You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 901

Observing his guarded expression and evasive behavior, Anthony sensed that something was off.

He shut the door, retraced his steps, and positioned himself in front of Spencer. Placing both hands on the table, he leaned forward and spoke with determination. “Spencer, there's something you're not telling me, isn't there?”

Spencer lowered his gaze. “No.”

“There is,” Anthony stated firmly, his conviction unwavering. The way Spencer avoided his gaze was confirmation enough.

Spencer remained silent, his lips pressed together.

“What's really going on, Spencer?” Anthony probed.

Nevertheless, the man remained silent. For the first time in his life, he was at a loss for words, stumped by a question from a child.

“You're not planning to tell me, are you?” Anthony inquired, his tone a mix of frustration and determination. “Fine, then. I'll go find Thalia. She should know what's going on.” With that, Anthony turned and swiftly exited the room.

“She doesn't know.” Spencer suddenly spoke, watching Anthony's retreating figure.

Anthony halted and turned back, locking eyes with Spencer.

The latter took a deep breath before continuing, “I can share the truth with you, but I must clarify that this matter has nothing to do with Thalia.”

Anthony's expression grew more serious, his intuition telling him that this matter might not sit well with him.

Spencer's lips tightened as he continued, “The reason Thalia hasn't had a relapse is because her poison has been cured.”

As soon as the man's words reached Anthony's ears, his eyes immediately narrowed. “Cured? How was it cured?”

“With the antidote.”

“Where did you get the antidote?” Anthony asked, disbelief filling his eyes.

Spencer met Anthony's gaze, the words hovering on his lips, but finding the right way to express them was proving difficult.

“Speak up!” The boy's stare intensified.

“Last time, your dad brought it back while he was on the move,” Spencer finally revealed.

“Last time?”

“The time when Nat left.”

Narrowing his gaze, Anthony recollected that moment. “So, you're saying that my dad actually brought back the antidote back then?”

Spencer nodded.

“You gave to Thalia?”

“I confess, I entertained some selfish thoughts, but ultimately, I'm not the one who decided in this matter,” Spencer admitted.

“What do you mean?” Anthony asked, finding it all too hard to believe.

“It was Nat.” Spencer looked at him.

Anthony was slightly caught off guard. To claim that he wasn't surprised would be insincere, yet stating that he was entirely taken aback would also be inaccurate. This action was undeniably characteristic of Natasha's style.

Subsequently, Spencer detailed the exchange of antidotes to Anthony. As he concluded his explanation, he turned his gaze toward Anthony and added, “Up until this point, Thalia remains unaware of the actual situation. She has consistently believed that the medicine she took before departing was the one I provided to slow down the onset of the poison.”

Having listened to the detailed explanation, Anthony found himself at a loss for how to react. He regarded Spencer for a prolonged moment before posing a question, “Given that there exists an antidote, why not work on creating another one to take? Wouldn't that sever the other person's lifeline?”
