Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 975

Upon hearing the sound, Natasha grew anxious.

“Phone,” she said.

In a corner of the bed, Denise pulled out her phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, a trace of ambiguity flashed in her eyes. The next second, she handed the phone to Natasha. “It's Tony.”

Seeing that, Natasha immediately took the phone, swiped on the phone, and answered the call.

“Hello.”

“Nat,” Anthony whispered on the other end of the phone.

Natasha listened, her eyebrows furrowing. “Yes. What's wrong?”

“How are you? Are you feeling okay?” Anthony asked.

Upon hearing the voice, Natasha responded, “I'm doing quite well. Denise is taking care of me!”

“We've got the antidote. After checking it today, Spencer found no issues, so we'll send it back to you!” Anthony said.

Upon hearing that, Natasha fell silent, seemingly indifferent to the matter of the antidote. After a moment, she asked, “Your voice sounds off, Anthony. Has something happened?”

“No!” Anthony immediately denied. “I probably just had a tiring night and feel a bit sleepy.”

Natasha pursed her lips, her gaze gradually dimming. After a moment, she asked, “How's your daddy? Is he doing okay?”

“Daddy is in a meeting with Mr. Dave... I guess he won't be free for a while!” Anthony said.

“Hasn't everything been settled already? Why the need for a meeting?” Natasha asked.

“The matter has come to an end, but after all, Vermillion Base is not a small place. There are still many things to be taken care of...”

After a moment of silence, Natasha said, “All right. I understand!”

“Nat...”

“Yes?”

“Never mind. I'll be back to see you soon,” Anthony said.

Natasha nodded. “All right. I'll wait for you!”

Just like that, the call ended.

Natasha held her phone, her slender features taut. The smile that was on her face just a moment ago gradually disappeared.

Denise watched from the side, noticing her serious expression. She moved closer and asked, “Nat, what's wrong?”

Natasha regained her senses, then looked at Denise and smiled. “It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of something...”

“Oh. Nat, it's getting cold. Let's eat quickly,” Denise said.

Natasha was smiling as she continued to eat the food in her bowl. Her face wore a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

Meanwhile, Anthony's phone was right next to Kenneth's ear.

Seeing the person still lying in bed, Anthony finally put away his phone. “Daddy, did you hear that? Nat is still waiting for us to return home. If you don't want her to worry or get angry, then you need to get better soon...”

At that moment, everyone in the room couldn't bear to watch, turning their gazes elsewhere.

Dave stepped forward, patting him on the head. “All right. Off you go. Let your daddy have some good rest!”

“No!” Anthony shook his head. “I want to stay here with him until he wakes up.”

Dave furrowed his brows.

Just then, as he was about to say something else, Spencer uttered. “Let him stay here. Sometimes, having loved ones around can actually inspire a stronger will to live.”

“Will it?” Dave asked.

“When Anthony put the phone to his ear to hear Natasha's voice just now, his heartbeat clearly sped up. So, it worked!” Spencer asserted confidently.
