You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 768

Without a second thought, Thalia nodded. “Okay, I'll go with them first.”

As she continued eating, she instructed, “Boys, hurry up and eat. We'll be going over soon.”

Benjamin nodded.

As for Anthony, he simply raised his gaze to give Natasha a look before going back to his food.

After the meal, Thalia and the children headed to the shooting room.

Before they left, Anthony threw Natasha a glance as if he had something to say.

Noticing the look on his face, Natasha queried, “What's on your mind?”

“Nothing much. I just want to remind you to drink less coffee and alcohol!”

“I know...” Natasha nodded in acknowledgment.

Just as Anthony was deliberating on something, Thalia's voice rang out. “Are we going or not?”

“Coming!” Anthony answered.

“Men shouldn't dawdle that much.” Just as she spoke, Thalia headed off with Denise in tow.

Anthony didn't respond to the remark and quickly followed Thalia after giving Natasha a look.

Benjamin, who was beside him, asked curiously, “What's up with you?”

“What do you mean what's up with me?” Anthony threw the question back at his brother.

“It's unlike you not to respond. You would usually have a ready retort to whatever Thalia has to say,” Benjamin teased.

Anthony seemed distracted to him.

“What's wrong with you today?” Benjamin asked again.

It was then that Anthony snapped out of his thoughts. “What?”

Benjamin let out a sigh. “What's wrong with you over the last two days? Why do you look preoccupied?” Anthony asked.

“Was I?” Anthony denied.

“Don't you think I understand you well enough?” Benjamin pressed on.

Anthony knew that he couldn't get Benjamin off his case unless he gave the latter something. Pondering for a moment, he explained, “It's nothing much. Daddy just instructed me to keep an eye on Nat due to her weak health.”

“Did Daddy say that?” Benjamin asked.

“He did. Don't you know about it?”

“When?”

“Some time ago. He wanted us to watch after Nat.”

Benjamin's brows furrowed. “Wasn't that a long time ago?”

“No, it wasn't. He just said it a few days ago. Can't you see that Nat has lost weight?” Anthony spoke as he walked.

When Benjamin turned around to look, he saw Natasha standing by the door in a light-colored dress. From her tall and slender side profile, it was evident that she had indeed lost weight.

“You're right. She does look thinner,” Benjamin commented.

“That's why you should keep an eye on her too. Remind her to take something more nutritious instead of drinking coffee all the time,” Anthony suggested.

“But coffee and wine are her life!” Benjamin protested.

“It will take her life if she consumes too much of them,” Anthony countered.

“Stop exaggerating!”

“Just remember to watch her closely instead of being engrossed in your project,” Anthony reminded.

Benjamin nodded in the end. “Fine, I know what I must do.”

“Let's go,” Anthony suggested as both of them quickly caught up with Thalia.

Spencer then took a deep breath. “The vial does hold the antidote...”

“And?”

“The antidote contains a special substance that I have no idea what it is. The only thing I can think of is that it's something only Boss has. Therefore...”

“Therefore, there's only one vial of antidote available?” Natasha asked.

Filled with regret, Spencer nodded. “That's right.”

After a brief moment of silence, a smirk flashed across Natasha's face. “This situation is cringier than a soap opera plot.”

“I'm sorry, Nat,” Spencer apologized.

When Natasha raised her gaze to look at him, Spencer felt the need to be decisive. “I deliberated upon the matter deeply once the result was out, to the extent of considering giving Thalia the antidote in secret. I was willing to do anything to keep her alive.”

Spencer locked gazes with Natasha as he spoke. “In fact, I was even ready to pay for it with my own life!”

His words didn't come as a surprise to Natasha. Instead of showing any anger, she was a sea of calm. “So, why didn't you do it?”

Spencer looked to the ground as he clenched his fist. This was the very first time he felt helpless and cowardly in his entire career as a doctor.

“Spencer, to be honest, there's no need for you to apologize. For you to think this way, tell me about it, and even feel torn between Thalia and me, that's a sign of how much you value our friendship. Otherwise, you would have gone ahead and done it already.” Natasha paused briefly before adding, “Besides, it's only natural that you have such thoughts. If Kenneth were in your place, he would definitely behave the same way as you.”

Spencer looked up at her with his dark obsidian eyes. Despite her nonchalant words, he felt the need to say what was necessary.

“Nat, I owe Thalia a debt that can never be repaid. If you're upset with me over this, I'll be willing to compensate you with anything, including sacrificing my life.”

Natasha chuckled in response. “What can I do with your life? You had better save it for the betterment of society.”

Surprise that she could still laugh in the face of such circumstances, Spencer stared at her.

All of a sudden, Natasha scratched her head with a frown before leaning back into her chair. “That aside, I'm curious to know what really happened between you and Thalia. Why is it so hard to clear the air?”

Spencer's brows furrowed in frustration at her attempt to discuss something like that, given the circumstances. “That's not important at all!”

“Come on, don't be a spoilt sport.” Natasha added, “If you can convince me, I'll let this matter slide.”
