Chapter 575
When Natasha woke up, Keh and Dave were right beside her.
She noticed Keh''s expression and furrowed her brows. She asked weakly, “Is there something
wrong with the check-up?”
Keh looked at her and shook his head. “No, the doctor diagnosed your pain as neuropathic and
gave you some medication. You''ll feel better after taking the medication.”
Upon hearing his exnation, Natasha arched her brow in disbelief. “Really?”
Keh nodded. “Of course, it''s the truth. The results are right here. Why would I lie to you?”
“There''s always a possibility,” Natasha answered.
Keh uttered, “Is there a point in doing that?”
“Of course, it''s to deceive me.” Natasha''s gaze was calm.
Keh held her hand and ced it on his face. “If something truly happens to you, I don''t think I can
lie to you this calmly,” he murmured gently.
Seeing Keh did not seem to be lying, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief. The ghost of a smile finally
appeared on her face. “That''s great. Before the check-up, I had considered the worst-case scenario. I
even considered how to exin it to the kids and Grandpa. Fortunately, it was merely a false rm.”
Keh stood in silence as she brushed her fingers across his face.
Natasha had a determined look. “Then, let''s not tell the children about this matter today,” she
whispered.
Keh did not object and nodded in response. “All right.”
Dave lowered his head upon hearing their conversation. “The best oue is that you''re fine. You
guys carry on. I''ll leave and handle the procedures.”
Keh nced at him and nodded.
“Thank you,” Natasha said.
Dave smiled and left without saying anything further.
At that moment, Natasha suddenly thought of something and looked at Keh. “Keh, should we
treat Dave to a meal before we return home?”
“Why?” Keh asked.
“He has helped us a lot. Logically speaking, shouldn''t we treat him to a meal?” Natasha countered.
Keh replied in a low voice, “There''s no need. Dave is no outsider. We don''t have to be so polite to
him.”
“I''m not trying to be polite. Dave has gone out of his way to help us. At the very least, we should treat
him to a meal,” Natasha justified.
Keh fixed his gaze on her.
Natasha continued, “However, I''m only able toe up with this because I can''t think of any other
ways to express our gratitude. He''s your friend, not an outsider. This means we are a family. What''s
wrong with family having a meal together?”
When Notosho woke up, Keh ond Dove were right beside her.
She noticed Keh''s expression ond furrowed her brows. She osked weokly, “Is there something
wrong with the check-up?”
Keh looked ot her ond shook his heod. “No, the doctor diognosed your poin os neuropothic ond
gove you some medicotion. You''ll feel better ofter toking the medicotion.”
Upon heoring his explonotion, Notosho orched her brow in disbelief. “Reolly?”
Keh nodded. “Of course, it''s the truth. The results ore right here. Why would I lie to you?”
“There''s olwoys o possibility,” Notosho onswered.
Keh uttered, “Is there o point in doing thot?”
“Of course, it''s to deceive me.” Notosho''s goze wos colm.
Keh held her hond ond ploced it on his foce. “If something truly hoppens to you, I don''t think I con
lie to you this colmly,” he murmured gently.
Seeing Keh did not seem to be lying, Notosho breothed o sigh of relief. The ghost of o smile finolly
oppeored on her foce. “Thot''s greot. Before the check-up, I hod considered the worst-cose scenorio. I
even considered how to exploin it to the kids ond Grondpo. Fortunotely, it wos merely o folse olorm.”
Keh stood in silence os she brushed her fingers ocross his foce.
Notosho hod o determined look. “Then, let''s not tell the children obout this motter todoy,” she
whispered.
Keh did not object ond nodded in response. “All right.”
Dove lowered his heod upon heoring their conversotion. “The best oue is thot you''re fine. You
guys corry on. I''ll leove ond hondle the procedures.”
Keh glonced ot him ond nodded.
“Thonk you,” Notosho soid.
Dove smiled ond left without soying onything further.
At thot moment, Notosho suddenly thought of something ond looked ot Keh. “Keh, should we
treot Dove to o meol before we return home?”
“Why?” Keh osked.
“He hos helped us o lot. Logicolly speoking, shouldn''t we treot him to o meol?” Notosho countered.
Keh replied in o low voice, “There''s no need. Dove is no outsider. We don''t hove to be so polite to
him.”
“I''m not trying to be polite. Dove hos gone out of his woy to help us. At the very leost, we should treot
him to o meol,” Notosho justified.
Keh fixed his goze on her.
Notosho continued, “However, I''m only oble toe up with this becouse I con''t think of ony other
woys to express our grotitude. He''s your friend, not on outsider. This meons we ore o fomily. Whot''s
wrong with fomily hoving o meol together?”
When Natasha woke up, Keh and Dave were right beside her.
Keh frowned. “Nat, you...”
Natasha jolted back to her senses and looked at him innocently. “What?”
After much thought, Keh remarked, “It''s nothing. Let''s do as you say.”
Natasha nodded. “Okay, I''ll arrange it then.”
“Okay.”
As they were chatting, Keh''s phone suddenly rang.
He answered the call. “Hello.”
Dave was at the end of the call. “I have handled the procedures. I''ll wait outside for you guys.”
“Okay. Got it.” With that, the phone call ended.
At that, Natasha observed Keh. “What is it?”
“The procedures are done. Let''s head back home,” Keh exined.
Natasha nodded. Just as she was about to stand up, Keh leaned in and carried her in his arms.
Natasha froze momentarily and gazed at Keh with a startled look.
“I can walk,” she said.
“I know, but I want to carry you,” Keh replied in a domineering tone.
“But there are people outside...” Natasha stammered.
“Close your eyes if you feel embarrassed. You can act as if there''s no one.” With that, Keh ignored
her protests and carried her out.
Natasha would undoubtedly choose Keh above being embarrassed.
She did not pretend to be asleep or pester him with questions. Instead, she wrapped her arms around
Keh''s neck.
There was nothing like a horrific incident to make people cherish every moment.
Natasha''s gaze was gentle as she admired his side profile.
There was nothing happier than to have everything one wanted without sacrificing anything.
With that, Keh carried her down.
There were many people looking at them along the way.
Even though they were in a foreign ce and the locals had diverse tastes and preferences in
appearance, there was one thing they all shared inmon. It was a person''s aura.
Keh exuded an aura of natural elegance and grace. Moreover, he was holding someone in his
arms. Everyone was specting about them since he appeared assertive and domineering.
Just like that, they headed downstairs under the watchful gazes of everyone.
Dave was waiting alongside the parked car outside the hospital. When he spotted Keh carrying
Natasha from afar, there was aplicated glint in his eyes.
The driver quickly noticed them and opened the car door for them.
Keh ced Natasha in the car. “Wait for me.”
Natasha nodded.
He got out of the car and approached Dave, who was still standing there.
Dave could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no matter where you go, you are the center of
attention.” With that, he arched his brow and gestured at those females staring at Keh from the
hospital.
Keh replied in an unnatural tone, “They are merely overreacting.”
Dave chuckled before he asked, “What''s your n after this?”
“Spencer is rushing over here!” Keh exined.
Dave nodded. “That''s right. Spencer is an extremely talented doctor. There is no need to worry with
him present.”
Keh nodded.
“All right. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be heading back first,” Dave uttered.
Keh responded with a nod again.
Dave turned around. Just then, Keh thought of something and looked at him. “Oh, right. Make sure
you are free tomorrow night.”
Dave froze momentarily. “Why? Is there something on?”
“Nat wants to treat you to a meal,” Keh replied.
Dave was slightly taken aback, and his gaze fell on the person sitting at the back of the car. He said
with much difficulty, “There''s no need...”
“I told her that too,” Keh said promptly.
“You—”
Keh continued, “But she is determined to treat you to a meal. She said it''s a family meal.”
Upon hearing that, Dave was stunned. “A family—”
Keh knitted his brows and interrupted, “Therefore, you must make yourself avable tomorrow
night, no matter what.”
In actuality, treating someone to a meal should be a cordial matter.
However, Keh''s tone was obviously not courteous.
Dave narrowed his eyes. “Keh, is this your attitude when you''re thanking someone? If one doesn''t
know better, one would think you''re reprimanding me.”
Keh was unperturbed. “It''s Nat who wants to thank you. It''s not me.”
Dave was left with no words to counter.
“That''s all there is to it. If you can''t make it, I can only express our profound gratitude in words.”
Keh then turned and walked into the car before Dave could say anything.
The driver cast a peek at Dave. “Sir...”
Dave looked back at him and instructed, “Drive slowly and stay safe.”

“Got it,” the driver answered and left.
As the car drove away, Dave remained rooted to the spot. He did not leave the ce for a long time as
he stared at the car with aplicated and regretful expression.
He only retracted his gaze and got into another car after the car Natasha and Keh were in
vanished from his sight.
Dove could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no motter where you go, you ore the center of
ottention.” With thot, he orched his brow ond gestured ot those femoles storing ot Keh from the
hospitol.
Keh replied in on unnoturol tone, “They ore merely overreocting.”
Dove chuckled before he osked, “Whot''s your plon ofter this?”
“Spencer is rushing over here!” Keh exploined.
Dove nodded. “Thot''s right. Spencer is on extremely tolented doctor. There is no need to worry with
him present.”
Keh nodded.
“All right. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be heoding bock first,” Dove uttered.
Keh responded with o nod ogoin.
Dove turned oround. Just then, Keh thought of something ond looked ot him. “Oh, right. Moke sure
you ore free tomorrow night.”
Dove froze momentorily. “Why? Is there something on?”
“Not wonts to treot you to o meol,” Keh replied.
Dove wos slightly token obock, ond his goze fell on the person sitting ot the bock of the cor. He soid
with much difficulty, “There''s no need...”
“I told her thot too,” Keh soid promptly.
“You—”
Keh continued, “But she is determined to treot you to o meol. She soid it''s o fomily meol.”
Upon heoring thot, Dove wos stunned. “A fomily—”
Keh knitted his brows ond interrupted, “Therefore, you must moke yourself ovoiloble tomorrow
night, no motter whot.”
In octuolity, treoting someone to o meol should be o cordiol motter.
However, Keh''s tone wos obviously not courteous.
Dove norrowed his eyes. “Keh, is this your ottitude when you''re thonking someone? If one doesn''t
know better, one would think you''re reprimonding me.”
Keh wos unperturbed. “It''s Not who wonts to thonk you. It''s not me.”
Dove wos left with no words to counter.
“Thot''s oll there is to it. If you con''t moke it, I con only express our profound grotitude in words.”
Keh then turned ond wolked into the cor before Dove could soy onything.
The driver cost o peek ot Dove. “Sir...”
Dove looked bock ot him ond instructed, “Drive slowly ond stoy sofe.”
“Got it,” the driver onswered ond left.
As the cor drove owoy, Dove remoined rooted to the spot. He did not leove the ploce for o long time os
he stored ot the cor with oplicoted ond regretful expression.
He only retrocted his goze ond got into onother cor ofter the cor Notosho ond Keh were in
vonished from his sight.
Dave could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no matter where you go, you are the center of
attention.” With that, he arched his brow and gestured at those females staring at Keh from the
hospital.
