You're Out Daddy

Chapter 630

Thalia nodded at him. “Yes, I'm feeling much better.”

Spencer picked up the needle and the other tools at the side before turning back to Thalia. In a somber

voice, he said, “Roll up your sleeve.”

Thalia was confused, but she still obediently did as he said.

Spencer leaned forward to tie her thin arm. Right as the needle was about to pierce into her vessel, he

halted.

Lifting his head to look at Thalia, he said, “It might hurt a little.”

The confused look Thalia had earlier was replaced by a smile. “Okay, I got it.”

Spencer lowered his eyes after seeing her smile. He then inserted the needle and soon extracted a vial

of blood.

Then, he took a cotton ball to press down on the insertion site before pulling out the needle.

“Hold it there for a while so that you won't bruise,” Spencer said.

Thalia reached out to press it down herself, but her fingers accidentally brushed Spencer's. An electric

current ran up her arm.

Spencer quickly let go of her and stood up.

It was not his first time avoiding her, so Thalia was used to his reaction.

“Did you experience any discomfort for the past two days?” Spencer asked.

Thalia ruminated about it for a while before answering, “My heart hurts sometimes.”

Spencer snapped his brows together upon hearing that. “Your heart hurts sometimes? When did this

start?”

As he spoke, he grabbed the stethoscope to listen to her heartbeat.

Thalia sat still in silence.

After a while, Spencer asked, “The rhythm of your heartbeat sounds fine. How does the pain feel like?

How long has it been hurting?”

Thalia stared at him for a while before muttering, “It happened recently. I don't know why, but every

time I think about you, it feels like something is stabbing my heart.”

Her words rendered Spencer speechless.

The worried expression he had earlier transformed into an awkward look.

When Anthony and Benjamin heard her, they quickly averted their gazes with a smile on their faces,

trying to pretend that they heard nothing.

Thalia was short-tempered, but she had quite the silver tongue when it came to saying sweet nothings.

It felt as if she was a whole different person.

Spencer raked his gaze across the boys before glancing at Kenneth, who was outside. When Kenneth

noticed his gaze, he lowered his gaze and pretended to have heard nothing as well. Spencer then

turned to Thalia and said, “Rest well. Exercise, but don't overdo it. I have something else to attend to,

so I'll take my leave first.” With that said, he stood up to leave.

Right then, Thalia grabbed his hand, and Spencer turned around.

“I know you're busy, but no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself.”

Spencer blinked in a daze before nodding.

It was only then Thalia let go of him.

Spencer rose to his feet again and went out.

Thalia smiled at his retreating figure.

Even after the man was gone, Thalia still did not return to her senses.

Anthony then reached out to wave his hand in front of her face. “That's enough. He's gone already, so

stop pining after him.”

Thalia finally tore her eyes away from the door and shot Anthony a look. “What do you even know?

Who's pining after who?”

“You're pining after him, obviously,” Anthony retorted.

Thalia pursed her lips and said, “That's because Spencer's handsome.”

Hearing that, Anthony and Benjamin nearly burst into laughter.

Nevertheless, that was something they could not refute.

Anthony then said, “Say, Spencer doesn't really look like a doctor at all. In fact, he looks even more

delicate than a woman!”

Thalia curled her lips proudly. “Of course. That's a gift from god!”

Anthony arched a brow at her proud expression. “Would you be at ease if you were with Spencer?”

“Why wouldn't I be? I'm pretty too, and our children won't be any worse off than the three of you,”

Thalia told him.

“Wait, you've already thought about something so far down the road?”

“What's wrong? You've got a problem with that?” came Thalia's swift response.

Anthony only shook his head in resignation. “All right. To each their own, I guess. I won't say anything

to attack your preferences in case you decide to lose your temper with me.”

Thalia lifted a brow and said, “Smart boy.”

While the two of them were conversing, Benjamin was frowning at the side, seemingly deep in his

thoughts.

Right then, Thalia took the glass on the table to take a sip of water. She then asked, “Benjamin, what

are you thinking about?”

Benjamin came back to his senses and turned to her. “Thalia, do you know what Spencer does in the

lab?”

Thalia paused in her motions before asking, “Why are you asking about that?”

“I just find it strange...”

“Find what strange?”

“I can't tell what exactly is strange. Anyway, I just feel like something's amiss these two days, but I

really can't pinpoint why I feel that way.”

A hint of guilt flashed past Thalia's eyes. “You must be overthinking things. What can possibly be amiss

lately? It's best not to overheat the gears in your mind over this.”

Anthony chimed in, “No, wait; I think something is wrong as well. Spencer has been cooped up in the

lab the entire time as though he's working on something. Daddy doesn't let us disturb him either.

Thalia, aren't you curious about what Spencer's doing in there?”

Thalia was taken aback for a moment. “What can he possibly do in there? He's just busying away with

his usual stuff.”

“Is that so?” Anthony wondered out loud as he scrutinized Thalia.

Thalia averted her eyes and continued, “That's right. I don't understand his work matters anyway, so it's

pointless for me to be worried about that.”

Right as Anthony parted his lips to say something, Denise entered the room, looking distracted.

“Tony. Ben. Thalia.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin turned to her upon hearing her voice.

“You're back so soon.”

Denise bobbed her head in response.

Benjamin then asked, “What's the matter? Why do you look down?”

Denise was the kind who would undoubtedly be more than willing to share what happened during her

trip, but she was abnormally quiet.

She merely shook her head. “It's nothing.”

Alas, Denise was also the kind who wore her heart on her sleeve, and it was obvious that something

had happened.

“Where did you go with Daddy today?” Anthony queried.

Denise walked over to sit on the chair beside the bed before splaying the upper half of herself on the

bed, seemingly exhausted. “We went to visit one of Daddy's friend's grave. Then, we went to get the

phone for Mommy.”

“Where's Nat?” Benjamin asked.

“Nat, she...” Denise trailed off worriedly.

It was truly unlike Denise to speak hesitantly, so Anthony and Benjamin quickly figured out that

something was wrong. “What happened?”

“Nothing much, really. It's just that Nat passed out on our way back, so Daddy carried Nat to the room

when we came back.”
