You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 574

It wasn't long before they arrived at the hospital.

The doctors were already on standby outside the main entrance.

Kenneth was right by her side when the doctors wheeled Natasha into the examination room. "I'll be waiting for you right outside. You'll be all right," he said while gently running his fingers through her hair.

Natasha simply nodded in response. She wasn't actually afraid of dying as she had already prepared herself for it. However, she was worried about how she would break the news to her grandfather and children.

Her grandfather had already suffered the loss of a family member before, so she didn't want him to relive that painful experience.

If there was one thing she feared the most, it was having the desire to live but have her life taken from her.

As though he had read her mind, Kenneth bent over and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Stop worrying about it, okay? I'll be right here waiting for you. Everything is going to be okay," he reassured her.

Natasha nodded at him, and the doctors wheeled her into the examination room.

It wasn't until the doors were fully closed that the two finally broke eye contact.

Kenneth then whipped out his phone and made a call.

Every passing second felt like an hour as he waited for the person to answer the phone. "Hello?" The call finally got through on the final ring.

"It's me."

"I know it's you. What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

"It's Nat, Spencer. I think she might be sick. Could you come over and take a look at her?"

"What's wrong with Nat? What happened to her?" Spencer asked.

Kenneth then gave him a brief explanation of Natasha's symptoms. "That can't be right... I've been keeping a close eye on Nat's health all this while. She's perfectly healthy, so you don't have to worry about a thing," Spencer said with a frown.

As much as Kenneth hated to admit it, he asked anyway, "What if she has some kind of underlying medical condition?"

"What kind of underlying medical condition could possibly be fatal? Trust me-she's definitely fine," Spencer reassured him.

Kenneth felt a lot more relieved after hearing that. "What could be the cause, then?"

"I'm not too sure about that. I'll have to examine her to replace out."

"All right, I'll be waiting for you."

"I'm a little far away at the moment, so it'll take a day or two for me to get there."

Kenneth narrowed his eyes and let out a sigh. "All right, I understand. I'll wait for you, so try your best to come as soon as possible."

"Sure!" Spencer replied and hung up the phone.

Kenneth frowned as he stared at his reflection on the black screen of his phone. For some reason, he found himself able to trust Spencer's words no matter what.

It's true that Natasha doesn't look like she's sick, but I can't tell what's causing her headache either. Oh, well... I guess I'll just have to wait till Spencer gets here.

With that in mind, Kenneth turned around and stared worriedly at the examination room.

The silence of the corridor was broken by the sound of rapid footsteps.

As Kenneth turned his head, he saw Dave panting heavily as he rushed over.

Dave asked, "How is she? What did the doctor say about her condition?"

The look in Kenneth's eyes turned gloomy as he replied, "She just got wheeled in a while ago. The doctor is still examining her, so I don't know what her condition is just yet." "The director of this hospital is a friend of mine. I spoke to him about this on my way here, so we'll be sure to get the results of her examination by today," Dave said. Kenneth simply nodded without saying anything.

After taking a moment to catch his breath and calm himself down, Dave glanced at the examination room door and asked, "Did she have another one of those headaches?"

Kenneth frowned when he heard that. "Another?"

"You were unconscious when we returned from the uninhabited zone. She had a headache once on the way back. We had a doctor examine her at the time, but the doctor said it was due to stress, so we didn't think much about it," Dave explained.

Kenneth's face gradually filled with shock when he heard that.

Given everything that had happened, he felt a lot more certain that there was something serious going on.

Kenneth clenched his fists while staring worriedly at the door of the examination room.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Dave walked up to him and said, "We might just be overthinking it, though. Maybe it isn't as bad as we think. Don't worry too much about it."

"Let's hope that's the case," Kenneth muttered under his breath.

The two of them then fell silent after that.

As time continued to tick away, Kenneth's patience was wearing thin.

Having noticed the change in his expression, Dave said, "I'll make a call and check on the situation."

Kenneth simply nodded at him without saying a word.

Dave was about to step aside to make the call when the door opened all of a sudden, and a doctor stepped out of the examination room.

The two of them quickly ran up to the doctor and asked, "How is she, doctor?"

Dave, too, was waiting anxiously for the doctor's response.

The doctor calmly removed his surgical mask as he replied, "We've given her a thorough examination, but we didn't replace anything wrong with her. She appears to be in good health."

Noticing the confused look on Kenneth's face, the doctor continued, "As for the headaches that you said she was experiencing... We also examined her brain and her eyes, but we didn't replace anything wrong with them either."

Kenneth wasn't sure if he should be happy or worried about the doctor's replaceings.

I'm glad to hear that Nat is in good health, but how do we explain her headaches? If she's fine, wouldn't her headaches be a complete mystery?

Since Kenneth had gone silent, Dave asked the doctor, "Could you think of any possible causes for her headaches?"

"We've taken all of the issues you mentioned into consideration during the examination. That's why we had neurosurgeons take a look at her as well. However, we all arrived at a unanimous conclusion that there was nothing wrong with her health. The headaches were most likely caused by fatigue. She should be fine after getting enough rest," the doctor replied.

Dave knew there was nothing more they could do at this point. "All right, I understand. Thank you all very much. When will she be coming out?"

"In a few minutes from now."

"Got it. Thanks again."

"You're welcome." The doctor then headed back into the examination room.

Natasha was asleep when the doctor wheeled her out a few minutes later.

"We had to sedate her for one of the examinations earlier. She'll wake up very soon," the doctor explained.

Kenneth simply nodded at the doctor in response.

After transferring Natasha to a regular ward, the doctor and nurses left to give them some privacy.

Kenneth and Dave were staring at Natasha in the ward as she slept soundly.

Neither of them said a word as they thought about the doctor's replaceings.

The doctors weren't able to replace anything wrong with Natasha, so they must be missing something. It's possible that these medical instruments are unable to detect what she has.
