Chapter 745 The Pain Was Too Much


    Worried that the three children might discover something, Natasha immediately left.


    She walked so fast that she was practically running.


    Anthony was about to say something. However, when he saw the swift manner in which Natasha


    got away, he frowned in bewilderment. He turned and asked Keh, “What''s wrong with Nat?”


    Anthony knew Natasha very well. She might be a steady person, but most of the time, she could be


    veryzy as well. It was rare to see her walk away in such a hurry, and it piqued his curiosity.


    Keh turned and looked behind him, but Natasha was long gone. His instinct told him that the


    poison in her was taking its toll on her again.


    Just as Keh was about to leave, he remembered something and turned to Anthony calmly. “I


    suppose she is feeling shy. Let me go and check on her!” With that, he left too without waiting for a


    response from the boy.

    By the time he rushed after Natasha, she was already nowhere to be seen.


    Just as he was trying to think where she could be, Denise got out of the car and smiled sweetly at


    him. “Daddy.”


    Keh looked down at the girl. “Have you seen Nat?”


    “Yes.” Denise nodded.


    “Where did she go?”


    “She went back to the room!”


    Without saying another word, Keh went straight to the room.


    Denise stood there with the desserts in her hands, and she appeared confused as she watched


    Keh walk away.


    All of a sudden, someone called out to her, “Have you seen Nat and Daddy?”


    That gave Denise a shock because she had been so engrossed in her thoughts. She looked at


    Anthony and said, “Tony, you gave me a fright. How can you walk without making a sound?”


    “You were the one who was distracted,” said Anthony. “Did you see where Daddy and Nat go?”


    “Yes. Nat said she was going back to her room, and Daddy followed suit.” She then looked at her


    brother. “Tony, do you want some desserts?”


    “No, thanks.” With that, Anthony went after the adults.


    “Tony, where are you going?”


    “I''m going to change my clothes. I''ll be back in a short while.” Anthony did not look back when he


    said that.


    All Denise could do was stay where she was. She looked at their retreating figures and shook her


    head helplessly before going in.


    “Ben,” Denise called out as she strolled in happily.


    Benjamin was sitting at the table and making amendments to the blueprints. Denise went over and


    offered, “Benjamin, have some chocte.”


    The boy looked up and saw the sweet treat that his sister offered. He epted it before scanning


    the room. “Where are Daddy, Nat, and Anthony?”


    “Nat and Daddy returned to their room. Tony went back too to change his clothes.”


    Benjamin frowned upon hearing that.


    “Ben, have another one,” said Denise as she looked at him.


    The boy returned to his senses and shook his head. “No, thanks. You go ahead.”


    “Okay,” Denise said before she sat down and enjoyed her favorite dessert.


    Unfortunately, just as she was unwrapping the cake box, she cut her hand.


    “Ouch!” Denise cried out.


    Benjamin turned around and saw her holding her hand. He went over and asked, “What


    happened?”


    “It''s nothing. Just a cut from the stic packaging.”


    “Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Benjamin took some tissues and handed them to her. “Let me find a


    band-aid for you.”


    Denise pulled his sleeve to stop him. “There''s no need to, Ben. I''m fine.”


    “But—”


    “Really, I''m fine,” Denise insisted.


    Benjamin looked at her. Denise has always been pampered and could not stand having a cut on her


    hand. Yet, now...


    Denise held her hand and smiled forcefully at her brother. “I''m really fine, Ben. It''s just a minor cut.


    I''m no longer the delicate girl that I used to be anymore.”


    Benjamin looked at his little sister, and he was d and heartbroken at the same time. “Denise, you


    have grown up.”


    There was a bright smile on her face. Yet, an indescribable feeling arose within her.


    Natasha rushed upstairs as quickly as she could. However, just as she reached the second floor,


    the pain hit her. She could not take it anymore and fell onto the steps. Her arm hit the steps and


    started bleeding.


    Then again, the pain in her arm was nothingpared to her headache.


    She forced herself to get up. With one hand holding her head, she told herself not to be there. She


    did not want the children to see her in that state.


    They could never.


    She got up slowly and climbed the stairs. She had wanted to go to theboratory and look for


    Spencer. Unfortunately, the pain assaulted her over and over again. Each time was worse than the


    last. She felt as though thousands of ants were gnawing at her bones. She had no idea how long


    she could hold on. Afraid that she would copse at any moment, she rushed into the nearest room


    she saw.


    The moment she went into the room, she finally managed to get a little relief by crying out in pain.


    However, she was still worried that the children might hear her, so she leaned against the wall and


    curled into a ball. The waves of agonizing pain hit her again and again. Underneath her fair skin, the


    veins were throbbing visibly. Her eyes had turned bloodshot like those of a vampire. Even her face


    looked frightening.


    She fought hard against the pain that wasing forth from within her. Unfortunately, it was too


    much for her to bear that she bit herself on her arm.


    She bit herself so hard that blood started flowing out. However, her headache seemed to have


    eased a little.


    Just then, someone pushed the door open, and Keh rushed in.


    “Nat...” He nced around the room, saw the figure who was leaning against the wall, and rushed


    over. “Nat, are you all right?”


    “K-Keh, help me. Quick...”


    Keh was heartbroken to see her in pain. To make matter worse, her arm was bleeding.


    “K-Keh, don''t let the three of them... know. Help me,” said Natasha with a trembling voice.


    Keh pulled her into his arms.


    “I-I really can''t take it anymore...” she muttered with quivering lips because of the pain.


    However, Keh showed no sign of eding to her request.


    Natasha had no idea why, but the pain was too much for her to bear, and she bit her arm again.


    “Mmm...” All of a sudden, there was a groaning from above her.


    Yet, at that moment, the pain had taken over all of Natasha''s senses, and she could not be


    bothered with other things. She bit her arm with all her might.


    Just then, the door to the room opened again.
