Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 943

Seeing Benjamin clearly upset and scared yet still pretending to be strong, Natasha felt her heart aching.

At that moment, she slowly raised her hand and gently wiped his cheek.

“You know what? You actually look pretty good when you cry,” Natasha teased as she looked at her son.

Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Nat...”

Natasha laughed lightly, leaning halfway on the bed, watching him as she slowly began to speak. “Out of the three of you, you resemble me the most. Our personalities are similar, and even our eyes are alike. I've never known what I look like when I cry, but I found out just now.”

“Nat, you're still in the mood for jokes,” Benjamin said to her.

“Of course. As long as all of you are with me, I can always make a joke,” said Natasha.

Benjamin looked at her, his dark eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and caution.

“Nat, what's really going on with your health?” Benjamin asked, looking at her.

Natasha pondered for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh. “I knew I couldn't keep it from you for long. Since you want to know, I'll tell you.”

Benjamin remained silent, simply gazing at her.

“But before I speak, I have a small request,” Natasha said, looking at him.

“What?” Benjamin asked.

“No matter what happens in the future, you must face it with optimism. Even if you encounter something very sad, you can only be upset for a short while, okay?” Natasha asked.

Benjamin stared at her blankly. Her words caused the uneasy premonition in his heart to intensify. “Nat...”

“Benjamin, Tony may seem calm, but in reality, he tends to act impulsively when faced with issues, especially if those issues concern me. As for Denise, she's a young girl by nature. With you two ahead of her, she's become accustomed to relying on others. Therefore, Benjamin, among the three of you, you are the most composed and the calmest. So, no matter what happens in the future, it's up to you to keep them composed. Do you understand?”

Tears fell directly from Benjamin's eyes as he looked at Natasha. He stepped forward and grabbed her clothes. “Nat, what's really going on with you? Why are you talking like this? I don't want to hear any of this...”

Seeing Benjamin genuinely scared, Natasha extended her hand and placed it on his, “Benjamin, you've always been the bravest. I haven't even said anything yet, so why are you so nervous?”

“I don't want to hear any of this...” Benjamin looked at her. “Nat, what's really going on with you?”

Natasha looked at him, curving her lips into a smile. “It's nothing, just a minor hiccup with my health.”

“What hiccup?”

“I accidentally got poisoned.” Natasha raised an eyebrow.

“Poisoned?” Upon hearing that, Benjamin was instantly stunned. His long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly as if he couldn't bring himself to believe her.

“It's just a minor issue.” Natasha casually brushed it off.

Benjamin pondered for a moment. This word should be unfamiliar to me, but why does it seem like I've heard it somewhere recently? That's right! Thalia! Thalia was poisoned before. I know about that. But recently, Thalia seems fine already.

At that thought, he turned to Natasha. “I-Is it the same as Thalia?”

After some thought, Natasha nodded and said, “Yes, you could say that!”

“But wasn't Thalia also poisoned before, and even before you did? She seems to be fine now, so why does your condition appear to be so severe?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her gorgeous face. “Thalia seems fine now because she has recovered.”

“She recovered?”

Natasha nodded.

“Has the poison been neutralized?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha nodded. “That's right.”

“So, does that mean it can be neutralized?” Benjamin's eyes lit up with hope as he looked at Natasha.
