Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 528

The scene was wholly witnessed by someone on the upper floor.

Kenneth was making a call by the window when he saw Miguel kneeling in front of Anthony.

He furrowed his brows as he watched on. What exactly is the matter that could make a young man kneel to a child?

As the distance was a bit far, Kenneth could only see that Anthony seemed to be denying whatever Miguel was saying to him. Moreover, Miguel's back was facing Kenneth, so the latter couldn't make out what he was saying.

Just then, Natasha walked over and saw Kenneth engrossed in something. She looked at him and asked, “What are you looking at?”

By the time Natasha followed Kenneth's gaze and looked down, Anthony and Miguel had just walked away.

Kenneth snapped out of his daze and looked at Natasha, revealing an innocent smile. “Nothing.”

Natasha nodded lightly.

“By the way, Nat, did anything happen while I was unconscious for the past couple of days?” Kenneth asked.

Natasha thought hard about Kenneth's question before looking up at him. “Yes.”

“What happened?” he asked.

She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Something happened to General Will of Vermillion Base. He should be dead by now.”

The man frowned when he heard that. “Dead?” He pondered for a bit and a thought came to his mind. “Was it Boss?”

Kenneth had a sharp mind; he was able to link things up fairly quickly based on a small clue.

Natasha nodded, acknowledging Kenneth's conjecture.

Kenneth smirked. “Well, only he is capable of pulling something like that.”

“He may be a crazy person, but I guess he sort of took revenge on my behalf...” Natasha murmured.

Kenneth kept his gaze trained on her. “Took revenge on your behalf?”

As that topic was brought up, she looked up at him, her flawless face shining brilliantly. With a smile, she said, “I've figured out what happened to my father during my trip to Vermillion Base.”

He looked at her skeptically. “Is that so?”

With a nod of her head, Natasha explained in detail, “It was true that my father was one of the earliest batches of hackers in Vermillion Base. However, later on, he thought of leaving the organization as he did not agree with their inhumane and ruthless ways of doing things. After he left, the general in charge back then issued the order to kill him.”

“The general in charge back then?” Kenneth rubbed his chin and did a mental calculation. “Based on the timeline, that general should be very old now. General Will's age doesn't match your story.”

“That's right. Although it was the general back then who gave the order, Will was the one who suggested killing my father. The general listened to Will as he was his most trusted aide!” Natasha revealed.

Kenneth took a while to digest the information. “Was Will the one who told you all this?”

“Not all of it,” Natasha responded. Now that the matter was settled, she did not want to hide anything from Kenneth anymore. “It was Boss who told me. He had a voice recording of him and General Will.”

Kenneth did not suspect the authenticity of the recording because he believed Natasha was smart enough not to be duped easily.

Scenes of his childhood flashed across his mind at that moment. If he remembered correctly, the child he met back then must be Boss. Boss' appearance at that place could not be a mere coincidence.

With that thought in mind, Kenneth sounded Natasha out. “Has it ever crossed your mind that the murderer might be someone else?”

“Those people back then are all dead, except for Will. I thought I will kill him myself but I did not expect him to die in Boss' hands,” said Natasha.

She paused momentarily and continued, “I guess that's fine as well. He might not have died in my hands, but ultimately, he's dead. With that, I can let go of this rock in my heart. I finally can lead a normal life and no longer be tormented by nightmares.”

Kenneth initially wanted to discuss more about this matter with Natasha, but after hearing what she said, he dropped the idea.

Now that Natasha could finally find peace with herself after such a long time, it would only worsen her pain if he were to dig further into this matter.
