Listening to his words, Thalia furrowed her brows, “That's one way to put it, but have you considered how Natasha would react if she found out about this?”
Spencer furrowed his brows. “At this moment, there isn't much room for thoughts and choices.”
“You are not devoid of thoughts and choices. It's just that as men, you find it easier to understand his thoughts and actions!” Thalia said, emphasizing each word.
Spencer listened, without uttering a word.
Undeniably, there was a certain truth to what Thalia had said.
“Let me ask you this. How do you plan to explain it to Natasha if something really happened to Kenneth?” Thalia asked.
Spencer took a deep breath, then replied, “I don't know...”
Since he couldn't answer her question, Thalia said, “No, I must go and tell Natasha!”
Seeing as she was about to leave, Spencer immediately grabbed her from behind, “Don't act rashly, Thalia!”
“I'm not!” Thalia replied, turning around to look at Spencer as she continued, “You all think and act only from Kenneth's perspective. But I am a woman, and I understand a woman's feelings better. If I were Natasha, and the person I loved had an accident trying to save me, but I didn't know about it until he died, and I didn't even get to see him one last time, I would never be able to get over it all my life!”
“But...”
“Spencer, perhaps others may not understand, but you should be able to, right?” Thalia asked, looking at him.
Spencer's lips were tightly pursed, and the look in his eyes darkened. While others probably couldn't understand matters of life and death, but he should be able to understand it better than anyone else after facing such situations so many times.
As such, he shouldn't try to stop her.
After all, he would indeed do something like this himself if her were in that same position.
Seeing that he remained silent, Thalia said, “I must go!” Without waiting for his response, she turned around and got into the car.
As the engine roared to life, Spencer stood beside it, seemingly lost in thought.
Thalia remained silent as she started the car and got ready to leave. Suddenly, Spencer reached out and firmly placed his hand on the steering wheel.
Fortunately, Thalia managed to hit the brakes in time.
As if she was expecting him to say something, Thalia's eyebrows furrowed tightly when she turned her head to look at him.
A moment later, Spencer looked at her and asked, “Have you ever considered whether Natasha can take such a shock with her current health condition?”
Thalia's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She indeed had not given much thought about that. However, after putting herself in the Natasha's shoes and thinking from a different perspective, she said, “Natasha's weakness lies in her body, not her spirit. She's not as fragile as you think.”
Seeing as Thalia was so determined, Spencer said, “Since you're determined to do this, then I'll go with you.” He then patted the car door and continued, “You take the passenger seat; I'll drive!”
Although Thalia's mind hadn't quite caught up yet, her body had already instinctively moved to the passenger seat. Seeing this, Spencer got directly into the car.
“Go ahead and take a nap. I'll let you know when we get there!” Saying this, he started the car and drove off.
At that moment, Thalia was in no mood to sleep as her mind was in complete disarray.
However, as she watched Spencer's figure, she leaned back in her seat, her tense body gradually beginning to relax.
“How's your injury?” she suddenly asked.
Spencer was driving with one hand when he heard this. He glanced at his arm and said nonchalantly, “It's nothing; just a minor injury!”
Thalia pursed her lips as her gaze drifted toward the window.
As the scenery outside the car window passed by, Thalia hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Spencer, if something like last night were to happen again, I hope that you're the one who survives.”
Upon hearing these words, Spencer's blinked a couple of times and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Thalia pursed her lips and replied, “What I mean is, no matter what happens, I want you to take care of yourself first before taking care of me!”
Spencer narrowed his eyes, clearly understanding her intentions, yet he deliberately played dumb.
