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?”


    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.
