You're Out Daddy

Chapter 631

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a look before walking out of the room without saying anything.

“Tony, Ben,” Denise called out, but the two boys did not even turn their heads around.

“Wait for me!” Denise cried out before moving to go after them. However, Thalia stopped her. “Denise, is Nat okay?”

Denise shook her head. “She looks fine, but...”

“But what?”

Denise stared at Thalia, the worry she was feeling visible on her face. After a while of hesitation, she said, “Thalia, say, would a person really pass out from anemia? Nat has always been healthy, and I don't think that's...”

Thalia froze when she registered Denise's words.

She did not know why Natasha passed out, but she knew well that it was not caused by anemia. Instead, it might be due to the poison in her.

Right then, Denise cocked her head and prompted, “Thalia?”

Her voice pulled Thalia back to reality, and she turned to the girl. “What's the matter?”

“That's what I should be asking you. Why are you spacing out?” Denise asked.

Thalia hummed for a second before saying, “I'm not. I'm thinking about Nat. Of course, a person could easily pass out from anemia. Since Nat donated so much blood to me the other day, it's quite possible.”

Right then, a thought popped into Thalia's head.

Did Spencer come to take my blood for this? Would she have passed the poison to me if I had taken her blood?

At that, Thalia paled.

Nevertheless, she tried to keep the atmosphere light-hearted as she nonchalantly continued, “So this is normal. Don't worry.”

“Is that so?” Denise frowned.

“Of course!”

Denise nodded. “Okay, then.”

As long as it's not anything else.

Right then, Thalia asked, “Denise, do you know which room Spencer's doing experiments in?”

“I do!”

“Please take me there.”

Denise's frown deepened. “Can you get out of bed already?”

“Of course!” came Thalia's reply before she sat up with difficulty. “Spencer asked me to exercise as long as I don't overdo it.”

Denise quickly stepped forward to help Thalia out when she saw her struggling.

Thalia let out a long sigh once she was sitting upright. She then forced herself to give Denise a smile before saying, “I really can't lie on this bed for too long, or else I'm going to end up a lazy bum!” With that, she moved to get off the bed. Denise hastily placed her shoes properly for her. Warmth seeped into Thalia's heart when she saw Denise's caring action, and she said, “Thank you, Denise.”

Denise flashed a smile at her before holding her to support her. “Be careful!”

Thalia then slowly got down from the bed.

Another sigh escaped Thalia's lips once she had her feet planted on the ground.

“Are you okay?” Denise asked.

“I'm fine!”

“Be careful, then. Take things slowly.”

As Thalia inched forward with care, she turned to Denise and commented, “You're quite good at taking care of people!”

“I've seen it often, but this is the first time I'm doing this,” Denise replied.

“You've seen it often? Where?”

“On the internet.”

“Why are you seeing these things on the internet?” Thalia wondered out loud.

“Nat was robbed by several people after work a few years ago when we were overseas, and she had been hurt by a knife. It's what the nurse aides in the hospital did for Nat when she was in the hospital. We were too young to take care of Nat, but we learned these skills in case something like this happens again. That way, we'll be able to take better care of her.”

Thalia's heart sank when she heard Denise's explanation. It was common for incidents like these to happen overseas. As a matter of fact, some of the ruffians solely targeted foreigners. Women were the most common targets, and as they were in a foreign land, they would be dismissed even if they were to lodge a police report.

Furthermore, Natasha was raising three children by herself. It was obvious life was challenging for her.

Even if the three children were geniuses, they were still young and helpless.

Thalia lowered her gaze. “I'm surprised that those robbers could rob Nat, honestly.”

She had seen how Natasha had fought the lunatic in the hospital. Although she could see that Natasha was not a professional fighter, the skills she displayed would be more than enough to deal with the few robbers.

Denise sighed upon hearing Thalia. “It wasn't just a few; it was a whole group. Moreover, Nat was ambushed. That was why she failed to gain the upper hand in the situation.”
