You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 402

A while later, Justin shook his head. “I've never heard of this name.”

Disappointment flashed across Anthony and Benjamin's faces.

“He's not local, like me,” Thalia added, hoping to jog his memory.

Justin shook his head yet again.

Seeing that, Thalia pursed her lips and nodded. She was not disappointed as she had prepared herself for the worst on the way here.

After all, there was no simple matter in the world.

Suddenly, the man in the mess made a noise. Hearing the commotion, Justin turned over his shoulder and told Thalia, “I'll go take a look at my father.”

Thalia shot Justin a nod, and the latter got up to leave.

Right then, the kid standing beside them stared at Anthony and Benjamin unblinkingly. They were about the same age, and the kid's gaze was innocent and kind.

Benjamin seemed to recall something as he placed his backpack down. Unzipping it, he fished out some chocolate and snacks.

He held them carefully and offered them to the little girl.

Despite his gifts, the kid stared at him fearfully and dared not take a step forward.

With his gaze fixed on her, Benjamin got up to head to her.

“Have some!” he said in Ustranian.

The little girl seemed to understand him, for she took the snacks from him hesitantly. After grabbing the snacks, she beamed and ran to Justin as though she was showing off to her father.

Seeing her reaction, Justin told her something inaudible, and she carefully went to a corner to remove the packaging.

Benjamin was lost in a whirlpool of emotions.

Meanwhile, Anthony shut his eyes as though he had made up his mind.

Suddenly, Justin turned over his shoulder and said something that made Thalia leap to her feet.

Seeing her reaction, Anthony glanced at her. “What's wrong?”

“Justin's father said he had met Theodore previously!” Having said that, Thalia strode over to Justin solemnly.

Both Anthony and Benjamin trotted behind her.

Justin's father was paralyzed. His legs were gone, and only his upper torso remained. However, he was still lucid.

“Ms. Jacoway, the Theodore Watson you mentioned is a Chanaean, right?” Justin's father asked.

Thalia nodded. “Yes. How do you know that?”

Right then, Justin spoke up. “My father is one of the earliest men to join Vermillion Base. He couldn't take care of me and had no choice but to take me along with him. That was how I joined the base.”

Comprehension dawned on Thalia as she turned to his father. “What do you know about him?”

“I remember he was a kind man and held a high position in Vermillion Base. However, he was different from the rest. He cared a lot for us. He was a good man,” Justin's father muttered.

“What else do you know?” Thalia urged. “Please tell me everything.”

“He was in the base for around one year. One day, he got into a fight with someone in the base and claimed he would leave. I saw him packing up his stuff. After that, I don't think I ever saw him again,” Justin's father revealed.

Upon hearing that, Thalia narrowed her eyes. “You never saw him after that?”

Justin's father inclined his head. “That's right. After he left, the base changed locations. I'm sure I never saw him after that.”

Thalia pressed her lips into a thin line as though she was pondering over something.

“Why are you asking about him, Miss? Did something happen to him?” Justin's father asked.

Thinking about it for a while, Thalia revealed, “He's dead.”
