Chapter 973 What Is Wrong With My Dad
Thalia's eyes flickered slightly. “Your daddy, he...”
While they were talking, Spencer's voice echoed from one side.
“Thalia, come help me.”
Thalia turned around, only to see Spencer carrying Kenneth toward her. Stumbling and staggering, Kenneth looked to be in a serious condition.
Looking at the situation, Thalia shifted her gaze to Anthony. Without saying much, she immediately ran forward to help.
When Anthony's gaze trailed the direction she ran in, he could easily guess what was happening the moment he saw Spencer carrying Kenneth's stumbling figure out.
For an instant, his legs went inexplicably weak. Then, gathering his strength, Anthony immediately ran in the same direction.
Luke, who was following behind, frowned upon seeing this.
“Boss...” Luke muttered under his breath, then immediately picked up his phone to notify Dave before following the others.
Thalia arrived first, casting a glance at Kenneth, who was covered in dirt and blood. Then she turned to Spencer. “How is he?”
“I'm not sure. We need to find a place to thoroughly examine him!”
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Anthony running over. Thalia's brows furrowed tightly, but she didn't know what to say.
Upon reaching them, Anthony halted his steps.
“Daddy...” he murmured, looking at Kenneth. His mind was filled with unpleasant thoughts. Raising his eyes to look at Spencer, he asked, “What's going on? What happened to my dad?”
“An explosion just occurred over there, and your dad happened to be inside at the time.”
Upon hearing those words, Anthony couldn't help but freeze. The most optimistic scenario now is just as bleak.
With teary eyes, Anthony asked, “Then... Then Daddy...”
“If you want to know what's going on, find a place for me to set him down, so I can give him a thorough check. Then we'll know!” said Spencer.
Anthony was not the type to act without thinking. As he turned around, just about to say something, Luke spoke up. “Over there.”
Hearing the suggestion, Spencer nodded and immediately carried Kenneth in that direction.
Luke immediately stepped forward to help.
Just as they were about to put Kenneth down in an empty space, Luke immediately took off his coat and laid it on the ground. Then he said, “Go ahead and put him down.”
Without any hesitation, Spencer put Kenneth down directly.
Then, those who were following behind immediately formed a circle, facing outward to protect those inside.
Inside the circle, Kenneth lay on the ground, his face and head smeared with blood. As for his body, only upon closer inspection could one see the numerous wounds and bloodstains due to the dark
color of his clothing.
Spencer was examining Kenneth, while Anthony stood by, staring blankly. His eyes were red and he waited with bated breath.
He was terrified that Spencer's next words would cause his heart to sink.
Meanwhile, Thalia stood by his side, finding it hard to bear. Even if she couldn't tell how close Anthony and Kenneth were, she knew that Kenneth's presence had long taken root in the former's heart.
Even if Kenneth wasn't by Anthony's side when he grew up, he was still the latter's irreplaceable father.
With that thought, Thalia frowned slightly. She then looked at him and asked, “Anthony, are you okay?”
Anthony nodded. “I'm fine.”
“Or you could wait somewhere else—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Anthony interrupted him coldly, “No, I'm staying right here. I'm not going anywhere!”
Thalia looked at him with pursed lips and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After Spencer conducted his initial examination, Dave received the news and hurriedly rushed over.
Upon spotting Kenneth in the crowd, he was immediately taken aback.
The men protecting Kenneth, upon seeing Dave approach, automatically made way for him.
Looking ahead, Dave slowly walked into the circle.
On the ground, Kenneth's eyes were tightly shut. He looked as if he had gone through some great catastrophe, and it was hard to tell if he was still alive.
Dave's heart felt as if it had been dealt a heavy blow.
“How could this happen?” Dave murmured. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Dave.” Seeing the situation, Luke immediately stepped forward.
Suddenly, Dave burst out, “Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?”
Luke looked on, his brows furrowed, but he didn't know what to say.
At that moment, Thalia, who was standing nearby, spoke up. “He went to kill Boss, but somehow ended up like this... He must have been ambushed!”
Listening to Thalia's words, Dave gradually shifted his gaze and then approached Kenneth.
Looking at him, he spoke slowly and deliberately. “Kenneth, we've already lost Zavier. You can't allow anything to happen to you, you hear me? You're not allowed to, do you understand?”
However, what responded to him was silence.
Dave's gaze shifted directly to Spencer. “How is he doing?”
Spencer furrowed his brows. “I did a quick check on him, and his external injuries aren't severe. He must have been far from the explosion, or he managed to dodge it directly. However, I'm not certain if there are any internal injuries. We need to get him back for a thorough examination!”
Dave looked behind him. “Get a car here immediately.”
“Yes!” Someone from behind him immediately went off.
Just then, Kenneth suddenly coughed and opened his eyes, causing everyone to turn their gaze toward him immediately.
“Kenneth?”
“Daddy?”
At that moment, Kenneth's eyes, seemingly weary, slowly opened. When he saw Dave, he said, “It's so noisy. I can't even get a little sleep.”
Upon hearing that, Dave couldn't help but burst into laughter. At that moment, the tension within him gradually dissipated. “D*mn, you nearly scared the life out of me.”
“Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill!” he said. Then, his gaze shifted to Anthony who was standing by the side.
Kenneth didn't speak as he stared at Anthony directly. The latter's eyes rimmed with red, as if he had been holding back his tears for a long time.
Looking at him, Kenneth curled up his lips into a smile. “What's the matter? Were you scared?”
Tears uncontrollably streamed down Anthony's face. “No, I knew that you would definitely be alright.”
Upon hearing the reply, Kenneth laughed. “Of course I'll be fine. Nat is still waiting for me at home, so I must go back. I still have a secret to tell her...” As he spoke, he began to get up.
Seeing this, everyone immediately stepped forward to lend a hand.
However, Kenneth stopped them. “It's fine. I can manage.” While speaking, he immediately stood up.
When he saw their reactions, the corner of his mouth tugged mischievously. “See? Didn't I tell you it was possible?”
Everyone looked at him with grins breaking out on their faces.
“Boss is already dead. There's nothing left for me to do here. Dave, I'll leave the rest to you.”
“Don't worry.”
Kenneth looked at Anthony. “Let's go home.”
Anthony rose to his feet, taking the initiative to hold Kenneth's hand. However, before his hand could touch Kenneth's, the latter's body suddenly fell backward.
“Daddy!”
“Kenneth!”
Shouts of worry echoed all around.
