Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 709

Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.

After glancing at the screen, Dave walked over to the side with his phone.

“Hello?”

“Dave, where are you guys?” Mike asked. “We've been waiting for you to come since an hour ago.”

Dave lowered his volume and replied, “Something happened. Give us a while. I'll inform you of the right details half an hour later.”

“What about the operation?”

“Don't do anything until we're there.”

“All right, I got it.”

Before Dave ended the call, he thought about something. “Right. How are things on Boss' side?”

“He's out.”

Dave's brows snapped together. He knew that more delay meant that they would let the golden opportunity slip them by, so after a while of hesitating, he uttered, “Try to drag this on a little longer. Also, pay attention to whether or not he's meeting someone. If he does, tell me right away.”

“Of course. I understand.”

“That's all,” Dave said and ended the call.

He did not outright mention Natasha's name, for Mike and the others knew who Natasha was. Once they saw her, they would realize who Dave was talking about. However, if Natasha did not end up meeting Boss, he would save them much trouble by not mentioning her name from the beginning.

With that settled, Dave turned to look at Spencer again.

At that moment, Spencer took out a black bag and opened it on the bed. Dave saw the thin needles kept inside and how Spencer hovered his hand over them all until he reached out to one of the needles. After taking that needle out, he inserted it into Kenneth's body.

Dave watched quietly at the side. Soon, Kenneth started reacting to the needle.

His fingers twitched. Then it was his eyes.

Dave scurried over, and just as he reached Kenneth, Kenneth opened his eyes.

“Kenneth,” Dave called out.

Kenneth frowned from the pain pounding in his head, and he narrowed his eyes when he saw Dave and Spencer. “Why are you both here?”

Spencer kept the needle and replied, “To rescue you.”

Kenneth did not dwell on Spencer's words. After giving him a once-over, Kenneth sat upright.

When Kenneth took in Dave's expression, a spark of realization flashed past his eyes. “What time is it now?”

Dave raised his arm to check the time. “Almost one.”

Kenneth's body visibly stiffened, and he widened his eyes at Dave. “One?”

Dave nodded in response.

Kenneth parted his lips, wanting to say something when he realized what was amiss. He scanned his surroundings and noticed that everything in the room was the same as before.

So that wasn't a dream. It was real. What happened between Natasha and me was real too.

Looking back at Spencer, he asked, “Where's Nat?”

Spencer turned to Dave at that, wondering if they should spill the beans to Kenneth.

Simultaneously, Kenneth cast his gaze at Dave.

With two pairs of eyes fixed on him, Dave took a deep breath and schooled his features into a somber look.

Kenneth knew him well, and he knew that something had to have transpired for Dave to bear a look like that on his face.

“What happened?” he asked in a hoarse voice.

The signals in his body and his memories before he fell asleep told him something had to have occurred.

Dave looked at Kenneth before lowering his gaze when he realized he could not voice those words out loud. He turned to Spencer and threw the hot potato at him. “You tell him about it.”

At that, Dave looked away.

Kenneth's eyes flicked toward Spencer, but this time, there was a look of impatience in them. “What happened to Nat? Did she get another episode?”
