Chapter 627
While walking, Natasha suddenly dropped her hold on Keh''s arm. Her hands fell to her sides
and balled into fists as she tried her best to endure the agony battering her.
Keh was just about to say something when he noticed that she had stopped walking. He
nced back over his shoulder. “What''s wrong?”
Natasha said nothing but merely stood there ramrod straight as though fighting against the pain
within her.
“Nat...” Keh stared at her. Seemingly having perceived something, he promptly turned anxious.
Still, Natasha remained silent. Her slender hands were clenched so tightly that they had turned
white. She spared no effort in weathering through the excruciating pain, but it assailed her in waves,
each time more intense than thest. In the end, she snapped and dropped into a crouch while
cradling her head with both hands.
“Nat!” Keh swiftly rushed forward and supported her. Such distress inundated him to see her in
horrible agony that he nched.
“Ahh!” Natasha had already gone all out to hold herself back, but ultimately, she let out a low roar.

Panicking, Keh stepped forward and scooped her up without a second''s dy. “I''ll bring you to
Spencer right away, Nat!”
No sooner had he done so than Natasha shook her head. “No!”
Keh regarded her with a mystified look in his eyes.
“D-Denise is still in the car. W-We can''t have her know about this,” Natasha stuttered. Her entire
person was trembling from the pain, but even so, she was still enduring it, trying to mask her
suffering.
Keh''s heart clenched tighter the more she tried to act nonchnt.
His eyes that were pinned on her gradually turned scarlet. “You won''t be able to hold out if this goes
on, Nat.”
“I... I''m fine. I''ll be just fine in a while.” s, a heartbeat after Natasha''s words had fallen, her face
contorted even further.
“Ahh!” With a low howl, she cradled her head in both hands as unbearable pain assailed her.
No longer in the mood to bother about anything else, Keh scooped her up to take her away. “I''ll
hail a taxi and bring you back!”
Natasha wanted to argue further, but wave after wave of agony hit her as though someone was
hitting her head with a massive hammer. She felt like her head would explode anytime.
“Keh! Keh!” She clutched at his cor, desiring to say something. The words were at the tip
of her tongue, but she trembled so much that she couldn''t speak. All she could do was put all her
strength into enduring the racking pain.
Keh knew there was something she wanted to say to him, but he didn''t dare stop walking.
He continued striding forward, but strangely enough, no vehicles drove by the roadside.
As he waited for a taxi, every single second felt like an eternity.
In fact, the urge to hijack a car seized him when he gazed at the woman in her arms.
Putting Natasha down, he was just about to leave to get a car when she grabbed him. “Keh...”
“Wait for me, Nat! I''ll go and look for a taxi!” Keh vowed.
However, Natasha tightened her grip on his cor, showing no signs of letting go.
The pedestrians walking past nced at the couple on the ground every so often, but no one came
forward to inquire whether they needed help.
“Nat...” Clocking Natasha''s utter agony, Keh knew that she was enduring unspeakable pain
every passing second.
“K-Knock me out!” Natasha pleaded with much difficulty.
Keh gaped at her, his pupils dting significantly. How could I do that?
“Q-Quick! I''m almost at my limits!” Natasha stammered. Her face had already gone pallid, and a
layer of sweat dotted her forehead. On the whole, she appeared frightfully pale.
Training his eyes on her, Keh clenched his hands tightly. How could I bring myself to do that?
Meanwhile, Natasha teetered on the brink of a breakdown. Snapping, she roared aloud and even
yanked at her hair with both hands.
At that moment, Boss'' warning shed through Keh''s mind. He said that if it weren''t stopped,
Natasha would only experience greater agony each time, and she might even maim herself.
Following that thought, he no longer hesitated but brought his hand down on the back of her neck,
knocking her out cold.
At the sight of her copsing into his arm, his emotions became a jumbled mess.
He reached out and pulled her close, his ebony eyes so dark that they resembled pools of invisible
hell, unsettlingly eerie.
I''ll definitely kill you with my own hands, Boss!
Meanwhile, as Denise waited in the car with Dave, she glimpsed a dessert shop by the roadside.
When Dave noticed how her eyes had lit up, he immediately brought her over.
The two of them waited while eating in the shop. There was a floor-to-ceiling window that offered
them a view of the car. If Keh and Natasha returned, they would also be able to see them with a
single nce.
Despite enjoying the dessert, Denise was frowning.
Seeing that, Dave inquired, “What''s wrong?”
“Say, why haven''t Daddy and Nate back?” Denise wondered, gazing in the direction of the car.
“They must have been dyed by something,” Dave reckoned.
Upon hearing that, Denise bobbed her head.
Still enjoying the dessert, she shifted her gaze to the man. “Can I have another serving to go, Mr.
Dave?”
In response, Dave nodded. “Sure! But can you finish it?”
“It isn''t for me. I want to bring it back for Nat!” Denise exined.
Dave chuckled. He then summoned the server and ordered another serving to go.
When Denise saw that, she shed him a sweet smile. “Thank you, Mr. Dave!”
Dave was entirely defeated by her smile, finding it so adorable that his heart almost melted.
Staring at her, he started, “Would you like to have another person loving you, Denise?”
“Are you thinking of making me your goddaughter, Mr. Dave?” Denise queried after deciphering the
look in his eyes.
For a moment, words eluded Dave. “Am I that obvious?”
His question had Denise dissolve into giggles. “I was just guessing!”
Aware that she was incredibly smart, Dave had nothing else to say. He simply nodded. “That''s
indeed true, but are you willing to be my goddaughter, Denise?”
Denise pretended to turn it over in her mind for a long while. Just when Dave thought that she was
going to decline or find an excuse to brush it off, she suddenly agreed, “Of course!”
At her mischievous expression, he finally cottoned on to the fact that she was purposefully keeping
him in suspense.
He burst intoughter before shooting her a look. “Don''t forget your promise!”
Denise bobbed her head. “Sure! But I was speaking for myself. As for Daddy and Nat... I can
convince Nat, but you''ll have to handle Daddy.”
Speaking of Keh, Dave sighed. “You''re his only beloved daughter, so he naturally doesn''t want
to share you with anyone else. I''m sure he isn''t going to agree!”
Denise''s eyes flickered, and she eximed, “I''ve got an idea!”
Dave eyed her curiously. “What is it?”
“He''ll only agree if Nat were to suggest it!”
“But why would she?”
“Don''t worry, Mr. Dave. Since you like me so much, just leave this matter in my hands!” Denise
dered, patting herself on the chest.
Dave quirked an eyebrow. “For real?”
“Of course!”
“Okay, I''ll be waiting for your good news, then!”
“Okay!” Denise shed him the corresponding gesture.
Over the moon, Dave summoned the server once more. “Please give me a serving of everything
that''s delicious here, to go!”
In a sh, surprise showed in Denise''s eyes. “What are you doing, Mr. Dave?”
Turning to her, Dave announced, “In the future, I''ll buy you all the dessert you want, Denise! You''ll
be able to sample all desserts from around the world!”
Whoa!
Denise was thrilled beyond words. “You''re the best, Mr. Dave!”
Gazing at her indulgently, Dave slid the dessert on the table over to her. “Go ahead and eat!”
Denise nodded happily.
While she ate, she nced in the direction of the car. At that exact moment, Keh strode over
with Natasha in his arms.
At that sight, she was wholly stunned.
“What''s wrong?” Dave asked.
“Daddy is back with Nat in his arms,” Denise answered with a sullen look on her face.
