Chapter 614


    Natasha came out of the room.


    Keh was waiting right outside. When he saw her, he immediately walked up to her.


    “How did it go?” the man asked with concern.


    Shaking her head, she forced a smile and replied, “Everything is fine.”


    Perhaps Keh knew her too well that he could not help but feel that her gaze seemed a little


    different than usual.


    “I''ll go and check on Thalia,” said Natasha.


    He nodded. “Okay.”


    With that, she strode off. Looking at her retreating figure, he drew his brows together into a frown.


    Secondster, he retracted his gaze and made his way into Spencer''sboratory.


    Just as Natasha was about to reach Thalia''s room, she bumped into Dave, who had walked up the


    stairs not too long ago.


    “How''s everything? Are you all right?” he asked.


    Natasha, on the other hand, was scrutinizing him. Once she realized that he was unharmed,


    something became clear to her. “Yeah,” she replied, nodding.


    “Rx. Nothing will happen,” Dave assured her.


    Once again, she nodded, but that time around, there was a smile on her face as she spoke. “I hope


    so.”


    Without another word, he nodded and raised his leg, intending to leave.


    Just then, Natasha called out, “Dave.”


    Dave turned around and looked at her. “Is there anything else?”


    “Yesterday, when Keh went with you to sort out some matters regarding DX Group, did anything


    else happen?” she asked.


    He was stunned momentarily. Then, his gaze went elsewhere before he answered, “No.”


    “That''s good to know,” Natasha responded with a smile. “That''s all I wanted to ask.”


    With a pensive expression, Dave nodded and turned around to leave.


    After taking a few steps, he seemed to havee to some realization. However, by the time he


    looked over his shoulder, all he saw was her walking away.


    His brows puckered in a frown. A beatter, he continued to stride off.


    Meanwhile, Keh entered theboratory.


    “How is it?” he asked as he eyed Spencer.


    “How is what?” Thetter shot back a question instead.


    “Of course, I''m asking about the examination.”


    “For now, I can''t find any problems in the series of tests. To be honest, it''s my first time encountering


    this type of poison. It''s quite challenging, so I will require some time to do my research,” said


    Spencer.


    “How about the antidote?”


    “I need some time before I can give you an answer.”


    Hearing that, Keh nodded. “All right, then.”


    Spencer no longer replied to him. Instead, he continued with his work and began to tinker with his


    equipment.


    Keh pondered for a while before asking, “Did anything happen during the examination earlier


    on?”


    Without looking up, Spencer inquired, “What exactly are you referring to?”


    “There seemed to be something amiss with her when she came out, but I can''t put my finger on it!”


    Keh replied with a frown.


    “Did she?” Spencer retorted before lifting his eyes to nce at him with a nonchnt expression.


    “Howe I didn''t notice it?”


    Keh looked at him and asked, “You didn''t tell her anything, did you?”


    “I know nothing. What can I possibly tell her?”


    Still having his gaze on Spencer, Keh furrowed his brows.


    When there was no response from him, Spencer continued, “Then again, Nat is an extremely


    intelligent woman. Although she doesn''t have high emotional intelligence, she''s very smart in every


    other aspect. There are some things you can hide from her for a while but not forever!”


    His utterances had Keh directing his attention back to him.


    Having made his point, Spencer announced, “All right. I''m starting my experiment, and I need


    silence.”


    In another word, he was chasing Keh away.


    Keh shot a nce at him and asked, “How long do you need?”


    “I can''t be certain at the moment, but I will try my best.”


    Nodding, Keh cast his eyes downward before leaving without a word.


    The moment he walked out, he met Dave.


    “How is it?” thetter asked.


    “I''m afraid he still needs a bit more time,” Keh answered.


    Dave nodded in response. Upon noticing the grim expression on the other man''s face, he consoled


    him by saying, “Don''t worry. Since it''s imed to be the antidote, then it should work. You have


    always been a lucky man. It shouldn''t be any different this time around.”


    A wry smile touched Keh''s lips. “I hope so.”


    Just then, Dave voiced tentatively, “There''s one more thing.”


    “What is it?” Keh asked.


    “The guys at DX Group want to meet you.”


    Keh was taken aback.


    “After thest time, they knew everything. Since then, they have been insisting on meeting you. I... I


    really can''t hold them back anymore. If you refuse to go to them, they may make their way here


    instead,” said Dave.


    Instead of replying to him, Keh knitted his brows.


    “Keh, that matter happened so many years ago. It''s time to let it go!” Dave advised.


    Keh looked up at him.


    “Furthermore, you''re the only one who''s ming yourself for what happened. None of the guys


    nurse a grievance,” Dave continued.


    When Keh still did not respond, he nodded and said, “Fine. You shall make the decision


    yourself. Let''s see if you''ll hide when they find you first or if you''ll go and meet them.”


    A faint smile appeared on Keh''s face. “What else can I say now?”


    Dave narrowed his eyes and asked, “What''s your decision, then?”


    “I''ll go,” said Keh.


    Dave was astonished but pleasantly surprised at the same time. After all, Keh had been


    avoiding DX Group for many years. As of then, he had finally given in.


    “Well, you said so yourself. I''ll let them know about it now. I''m sure they will be overjoyed,” Dave


    uttered.


    Keh gave the matter a thought before saying, “No need. We''ll go over right away.”


    His response left Dave bbergasted.


    “Let me inform Nat. I''ll meet you downstairs in a short while,” said Keh.


    Dave nodded. “Okay.”


    With that, Keh made his way over to Thalia''s room.


    At that moment, Natasha was chatting with Thalia inside the room.


    After resting for a few days, Thalia felt much better.


    “How are you? Are you doing okay?” she asked while looking at Natasha.


    “Aren''t I perfectly fine now?” thetter responded.


    “But that night, you...” Thalia eyed her skeptically.


    Natasha quirked her lips. “I got poisoned, that''s all.”


    Thalia instantly froze. “Poison? What poison?”


    “We aren''t certain at the moment. Spencer is still doing his research. That''s why he hasn''te


    over to see you,” Natasha exined.


    “So, you...”

    “I''m fine.”


    After giving it some thought, Thalia looked at her. “Are the children aware of this?”


    “No.” Natasha shook her head with an indifferent expression. “I''m telling you this because I want


    you to take care of the three of them should anything untoward happens to me.”


    “Me?” Thalia frowned, looking as if she wanted to say something else.


    “I know this request is very sudden. I don''t mean to ask you to take up my responsibility. It''s just that


    the three of them are exceptionally talented and thus would not resign to living ordinary lives. One


    day, they will leave Keh and the safety the Hamilton family can provide for them. Once they join


    Darz, there will be no other family members looking after them. I''ll have to trouble you to look


    out for them when the timees!” Natasha said. Outwardly, she disyed no emotion. It was as if


    she was not talking about herself.


    At that moment, it dawned on Thalia that Natasha was leaving instructions of her will. For her, it was


    a huge responsibility.
