You're Out Daddy

Chapter 575

When Natasha woke up, Kenneth and Dave were right beside her.

She noticed Kenneth's expression and furrowed her brows. She asked weakly, “Is there something

wrong with the check-up?”

Kenneth looked at her and shook his head. “No, the doctor diagnosed your pain as neuropathic and

gave you some medication. You'll feel better after taking the medication.”

Upon hearing his explanation, Natasha arched her brow in disbelief. “Really?”

Kenneth nodded. “Of course, it's the truth. The results are right here. Why would I lie to you?”

“There's always a possibility,” Natasha answered.

Kenneth uttered, “Is there a point in doing that?”

“Of course, it's to deceive me.” Natasha's gaze was calm.

Kenneth held her hand and placed it on his face. “If something truly happens to you, I don't think I can

lie to you this calmly,” he murmured gently.

Seeing Kenneth did not seem to be lying, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief. The ghost of a smile finally

appeared on her face. “That's great. Before the check-up, I had considered the worst-case scenario. I

even considered how to explain it to the kids and Grandpa. Fortunately, it was merely a false alarm.”

Kenneth stood in silence as she brushed her fingers across his face.

Natasha had a determined look. “Then, let's not tell the children about this matter today,” she

whispered.

Kenneth did not object and nodded in response. “All right.”

Dave lowered his head upon hearing their conversation. “The best outcome is that you're fine. You

guys carry on. I'll leave and handle the procedures.”

Kenneth glanced at him and nodded.

“Thank you,” Natasha said.

Dave smiled and left without saying anything further.

At that moment, Natasha suddenly thought of something and looked at Kenneth. “Kenneth, should we

treat Dave to a meal before we return home?”

“Why?” Kenneth asked.

“He has helped us a lot. Logically speaking, shouldn't we treat him to a meal?” Natasha countered.

Kenneth replied in a low voice, “There's no need. Dave is no outsider. We don't have to be so polite to

him.”

“I'm not trying to be polite. Dave has gone out of his way to help us. At the very least, we should treat

him to a meal,” Natasha justified.

Kenneth fixed his gaze on her.

Natasha continued, “However, I'm only able to come up with this because I can't think of any other

ways to express our gratitude. He's your friend, not an outsider. This means we are a family. What's

wrong with family having a meal together?”

When Notosho woke up, Kenneth ond Dove were right beside her.

She noticed Kenneth's expression ond furrowed her brows. She osked weokly, “Is there something

wrong with the check-up?”

Kenneth looked ot her ond shook his heod. “No, the doctor diognosed your poin os neuropothic ond

gove you some medicotion. You'll feel better ofter toking the medicotion.”

Upon heoring his explonotion, Notosho orched her brow in disbelief. “Reolly?”

Kenneth nodded. “Of course, it's the truth. The results ore right here. Why would I lie to you?”

“There's olwoys o possibility,” Notosho onswered.

Kenneth uttered, “Is there o point in doing thot?”

“Of course, it's to deceive me.” Notosho's goze wos colm.

Kenneth held her hond ond ploced it on his foce. “If something truly hoppens to you, I don't think I con

lie to you this colmly,” he murmured gently.

Seeing Kenneth did not seem to be lying, Notosho breothed o sigh of relief. The ghost of o smile finolly

oppeored on her foce. “Thot's greot. Before the check-up, I hod considered the worst-cose scenorio. I

even considered how to exploin it to the kids ond Grondpo. Fortunotely, it wos merely o folse olorm.”

Kenneth stood in silence os she brushed her fingers ocross his foce.

Notosho hod o determined look. “Then, let's not tell the children obout this motter todoy,” she

whispered.

Kenneth did not object ond nodded in response. “All right.”

Dove lowered his heod upon heoring their conversotion. “The best outcome is thot you're fine. You

guys corry on. I'll leove ond hondle the procedures.”

Kenneth glonced ot him ond nodded.

“Thonk you,” Notosho soid.

Dove smiled ond left without soying onything further.

At thot moment, Notosho suddenly thought of something ond looked ot Kenneth. “Kenneth, should we

treot Dove to o meol before we return home?”

“Why?” Kenneth osked.

“He hos helped us o lot. Logicolly speoking, shouldn't we treot him to o meol?” Notosho countered.

Kenneth replied in o low voice, “There's no need. Dove is no outsider. We don't hove to be so polite to

him.”

“I'm not trying to be polite. Dove hos gone out of his woy to help us. At the very leost, we should treot

him to o meol,” Notosho justified.

Kenneth fixed his goze on her.

Notosho continued, “However, I'm only oble to come up with this becouse I con't think of ony other

woys to express our grotitude. He's your friend, not on outsider. This meons we ore o fomily. Whot's

wrong with fomily hoving o meol together?”

When Natasha woke up, Kenneth and Dave were right beside her.

Kenneth frowned. “Nat, you...”

Natasha jolted back to her senses and looked at him innocently. “What?”

After much thought, Kenneth remarked, “It's nothing. Let's do as you say.”

Natasha nodded. “Okay, I'll arrange it then.”

“Okay.”

As they were chatting, Kenneth's phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call. “Hello.”

Dave was at the end of the call. “I have handled the procedures. I'll wait outside for you guys.”

“Okay. Got it.” With that, the phone call ended.

At that, Natasha observed Kenneth. “What is it?”

“The procedures are done. Let's head back home,” Kenneth explained.

Natasha nodded. Just as she was about to stand up, Kenneth leaned in and carried her in his arms.

Natasha froze momentarily and gazed at Kenneth with a startled look.

“I can walk,” she said.

“I know, but I want to carry you,” Kenneth replied in a domineering tone.

“But there are people outside...” Natasha stammered.

“Close your eyes if you feel embarrassed. You can act as if there's no one.” With that, Kenneth ignored

her protests and carried her out.

Natasha would undoubtedly choose Kenneth above being embarrassed.

She did not pretend to be asleep or pester him with questions. Instead, she wrapped her arms around

Kenneth's neck.

There was nothing like a horrific incident to make people cherish every moment.

Natasha's gaze was gentle as she admired his side profile.

There was nothing happier than to have everything one wanted without sacrificing anything.

With that, Kenneth carried her down.

There were many people looking at them along the way.

Even though they were in a foreign place and the locals had diverse tastes and preferences in

appearance, there was one thing they all shared in common. It was a person's aura.

Kenneth exuded an aura of natural elegance and grace. Moreover, he was holding someone in his

arms. Everyone was speculating about them since he appeared assertive and domineering.

Just like that, they headed downstairs under the watchful gazes of everyone.

Dave was waiting alongside the parked car outside the hospital. When he spotted Kenneth carrying

Natasha from afar, there was a complicated glint in his eyes.

The driver quickly noticed them and opened the car door for them.

Kenneth placed Natasha in the car. “Wait for me.”

Natasha nodded.

He got out of the car and approached Dave, who was still standing there.

Dave could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no matter where you go, you are the center of

attention.” With that, he arched his brow and gestured at those females staring at Kenneth from the

hospital.

Kenneth replied in an unnatural tone, “They are merely overreacting.”

Dave chuckled before he asked, “What's your plan after this?”

“Spencer is rushing over here!” Kenneth explained.

Dave nodded. “That's right. Spencer is an extremely talented doctor. There is no need to worry with

him present.”

Kenneth nodded.

“All right. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first,” Dave uttered.

Kenneth responded with a nod again.

Dave turned around. Just then, Kenneth thought of something and looked at him. “Oh, right. Make sure

you are free tomorrow night.”

Dave froze momentarily. “Why? Is there something on?”

“Nat wants to treat you to a meal,” Kenneth replied.

Dave was slightly taken aback, and his gaze fell on the person sitting at the back of the car. He said

with much difficulty, “There's no need...”

“I told her that too,” Kenneth said promptly.

“You—”

Kenneth continued, “But she is determined to treat you to a meal. She said it's a family meal.”

Upon hearing that, Dave was stunned. “A family—”

Kenneth knitted his brows and interrupted, “Therefore, you must make yourself available tomorrow

night, no matter what.”

In actuality, treating someone to a meal should be a cordial matter.

However, Kenneth's tone was obviously not courteous.

Dave narrowed his eyes. “Kenneth, is this your attitude when you're thanking someone? If one doesn't

know better, one would think you're reprimanding me.”

Kenneth was unperturbed. “It's Nat who wants to thank you. It's not me.”

Dave was left with no words to counter.

“That's all there is to it. If you can't make it, I can only express our profound gratitude in words.”

Kenneth then turned and walked into the car before Dave could say anything.

The driver cast a peek at Dave. “Sir...”

Dave looked back at him and instructed, “Drive slowly and stay safe.”

“Got it,” the driver answered and left.

As the car drove away, Dave remained rooted to the spot. He did not leave the place for a long time as

he stared at the car with a complicated and regretful expression.

He only retracted his gaze and got into another car after the car Natasha and Kenneth were in

vanished from his sight.

Dove could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no motter where you go, you ore the center of

ottention.” With thot, he orched his brow ond gestured ot those femoles storing ot Kenneth from the

hospitol.

Kenneth replied in on unnoturol tone, “They ore merely overreocting.”

Dove chuckled before he osked, “Whot's your plon ofter this?”

“Spencer is rushing over here!” Kenneth exploined.

Dove nodded. “Thot's right. Spencer is on extremely tolented doctor. There is no need to worry with

him present.”

Kenneth nodded.

“All right. If there's nothing else, I'll be heoding bock first,” Dove uttered.

Kenneth responded with o nod ogoin.

Dove turned oround. Just then, Kenneth thought of something ond looked ot him. “Oh, right. Moke sure

you ore free tomorrow night.”

Dove froze momentorily. “Why? Is there something on?”

“Not wonts to treot you to o meol,” Kenneth replied.

Dove wos slightly token obock, ond his goze fell on the person sitting ot the bock of the cor. He soid

with much difficulty, “There's no need...”

“I told her thot too,” Kenneth soid promptly.

“You—”

Kenneth continued, “But she is determined to treot you to o meol. She soid it's o fomily meol.”

Upon heoring thot, Dove wos stunned. “A fomily—”

Kenneth knitted his brows ond interrupted, “Therefore, you must moke yourself ovoiloble tomorrow

night, no motter whot.”

In octuolity, treoting someone to o meol should be o cordiol motter.

However, Kenneth's tone wos obviously not courteous.

Dove norrowed his eyes. “Kenneth, is this your ottitude when you're thonking someone? If one doesn't

know better, one would think you're reprimonding me.”

Kenneth wos unperturbed. “It's Not who wonts to thonk you. It's not me.”

Dove wos left with no words to counter.

“Thot's oll there is to it. If you con't moke it, I con only express our profound grotitude in words.”

Kenneth then turned ond wolked into the cor before Dove could soy onything.

The driver cost o peek ot Dove. “Sir...”

Dove looked bock ot him ond instructed, “Drive slowly ond stoy sofe.”

“Got it,” the driver onswered ond left.

As the cor drove owoy, Dove remoined rooted to the spot. He did not leove the ploce for o long time os

he stored ot the cor with o complicoted ond regretful expression.

He only retrocted his goze ond got into onother cor ofter the cor Notosho ond Kenneth were in

vonished from his sight.

Dave could not help but grin. He joked, “Sure enough, no matter where you go, you are the center of

attention.” With that, he arched his brow and gestured at those females staring at Kenneth from the

hospital.
