Chapter 125

Chapter 125 He Understands Everything

At the same time, Kenneth suddenly reached out to stop Anthony from committing the deed.

They met each other’s gazes as the boy turned to him.

Both of them had bloodshot eyes.

“This isn’t something you should do,” Kenneth stated.

At that very moment, the police entered the room, and Kenneth hurriedly took the dagger from Anthony

and put it away.

The police turned the lights on.

Amid the absolute mess, they seized the “main culprit” first.

But upon noting that Gary was on the brim of death, they quickly alerted the doctors to save him.

Then, a man in a uniform who looked to be in his fifties walked over and frowned as he saw Kenneth.

“Kenneth? What are you doing here?”

“Hello, Mr. Zeller,” Kenneth greeted casually. “It’s been a while.”

“It really has been. To think you’d give me such a huge surprise during our next encounter!” exclaimed

Zeke Zeller. “Was this guy after you?”

Kenneth shot a glance at Natasha, who was standing beside him. “Yes. He was supposed to come

after me, but he messed with the wrong person.”

A perplexed Zeke wanted to find out more when Kenneth suddenly swayed a little. “You’re hurt,” he

said in concern, finally noticing the wounds on the latter’s abdomen.

“Just a bit. It’s no big deal.” Kenneth clutched his stomach as blood continued to spill out of his injuries.

“No big deal? Your grandpa’s going to get a heart attack if he sees this!” Zeke responded fearfully

before turning to his subordinates. “Call a doctor now.”

Kenneth turned to Natasha and strode toward her.

His lips paled and his gaze turned bleak as he glanced at the cuts on her arms. “Are you okay? Does it

hurt?”

Natasha shook her head.

“I couldn’t get revenge for you,” he lamented.

The woman smiled. “I’m more than happy with this outcome.”

As soon as Kenneth returned the smile, he shut his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

“Kenneth!”

Chaos ensued in the room.

…

The man was swiftly taken to the hospital.

Thalia took it upon herself to head to the police station as a witness.

A policeman gazed at Anthony. “Were you the one who called us, young man?”

Hearing that, Thalia instinctively hid the boy in her arms. “Yeah, he was. I told him to do it. The situation

was so dire that I could only get him to call you!”

The officer chuckled. “I was just asking. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

“I’m not nervous. I’m just doing my best to tell you everything I know!” the woman replied with a grin.

Nervous?

I’m Thalia Jacoway! I’ve gone through much worse than this!

Why would I be nervous?

Despite thinking that, her heart couldn’t stop racing. If her superiors were to find out that she had

involved the police, she was going to be punished severely!

Aware that she was trying to protect him, Anthony curled his lips into a smile.

The two left the police station after having their statements recorded.

Thalia was about to light the cigarette in her mouth, but she stopped herself after glancing at Anthony.

I shouldn’t harm the child. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

That’s not good.

Hence, she put her cigarette back into its box.

“There wasn’t anything wrong about my statement, was there?” she asked.

Anthony nodded approvingly. “Yeah. Everything you said was the truth.”

Thalia returned the nod and added after a moment of pondering, “Don’t tell Kyle about this.”

“You’re scared of him?”

“I just don’t want to cause trouble!”

Anthony laughed. “Don’t worry. You got into this because of me, so I’ve got your back even if he finds

out.”

Thalia turned to him and raised her eyebrows. “Really?”

“From now on, your problems are my problems. I’ll make an enemy out of anyone who tries to harm

you.”

He had done so because she had willingly acted for his sake today.

She had protected him.

Thalia broke into a smile and looked especially gorgeous. “Do you mean it?”

Anthony nodded solemnly. “Yes. Nat told me never to lie to the people I like.”

Thalia was beyond moved to hear that. “Aww… So you do know how kind I’ve been to you!”

Anthony shot her a glare. “Don’t talk like that.”

Thalia didn’t know how to respond.

“Talk like a normal person, will you?”

“Anthony Watson!”

Suddenly, he said to the furious woman, “Thank you for today.”

Huh?

Where did that come from?

“Why the sudden change in mood?”

Anthony wasn’t good at expressing himself with words, but he noticed everything she had done for him

and understood her efforts deeply.

Thalia was genuinely concerned about him.

“No reason. I just want to thank you.”

Thalia stared at him for a long while, not knowing what to say. Finally, she blurted, “I-It’s no problem!

You’re going to be my husband in the future anyway, so there’s no need to thank me!”

Anthony became speechless.

How am I supposed to keep the conversation going now?

Suddenly remembering something, Thalia turned to him. “Anthony! I have a question.”

Judging from the look on her face, the boy knew she was up to something, but he also knew he was

indebted to her.

“What is it?”

“Were you really thinking of killing that guy back then?”

Anthony pursed his lips in silence.

The woman continued to stare at him. She couldn’t quite believe that a young boy would be capable of

such viciousness.

After a long pause, Anthony answered, “I wasn’t really thinking at all. All I knew was that I’d fight

anyone who hurt my mommy, and everything I did back then was based on my instincts.”

Thalia gazed at him. This child was born different.

He’s not just abnormally gifted. That presence of his, those nerves of steel—all these make him far

from ordinary.

“If someone ever does the same to me one day, would you want to kill him too?” Thalia asked

thoughtlessly.

Anthony mulled over that briefly before shaking his head. “I wouldn’t.”

“Why not?” Thalia asked, feeling slightly dejected.

“Because that guy wouldn’t even get a chance to do that.”

“But what if he had a chance?”

“There won’t be any ifs.”

“Come on! Just what if he did? What would you do?” the woman insisted.

Anthony glanced at her. “I’ll make him die a horrible death,” he enunciated.

Thalia was overjoyed to hear that.

“I’m so glad I’ve treated you well all this time!” she exclaimed, unable to resist pinching the boy’s

adorable face.

Anthony was visibly displeased with that.

However, Thalia didn’t care. After some serious pondering, she turned to him again. “You might say

that, Anthony, but don’t ever do anything rash like that. Impulses are dangerous. You’re still young, so

don’t let your impulses lead you down a path of no return.”

Anthony smiled at her.

Of course, I understand that. But how can I help myself if that ever happens?
