After that, Kenneth stared at her intently.
A confused expression was written on Natasha's face. “What?”
“What? Don't you know?” Kenneth raised his brows, and due to the blood loss, he looked pale.
Natasha pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and asked, “Are you saying that Boss likes me?”
Kenneth nodded.
“How is that possible?” Natasha shook her head.
Giggling, Kenneth replied, “He looks at you the same way I do. A man knows best what a man wants.”
He sounded determined when he spoke.
Natasha pondered for a moment. “If you knew how he treated me, you would realize you are overthinking!”
“No matter what he had done, you are here safe and sound in front of me at this moment,” Kenneth stated a fact.
Glancing at him, Natasha pursed her lips tightly.
Well, what he said is indeed true.
No matter what Boss had done, she was safe and sound after all.
As Kenneth watched her keeping quiet, the corner of his lips quirked up a little reluctantly. Then, he stretched out his hand to pat her head. “It's fine. It's good that you are clueless sometimes too. This way, I also won't have to worry much.”
Natasha looked at him and said nothing.
At that moment, the car shook violently all of a sudden.
Kenneth clutched his wounds suddenly while his body shuddered slightly.
Seeing that, Natasha caught him in time before looking at the driver at the front. “Drive slower.”
The driver glanced back at her. “I just want to send Mr. Hamilton back quickly. After all, he has lost so much blood.”
At that moment, Natasha only realized that Kenneth's blood had stained all over the car.
Great, he's still in the mood to talk about whether someone likes me even in this state.
“Kenneth.” Just then, Natasha helped him lean on her shoulder.
She turned her head to face the front. “Keep the car steady. He has lost so much blood. The bumps on the road would only speed up his blood loss.”
“All right!”
At that moment, the car was driving down the road.
Looking at Kenneth leaning on her shoulder, Natasha immediately took off her blouse and tied it around his shoulder.
“Kenneth, hang in there,” said Natasha as she glanced at him.
Leaning on her shoulder, Kenneth suddenly felt an intense warmth and wanted to say something. However, when he raised his head, he saw the wounds on her body.
His brows scrunched together suddenly. “Are you hurt?” he asked.
“I'm fine. It's just a minor injury,” stated Natasha.
Just then, Kenneth lowered his eyes. His gaze happened to sweep across her arms, and he spotted some wounds on them. Knitting his brows tighter, he asked, “Boss did this?”
Despite his frail body, his gaze was grim and frightening.
Natasha knew his temper well and that he would not let things slide until he got to the bottom of it. After contemplating for a while, she said, “I accidentally hurt myself when I fought with someone. It's just some scratches. I'm fine!”
Kenneth looked at her.
At that moment, the car bounced roughly again. More blood oozed from Kenneth's wounds.
“Kenneth...” Glancing at him, Natasha panicked.
Kenneth just stared at her, parting his lips and wanting to say something, yet his words stuck at his throat. He only uttered a word, “Nat.”
He fainted after that.
Then, Natasha looked up front. “How much longer before we get there?”
“Soon. In about ten minutes!”
“Go faster!” urged Natasha.
“But...”
“I'm putting pressure on his wounds. Hurry up!” Natasha said as she glanced at him.
Upon hearing that, the driver nodded and sped up.
The car was driving on an unpaved road throughout the journey. One could see dirt everywhere out the window.
