Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 517

A smile hung on Natasha's lips when she recalled how Boss hated General Will to the core.

“I'm afraid that's no coincidence.”

After seeing the look on Natasha's face, Dave questioned tentatively, “Are you saying...”

“There's bad blood between Boss and General Will, so I think there's more to the situation than meets the eye,” she deduced.

Dave pondered her words and subsequently nodded in understanding. “Anthony mentioned that you delivered a message once. Was it concerning this?”

Natasha, too, nodded in response to the man's question. “Back then, I felt something was amiss. General Will must have been keeping Boss in check. It's just that I never expected that things would escalate to this extent. In the end, I still underestimated him.”

“General Will's infamous for being ruthless. He had little regard for human lives and instigated many wars. After everything he's done, he deserves to be in this state!”

“My only concern is that Boss might be tougher to deal with than General Will,” said Natasha.

At that moment, Natasha recalled the past couple of days she'd spent with Boss. She felt that she got to know him better than she ever did in that short period of time.

He seemed isolated and powerless, just like a ship floating on the stormy sea. A huge wave was all that was needed to destroy him.

However, if that were truly the case, he never would've made it this far.

The most likely explanation was that all of it was merely a facade he'd put on, a facade so flawless that no one saw through him.

Hence, Natasha concluded that Boss was far more shrewd and cunning than he let on.

“No matter how impressive or cunning he is, he wouldn't dare act rashly at this juncture. DX's capabilities are not to be underestimated, so there's no need to be worried. You are all safe here,” Dave reassured as he looked at the woman.

“I'm not worried about that,” Natasha replied in a low voice.

General Will's life belonged to me, but Boss has taken it away. Words simply can't describe the jumbled-up emotions in my heart.

“Then what are you worried about?”

A trace of worry flashed across her eyes as she looked at Dave. “I'm worried that Boss won't let Kenneth off the hook just like that. He didn't gain anything from the deal, and he definitely won't forget about what happened in Glenport City.”

Upon hearing that, the man curled the corner of his lips into a smirk. “There are plenty of people in this world who are at odds with Kenneth. Boss will have to get in line if he wants Kenneth's life.”

Evidently, the relationship between Dave and Kenneth was anything but ordinary.

“In any case, we still have to be cautious for the time being.”

“Don't worry. I'll strengthen security.”

Natasha nodded in response.

“By the way, dinner is ready. Would you like to have your meal here or downstairs?” Dave queried.

After giving it a thought, Natasha replied, “I'll eat downstairs.”

“Okay.” The man nodded. “Then, I'll go check on him.”

“I'll go, too.”

At that, the two pushed open the door to Kenneth's room and stepped inside.

The two boys were sitting by his bed, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing Natasha and Dave enter the room, the boys immediately snapped out of their daze and greeted, “Nat, Mr. Dave.”

“How is he? Did he show any signs of waking up?” asked Dave.

Anthony shook his head in response to the man's question.

Dave walked up to them and took a look at Kenneth.

Just then, Benjamin piped up, “Mr. Dave, why hasn't Daddy woken up yet? It's been so long. This definitely isn't normal!”

“Are you worried?” Dave queried.

The little boy murmured softly, “Isn't it normal to be worried?”

A smile played on Dave's lips as he looked at the boys. “In that case, you two should stop doing things that would worry your daddy.”

“That's a big ask!” Anthony retorted while turning to look at his father. “We've joined Darknetz. I bet Daddy will always be worried in the future.”
