Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 97

Thalia bought a cup of coffee and took up position outside Natasha’s ward.

She had somehow found a nurse uniform and put on the outfit, making her look like she truly

belonged there.

Luckily, there are not many people around at night. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to stay

hidden with my outstanding looks.

Amidst her indulgence in her own beauty, the silhouette of a man approached Natasha’s room.

Thalia turned cautious at once and strode toward the person.

“Mister, who are you?” she asked.

Kenneth turned around.

Thalia was about to make her move, but when she saw Kenneth’s gorgeous face, she felt grateful

to be equipped with quick reflexes as she instantly stopped herself from hitting him.

Fortunately, I did not attack him!

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

“Oh, it’s so late in the night and way past the visiting hours,” Thalia said.

“I’m not here for a visit. I’m here to guard someone.”

“Guard?” Apparently, she was unconvinced.

“Should I make a phone call to your hospital’s director?” he asked her.

Thalia gazed at him in silence.

At that moment, Kenneth was about to enter Natasha’s room.

“Are you here to guard her or to take her life?” she suddenly questioned him.

Kenneth stopped abruptly in his tracks, turned around, and met Thalia’s eyes with a puzzled look.

“It’s really you, Kenneth Hamilton. I did not expect you to resort to such underhanded tactics!”

Abandoning all hesitation, she leaped forward and struck him.

Thus, Thalia and Kenneth began fighting in the corridor.

He merely dodged all the while, showing no intention to hit back.

After the fight went on for some time, he managed to restrain her. “Do you know me?”

“Of course, and that’s not the extent of it.” She sneered before continuing to attack him.

Although Kenneth had his doubts, he knew Thalia was not there to harm Natasha. Instead, she

was trying to protect her.

“Are you looking down on me, Kenneth? Do you think I’ll let you go because you’re not retaliating?”

Thalia demanded.

“Are you here to protect her?”

“So what if I am?” she answered him with another question.

Only then did he tidy his clothes. “What a coincidence. Me too.”

Thalia withdrew the punch she was about to deliver the next second. “What?”

Kenneth sized her up and asked, “Have you ever seen anyone with ill intention walking around in

such an open manner?”

His words prompted her mind to race. She agreed with him inwardly but was reluctant to admit he

was right. “What if this is all an act?”

He smiled. “If I really wanted to harm her, do you think I would personally commit the act?”

Thalia felt that Kenneth’s words made sense, so she nodded. “You do have a point.”

“Who are you? Why have I never seen you?”

“It’s normal that you’ve never seen me before.” Thalia was not about to tell him her name.

“You’re not a nurse here!” he uttered firmly without a hint of doubt in his voice.

“Of course. Have you ever seen such a pretty nurse?” she asked while rolling her eyes at him. I did

not anticipate him to be so adept at fighting. No wonder so many people are offering so much

money to end his life, but none of their attempts have been successful thus far.

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

At that moment, the door to Natasha’s ward opened. Perhaps their fighting had caused a

commotion and startled her.

She walked out of the room and looked at the people standing outside. “Kenneth?”

Then, her gaze shifted onto Thalia, dressed in a nurse uniform. The latter instinctively covered her

face.

Thalia scrutinized Kenneth and Natasha. She did not stay for long after making sure the two knew

one another. Before leaving, she said, “See you never, Kenneth Hamilton.”

Even though Thalia left in a hurry, Natasha still managed to catch a glimpse of her face, causing

her to frown.

After Thalia completely disappeared from her vision, Natasha turned to look at Kenneth. “You’re

even making a move on a nurse in the hospital?”

Kenneth was at a loss for words.

He walked up to her. “Is that how you see me?”

She remained silent, turned on her heels, and returned to the ward.

“I’m not that desperate,” Kenneth explained.

Still, Natasha kept quiet.

At that moment, he stepped forward and halted her, elaborating, “She thought I was trying to harm

you.”

Natasha gazed at him. “You don’t have to explain yourself to me, actually.”

“I’m not explaining anything. I’m asking you if you know who that person is?” he asked.

“How would I know?” Natasha replied.

“She was here to protect you!” Kenneth added.

Natasha was not a fool. She recognized Thalia as the “kind lady” who had come with Anthony

previously, so she reckoned Anthony must have sent her.

However, Natasha was not about to tell Kenneth anything. “Protect me? How is that possible?”

“You don’t know her?”

She shook her head firmly. “Nope.”

He frowned.

“If I were acquainted with her, I would have invited her into the room instead of letting you two…

fight outside.” Natasha deliberately finished her sentence in a suggestive manner.

Kenneth furrowed his brows. Although something did not sound right about her statement, he

could not find any fault with what she said.

Nonetheless, Thalia’s every move was merciless. It was obvious that she was someone who had Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

undergone rigorous training. Kenneth would have thoroughly investigated her background if she

were not there to protect Natasha.

However, his priority at that moment was to find out the identity of the person who truly intended to

hurt Natasha.

Sensing his silence, Natasha asked, “Why are you here?”

“Denise is worried about you, so she told me to check on you,” he replied.

“You can leave now that you’re done checking on me. I’m fine,” she uttered casually.

Kenneth strode up to her. “Are you unaware of your current circumstances? Although I don’t know

who the lady earlier was, even she knows you’re in danger. Don’t tell me you’re oblivious to this?”

Looking at his solemn demeanor, Natasha did not linger on that topic. Instead, she asked, “So, did

you take Denise and Benjamin’s DNA samples? When will the results be out?”

Kenneth knitted his brows. “Who do you think I am?”

“Don’t you want to know the answer?”

“Is there a need to do a DNA test? Isn’t it obvious?” he questioned her.

Natasha raised her brows. “What’s the matter? Are you finally convinced that they are not your

children now?”

Kenneth was stumped.

Her words had never failed to infuriate him.

He grasped her hand. “Natasha, regardless of what you say, Denise and Benjamin are my

children!”

“Well, aren’t you a confident man?”

Kenneth curled his lips into a sneer. “Quit employing psychological warfare against me, Natasha.

It’s futile!”

Natasha did not reply.

That was indeed her intention. She also believed that by allowing them to take the children away,

Kenneth would definitely not proceed with the DNA test.

That was also the slightest hope Natasha was clinging onto. And at that moment, she was more

grateful than ever that it was not Anthony who had appeared. Otherwise, she would be unable to

come up with any argument since Anthony clearly resembled Kenneth.

Taking in her silence, Kenneth smiled mockingly. “Why are you quiet now?”

She shot him a small smile. “I find it pointless talking to you.”

“You…”

Kenneth was furious at her. Natasha was unprepared as he suddenly advanced on her. She fell

backward onto the bed and instinctively grabbed his collar, causing him to be pulled forward onto

the bed as well.

He lay on her body as they became entangled in an intimate posture.
