Chapter 989 There Is Always Goodbye


    Anthony was standing outside the door, his ears practically glued to it.


    Denise looked at him, her eyes filled with anticipation and worry. “What''s wrong? Has Daddy woken


    up?”


    Speaking of which, Anthony shook his head at her, struggling to speak. “No, you and Nat have been


    in there for so long, feeling worried, I came to check.”


    Denise was speechless.


    The hopeful look on her face instantly fell.


    Given the current situation, whether Keh woke up or not was a heavy topic for them.


    Seeing Denise had fallen silent, Anthony changed the subject and asked directly, “Where''s Nat?”


    Denise nced to the bathroom. “She''s in there.”


    Anthony nodded. “All right. Since everything''s fine, I''ll wait for you outside.” With that, Anthony


    walked out of the room.


    After he left, Denise then headed towards the bathroom.


    Natasha sat in front of the mirror. Even though she didn''t leave the room, she heard every word


    between the two.


    Though her heart was filled with heaviness and struggle, she immediately changed her expression


    when Denise returned.


    When she looked at Denise, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. “What''s wrong?”


    Denise shook her head. “It''s nothing. Tony was worried, so he came to check on you.”


    Natasha let out a sigh. “Indeed, we''ve been in here for quite a while. Let''s go. It''s time to head out.”


    Seeing that there wasn''t a trace of disappointment on Natasha''s face, Denise nodded, then walked


    behind her, gently guiding her outside.


    When Natasha went out, Spencer was examining Keh.


    Seeing here out, Spencer rose to his feet.


    “How''s it going?” Natasha asked.


    Spencer looked at her and spoke naturally. “All conditions and vital signs showed he has recovered


    quite well—”


    “If he''s recovering well, then why hasn''t Daddy woken up yet?” No sooner had he finished speaking


    than Denise immediately followed up with a question.


    Spencer looked at her. “The location of your father''s surgery was too close to the nerve tissue, a


    veryplex area. It''s not something that can be exined in a sentence or two. His physical


    recovery is going well, but whether he can wake up or not will depend on his willpower.”


    Upon hearing this, Denise lowered her gaze and said softly, “In the end, it alles down to relying


    on Daddy himself.”


    “Denise!” Natasha looked at her cautiously.


    Denise pursed her lips, remaining silent.


    Spencer assured, “It''s okay.” As he said this, his gaze shifted back to Denise. “You''re right. As a


    doctor, all I can do is do my job well. As for the rest, it''s up to the patients themselves.”


    “My daddy is not a patient!” Denise suddenly raised her voice, looking up at Spencer with a


    determined gaze. “And my daddy will definitely wake up!”


    When he heard her words, a smile tugged at the corner of Spencer''s mouth before he responded,


    “Yes, you''re right. I believe so, too. Your dad will definitely wake up!”


    Denise looked at him with a steadfast gaze, not uttering another word.

    Meanwhile, Natasha, standing to the side, remained silent as she listened.


    She was not a dreamer. On the contrary, she was the type who was too grounded in reality. As time


    ticked away, her confidence had long since faded.


    She was bing increasingly uncertain if Keh could wake up.


    Soon after dinner, quite a few people started toe in.


    Only three hours were left to see if Keh would wake up.


    The room was filled with people to the brim, yet no one spoke. All eyes were intently fixed on the


    person lying on the bed.


    The three hours felt like an agonizing century to them.


    And so, as time ticked away second by second, the room plunged into silence the moment the clock


    on the wall struck the hour.


    The air seemed so suffocating that even breathing became stifling.


    At that moment, Denise looked at the person on the bed, shaking her head. “No, no, Daddy won''t!”


    As she yelled, she ran out, crying.


    “Denise!” Benjamin looked at her, fearing that something might happen to her, and immediately


    chased after her.


    The atmosphere in the room was tense.


    Upon seeing the situation, Anthony sadly lowered his gaze, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.


    Redness spreading across the rims.


    Off to the side, Dave watched, his fist mming hard into the wall.


    Looking at Keh, his eyes conveyed an indescribableplexity and regret.


    Mike and Luke watched with tears welling up in their eyes.


    Everyone in the room was struggling to ept the reality.


    Only Natasha.


    She sat on one side, watching quietly, without any significant emotional fluctuations or changes in


    expression. It was as if she had anticipated the oue all along. She just watched Keh, her


    gaze devoid of any surprise or shock.


    A momentter, Natasha suddenly requested, “Dave, there''s something else I might need your help


    with.”


    When Dave heard her remark, his gaze shifted towards her. “What is it?”


    “I''m nning to take Keh back to the castle, and while we''re there, tidy up a bit. We''re nning


    to leave this ce!” answered Natasha.


    Hearing this, Dave stared at her. “Are you leaving now?”


    “It''s not that immediate. After all, packing things up takes a day or two, but... more or less,” she


    confirmed.


    Dave furrowed his brows at her answer. “All of you don''t need to be so anxious about Keh''s


    current situation.”


    “What difference does it make if he leaves a day earlier orter, given his current state?” Natasha


    retorted.


    “But—”


    “I miss home,” Natasha suddenly said.


    Dave looked at her, suddenly at a loss for words.


    He could voice out all the reasons to plead for her to stay, but for thatment, he found himself at


    a loss for words.


    After contemting for a moment, he nodded. “All right, I understand. I''ll handle the arrangements.


    Just send me the date of your departure.”


    Natasha gave him a slight smile. “Thank you.”


    “No need.” After that, Dave didn''t say anything more and turned around to walk outside.


    Natasha didn''t notice anything amiss. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the person lying on the


    bed. She asked, “Keh, you''re like me, right? Wanting to go back.”


    Meanwhile, Spencer, who was standing not far behind, nced at Natasha before also walking


    outside.


    At an empty, uninhabited tnd, Spencer looked at Dave, directly handing him a cigarette.


    Dave looked at him in surprise. “You smoke?”


    “I don''t usually do, but now, I feel like it,” he answered.


    Dave didn''t stand on ceremony and directly reached for a stick.


    Spencer lit it for him.


    The wind blew at that moment, carrying the smoke away with it.


    Spencer nced at him. “You find it hard to let go, don''t you?”


    Dave gazed into the distance. “There''s always goodbye for every reunion. I''d rather he never came


    if I knew this was the oue.”


    Spencer narrowed his eyes at him as he said, “I''m talking about Natasha.”


    Dave paused smoking, his gaze shifting towards Spencer. His eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you


    mean?”


    Spencer chuckled, “Don''t look at me like that. I mean no harm. Besides, I know exactly what you''re


    thinking!”
