You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 905

Thalia returned to Spencer's laboratory.

The door was suddenly flung open, and Thalia stood at the entrance, her gaze fixed on Spencer with a mix of complexity and sorrow in her eyes.

As if he had anticipated it, Spencer rose from his desk when he spotted her.

“Spencer, I...” Thalia walked in, wanting to ask something. However, when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to begin.

Spencer remained silent, just staring at her intently.

Thalia's lips moved slightly. After a moment, she looked at him and asked, “What's going on with Nat's health? How did it become like this? Didn't she already take the antidote? How could she still end up in this state?”

Spencer remained silent. He initially thought he could tell her the truth directly, but seeing her so upset with his own eyes made him think otherwise.

Seeing him silent, Thalia frowned, looking utterly distressed. “I scolded Kenneth, thinking it was his negligence. However, his words implied it had something to do with me... Spencer, can you tell me what's going on? Is Natasha's condition really related to me?” It took a long time for Thalia to ask that last question.

Spencer pursed his lips as he gazed at her distressed expression. His fists clenched tightly at his sides. For a moment, he felt an impulse to say nothing at all. However, he knew Thalia needed to know the truth.

After a moment of hesitation, Spencer nodded. “Mhm.”

Thalia was getting impatient and yelled willfully, “What do you mean by that? Am I related to her condition or not?”

Upon seeing the situation, Spencer immediately strode the table and toward her. Once he reached her side, Spencer asked, “Do you want the answer to be yes?”

Listening to his question, Thalia felt a whirlwind of emotions. She was so angry that she didn't know how to express herself. “It's not about whether I want to be involved or not. I just need to know the truth. Spencer, don't you understand? I need to know what exactly is going on!”

Seeing her in such a state of frustration, Spencer spoke up. “All right. I'll tell you the truth.”

Thalia fell silent while staring at him.

After hesitating, Spencer said, “This matter, indeed, involves you.”

Thalia paused for a moment, then looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean? Didn't I already give her the antidote? Why would this happen? Could it be that there's something wrong with the antidote? Did I harm her?” Thalia asked, confused.

If that was really the case, she truly didn't know what to do.

Spencer placed his hands on her shoulders, comforting her. “No, you didn't harm her. Her condition is related to you, but you're not the one who caused it!”

Thalia paused slightly as if she had guessed something, but she still asked incredulously, “What do you mean?”

Spencer pursed his lips with a gloomy look. “Thalia, you should have guessed it by now!”

“I don't know what it is! Even if I guessed it, how would I know if it's true? What I need now is the result. Spencer, stop beating around the bush. No matter what the outcome is, I can handle it. What I can't stand is such ambiguous answers.” Thalia's temperament was just like that, straightforward and simple.

How could Spencer not understand her? He initially wanted to tell her in a roundabout way, but Thalia hadn't changed a bit after so many years.

With that thought, he took a deep breath, then began to speak. “All right, I'll tell you. Do you remember when you left, I gave you a pill? That's the real antidote!”

“That's how it is. She gave it to you because of me. If you want to blame someone, blame me,” Spencer said.

Thalia looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words. “Spencer, why? How could you do this?”

“There's no particular reason. In essence, you came here because of them and were poisoned because of her. It's only right giving you the antidote!” Spencer spoke matter-of-factly.

While Thalia could accept any other excuse, she couldn't accept that one.

She looked at Spencer, her eyes narrowing. “Spencer, how could you have such a thought?”

“How could I not?” Spencer lowered his gaze, looking at Thalia coldly as though he was a stranger. “You've protected Anthony and the other two to get here, even getting poisoned in the process. If she had an antidote and kept it to herself, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable? I believe this is the best solution for now.”

“Spencer!” Thalia looked at him. “How could you have such a terrifying thought? No matter what happened, you shouldn't use this method. She is your friend, your only friend!”

Spencer still maintained his calm and indifferent demeanor. “It's precisely because she's my friend that she understands my actions. Clearly, her decision to give you the antidote also stems from her belief in my reasoning, doesn't it?”

Smack!

The moment he ended his sentence, Thalia reached out her hand, slapping him across the face.

After the slap, Thalia was stunned, staring at her own hand, unable to snap back to reality for a long while.

At that moment, Spencer's eyes dimmed slightly, then he said, “There's no need for you to blame yourself for this. She did what she did because of me. If anyone's owing anyone, it's me. I owe her, not you. You don't need to feel sad. All you need to do is to live well.”
