You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 986 Denise Bawling Her Eyes Out

Meanwhile, upon his return, Anthony took a bath, changed his clothes, tidied up a bit, and then, with his bag slung over his shoulder, he prepared to head out again.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Thalia standing outside.

Anthony was taken aback when he saw her. “Can I help you with something?”

“Go check on Denise!” Thalia said.

Anthony furrowed his brows when he heard that. “What's wrong with her?”

Thalia sighed helplessly and glanced at him. “Go and see for yourself!”

With a slight frown, Anthony headed straight for Denise's room.

After reaching the door, Anthony knocked, but there was no response from inside.

Anthony glanced back at Thalia. “Just go in!” she said.

Without any further hesitation, Anthony pushed the door open and walked right in.

Glancing around the room, there was not a soul in sight.

“Where is she?” Anthony asked.

Thalia gestured for him to look toward the bed again. Upon closer inspection, Anthony realized that the quilt on the bed was puffed up.

Moreover, it seemed like a sobbing sound was coming from under the blanket.

Seeing the situation, Anthony walked over in that direction.

Sitting by the bed, Anthony listened to the sounds coming from under the blanket. He reached out and patted the blanket.

“Denise,” he called out.

However, the person under the blanket did not respond.

“Are you hiding here and crying?” Anthony asked.

Denise's voice broke out in uncontrollable crying.

Listening to her sobbing, Anthony's eyes also turned red.

“She's been crying for a long time now, and nothing seems to console her!” said Thalia helplessly.

Anthony's gaze once again fell on the bundle of blankets. “Are you planning to suffocate yourself?”

However, no matter what Anthony said, all that could be heard from within the quilt were sobs and uncontrollable cries.

Hearing her heartbroken sobs, Anthony understood that she had learned something.

After a moment of thought, Anthony suddenly asked, “Denise, do you want to see Daddy?”

No sooner had the words fallen than the person hiding under the blanket suddenly stopped sobbing. The next second, the blanket was thrown off, and Denise sat up straight. “Yes!”

Her eyes were a bright red, even somewhat swollen. Her usually well-kept hair looked disheveled. It was clear that she had been crying for a long time, and she was truly upset.

Seeing her like that, Anthony couldn't help but feel a sting in his nose, too.

At that moment, Denise looked at him and whispered, “Tony, I want to see daddy. Could you take me to him?”

Anthony was trying his best to keep his emotions in check. He looked at her and muttered, “I can take you there, but if you go like this, I'm afraid Nat will scold you when we arrive!”

Denise looked at him with a sense of injustice. “So, what should I do?”

Seeing her state, Anthony reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. Then, he softly said, “Go freshen up, wash your face, and make yourself presentable. Otherwise, if you show up like this, even Daddy will be taken aback by your appearance!”

Denise cried even harder when Anthony mentioned Kenneth. However, she forced herself to smile and said, “Okay. I'll go wash my face to see Daddy!” Without waiting for Anthony to say anything else, she immediately jumped off the bed and ran toward the bathroom, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

Watching her retreating figure, Anthony's gaze was unfathomably deep.

His demeanor was already mature to begin with, but after that ordeal, he seemed even more seasoned.

At that moment, Thalia, who was standing nearby, uttered, “It's my fault. I wasn't careful when I was talking to Spencer, and she overheard us!”

Anthony glanced at her and said, “She would find out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Besides, I've already given her a heads up. I just didn't spell it out for her!”

Thalia nodded. “No wonder!”

Anthony pursed his lips and looked at Thalia. “By the way, how's the antidote coming along?”

“Well...” Thalia hesitated for a moment. “Ever since Spencer returned, he's been holed up in the lab. I'm not exactly sure what he's up to. Maybe we can go check on him in a bit.”

Anthony nodded.

“Nevertheless, the antidote has indeed been retrieved, and we've made double preparations. The reason we couldn't develop the antidote before was because we were missing an ingredient. But now, we've found the missing ingredient, so the antidote will definitely be fine!” Thalia said.

Anthony genuinely hadn't heard about that matter. Looking at her, he asked, “Which ingredient was missing from the medicine?”

“Boss' blood.”

Anthony's eyebrows furrowed when he heard that.

It seemed that Thalia understood what Anthony was thinking. She continued, “Actually, many people do the same. In order to limit or prevent others from deciphering the antidote, they would use their own blood as an enhancer for the medicine. It couldn't be more normal!”

The thought of the hardships Natasha had endured made Anthony mutter, “Such people truly deserve to die!”

“Yes. That's right. Now, he really is dead!” said Thalia.

With a cold huff, Anthony expressed his displeasure.

Anthony was seeing red when he recalled how Boss had put Kenneth in that situation.

Just then, the bathroom door swung open, and Denise walked out from inside. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After washing her face and combing her hair smoothly, she looked much more refined.

“Tony, we can go now!” Denise said to him.

Anthony glanced at her, “All right, but it's a bit chilly at the base. You might need to change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside!”

Just as Anthony was about to leave, Denise grabbed him. “Tony, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?”

“No way!” Anthony looked at her, his eyes full of affection. “You are Daddy's most cherished child. He must be longing to see you right now. With you there, he might even wake up sooner.”

Upon hearing that, Denise's eyes welled up with tears again, but she didn't want to show it. She nodded, “Okay!”

“I'll wait for you outside!” With that, without waiting for Denise to say anything else, he walked straight out.

As soon as the door was closed, Denise immediately pulled open the cabinet, found her clothes, and quickly put them on.

A few minutes later, Denise had changed her clothes and went out. However, as soon as she opened the door, there was no one outside.

Denise was stunned.

Feeling a sudden panic, she was just about to call Anthony on her phone when the door not far away opened. Anthony and Spencer walked out from inside.

The two were walking and talking at the same time.

Upon seeing them, Denise paused for a moment, then immediately walked over. “Tony!”

Anthony shifted his gaze toward her. “Have you changed?”

Denise nodded.

Seeing the look of grievance in her eyes, Anthony furrowed his brows and asked, “What's wrong?”

“I thought you had left me behind...” Denise's voice was filled with an indescribable sense of grievance.

Anthony's gaze slightly narrowed, then he said, “How could that be? I was just asking Spencer about something!”

Denise was still immersed in sadness when she asked, “How are we going to get there?”

Right then, Spencer said, “Coincidentally, the antidote has been detected. I need to go there too. I'll drive you guys!”

At first, Denise just nodded, but then she reacted, looking at him with a bewildered expression. “Antidote? What antidote?”
