Chapter 975 Not Waking Up


    Upon hearing the sound, Natasha grew anxious.


    “Phone,” she said.


    In a corner of the bed, Denise pulled out her phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, a trace of ambiguity


    shed in her eyes. The next second, she handed the phone to Natasha. “It''s Tony.”


    Seeing that, Natasha immediately took the phone, swiped on the phone, and answered the call.


    “Hello.”


    “Nat,” Anthony whispered on the other end of the phone.


    Natasha listened, her eyebrows furrowing. “Yes. What''s wrong?”


    “How are you? Are you feeling okay?” Anthony asked.


    Upon hearing the voice, Natasha responded, “I''m doing quite well. Denise is taking care of me!”


    “We''ve got the antidote. After checking it today, Spencer found no issues, so we''ll send it back to


    you!” Anthony said.


    Upon hearing that, Natasha fell silent, seemingly indifferent to the matter of the antidote. After a


    moment, she asked, “Your voice sounds off, Anthony. Has something happened?”


    “No!” Anthony immediately denied. “I probably just had a tiring night and feel a bit sleepy.”


    Natasha pursed her lips, her gaze gradually dimming. After a moment, she asked, “How''s your


    daddy? Is he doing okay?”


    “Daddy is in a meeting with Mr. Dave... I guess he won''t be free for a while!” Anthony said.


    “Hasn''t everything been settled already? Why the need for a meeting?” Natasha asked.


    “The matter hase to an end, but after all, Vermillion Base is not a small ce. There are still


    many things to be taken care of...”


    After a moment of silence, Natasha said, “All right. I understand!”


    “Nat...”


    “Yes?”

    “Never mind. I''ll be back to see you soon,” Anthony said.


    Natasha nodded. “All right. I''ll wait for you!”


    Just like that, the call ended.


    Natasha held her phone, her slender features taut. The smile that was on her face just a moment


    ago gradually disappeared.


    Denise watched from the side, noticing her serious expression. She moved closer and asked, “Nat,


    what''s wrong?”


    Natasha regained her senses, then looked at Denise and smiled. “It''s nothing. I just suddenly


    thought of something...”


    “Oh. Nat, it''s getting cold. Let''s eat quickly,” Denise said.


    Natasha was smiling as she continued to eat the food in her bowl. Her face wore a smile, but it


    didn''t reach her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Anthony''s phone was right next to Keh''s ear.


    Seeing the person still lying in bed, Anthony finally put away his phone. “Daddy, did you hear that?


    Nat is still waiting for us to return home. If you don''t want her to worry or get angry, then you need to


    get better soon...”


    At that moment, everyone in the room couldn''t bear to watch, turning their gazes elsewhere.


    Dave stepped forward, patting him on the head. “All right. Off you go. Let your daddy have some


    good rest!”


    “No!” Anthony shook his head. “I want to stay here with him until he wakes up.”


    Dave furrowed his brows.


    Just then, as he was about to say something else, Spencer uttered. “Let him stay here. Sometimes,


    having loved ones around can actually inspire a stronger will to live.”


    “Will it?” Dave asked.


    “When Anthony put the phone to his ear to hear Natasha''s voice just now, his heartbeat clearly sped


    up. So, it worked!” Spencer asserted confidently.


    Dave nced over, not fully understanding the situation. However, since the doctor had spoken, he


    didn''t say anything more.


    Dave nodded in response. “All right, then.”


    “Let''s go. We should head out first!” said Spencer.


    Afterward, everyone stepped out.


    As the door closed, Anthony didn''t even turn his head. He just sat next to Keh, his gaze fixed


    on him.


    However, after hearing Spencer''s words, he took out his phone, flipped to his chat interface with


    Natasha, and started ying her voice messages one by one.


    Outside, Luke and Mike were looking toward the door, then turned their gaze to Dave. “Dave, are


    you really not going to tell Natasha? What if something bad happens to Boss?”


    “The matter he repeatedly emphasized before he fell unconscious clearly showed how important


    Natasha was to him... Do you dare to say it?” Dave asked them.


    Hearing that, the two fell into immediate silence.


    Right then, Alexia said, “How is our savior really doing? If things aren''t going well, I''ll find him


    another doctor. We absolutely cannot just sit here and do nothing.”


    As she was about to leave, Dave said, “Stop.”


    Alexia froze.


    Dave looked at her and uttered, “If even Spencer can''t save him, then there''s no one in this world


    who can.”


    “But—”


    “You guys carry on chatting. I''m heading out!” Without waiting for their response, Spencer


    immediately walked toward the exit.


    Watching his retreating figure, Dave turned to them and said, “I believe that Keh will be fine.


    Over the years, hasn''t he always emerged unscathed, whether from water or fire, always surviving


    on the brink of life and death? This time will be no different!”


    A few people were watching, but none of them spoke.


    “Let''s go. We still have matters to attend to. By the time he wakes up, everything must be in order,”


    Dave said.


    Upon hearing that, several people, despite their extreme reluctance, could only nod in agreement.


    After leaving DX Group''s branch base, Spencer headed toward a car in the distance.


    At that moment, the door was wide open. Thalia was half-leaning in the car, her legs crossed and


    stretched out over the control area. Her eyes were closed, as if she were sleeping.


    As Spencer walked past, her ears twitched slightly, and in an instant, her eyes opened.


    Spencer walked over and saw her eyes wide open. He asked softly, “Did I wake you?”


    Thalia retracted her long legs and sat up immediately. “No, I wasn''t asleep. What''s the situation


    inside?”


    Hearing that, Spencer mysteriously whipped out a cigarette from somewhere, lit it up, and leaned


    against the car, slowly taking in the smoke.


    Seeing the situation, Thalia jumped straight out of the car.


    “What''s wrong?” Thalia asked, “Is the situation bad?”


    Spencer shook his head, then turned to look at her. “The surgery was indeed sessful, but during


    the explosion, the de was forced into the body due to the impact, and it was too close to a vital


    area, so—”


    “So? What?” asked Thalia.


    “Whether he wakes up or not, it''s up to him,” said Spencer.


    Thalia waspletely stunned when she heard that. After a long pause, she finally asked, “Are you


    saying there''s a good chance he might not wake up?”


    As a doctor, Spencer knew nothing was absolute. He nodded. “You could say that.”


    Thalia fell silent.


    After a long silence, she asked, “What about Natasha? What about the three little ones? Can they


    ept this reality?”


    Spencer remained silent. “Anthony is currently inside with him. Benjamin is at the armory on


    another base. He probably doesn''t know about this yet, neither does Natasha,” he murmured.


    After a long pause, Thalia asked softly, “So, do you n to keep this a secret?”


    “This is what Keh said just before he passed out. He was afraid that Natasha would find out


    and worry...” Spencer murmured.
