You're Out Daddy

Chapter 836 Locate Him By All Means

The man thought for a moment before speaking earnestly, “Well, it's like this. The man he followed back then... was a despicable person. Merely a heartless beast disguised in human form.”

Thalia, growing impatient, looked at him and interrupted, “Get to the point.”

“Magus regarded that man as an elder brother figure. However, when the operation failed, that man callously abandoned Magus without a word. Due to Magus' unwavering loyalty towards him, he would never betray him. Yet, that man was fearful. He directly threatened Magus, proclaiming that if he dared to betray him, he would kill his woman and child!”

Upon hearing the revelation, both Anthony and Thalia were taken aback. “He has a child?” they exclaimed in unison.

The man glanced at both of them and then continued, “Yes.”

“Where's the child?” Thalia asked, her demeanor becoming particularly anxious.

The man let out a weary sigh. “The child was lost before even being born...”

A heavy silence enveloped Thalia and Anthony.

They had let their imaginations run wild, assuming a sinister conspiracy.

Thalia cast a glance at the man and asked, “How could the child just... disappear?”

“Is it even necessary for me to say?” the man replied with a hint of bitterness. “The elder brother figure whom Magus held in high regard, for reasons unknown, took an interest in Lina. At that time, Lina was pregnant with Magus' child, and he attempted to force himself upon her... The child was lost during the struggle.”

Thalia's expression darkened once again.

“He's truly a despicable scoundrel!” she murmured softly.

“No doubt about it. The sad part is that Magus was still protecting him all along, only to discover the truth after he was released...” The man let out a sigh as he continued speaking.

Anthony's expression grew tense. A man like that was no better than a beast.

“And what about his girlfriend's condition?” Anthony inquired.

“The doctor said she suffers from long-standing depression, which has deeply affected her heart. After losing the child, she has been deteriorating day by day. It has been many years, but she hasn't been able to move on... The doctor also mentioned that if this continues, she won't survive much longer,” the man explained.

As he spoke, the man noticed the sympathetic expressions on Anthony and Thalia's faces, prompting him to add, “The reason he joined me in scamming money was to pay for Lina's medical treatment. Otherwise, no matter how terrible he is, he wouldn't have resorted to such actions!”

At that point, Thalia's gaze sharpened, and she directed it at him. “So, you truly are despicable. Knowing well that this money is meant to save lives, you still managed to profit so greatly from it!”
