he knew his granddaughter was only being filial. “I'll try my best.”
I'll take it that he has promised me.
A smile appeared on Natasha's face. “Okay, Grandpa. I'll return to my room to rest. Don’t tell the triplets what happened when they come back. I don't want them to worry about me.”
Terence nodded. “Sure, I'll keep that in mind. Quickly return to your room to rest then. I'll prepare some soup for you.”
“Mhm!” Natasha grinned before getting up and heading toward her bedroom.
She initially wanted to shower, but she couldn't let her wound get wet. Therefore, Natasha changed into a set of comfortable silk pajamas and directly slumped onto the bed.
Natasha originally planned to sleep in the dim surrounding. Nonetheless, she tossed and turned in bed and eventually couldn't sleep.
The news of Gaston getting arrested constantly surfaced in her mind.
Her intuition told her that it was not a coincidence.
Besides Kenneth, she could not think of anyone else who would have done that.
While ruminating over it, it took Natasha an unknown amount of time to fall into a deep slumber.
By the time she had awakened again, night had already fallen.
She looked out of the window and found that the streetlights seemed to have lit up.
Natasha was about to rise to her feet when her phone rang.
Seeing it was Mark, she picked up the call without a second thought.
“N-Nat.” Mark's voice trembled on the other end.
“What's the matter, Mr. Yondel?” Natasha questioned. Based on her understanding and perception, she felt that Mark wasn't someone who would push her into the face of danger. When he had the chance to curry favor with Kenneth, the man even warned her not to be involved with the latter. Therefore, the situation was purely an unexpected mishap.
“Nat, I understand I had organized the matter poorly. However, I honestly didn't do that on purpose. I swear I didn't mean it.” Mark frantically explained during the call.
