Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 516

Three hours later, they safely returned to DX's territory and remained in Dave's house.

Dave could finally breathe a sigh of relief when they arrived home.

They wouldn't bat an eyelash even if members of Vermillion Base, who were in pursuit of them, made it this far, for even Vermillion Base would have to think twice before acting boorishly here.

In the room, Dave and Natasha helped Kenneth settle in.

“Your room's right across the hallway, Ms. Watson. Just make yourself at home, and let the housekeeper know if there's anything you need,” said Dave while looking at the woman beside him.

Natasha nodded. “Thank you.”

The man's gaze swept past her as he said, “No need for thanks. I still have some things to take care of. You should go ahead and get some rest.”

Just then, Natasha called out to him, “Wait.”

Dave turned around and looked at her.

Natasha's gaze then shifted to the man who was lying on the bed. She furrowed her brows slightly, a tinge of worry crossing her face. “It's been three or four hours already, yet he still hasn't regained consciousness. Is he going to be all right?”

Dave shifted his gaze at Kenneth when he heard Natasha's words. Curling the corner of his lips upward, he reassured the worried woman, “He hasn't slept for many days, and he lost quite a bit of blood. It's normal for him not to regain consciousness for some time.”

“He hasn't slept for days?” A hint of surprise glinted in Natasha's eyes.

Dave nodded at her. “He was worried and needed to make some arrangements, so he barely got any shut-eye.”

Natasha contemplated for a moment before turning her gaze toward the unconscious man behind her.

“If you're worried, I'll get a doctor to come over and check,” suggested Dave.

“No need. If that's the case, then just let him rest.”

Dave nodded in agreement. Seeing how intently the woman was looking at Kenneth, he didn't utter another word and quietly retracted his gaze before leaving.

Natasha walked toward Kenneth and sat by his bed. While she looked at him, the images of Kenneth saving her came flooding back into her mind. She couldn't help lifting the corners of her lips.

After what seemed like a long time, Anthony and Benjamin walked into the room.

The two children had just taken a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes, making them look sharper.

When they stepped inside and saw Natasha was still watching over their father, the two boys suggested, “We'll look after Daddy, Nat. You should go clean up!”

“I'll stay for a little longer.”

“Geez, Nat, we'll be right here. We promise we won't let Daddy out of our sights, not even for a single second.” As he spoke, Benjamin hooked his arm around Natasha's and began walking her out. “Nat, you should think about the others even if you don't care about yourself. You're covered with blood and dirt. Get yourself cleaned up. You'll feel much better, and it'll be a treat to the eyes!”

Natasha turned to look at the boy. “A treat to whose eyes?”

Benjamin stilled for a split second before wittily responding, “Mine and Anthony's!”

“You two have seen me in various states already.”

“Gosh, Nat. I bet you won't dare to argue if Denise was here,” retorted Benjamin.

There was nothing else Natasha could say at this point.

She cast a worried glance at the man on the bed before finally relenting. “I'll go get cleaned up, then. You two watch over Kenneth closely, all right?”

“Don't worry, Nat. We'll make sure to do a great job, perhaps even better than you did,” Benjamin reassured.

A smile tugged at the corners of Natasha's lips, and she didn't say anything more as she made her way out.

“Nat, your room is the one right across the hallway!” Anthony reminded.

“Got it!”

Natasha headed straight for her room after leaving Kenneth's.
