Chapter 899 Will Nat Be Okay
In no time, Keh arrived upstairs with the food.
Observing the scene, Anthony promptly rose from his chair, making way for Keh.
Thetter approached and arranged the food on the bedside table. Seeing this, Natasha met his gaze
and asked, “I''m not too hungry yet. Can I eatter?”
Keh had already taken the bowl in his hands, his gaze locked on her. “What do you think?” he
countered.
“Of course, we can do that!” Natasha responded confidently.
“How about you guys?” Keh inquired, shifting his attention to Anthony and Benjamin by his side.
Seeing this, both of them shook their heads simultaneously.
Keh redirected his attention to Natasha, asking, “Well, what about now?”
Natasha took a quick look at both of them, her mind pondering any additional words that could be
offered. Presently, the trio had aligned themselves together, sharing amon stance.
“If Denise were here, she''d definitely be on my side!” Natasha murmured. A sudden recollection
crossed her, prompting her to gaze at the boys. “Speaking of which, where is she?”
“She''s probably still sleeping in the room,” Benjamin said. “Should I call her over?”
“No need. She must be tired from ying. Let her sleep,” Natasha intervened.
Right then, Keh carefully lifted a spoonful of oatmeal and gently guided it toward her lips. “Are you
up for some food now?” he inquired.
Natasha observed the situation, a slight frown forming on her brows. Just as she was gearing up to
voice her protest, Anthony took the lead, stepping forward and saying, “Eat up, Nat!”
Natasha''s gaze shifted downward to inspect the bowl''s contents, and with a reluctant sigh, she finally
relented, “Okay, fine!”
With those words, she reached out her hand, signaling that she would take the bowl herself.
Nevertheless, the man insisted, “I''ll feed you.”
“I''m not a patient; I can manage it on my own,” Natasha stated, attempting to take control. However,
Keh skillfully evaded her attempt.
“Just take it as me wanting to disy our affection.” He showed no signs of going along with her
intentions.
Natasha paused briefly,prehending Keh''s intention. She cast a sidelong nce and
responded, “With the kids around, it wouldn''t be appropriate, would it?”
Anthony''s gaze remained fixed on the bowl before Natasha. The contents were abination of foods
known for their nourishing and blood-enriching properties. A suspicion started to take shape in his
thoughts, causing his brows to crease.
“Tony?” Benjamin''s voice called out to him from the side.
Anthony snapped back to reality and turned to look at his younger brother. “What''s wrong?”

“What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing much.” Anthony shook his head.
“Maybe we should give them some space,” Benjamin suggested with a raised eyebrow.
Just then, Anthony''s attention shifted to Natasha and Keh. Natasha was also locking eyes with
him.
After a brief pause, Anthony nodded in agreement.
Observing the dynamics, Benjamin swiftly interjected, “Enjoy your meal, Nat. We''ll give you some
privacy and check in on youter.”
Natasha nodded. “Okay.”
Thus, with Benjamin by his side, Anthony exited the room.
Once the door was shut, Benjamin let out a sigh, casting a concerned look at the preupied Anthony.
“Tony, what''s up with you?”
An inexplicable heaviness settled in Anthony''s heart, and his eyes threatened to fill with tears. Yet,
fearing Benjamin might catch on, he struggled to suppress his emotions.
“What are you talking about?” Anthony asked, feigning nonchnce.
“Of course, I''m talking about you. What''s going on? You seem preupied, and you and Dad both
seem weird,” Benjamin inquired.
Anthony paused briefly, his gaze instinctively shifting toward Benjamin. He recognized that if he didn''t
provide some exnation, Benjamin might start piecing things together.
With these thoughts in mind, Anthony hesitated for a moment before speaking, “It''s just that seeing Nat
lose so much weight all of a sudden has been bothering me. But don''t worry, it''s not a big deal!”
Benjamin, too, furrowed his brows, his expression reflecting concern. “You''re right, there''s definitely
something off. Even if Nat wanted to lose weight, she wouldn''t have shed so much all of a sudden,”
Benjamin remarked, then added in a soft murmur, “And honestly, when has Nat ever been the type to
worry about her appearance?”
Worried that Benjamin might continue probing, Anthony quickly intervened, saying, “Okay, stop
overthinking things. It''s gettingte, and you should grab something to eat!”
“Aren''t you going?” Benjamin looked at him.
“I''ve already eaten.”
“So early?”
“Yeah, and if you don''t go now, there won''t be anything left!”
“Want to join me for another round of eating?” Benjamin raised an eyebrow.
“No way!” With that, Anthony swiftly headed to his room.
“What are you going off to do?”
“Take a nap,” Anthony said without looking back.
Observing his retreat into the room, Benjamin couldn''t help but release a resigned sigh before making
his way downstairs.
Upon entering the room, Anthony found himself ovee with tears that welled up in his eyes.
Leaning against the door, he attempted to suppress his emotions, yet the more he struggled, the more
his tears flowed uncontrobly.
He knew that his sense was right. The sense of unease that had persisted from yesterday until now
had finally crystallized into understanding.
In just a matter of days, how had things taken such a turn? No wonder Nat''s calls had been dwindling
Each time he recalled the days when he had been absent, and Natasha had suffered from the torment
of the poison, Anthony''s heart ached in waves.
Nat... If only I could bear all the pain and suffering for you!
Anthony crouched on the floor, allowing his emotions to flow freely.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
After releasing his pent-up emotions, Anthony gradually felt a sense of relief from the suffocating
sadness. He realized he couldn''t remain in that state forever. He needed toe up with a n and
gain a clearer understanding of the situation.
With this determination, he wiped away his tears,posed himself, and then left the room.
After careful consideration, Anthony concluded that the only potential breakthrough was Spencer.
Following his decision, Anthony made his way to theboratory. Standing outside the door, he took a
deep breath and finally knocked, bracing himself for the conversation ahead.
Despite his repeated knocks, there was no response from inside theboratory. Growing concerned,
Anthony was on the verge of pushing the door open when a noise suddenly caught his attention from
behind.
“Looking for me?”
Anthony turned around, only to find Spencer standing not far behind him. In the span of a few days,
Spencer had grown noticeably haggard.
The words that Anthony had intended to ask suddenly seemed to catch in his throat at that moment.
After a while, the boy nodded. “Yeah.”
Spencer met his gaze, seemingly able to deduce something from Anthony''s expression. He
approached, opened the door, and simply said, “Come in.”
As Anthony stepped inside, Spencer instructed, “Close the door.”
The boy did as he was told.
Spencer seated himself at his desk, methodically donning a pair of gloves, as though he were
preparing to resume his work.
Observing this, Anthony took a seat across from him and remarked, “It''s been a while.”
Hearing this, Spencer raised his gaze to meet Anthony''s and remarked, “I didn''t expect that as your
opening line.”
The boy was rendered speechless.
“Have you seen Natasha?” Spencer asked.
The mention of Natasha conjured an image of her frail form in Anthony''s mind, prompting an
ufortable sensation to prickle his nostrils. Nheless, he managed to suppress it and merely
emitted a subdued hum in response.
The subtle quiver in that single hum didn''t escape Spencer''s notice. He pressed his lips together, his
gaze fixed on Anthony. With straightforward candor, he spoke. “If you have questions, fire away.”
Anthony''s reddened eyes were fixed on Spencer, his emotions clearly evident. Trying to hold back his
emotions, he managed to form the question, his voice wavering, “Will Nat... be okay?”
