You're Out Daddy

Chapter 516

Three hours later, they safely returned to DX's territory and remained in Dave's house.

Dave could finally breathe a sigh of relief when they arrived home.

They wouldn't bat an eyelash even if members of Vermillion Base, who were in pursuit of them, made it

this far, for even Vermillion Base would have to think twice before acting boorishly here.

In the room, Dave and Natasha helped Kenneth settle in.

“Your room's right across the hallway, Ms. Watson. Just make yourself at home, and let the

housekeeper know if there's anything you need,” said Dave while looking at the woman beside him.

Natasha nodded. “Thank you.”

The man's gaze swept past her as he said, “No need for thanks. I still have some things to take care of.

You should go ahead and get some rest.”

Just then, Natasha called out to him, “Wait.”

Dave turned around and looked at her.

Natasha's gaze then shifted to the man who was lying on the bed. She furrowed her brows slightly, a

tinge of worry crossing her face. “It's been three or four hours already, yet he still hasn't regained

consciousness. Is he going to be all right?”

Dave shifted his gaze at Kenneth when he heard Natasha's words. Curling the corner of his lips

upward, he reassured the worried woman, “He hasn't slept for many days, and he lost quite a bit of

blood. It's normal for him not to regain consciousness for some time.”

“He hasn't slept for days?” A hint of surprise glinted in Natasha's eyes.

Dave nodded at her. “He was worried and needed to make some arrangements, so he barely got any

shut-eye.”

Natasha contemplated for a moment before turning her gaze toward the unconscious man behind her.

“If you're worried, I'll get a doctor to come over and check,” suggested Dave.

“No need. If that's the case, then just let him rest.”

Dave nodded in agreement. Seeing how intently the woman was looking at Kenneth, he didn't utter

another word and quietly retracted his gaze before leaving.

Natasha walked toward Kenneth and sat by his bed. While she looked at him, the images of Kenneth

saving her came flooding back into her mind. She couldn't help lifting the corners of her lips.

After what seemed like a long time, Anthony and Benjamin walked into the room.

The two children had just taken a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes, making them look

sharper.

When they stepped inside and saw Natasha was still watching over their father, the two boys

suggested, “We'll look after Daddy, Nat. You should go clean up!”

“I'll stay for a little longer.”

“Geez, Nat, we'll be right here. We promise we won't let Daddy out of our sights, not even for a single

second.” As he spoke, Benjamin hooked his arm around Natasha's and began walking her out. “Nat,

you should think about the others even if you don't care about yourself. You're covered with blood and

dirt. Get yourself cleaned up. You'll feel much better, and it'll be a treat to the eyes!”

Natasha turned to look at the boy. “A treat to whose eyes?”

Benjamin stilled for a split second before wittily responding, “Mine and Anthony's!”

“You two have seen me in various states already.”

“Gosh, Nat. I bet you won't dare to argue if Denise was here,” retorted Benjamin.

There was nothing else Natasha could say at this point.

She cast a worried glance at the man on the bed before finally relenting. “I'll go get cleaned up, then.

You two watch over Kenneth closely, all right?”

“Don't worry, Nat. We'll make sure to do a great job, perhaps even better than you did,” Benjamin

reassured.

A smile tugged at the corners of Natasha's lips, and she didn't say anything more as she made her way

out.

“Nat, your room is the one right across the hallway!” Anthony reminded.

“Got it!”

Natasha headed straight for her room after leaving Kenneth's.

She'd left her luggage in Boss' car and was worried she wouldn't have another set of clothes to change

into after washing up. However, Natasha was greeted by a ton of clothes as soon as she entered the

room.

There were all sorts of luxury and designer clothes on the bed.

The style of the clothes was minimalistic, and they all looked timeless.

Initially, Natasha thought a woman must have lived here in the past, but she quickly noticed that all of

the clothes still had their tags attached, and they were all in her size.

When she recalled how Anthony reminded her about her room, Natasha figured that the clothes

must've been prepared for her.

At that, she stopped standing on ceremony, took the clothes, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

The sensation of warm water hitting her skin felt so comfortable that Natasha couldn't resist closing her

eyes.

Everything that happened in the past few days began replaying in her mind like a movie.

Natasha never expected that one day, she'd have blood on her own two hands.

I'm no pushover, and I believe in the saying, “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.”

For that reason, I won't show an ounce of mercy to anyone who dares to offend me.

However, when the image of the corpses laying on the ground flashed through her mind, Natasha's

eyes fluttered open.

Clean water ran down her body, following its slender curves. There were a couple of scars on her fair

skin, but despite that, her skin looked bright and supple.

Natasha's gaze appeared calm and cool.

Once she was done washing up, Natasha walked out of the bathroom and blew her hair until it was

partially dried. Then, she got dressed and made her way out of the room.

She had just taken a few steps when she bumped into Dave.

The man was heading to Kenneth's room and saw Natasha just as he arrived.

When he saw her, a trace of surprise glinted in Dave's eyes. Although Natasha was wearing simple,

neutral-colored clothes, she looked gentle, and there was an indescribable elegance and beauty about

her.

The clothes looked different on her compared to everyone else.

Moreover, the woman exuded a different air than she did at the restaurant. That night, she looked aloof

and distant, like an angel that was sent from the heavens. Now, her gaze looked softer, and the wispy

hair framing her face only enhanced her beauty. It was truly a sight to behold.

Dave was lost in thoughts as he looked at her.

Just then, Natasha noticed him and walked over to the man. “Sorry, are these clothes for someone—”

“Don't worry! The clothes are brand new,” said Dave.

“Did you prepare them?”

Dave retracted his gaze and explained, “The housekeeper prepared some clothes for everyone.”

Hearing this, Natasha nodded in understanding. “Thank you. They fit perfectly.”

“You're Kenneth's woman, so there's no need for you to be so courteous toward me. Just call me Dave

as he does,” said the man softly.

Seeing no reason to turn him down, Natasha nodded and flashed him a gentle smile. “Likewise. You

can just call me by my name.”

It was as if Natasha was a woman who only had green flags. She didn't put on any airs, which set her

apart from most women.

At that thought, Dave couldn't help muttering under his breath, “J sure is lucky to have her.”

“What did you say?” asked Natasha.

Dave instantly snapped back to his senses and shook his head as he looked at her. “Nothing.”

Just then, he was reminded of something and added, “Oh, something happened to Vermillion Base's

General Will. Did you know about that?”

Upon hearing that, Natasha felt her heart stop for a second. “What happened?” she asked.

“I don't know the specifics. According to sources, General Will has fallen sick. I'm not sure how reliable

the information is, but Boss has been placed in charge of Vermillion Base for the time being.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes at the news.
