Chapter 260


    It was another night of terror for Natasha. Scenes of her parents'' horrible death and her entrapment


    in the fire haunted her through the night.


    In her dream, the tattoo on her father''s body blossomed like a flower, and it shone in blue light as its


    image became more vivid.


    Just then, Natasha suddenly opened her eyes, seeing the ceiling right above her.


    In a daze, she stared at it for a long time until she heard muffled voices of people talkinging


    from the outside. Looking at the time, she decided to get up.


    Opening the door, she went out to the dining area where Terence and


    Keh were talking over breakfast. The two stopped conversing the moment they saw her.


    “Why are you up early today?” Terence asked. “Did we wake you up?”


    “No,” Natasha replied faintly.


    “You don''t look good. Are you all right?” Keh asked, observing her with a frown.


    “I''m good. I just didn''t sleep that well,” the woman responded. “Where are the kids?”


    “Denise went filming early in the morning. Anthony and Benjamin went upstairs. I figured the woman


    staying there would feel lonely, so I asked them to send her some food,” Terence exined.


    That reminded Natasha of what happened between Thalia and


    Spencer, and she wordlessly nodded.


    As for Keh, he had been watching Natasha closely. He knew she would not have a good night''s


    sleep, and he was afraid she might do something rash, so he came over early in the morning.


    “Do you want to have something?” he asked, opening the breakfast he brought before putting it in


    front of her. “You can go back to sleep after this if you''re tired.”


    The woman nodded and started eating, still looking as though she had a lot on her mind.


    Terence felt more delighted looking at her as he recalled Anthony and Benjamin''s words.


    Just then, he announced, “I''m done. You guys continue eating. I''ll go do some exercise.” He took a


    look at


    Keh and walked away.


    Naturally, Keh knew what the elder man was thinking. After all, thetter had disapproved of


    them in the beginning, but now he started giving the two of them alone time.


    When Terence was finally gone, Keh retracted his gaze and looked at Natasha. “You know he


    worries a lot about you, right?”


    Natasha nced up at him before looking over at the door. Closing her eyes, she asked, “Did he


    ask you about it?”


    “Yeah. Why else would I be here eating breakfast?” Keh asked in return.


    “I see you have self-awareness.” Natasha smirked.


    Keh stared harder at her. “Other people might not realize a thing, but nothing about you goes


    unnoticed by Old Mr. Watson.”


    Natasha did not say otherwise, for she knew that Terence would still be able to see through her


    pretenses no matter how hard she tried to put up a front.


    “So, did you tell him anything?” Natasha queried.


    “I didn''t. He''s old, and you''re the one he cares the most about, so telling him the truth will only keep


    him up all night. I think it''s better to keep it from him.”


    Hearing that, Natasha gazed at him gratefully.


    “Thanks,” she uttered.


    “As I said yesterday, you don''t have to thank me for anything.”


    Natasha looked at him quietly, for there was nothing else she could think of to say to him.


    Since he already said there was no need for it, Natasha did not see why she should behave so


    formally around him, so she just continued eating.


    Keh could tell her mind was somewhere else, but she still refused to say anything about it.


    “Does this have anything to do with... your parents'' death?” he asked suddenly after careful


    consideration.


    Natasha froze and looked up at him in surprise.


    "I guess it''s a ''yes,'' then,” Keh remarked, seeing her reaction.


    “How did you know? I mean, did you recall something?”


    Keh stared at her intently. So, she knows I lost my memory, but she didn''t tell me a word about


    this issue.


    “I heard a thing or two about what happened during your childhood from Old Mr. Watson, so I guess


    it must be rted to your parents,” Keh finally replied.


    “I see.” Natasha nodded, her eyes darkening.


    “Can you tell me why you think they are rted to your parents'' death, Nat?”


    Natasha pursed her lips at his question, hesitating whether she should tell him or not.


    After all, it was her personal issue, so it was not necessary that she involved Keh.


    Moreover, it was no ordinary people she was dealing with.


    If they were indeed the culprits, it meant that Natasha''s road of revenge was one riddled with


    danger and risk.


    “Is it because of the tattoo?” Keh asked again when she kept mum.

    Natasha stared at him, her eyes dark.


    “I went back to the hotel to look at the surveince cameras'' footage after I sent you home


    yesterday,” Keh admitted, dispelling the doubt in Natasha''s eyes.


    I see... I didn''t expect him to do that.


    “Keh,” she stressed after some thinking, “I know you have the best intention of helping me, but


    this is something personal I have to deal with.” “What do you mean?” Keh questioned instantly,


    narrowing his eyes.


    “What I mean is, our rtionship has long ended, so this has nothing to do with you. You don''t have


    to do anything for me.”


    Her words angered the man. “Are you pushing me away?”


    “I''m just telling you the truth.”


    “What''s the truth here, Nat? You know how I feel about you. You know I won''t just sit and watch


    without doing anything. With what you just now, you''re clearly pushing me away!”


    Words eluded Natasha, and she pursed her lips.


    “If somehow, we have to be rted for you to receive my help, then I will just remarry you!” Keh


    snapped.


    His outburst elicited a frown on Natasha''s brows as she stared at him.


    “Where is your household registry?” he asked.


    “Keh...”


    “Is it in your room?” He quirked a brow as he got to his feet and walked toward her room.


    Seeing that, Natasha quickly chased after him. “Keh! Calm down!”


    Entering the room, Keh was about to open her drawer when the woman held him. “Keh,


    could you just calm down?”


    The next moment, Keh whipped his head back, pinned her against the wall between his arms,


    and stared at her coldly. “Calm down? Well, I wish I could do that, Nat! But if I do that, what else


    must I do to stop you from pushing me away and treating me like an outsider?” he bellowed.


    There was so much anger and hurt in his eyes that Natasha did not know how to reply.


    Keh grabbed her hand and put it on his chest, fuming, “Should I take my heart out so you can


    see for yourself how serious I am about you this time?”


    Pressed against the wall, Natasha had to look up at him. With her hand on his chest, she could the


    quick heartbeat of his heart.


    Thump, thump, thump.


    It was as if his heart was calling out to her.
