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

Chapter 942 Benjamin Discovers The Truth

A sense of foreboding began to spread within him.

Benjamin instantly became much more alert, standing at the door, his gaze fixed on the inside.

Initially, it was thought that Spencer was treating Natasha's illness. However, as time ticked by, the transparent bag in Spencer's hand gradually began to turn red.

He's drawing blood, isn't he? Instantly, Benjamin realized Spencer was drawing blood from Natasha.

Nat has already become so frail. Why do they still need to draw her blood? Benjamin was confused.

His intuition told him that there had to be more to the matter than met the eye.

Leaning against the door frame, Benjamin stared intently inside. Upon confirming that blood was being drawn, he narrowed his eyes. Even with my lack of common sense, I know it's impossible to draw blood from someone so weak. Unless...

At that moment, flashes of his argument with Anthony came to mind, especially the unusual reaction when he mentioned Natasha's health. Benjamin also remembered that when he and Denise came in to find Anthony, Anthony had tearful eyes. Also, Benjamin's inspection of the kitchen ingredients pointed to one thing, and that was Natasha's drastic weight loss wasn't due to any so-called gastrointestinal issues. There was another reason behind it.

There and then, Benjamin figured that reason was related to drawing blood.

When Benjamin looked inside, he saw Kenneth wearing a serious expression and keeping mum. If I can understand the principle, they must know it as well. Furthermore, Spencer is a doctor! He sure knows he shouldn't draw blood from an extremely weak patient. Well, unless he has no choice but to do so. That's very likely the cause of Nat's drastic weight loss.

Benjamin was almost as smart as Anthony. Just from that scene alone, he had already pieced everything together. I don't know if my assumption is right or not, but since it has come to my attention, I must get to the bottom of it.

With that thought in mind, Benjamin pushed the door open and walked right in.

At that moment, Spencer had just finished drawing blood from Natasha and was about to pack up his things after removing the needle. That was when he noticed someone standing at the door.

Everyone at the scene frowned when they saw Benjamin.

That was especially the case for Natasha.

First, she furrowed her brows, then looking at him, she asked nonchalantly, “Benjamin, why are you here?”

Benjamin didn't speak. Instead, he walked toward them step by step. By the time he reached Natasha, Spencer had already discreetly put away the items.

“I'll be off now!” Spencer said to Kenneth and Natasha.

Kenneth glanced at Spencer and nodded.

Just as Spencer was about to get up and leave, Benjamin suddenly asked, “What did you just pack up?”

Spencer turned toward Benjamin and answered, “It's nothing.”

“May I take a look?” Benjamin asked.

There were no superfluous expressions between the two of them. It was as if they had already known what was happening next.

Spencer was looking at him, not saying a word.

Benjamin was also staring back at Spencer silently.

Right then, Natasha looked at Benjamin and asked in a soft tone, “Benjamin, what's wrong?”

Benjamin averted his gaze, and when he saw Natasha's face turned even paler, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

“All I want to know is what Spencer was doing just now!” Benjamin said.

“He is helping me improve my health!” Natasha sighed.

“Did he need to draw blood to do that?” Benjamin asked.

As soon as those words fell, Natasha found herself at a loss for words.

Looking up at Kenneth, Natasha's gaze was filled with helplessness. She didn't know Benjamin had seen it.

As she was pondering on what to say, Kenneth uttered, “There's another reason for drawing blood. It's for a test to see if there are other issues!”

“Why did he need to draw so much blood for the test?” Benjamin questioned.

He appeared calm and unhurried, yet his eyes held a reddish hue. His voice was indescribably deep and filled with an oppressive tone. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, everyone fell silent.

“Daddy, Nat, I'm just a kid, and I'm not as capable as my Tony. However, I'm not stupid. You can't fool me with those words!” he said, looking at them.

The voice, low and somewhat choked with emotion.

He didn't know exactly what had happened to Natasha, but by observing her physical state and everyone else's emotions, he could sense something serious had happened.

Natasha's heart was filled with indescribable complexity when she saw Benjamin choking up.

She then lowered her gaze and composed herself. Afterward, she lifted her gaze to look at Benjamin and smiled. “Who told you weren't as smart as Tony? You're just different in your own ways!”

“Is that so? Why does Tony know everything, and I don't?” Benjamin retorted.

Natasha furrowed her brows when she heard that.

Spencer, who was standing nearby, observed the situation carefully. He knew that under those circumstances, Natasha had no other options.

Therefore, Spencer said, “I'll head out first to prepare what we need for tonight. You guys carry on chatting!”

Natasha nodded.

At that moment, Benjamin suddenly reached out and grabbed Spencer.

Spencer furrowed his brows, lowering his gaze to look at him.

Benjamin clutched tightly to the corner of Spencer's clothes, refusing to let go. His palm-sized face was filled with defiance.

Spencer knew what Benjamin wanted. When he looked at the latter, his heart was filled with pain.

Seeing that, Natasha suddenly instructed, “Benjamin, let go of him!”

“Nat...”

“I'll tell you what you want to know,” Natasha said.

“Really?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha nodded. “Yes!”

At that moment, Benjamin hesitated for a while before reluctantly letting go of Spencer.

Spencer glanced at Benjamin, then Natasha, before finally getting up and walking out.

As the door closed, Benjamin stood tensely two meters away. It was as if he was waiting for something or, perhaps, afraid of something.

At that moment, Natasha looked at him and waved. “Benjamin, come here.”

Benjamin approached Natasha.

“Sit,” she said.

Benjamin looked around, then sat down next to Natasha.

Tears welled up in Benjamin's eyes. Natasha had rarely seen him cry, not even the last time when he had tumbled down a cliff and injured his arm when they searched for Denise. I've never seen him like this. People often say that the child who cries will get pampered. I've never seen Benjamin show any weakness, let alone shed a tear.

Looking at him, Natasha felt a soft numbness in her heart, and she was filled with an indescribable mix of sadness and complexity.

Seeing him like that, Natasha said, “Benjamin, you're all grown up now, and this is the first time I've seen you cry. Do you want to cry it out?”

Benjamin knew Natasha did that on purpose.

“No,” Benjamin answered. Immediately after, a tear streamed down his cheek before he had the chance to wipe it away.

In the next second, Benjamin immediately wiped it off with his arm.

He didn't want to cry, but for some reason, all sorts of fears about the future flooded his mind when he looked at Natasha's pale and frail face.

If anything were to happen to Natasha, he couldn't even begin to imagine what his future would look like.

He had never indulged in such imaginations and assumptions before.
