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

Chapter 917 Preparing For Action

Spencer was treating Lina while Magus watched from the side. Having been through a lot, he had become much more composed.

He didn't speak. He just stood quietly to the side, watching and waiting.

Anthony was the same.

Anthony finally spoke when Spencer withdrew his hand, asking, “How is it?”

Spencer glanced at Anthony. “It's pretty much as I assessed earlier. She has a major depressive disorder. In addition, she has been overworking for a long period, and she also has other concurrent illnesses.”

“Then, is there a cure?” Anthony asked.

“What do you think?”

“I'm not a doctor, so how would I know?” Anthony said.

Spencer stood up. “Others may not have it, but I do.”

Magus' eyes lit up considerably after he heard that. It was as if he was a lost traveler who had suddenly found directions and had his hopes rekindled.

Upon hearing that, Anthony also breathed a sigh of relief. “How long will it take?”

“Her physical ailments can be quickly cured as long as she takes her medicine on time. But when it comes to matters of her mental illnesses...” As Spencer spoke, he looked up at Magus. “They require a different kind of healing.”

“How should we treat it?” asked Magus.

After a moment of thought, Spencer said, “Actually, it's not difficult. Just don't let her worry, get angry, or be scared. Try your best to keep her happy.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“That's it?” Magus asked, seemingly in disbelief.

“What does she like?” Spencer asked.

Speaking of that, Magus was taken aback. Over the years, they had experienced so much that they had long lost their original selves. As for Lina, she had been plagued by illness for a long time, so he had never heard her mention what she wanted or what she liked.

So, when confronted with that question, Magus found himself momentarily at a loss for an answer.

Upon seeing that, Spencer furrowed his brows. “You don't even know what she likes?”

“I...”

A faint smile played at the corners of Spencer's mouth. “And yet, you claim to love her?”

Magus pursed his lips, only now realizing how thoroughly he had neglected Lina. Spencer is right. How can I still dare to say I love her after all this?

Magus looked at Lina, his eyes filled with regret and heartache.

“If you don't know what she likes, her condition will be a tough problem to fix. Let's talk about it when you figure it out!” With that, Spencer got up and left.

Magus looked on, his brows furrowed in deep thought, yet he didn't know what to say.

He knew, whether as a lover or a family member, he was far from competent. Therefore, he had nothing to say about Spencer's indifference.

However, Anthony, who was standing by, immediately spoke up. “She loves children.”

After he finished speaking, Spencer was slightly taken aback, looking at Anthony, then at Magus.

Anthony repeated confidently, “Lina loves children!”

Spencer's gaze turned to Magus, who looked back at Anthony in surprise, not expecting him to actually speak up.

“Is that so?” Spencer asked.

Magus nodded. “Yes, she does love children... We almost had a child once... Ever since we lost the child, she's been like this!”

Hearing that, Spencer looked at him. “Why didn't you mention it earlier, then?”

“I thought you were talking about physical objects...”

Spencer glanced at him, retraced his steps, and took Lena's pulse again.

A moment later, Spencer stood up.

“How is it?” asked Magus.

“There is indeed a method we can try, but we can only start it a month later, provided that her health is in good condition!” said Spencer.

“What method?”

“What method?”

Anthony and Magus asked almost at the same time.

Spencer lowered his gaze, looking at Anthony. “You go out first!”

Anthony furrowed his brows in confusion. “What?”

“This solution is not suitable to be heard by children!” Spencer enunciated.

Anthony was taken aback. Although he didn't know what solution was not suitable to be heard by children, seeing Spencer's serious tone, he decided not to pursue it further.

“I'll wait outside!” With that, he headed straight for the door.

Only when the door was finally closed did Spencer shift his gaze, looking at Magus.

“I just examined her health. She's still young, so you might want to consider having another child.”

Hearing that, Magus looked at him with a surprised gaze. “But her body—”

“She can handle it!” As if he knew what Magus was about to say, Spencer nodded.

Magus found himself at a loss for words for a moment.

At that moment, Spencer leaned in, whispering a few words into Magus' ear. After Magus heard that, his ears turned a faint shade of red.

“Will that really work?” Magus asked incredulously.

He had never seen a doctor treating someone like that before.

“You don't trust me?” Spencer asked.

“No, that's not it...”

“Since that's not the case, then do as I say. I'm telling you. It all depends on how you handle this matter whether you can make her feel young and fall in love with life again. Magus, you're the cure for her mental illnesses!” Spencer enunciated.

Magus was still stumped.

“That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you!” After finishing his sentence, Spencer didn't linger any longer and turned to walk away.

Magus stared at Spencer's retreating figure, then shifted his gaze to Lena, who was lying on the bed. His eyes held an indescribable complexity.

After all, it had been so many years since they had done something like that.

Meanwhile, Anthony waited outside the door, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Natasha.

Even though Spencer said he would come up with a solution, Anthony knew that some matters simply couldn't be delayed.

Just as he was thinking, Spencer walked out from inside.

Hearing a noise, Anthony looked back. Anthony arched his brow when he saw Spencer. “You're done talking?”

Spencer nodded.

Anthony didn't ask much more. He simply looked at him and said softly, “Thank you!”

Spencer looked at him. “I heard from Thalia that this Magus is a master of disguise?”

Anthony didn't hide anything and nodded. “That's right.”

“You intend to use him to infiltrate the Vermillion Base?” Spencer asked in return.

To be honest, Anthony hadn't considered that yet, but he had to admit Spencer had provided him with a pretty good approach.

Anthony concealed his thoughts without any change in expression. “I haven't decided yet!”

“Anthony, I know you have ideas, but dealing with Vermillion Base is not a matter for anyone to play hero. It requires everyone's cooperation. You'd better discuss it with your father,” Spencer said.

Listening attentively, Anthony gave a slight nod. “I will!”

Spencer wanted to say something else, but looking at Anthony, he hesitated for a moment and then decided against it. “I'm heading back to the lab first.”

“All right.” Anthony nodded.

Without uttering another word, Spencer got up and left.

Anthony just stood there, watching Spencer's retreating figure with his dark gaze.

Just then, Anthony's phone began to ring. Seeing that it was a call from Benjamin, he picked it up.

“Hey, Benjamin, what's wrong?” he asked.

“Tony, I just overheard Dad and Mr. Dave talking about planning an ambush on Vermillion Base. Did you know about this?” Benjamin asked.

“Where are they now?” Anthony asked directly.

“Mr. Dave's study!”

Without another word, Anthony put away his phone and headed toward Dave's study.
