Kenneth forced Natasha to stay in bed all day.
The only things she could do were eat and sleep.
To her, sleep was a daily enjoyment for her. However, she felt burdened when she had someone watching over her.
Natasha tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She wanted to ask for some information but didn't even have a phone.
Just as she was considering if she should sneak out, the door creaked open, and Denise poked her head in.
It was like Natasha had seen an angel when she saw her.
“Denise.”
Denise looked around the room before her gaze landed on Natasha. “Daddy isn't here, is he?”
“He's not.”
Denise heaved a sigh of relief. She entered the room and carefully closed the door without a sound.
When Denise approached her, Natasha asked, “What is it?”
“Tony said that you would want to know what's happening outside this room, so he sent me to tell you about it,” she replied.
Warmth washed over Natasha when she heard that. Anthony is the one who knows me best.
“So, what's the latest?”
“Thalia hasn't woken up yet, and Spencer is still sitting by her bedside. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything and refuses to let anyone go into the room,” Denise explained with a frown.
Natasha's brows creased with worry.
Just then, Denise remembered something and looked up at her. “Oh, that reminds me. Tony said that Spencer seemed to be injured. But he refuses to let anyone take a look, so he's not sure.”
Natasha could not stand it anymore. She climbed out of bed and headed for the door.
“Are you going outside, Nat?”
“What else would I be doing?”
“What if Daddy finds out?”
“Do you think he will be able to do anything to me?” Natasha retorted.
Denise thought about it for a moment. Well, I guess it's true that he can't do anything.
Natasha put on a jacket and walked toward the door.
Because of the blood transfusion, she was feeling a little lightheaded when she stood up so suddenly. However, she was still able to hold herself up.
Seeing that Natasha was about to leave, Denise didn't dare to stay in the room any longer and ran after her.
“Wait for me, Nat.”
Anthony and Benjamin stood outside the room, looking around. They paced up and down with worried expressions on their faces.
“Is he still refusing to come out?” Natasha asked.
When Anthony noticed how pale her complexion and lips were, his brows furrowed deeply. “Why did you leave your room, Nat?”
She gazed at them. “I'm fine. How did you conclude that Spencer is injured?
After a long pause, Benjamin replied, “He had blood on him, and the stains were getting bigger. He is basically completely covered in blood now, which is a lot more than when he just came back.”
As soon as Natasha heard that, she understood what was going on.
She turned and headed toward Thalia's room. However, when she tried to open the door, she realized that it was locked.
She turned around. “Did he lock the door?”
Anthony nodded.
“Go find Dave and get the key,” Natasha said resolutely.
With her around, it was like they had a pillar of support.
