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

Chapter 965 Might Not Make It Until Then

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.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

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.

The table moved down slowly, revealing a squarish hidden compartment before him.

Thalia and Alexia were also drawn to what was happening.

After both of them exchanged glances with Spencer, the man immediately stood up and looked in that direction.

Two small ceramic bottles with smooth surfaces were placed in the compartment. At first glance, they looked like any other normal bottles.

Spencer cast a glance at Thalia and was about to reach for a bottle when Thalia said, “Be careful.”

Flashing a reassuring smile at her, he slowly extended his hand and walked in the direction of the hidden compartment.

He ventured carefully to make sure that there were no traps before picking up the bottle. No mechanisms were triggered as he did that.

After grabbing the medicine bottle, Spencer immediately took it out.

Nothing seemed to be amiss even after that.

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure everything was all right.

Spencer sat down and poured out the medicine, examining it carefully.

Thalia looked at him and leaned in before asking softly, “What's this?”

Spencer looked up at her, his eyes gleaming. Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile before he replied, “This is the real antidote.”

Upon hearing this, Thalia's eyes lit up once again. “Really?” she asked.

“Yes!” Spencer nodded.

“Hurry up and keep it properly then. Don't lose it!” Thalia immediately said.

Hearing that, Spencer quickly put the medicine back into the bottle.

“Give it to me. I'll keep it,” Thalia said.

She was determined to protect the medicine, even if it cost her, her life.

“It's all right. I'll keep it,” Spencer replied.

“No. I don't trust you,” Thalia said before taking the bottle from the man's hand.

Although he was rather reluctant, there was nothing Spencer could do but to give in to her. “Be careful. There's only one pill,” he cautioned helplessly.

Exercising utmost care, Thalia kept the medicine properly. A wave of gratitude surged in her heart as she said emotionally, “At least we didn't make a wasted trip.”

Spencer could not help but stare at her. At that moment, the woman looked just like an innocent child, beaming brightly and radiating pure joy.

Then, as if recalling something, Thalia looked at Spencer and asked, “What's in the other bottle?”

“If I'm not mistaken, it should be the original poison,” Spencer replied.

When Thalia heard that, she scrunched up her brows in disgust and said, “Quickly get rid of it. We can't let it harm anyone else.”

However, Spencer did not agree to that. “We need to take it back for research purposes. Besides, we should also document the poison to prevent more people from being harmed in the future.”

“You're right. You're always so smart,” Thalia replied with a smile.

Her love always shone so brightly. The way she expressed her affection was also direct and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Undeniably, Spencer was rather pleased with her praise. However, he responded modestly, “It's just the nature of a doctor.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia could not help but compliment, “In my heart, you are the best doctor.”

Spencer laughed.

Just then, Alexia, who was watching by the side, pretended to clear her throat and said, “This isn't the time to be lovey-dovey. Let's figure out a way to get out of here first.”

Thalia glanced outside and replied, “We're completely surrounded. All we can do now is wait for Kenneth to arrive.”

“What did my savior say when you contacted him just now?” Alexia asked.

“He'll be here in ten minutes.”

“Ten minutes?” Alexia looked outside when she heard that and continued, “I'm not sure if we're able to hold on until then.”

Just as Thalia was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed. Looking toward the door, she said in a cold voice, “I think you're right. We probably won't make it till then...”
