Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 508

The second the gunshot rang out, Kenneth dashed forward and pulled Natasha into his arms, shielding her from the bullet.

Bang!

A bullet penetrated his flesh.

The next moment, everyone else whipped out their guns and entered a standoff.

When Boss saw Kenneth's actions, a complicated look fleeted across his eyes. He had found the answer he had been looking for.

Meanwhile, Natasha raised her head and looked at the man behind her upon realizing something. The cold look on her face was totally gone now.

“Kenneth...” she mumbled with dazed eyes.

Kenneth met her gaze with an earnest look. “I didn't mean what I said earlier. I swear,” he said hoarsely.

Natasha could not bother to think about that. “Are you... Are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling.

At the sight of her worried expression, Kenneth felt relieved. “I'm fine as long as you're not mad,” he responded with a smile.

Just as Natasha was about to say something, she felt something sticky on her hand. Upon looking down and seeing the blood staining her hand, she panicked. “Kenneth, a-are you okay? Hang in there. I'll take you to a doctor.”

Kenneth smiled again when he saw her red-rimmed eyes. “Are you worried about me?”

“Can you stop this nonsense?” Natasha was so agitated that her voice cracked as she spoke. She tried to help him up, but Kenneth grabbed her hand and stopped her.

“I'm fine.”

“But—”

Natasha was cut off by Boss' furious roar. “Are you done?”

Nevertheless, Kenneth glanced at Natasha first before getting up and turning to look at Boss.

The latter was clearly incensed about being fooled.

“I didn't expect you to have such great acting skills on top of your sharp tongue,” he said through gritted teeth. He simply wanted to test it out by firing that shot, but to his surprise, the outcome was something he hated to see the most.

Kenneth stared at him and curled his lips up. “I can't believe you got fooled by my terrible acting. Boss, your intelligence is worrisome.”

Provoked by his insulting words, Boss howled, “Kenneth Hamilton!”

He looked hysterical.

Even so, Kenneth was not afraid. He continued to look at Boss mockingly.

“Kenneth, I'm going to kill you.”

With that, Boss raised his gun and pulled the trigger twice in Kenneth's direction.

This time, Kenneth seemed to be prepared as he hid behind the car while holding Natasha in his arms.

Chaos ensued as the two sides engaged in a shoot-out.

Kenneth also took out his gun and fired at Boss.

“Let's retreat as we fight. We shouldn't stay here for too long,” he told the man beside him.

“Got it.”

Unfortunately, it seemed like the opposing party noticed their intentions. They closed in on Kenneth's group oppressively as if they were set on getting rid of everyone.

Just then, Kenneth looked at Natasha and voiced, “Nat, I'll cover you. Get on that last car at the back. They'll take you away first!”

Natasha only gazed at him calmly without showing any intention to leave.

“Go!” Kenneth yelled.

“We will go together.”

“Nat!”

“Don't try to persuade me. I won't go!” Natasha uttered with determination.

Kenneth knew that Natasha was a stubborn character. She believed she wasn't the kind of woman who had to hide behind a man. She was someone he could move forward with, hand in hand.

At that thought, Kenneth smiled. “All right. Stay with me, then.”

Natasha nodded.

“Are you scared?”
