Natasha tried her best to walk toward her room, but the intense headache that was tormenting her wasn't helpful at all.
Unable to endure the pain, she slumped to the ground and held her head, which felt as if it was splitting open.
“Ah!”
In the end, Natasha couldn't help but let out a yell.
Alas, the upper floor was where the rooms were located. The housekeeper rarely went up unless for cleaning or when there was a need. Basically, they were only allowed to be in one area. That was a rule set by Dave.
Hence, there was no one who could hear her cry at that moment, let alone know what had happened to her.
On top of that, the three children had run off to someplace else to avoid her.
Natasha sat on the corridor floor and held her head, trying her best to endure the pain as she trembled from head to toe. Even the veins on her temple and neck had become visible.
While trying to endure the pain, she glanced ahead with eyes that turned bloodshot during the process.
Meanwhile, Thalia's eyes flew open as she lay in the room.
Spencer, who had been watching her, noticed it and asked hurriedly, “What's wrong?”
Looking at him, Thalia asked, “Did you hear any sound?”
“Huh? What sound?”
Thalia mumbled, “I don't know... I just feel that something's happening...”
Gazing at her, Spencer reassured, “Don't think too much. I'm here. Just focus on getting some rest.”
However, Thalia shook her head fervently and looked him in the eye. “No. I want you to go out and check. Please, just check...”
Seeing how serious Thalia looked, Spencer hesitated for a while before agreeing, “Okay. I'll check it out. Don't panic, all right?”
Thalia nodded.
Only then did Spencer get up and walk out the room.
Since their room and Natasha's were separated by a turn in the corridor, Spencer noticed nothing out of the ordinary when he scanned the surroundings, including the lower floor.
Hence, he prepared to make his way back to the room.
The moment he arrived at the door, he heard a groan. Though it was not too loud, it could clearly be heard thanks to the complete quietness in the corridor.
He froze and quickly returned to the corridor.
As he walked along the corridor, he carefully scanned his surroundings to find the source of the sound. When he turned around, he saw Natasha squatting by the stairs.
Catching her pained expression, Spencer rushed forward, asking, “What's wrong, Nat?”
Natasha remained seated on the ground, trembling violently without uttering a word. Surprisingly, her skin was flushed red.
Noting that, Spencer promptly examined her and frowned.
“Nat, what's wrong?” he asked.
Doing her best to bear the pain, Natasha tilted her head slightly to glance at him and parted her lips, muttering faintly, “It hurts...”
Looking at the state she was in, Spencer felt around his body and found nothing he could use to ease her pain, which made him frown.
Since Natasha was in too much pain, Spencer swiftly struck the back of her neck and knocked her out cold.
He then quickly caught hold of her, carried her in his arms, and walked back to the room.
Meanwhile, Thalia was staring at the room door. Just as her anxiousness had reached its peak, Spencer finally returned with Natasha in his hands.
Stunned by the scene, Thalia asked, “What's wrong?”
