You're Out Daddy

Chapter 788 I Need Your Help With Something

Spencer's gaze landed on Natasha as the helicopter flew away. His eyes glistened with complicated emotions.

The woman just so happened to meet eyes with him when she retracted her gaze.

“What's wrong?” she asked.

Spencer hesitated a little before walking over. The words he had taken a long time to put together seemed so fake and held no meaning at that moment.

“What is it? Just spit it out. You know I hate it when someone is hesitant with their words,” Natasha said as she scrutinized him. Nevertheless, she could already guess what he was going to say.

After a moment of hesitation, the man looked at her and said, “Thank you.”

“That's all?” she asked, arching an eyebrow.

“There are so many things that I want to say. But after thinking about it, I think nothing else is more suitable than this,” he answered.

Natasha pondered for a moment before nodding her head. “All right. I accept it.”

Spencer stared at her, and the more nonchalant she looked, the more guilty he felt.

“I'm being serious. Thank you!” He met her gaze and continued, “But don't worry. I'll definitely develop an antidote for you. I'll give you my life if I can't do that, and I mean it!”

“Don't!” Natasha smiled and declined, “I'll accept the former idea, but let's forget the latter.”

“Do you not believe me?”

“Of course I do. But your life is too precious, so stay alive and be of use to society. Living or dying depends on fate. I'll decide what to do with my own life,” Natasha said.

Spencer was about to say something else when she added, “The reason I helped Thalia was not entirely because of you. I had my reasons for it too. I'm grateful to her for going with Anthony on this trip. Plus, the three kids still needed her protection in the future. Basically, I'm saying that Thalia is the perfect person for this.”

Spencer merely stared at her. No matter what she said, he was still grateful to her.

Their relationship was purely platonic before this, but after that incident, the feeling Spencer had for Natasha had morphed into something more complicated. The guilt and self-blame he harbored would follow him for the rest of his life.

Seeing that he wasn't talking, Natasha asked, “Oh, right. Based on Thalia's personality, she'd definitely go to you to have her blood drawn to delay the effects of the poison. What did you say to her?”
