Chapter 765 Denise The Healer
Spencer''s eyes darkened, and his face fell. “You know you''re making me angry, don''t you?” He cocked
his eyebrow.
“Of course.” Keh looked at him. “But if you''re smart enough, you won''t do such a silly thing.”
Spencer stared back at Keh, and he mocked, “Get off your high horse, Keh. I know you''d want
to do the same thing, no?”
“Yes,” Keh answered honestly, the look in his eyes indifferent. “It''s honestly a much easier way.
The easiest way out in this situation, in fact.”
Spencer sized the man up in silence.
Keh continued, “But I won''t do that for now. Not unless I''ve figured out the whole truth. A simple
cure isn''t valuable enough to make me lose my rationale.”
A smirk curled Spencer''s lips. “Honestly, the fact that you said that either means you''re mentally tough,
noble, or you don''t care about Nat enough.”
If it were Spencer, he wouldn''t have let Thalia suffer. If Keh does like Nat that much, he won''t let
her suffer as well. We should all be selfish in matters of the heart. Being all noble is just... foolish.
A smile broke out on Keh''s lips. He said hoarsely, “I''m not a noble guy indeed. I can be as
underhanded as need be, but if I were to do that, I''d have killed you the second we got the cure. This
conversation wouldn''t have happened.”
“Ah, right. That''s the real you.” Spencer looked at him.
“But I''m sure she would leave me forever if I had done that.”
Spencer paused for a moment. That''s true. Nat would do that. And to think all I''ve considered was the
one to get this cure, not what they would do after that.
“Nat''s not the kind of person who''d sacrificed herself just to save someone else. She''s not the kind of
woman. She treasures her life more than anyone, but I know what she''ll do in this case.” Keh
looked at Spencer. “She''ll let Thalia live.”
Spencer looked at him, and he tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth.
“Even though Nat transferred Thalia her blood out of her kindness, she never thought things would turn
out this badly, but she still thinks this is her fault. And she thinks the children are the reason Thalia is
here. We cannot deny that. Perhaps it''s an obligation, and perhaps it''s because of their new friendship,
but one thing''s for sure—Nat will save Thalia.”
“So, what are you trying to say?”
“I need time to think. And this might be the only cure we have for now, but it''s not necessarily so in the
future. We always have a chance as long as we''re alive. I was able to get the cure once, so I can
definitely do that again,” stated Keh solemnly.
Spencer pursed his lips but said nothing.
Keh looked at him for a while. He tensed up a little, a spark of fury burning within him. But in the
end, he left without saying anything.
Spencer was left in theb. As he nced at Keh''s disappearing figure after the door closed, a
Instead of going back to the room, Keh went around to get some fresh air. He would be lying if he
said he didn''t want the cure for Natasha.
Every time he thought of how she tried to hold it in while the poison kicked in, it felt like someone was
stabbing him over and over with a knife. Everything he told Spencer was also a warning he was telling
himself.
It was times like this that they must stay calm. One rash move could cost them everything. Keh
took a cigarette out, lit it up, and had a few slow puffs.
He seldom smoked. Only when he was frustrated. Nicotine was the only thing that could stop him from
doing anything rash. He held the cigarette between his fingers, and his brows knitted in a frown.
Swirls of smoke twirled around him, and before he knew it, the ground around him was littered with
cigarette butts.
Right at that moment, someone called him softly from behind, “Daddy.”
He turned around only to see Denise holding a doll in her arms. She seemed adorable and delicate
while dressed in pajamas and a pair of tiny slippers.
The sight of Denise made Keh''s frown ease up a little. “Denise? Why are you still up?”
Denise inched closer. “I was going to get a ss of water, then I saw you.” She then looked at the
cigarette butts on the ground. “Are you bothered by something, Daddy?”
Keh ced Denise on hisp. “It''s nothing.”
“You''re lying, Daddy,” Denise grumbled. “You only smoke when you''re upset. Nat told us that.”
Keh was surprised. “Nat did? When?”
“It''s been a long time. I don''t remember.”

Keh''s frown disappeared even more.
Denise suddenly held his cheeks. “I don''t know what''s upsetting you, Daddy, but smile. Smiling always
works. We''ll always be with you. Nat, Tony, Ben, and I will always be with you.”
There''s nothing more reassuring than your children trying to cheer you up. Keh did feel
reinvigorated. He patted her head. “Thank you, Denise. You just swept all my problems away.”
“Really?” The girl''s eyes shone brightly.
“Of course.” Keh nodded.
Denise smiled. She then put her fingers on the corners of Keh''s lips and tried to form a smile.
“Smile, Daddy. You''re the most handsome man in the world when you smile.”
“Is that so?” Keh arched an eyebrow.
“Of course.” Denise giggled, then she rested her head on him. “You''re the best and most handsome
Daddy in the world.”
His daughter''s praise slowly cheered him up. “I think so too.”
Denise lifted her head and shot Keh a grim look. “Daddy, it should be your turn to praise me.”
A moment of ponderingter, Keh said, “Mm. You''re the best daughter in the world, Denise.”
Denise pouted and muttered, “That''s some. You should have said, ''You''re the prettiest, cutest, and
most caring daughter in the world.'' That''s more like it.”
As Keh stared at his daughter, his lips curled into a faint smile. His frustration disappeared bit by
bit, all thanks to the girl.
