Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 718

Boss kept his eyes on Kenneth, lost in thought. Taking advantage of the situation, Natasha seized her opportunity and charged forward to snatch the phone away from Boss.

Meanwhile, Gavin was standing behind Boss, having kept his attention on Natasha the whole time. He had his guard up against her, worried that she would make any sudden movements. Thus, Natasha's attempt to take Boss by surprise did not escape his notice. “Boss! Look out!” Gavin shouted as Natasha lunged forward.

Despite not knowing what Natasha planned to do, Gavin subconsciously decided that her actions would be harmful to Boss. Hence, just as she moved forward, he darted over and shielded Boss behind his body.

To his dismay, by the time he got there, it was already too late. Natasha had kicked Boss' hand and sent the phone flying into the air, which she then quickly reached out to grab.

Unfortunately, Gavin was not inexperienced either. Upon noticing that her target was the phone that was falling mid-air, Gavin took out a dagger from his sleeve and charged toward Natasha to stab her.

“Nat!” Kenneth immediately fired his gun at Gavin at that sight.

Bang!

A series of gunshots followed.

Upon seeing that people were aiming at Natasha, Kenneth—eyes darkened—raised his hand, bringing the enemy down one bullet at a time.

At the same time, Mike and Alexia worked together seamlessly to protect Kenneth from behind. One by one, they took out the people who were aiming at Kenneth.

In the end, Natasha leaped into the air to grab the phone. She ended her momentum by rolling onto the ground.

Her heart seemed to settle back into her chest the moment the phone touched her skin.

Kenneth hurried over and swept his gaze over her. His voice was quivering slightly as he asked, “Are you all right? Are you hurt?”

Natasha shook her head in response, her face pale. “I'm all right.” Looking at the phone in her hand, she continued, “I got it.”

Mixed emotions flickered through Kenneth's black eyes as he narrowed his eyes at her. His expression darkened. “Don't you know that you almost...” He paused, unable to continue.

Contrarily, Natasha answered calmly, “If I had dodged the attack, I wouldn't have gotten the phone.”

Natasha had no doubt that she would have been wounded by the knife, or worse, lost her life by it. However, at that point in time, she had only one choice: take the attack. She could not let others sacrifice themselves for her. That was something she needed to do, and that was her bottom line.

However, that did not mean that Kenneth agreed with her principles.

Kenneth's eyes surged with emotions as he looked at her. He felt his chest tighten, as though something heavy was pressing on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Even so, he knew that it was not the right time to talk.

With one move, he hoisted Natasha up and shielded her behind his body.

At the same time, Boss checked up on Gavin. “How're you doing? Are you okay?”

Enduring the pain that was radiating from his wound, Gavin sucked in a deep breath before nodding. “I'm okay.”

“Bear with it for a moment.” With that said, Boss turned around and shot daggers at Kenneth and the rest. In that second, something seemed to click inside his brain.

Standing up slowly, he glared at Natasha with a malicious glint in his eyes. “So this is what you meant by helping me?”

Natasha walked out from behind Kenneth. Her gorgeous eyes showed no hint of emotions. “When I said that I'd help you, I meant against others, not against my own friends.”

Boss narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Fine!” A ferocious expression spread across his face as he continued, “Do you think you can save them just by snatching away the phone? Let me break it to you: you're being too naïve! When the timer runs out, the bomb will still go off! You can't stop it no matter what!”

Natasha glared at him.

“Then again, you guys have no chance of rescuing them anymore.” As he spoke, Boss turned to look at Natasha. “I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to come over to my side, I can pretend that all this never happened. I'll give you the antidote and your freedom. You can do anything that you want. However, if you turn down my offer, then don't blame me for showing no mercy!”

Natasha merely glanced at him calmly. “Whatever you plan to do, go ahead! Be my guest!”
