Terence was about to speak further when the door was pushed open, and Kenneth entered the ward.

Immediately, Natasha cowardly closed her eyes. Until she figured out how to resolve the issue, avoidance would be her best solution.

“How is it, Old Mr. Watson? Has she come around?” Kenneth went over and asked.

Terence was taken by surprise by Kenneth’s appearance as well. He hurriedly turned around to look at Natasha and found she had closed her eyes.

Not knowing what she was up to, Terence awkwardly let out a dry cough and said, “Um, not yet…”

“That is strange! Based on the doctor’s assessment, she should have regained consciousness by now.” Kenneth was puzzled.

“I was wondering too…” Terence replied, putting on a worried look.

“Let me check with the doctor,” Kenneth said, then went out of the ward again.

Seeing that Natasha had continued to keep her eyes closed, Terence knew she had no intention of “waking up” and intended to keep up with her act.

Shortly after, the doctor came in and did an examination on her. “I thought you said it was just some superficial injuries. Why is she still unconscious?” Kenneth asked, concerned.

“Don’t worry. Every patient responds differently. Maybe Ms. Watson is a little weak and thus takes a little longer to regain her consciousness. It is not a concern, so please don’t worry about it.” The doctor was reassuring, but Kenneth was not convinced.

“But—” He was about to protest when Terence interjected and said, “Let’s trust the doctor and just wait a little longer.”

Since even Terence had no objections, Kenneth could only nod in consent and keep quiet.

“Mr. Hamilton, it is nothing to worry about, but if you are concerned, we can do another thorough check-up for Ms. Watson later,” the doctor suggested upon sensing Kenneth’s concern.

“Please do so as soon as possible,” Kenneth said.

After the doctor left, Kenneth’s phone rang. After he took a glance at the caller ID, he turned to Terence and excused himself. “Excuse me, Old Mr. Watson. I will step out to take this call,” he said.

Terence nodded in acknowledgment.
