You're Out Daddy

Chapter 730

Chapter 730 Not Far From The Truth

Spencer followed the doctor into the room to tend to Kenneth's wound.

Meanwhile, the three children stayed outside and waited quietly.

After a few moments, Denise couldn't stop herself from turning to look at her brothers. “Don't you find the circumstances peculiar? They went out to help Thalia look for the antidote, yet Daddy ended up injured to this extent?” She voiced out the doubt in her mind.

“It's not just weird. It's bizarre,” Benjamin chimed in. Compared to Denise's anxious demeanor, he appeared much calmer.

“Putting aside Daddy and Thalia's hostile relationship, would he take such great risk for her even if they get along?” Denise asked.

“That's why there must be something we've yet to ascertain,” Anthony uttered.

Hearing that, Denise let out a long sigh. “I feel so stuffy in my chest right now, like someone is smothering me. Why can't these adults be honest with us?”

“As they always put it, they have our best interests at heart and didn't want us to be worried,” Benjamin replied.

“That's the only point the adults are lacking. They are always so presumptuous.” Denise pouted. Why do they need to complicate such a simple matter?

“This is similar to how we keep secrets from them. We don't want them to be worried about us, impede our plans, or fear they may not understand our intention. That's it,” Anthony said. In that aspect, he behaved like a big brother, concluding his younger siblings' confusion with just a few sentences.

Hearing that, Denise and Benjamin fell silent, basically admitting Anthony's words made all the sense.

After being quiet for a few moments, Denise asked, “Who do you think could hurt Daddy so severely? My heart aches when I see him in this state.”

Benjamin questioned, “Does Daddy have any enemies here?”


A trace of doubt flashed across Denise's face. “What about Vermillion Base?”

“If I'm not mistaken, they should be the culprit. The only force capable of resisting DX Group here is Vermillion Base. Therefore, they are probably the ones who could've harmed Daddy.” Benjamin inferred.

“So, Daddy went to Vermillion Base to seek the antidote? In that case, when did Vermillion Base poison Thalia?” Denise probed further.

That was also something baffling Anthony and Benjamin.

“Or, they didn't go to Vermillion Base to get the antidote. Instead, they were ambushed by Vermillion Base on the way there or on their way back,” Benjamin suggested.

“That could be one of the possibilities. However, I can't shake the feeling that we've overlooked something,” Anthony uttered pensively.

Staring at the boys, Denise said, “I think we should find out how Thalia was poisoned and who the person responsible was. We can eliminate some of our doubts by doing that, right?”

Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Denise is right. I think Thalia's poisoning is the key here. As long as we figure this out, all our problems can be solved.”

Anthony narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze onto them. “That's right, but how can we make Thalia confess?”

Denise and Benjamin stopped talking.

“Thalia repeatedly changed the topic of our conversations today, so her poisoning is the key to the truth we want to uncover,” Anthony added.

“But I think we are getting closer to the truth now,” Benjamin said.

Anthony took a deep breath. “Anyway, fortunately, Daddy and the others returned safely. We can slowly investigate this matter.”

Benjamin and Denise bobbed their heads.

“Look.” At that moment, Anthony jerked his chin, motioning his siblings to follow his gaze.

...

At the same time, Thalia bored her eyes into Natasha in silence until the latter finally conceded.

Naturally, Natasha fathomed Thalia's intention, so she said, “I'm sorry about last night. I had no other choice.”

“What did you say?” Thalia piped up. Then, she realized she had spoken too loudly. Thalia turned her head to look at the three kids standing nearby before lowering her voice. “Do you know I'll forever live in guilt if something happened to you because of this?”

“Why would you feel guilty?” Natasha asked.

“Why would I feel guilty? I...” Thalia was infuriated until her mind went blank. “I would think it was my if you were met with mishaps because I failed to stop you.”

Natasha smiled. “I did this on my own accord. There's no way anyone will place the blame on you.”
