Chapter 747 The Function Of A Door


    Natasha slowly regained her senses.


    Seeing the man who was sitting next to her bed with tightly furrowed brows, she muttered weakly,


    “I''m sorry to worry you.”


    Keh''s expression was solemn, and he made an effort to suppress his emotions. Noticing that


    she was trying to get up, he immediately held her down. “Don''t move. You should lie down and get


    more rest.”


    “I''m fine...”


    Natasha felt considerably more rxed all over after the pain subsided. She felt as if she was in a


    trance at that moment.


    “Listen to me,” Keh murmured.


    Natasha looked at him and did not insist on getting up anymore.


    At that moment, a knock sounded on the door. Natasha immediately looked at the door vigntly


    and asked, “Is it the kids?”


    Without saying anything, Keh got to his feet and walked to the door.


    He opened the door, and the housekeeper was seen standing outside with a te of food in her


    hands.


    Natasha heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the triplets were not outside.


    Keh walked to the bed and ced the food at the side before helping Natasha up.


    Natasha leaned against him. Although herplexion was pale, there was an indescribable


    comfort on her face. “I thought it was the kids, and I was even thinking of what to say.”


    “You can just tell them if it''s too tiring.” Keh picked up the piping hot food and gently blew on it.


    Natasha thought about it and shook her head. “We better not. We must put ourselves in the


    children''s shoes. How would they feel if they saw me like this? The fewer people who know, the less


    misery there will be. They shouldn''t be worrying so much at their age.”


    At this moment, Keh blew on the spoonful of soup and held it to her mouth.


    Natasha raised her gaze to look at him and noticed that Keh''s expression was indescribably


    grim.


    She opened her mouth silently to eat as Keh fed her patiently.


    Seeing that he was silent, she reminded, “Don''t tell them.”


    Keh took a deep breath. “Don''t worry. I love them as much as you do.”


    “Then why did you make that joke just now?”


    “I wasn''t joking, Nat. I simply don''t want you to be worried constantly about this matter.”


    “I''m fine...”

    “Then what state must you be in to deem you aren''t fine?” Keh asked in return, looking at her


    tenderly.


    Natasha returned his gaze and was momentarily at a loss for words.


    “Nat, you don''t have to keep up a strong front.”


    Natasha lowered her eyes and murmured, “I know. I''m just used to doing so.”


    Keh pulled her into his arms.


    Natasha wanted to speak, but she felt that the arms embracing her were trembling slightly.


    She paused for a moment, and her words were stuck in her throat.


    “Nat, do you know how I felt when I saw you run back and try to hold on by yourself?”


    “I know. I—”


    “No, you don''t!” Keh cut her off, and it was near impossible to describe the pain he was feeling.


    He embraced her tightly and continued, “Nat, I don''t want to see you like that again. Can you try


    putting your faith and trust in me? I know I can''t take away your pain, but I won''t let you be alone!”


    The corners of Natasha''s mouth curved upward a fraction. “I know, and I will.”


    Keh did not speak as he hugged her harder.


    Seeing that he had no intention of letting her go, Natasha called out softly, “Keh... Keh, I


    can''t breathe when you hold me this tightly.”


    Keh released his grip when he heard that.


    Natasha looked at him with a paleplexion. Just when she was about to speak, her hand


    identally brushed over the uneven skin on his arm, and she halted in her movement.


    Natasha lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on his arm. It was bloodied.


    Just then, memories of the previous incident rushed back into her mind.


    Natasha gently pressed her hand on his wound and froze momentarily. “Did I bite you just now?”


    Keh covered his wrist discreetly with his sleeve and looked at her. “It''s fine.”


    How can he possibly be fine even if he ims so?


    Keh was worried that she would feel bad about this, so he grabbed her wrist. A deep mark was


    left on her delicate wrist as well.


    Natasha frowned at that.


    “Do you know of the practice whereby people bite each other''s arms in a vow of loyalty?” asked


    Keh, his eyes locked on hers.


    Natasha nodded.


    “In a way, we have taken a vow of loyalty. You can''t break your vow!”


    Natasha chuckled upon hearing that. “Does that work like this?”


    “Why not? You must take responsibility since you gave me this mark.”


    Upon deliberation, Natasha said, “Okay, I won''t disappoint you.”


    “Remember what you said!”


    “Yes. I always honor my promises.” Natasha bobbed her head.


    “Simply using words won''t do. You have to prove it with actions.” Keh gazed at her.


    Natasha''s beautiful eyes narrowed. She leaned over and nted a light kiss on his lips.


    The corners of Keh''s mouth raised slightly. He extended his hand to support her back when he


    saw her struggling to get to him, causing her to press her body against him.


    This was a kiss of a vow.


    Keh''s heart gradually calmed down as he observed her longshes.


    Just then, the door burst open, and a figure rushed in.


    “Ms. Watson, are you okay?” Thalia stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the scene in front of


    her.


    Uh... Should I leave now while I can, or should I turn around first?


    Natasha hastily moved away from Keh when Thalia was still in a dilemma. Keh nced at


    Thalia in dissatisfaction and muttered unhappily, “Don''t you know the function of a door?”


    Thalia initially felt a little guilty but was disgruntled when she heard Keh''s usatory words.


    She retorted back immediately, “It''s clearly used to enter a room!”


    “You—” Keh was about to speak, but he felt a hand on the back of his hand.


    Natasha shook her head at him.


    Only then did Keh let it go.


    How could Thalia not notice what was going on when she was standing right there? She rolled her


    eyes smugly at Keh.


    “Keh, I want some more,” Natasha said.


    Keh knew Natasha was trying to get him to leave. He lowered his head and uttered patiently,


    “Wait for me.” He got to his feet and made his way out.


    Thalia stood at the side and rolled her eyes again as she watched him leave.


    Natasha was nonplussed by her response.


    “Have a seat.”


    After Keh made his way out, Thalia''s expression changed, and she leaned over to Natasha with


    a worried expression. “Are you okay? I heard Spencer say...”
