On the other end of the line, Anthony spoke. “Don't worry, Daddy will definitely be there. I'll be right there too!”
When Thalia heard that the boy was coming, she immediately said, “You? Why would you come here? It's too dangerous. Go back right away!”
“But...”
“It's non-negotiable. Hurry up,” Thalia said.
Anthony fell silent for a moment before replying, “Don't worry. I will take care of myself. I won't leave until making sure that you are absolutely safe.”
“Anthony Watson, if you dare to come here, I'll call Kyle immediately!” Thalia threatened softly.
“It would be too late even if he rushes over.”
“You—”
“All right, let's not discuss this further. Stay in touch.” With that, the boy immediately hung up the phone without waiting for her to reply.
When Thalia looked up, she saw Spencer walking toward her. “What's wrong?” the man asked softly.
“Anthony is here,” Thalia replied, furrowing her brows.
When Spencer heard that, he froze for a moment before saying, “If he's coming, it's very likely that Kenneth will also be here.”
“But he's just a child, what if something bad happens to him?”
“He may be a child, but he's a child with extraordinary intelligence. He wouldn't act recklessly and put himself in danger,” Spencer replied.
“But...”
“Don't worry. Everything will be fine,” the man reassured.
After a moment of contemplation, Thalia furrowed her brows.
“It will take them a while to break in. You should try getting in touch with Kenneth while I check if we have gotten the right antidote,” Spencer said.
That was indeed what they should be focusing on right then. Thalia nodded and replied, “All right.”
As such, Spencer headed toward Boss' desk.
After sitting down, he took out the antidotes which he had just retrieved and started examining them one by one, paying attention to their appearance and smell.
Thalia gazed toward Spencer intermittently while she was on the phone. Once she hung up, she walked over to him.
Noticing something amiss with his expression, Thalia asked, “What's wrong?”
Spencer looked up at her and replied, “The antidote isn't here.”
“It's not here?” Thalia's eyes widened instantly. Leaning forward, she continued, “How's that possible? Kenneth told us it was here. Boss had personally confirmed it.”
“But I'm absolutely certain it's not here,” Spencer asserted.
Compared to the rest, Thalia definitely trusted him more. With furrowed brows, she exclaimed, “I can't believe that b*stard Boss was still spouting nonsense even on his deathbed!”
Spencer remained silent.
“Well, this is just great. Not only did we not find the antidote, we're now stuck here,” Thalia muttered.
“I guess this is exactly what Boss wanted,” Alexia said, stepping forward.
“If I catch that bloody b*stard, I'll beat him to death!” Thalia said, fuming with anger.
“In order for you to do that, we'll have to get out first.” Just then, Alexia looked toward the door. The people outside were relentlessly pounding on the door, yelling and trying to break in.
As it was not the first time she had faced life and death situations, she was not that fearful. Instead, she was overwhelmed with a sense of regret. She still had so much to say to Kenneth. If only she could speak to him again, she would be able to die in peace.
But...
She did not know if she would have the opportunity to do so.
At that moment, Spencer was lost in thought while sitting at the desk. Just then, he swept his gaze across the table and noticed a spot in a corner that seemed to have been rubbed against frequently.
That was the only spot that appeared somewhat different from the other areas.
With those thoughts in mind, his hand instinctively reached out in that direction. However, as soon as he touched the spot, a strange noise echoed from one corner of the table.
