You're Out Daddy

Chapter 512

Half an hour later, the door to the room clicked open.

At once, Natasha hurried over to the door.

Dave stepped out, and they promptly bumped into each other.

“How did it go?” Natasha urged.

“I'm here, so there's no need for you to worry.” Before Dave could say a word, a familiar voice rang out

behind him.

Natasha looked in the direction of the voice and spotted Spencer stepping out of the room.

A flash of delight appeared in her eyes when she saw him. “Spencer? Why are you here?”

“Why wouldn't I be here when this concerns you?” Spencer returned.

After hearing the news, Thalia rushed all the way here and happened to hear Spencer's reply at the

door. At once, she halted in her steps.

Natasha didn't notice her arrival and stared straight at Spencer. “If I knew you'd be here, I wouldn't

need to worry.”

“Do you trust me that much?”

“I trust your medical skills,” Natasha corrected him.

Spencer flashed a devilishly handsome smile.

Right then, Spencer noticed the injuries she had sustained. “What happened to you? How did you get

hurt?”

“I'm fine,” Natasha told him.

“You're not fine. You don't want scars on your pretty face, do you? Come on, let me dress your

wounds.” Spencer took her hand naturally and led her into the room.

Dave took in their interaction and furrowed his brows.

Outside, Thalia also turned stiff momentarily.

Anthony and Benjamin had their gazes pinned on them.

Er, should we give them a hint or something?

Thalia had already spun on her heels and left when they turned over their shoulders.

Oh no, she has misunderstood them!

Anthony and Benjamin looked into the room before going after Thalia.

“Thalia!”

Alas, Thalia showed no signs of stopping down.

They ran after her for some time before managing to stop her at the end of the corridor.

“Thalia, where are you going?”

Glancing at them, Thalia answered, “You found Nat, and I've fulfilled my promise. Everything is fine

now, so it's time for me to leave.”

“Leave? Where are you going?” Anthony asked.

“Back to the headquarters, of course,” came Thalia's answer.

“What about us?”

“Nat is back—”

“Didn't we promise to return to the headquarters with you after everything comes to an end here?”

Anthony cut in.

Benjamin bobbed his head eagerly.

Thalia understood what they meant. “I'll ask Kyle to pick you up later.”

Knowing that she was about to leave, Benjamin stepped forward and stretched his arms out. “Thalia, I

know you're mad, but Nat and Spencer's relationship isn't what you think it is.”

“Does it matter?” Thalia asked.

He is gentle to other women but avoids me like the plague.

“Of course, it's important. Nat told us that Spencer is just a friend to her.”

“That is what Nat thinks, not Spencer,” Thalia replied. “How do you know Spencer doesn't share her

sentiments?”

Benjamin was rendered utterly speechless. He didn't know what to say.

Without hesitation, Anthony spoke. “I think Spencer and Nat are nothing but friends, too.”

“You think? How do you know you're right?” Thalia retorted.

“I...” Anthony couldn't formulate a response. He could only gaze at her and say, “I just know. Nat is just

a friend to Spencer, nothing else.”

A sneer flitted across Thalia's lips. “It doesn't matter anymore. No matter what their relationship is, it

has nothing to do with me.”

With that said, she spun on her heels to leave.

“Thalia!” Benjamin stopped her.

Thalia whipped around to look at him. “Benjamin, I don't want to get angry, but if you keep stopping me

from leaving, I'll fly into a rage for real.”

Thus, Benjamin had no choice but to retract his hands slowly.

“Benjamin!” Anthony turned to look at his brother.

“Why don't you try persuading her?” Benjamin asked.

Naturally, Anthony dared not do so.

Seeing their responses, Thalia said, “Protect yourselves well!” Having said that, she left without waiting

for their replies.

Anthony watched Thalia's departing figure and fell into deep thought. After a while, he spun around and

ran back.

Inside the room, Spencer was still applying medicine to Natasha's wound.

Anthony joined them and announced, “Thalia has just left.”

Spencer's hands froze when he heard Thalia's name being mentioned.

Comprehension dawned on Natasha, and she turned over her shoulder to ask, “Did she leave after

seeing Spencer taking my hand?”

Anthony nodded.

Natasha turned around to look at Spencer. “Won't you go after her?”

“No, I won't do that,” came Spencer's answer.

Natasha nodded and stopped persuading him to change his mind. She watched as he applied

medicine to her wound and muttered, “After what happened, I suddenly realized one thing.”

“What is it?” Spencer asked noncommittally.

“Well, the fate that brings people together is really fragile. You think that person might always be by

your side, but they might disappear from your world the next second. By then, it's too late to regret.”

Spencer lifted his head and stared at Natasha in surprise.

Natasha's gaze landed on Kenneth, who was still lying in bed. His wounds were dressed, but he was

still in a coma.

Spencer knew his condition best.

Kenneth had lost a lot of blood. If he were saved any later, he would've been dead by now.

Suddenly, Spencer's movements turned awkward.

Natasha gazed at him. “Spencer, don't regret after you lose something. That's just useless. There is no

second Thalia in this world.”

Anthony chimed in, “Thalia has many enemies in the uninhabited zone. Will something happen to her?”

Right after he said that, Spencer got up and ran out of the room.

He disappeared in a flash.

Anthony didn't even see the man leaving. He only heard wind swooshing by his ears.

By the time he regained his senses, Spencer's figure had already disappeared from sight.

Anthony blinked twice before turning back to Natasha. “Wow, he is fast, huh?”

Natasha flashed a smile and said nothing else. Her gaze fell on Kenneth. Rising to her feet, she went

over to him.

She wasn't just giving Spencer advice, for that was what she thought for real.

No one knew how scared she was when Kenneth took the bullet for her.

She was afraid that Kenneth would no longer exist on earth.

He might be horrible, domineering, and sharp-tongued, but her world would be uninteresting without

him.

She stared at Kenneth without a word.

Benjamin came over and seemed to notice her concern, so he said, “Nat, Mr. Dave said Daddy is fine.

He lost too much blood, so it will take him some time before he regains consciousness.”

Natasha nodded in understanding.

“Nat, you...” Anthony was about to speak when Dave came in and cut him short.

Dave told them solemnly, “Pack up. We need to leave now.”

Anthony turned over his shoulder. “That soon? But Daddy's wound—”

“The Vermillion Base's people are looking for us. We need to leave now. Otherwise, we'll be stuck here

for real,” Dave revealed sternly.

Anthony's face clouded over.
