You're Out Daddy

Benjamin and Denise walked ahead and saw Natasha lying on the bed and unconscious.

They knew she would be okay, but in all their lives, they had only seen Natasha being strong. They had

never witnessed her lying on the bed in such a terrible state before.

Their eyes instantly turned red as tears gathered.

“Nat…” murmured Denise. She got closer and began blowing on Natasha’s face. “Does it hurt? I’ll blow

the pain away for you.”

Terence became teary-eyed when he saw that.

Kenneth was watching from the side as well. He shifted his gaze away, and those dark brown eyes

shone with a hint of complex emotion.

“It’ll be fine. They already said that Nat will recover,” cooed Benjamin from the side.

Still, Denise couldn’t stop herself from crying.

“It’ll be okay, Denise. Your mommy will be fine, so you don’t need to worry,” cooed Terence as he

walked to them.

To everyone’s surprise, Denise suddenly tilted her tiny head up and said, “I’m heartbroken, Gramps.

Nat has never been this injured before.”

Terence was taken aback. She’s right. Natasha has always played the role of a powerful mother and a

resilient granddaughter. Not once have I ever seen her in this state before… She would never let her

kids see her being sick or troubled.

“It’ll be okay. Everything will be fine. It’ll pass,” promised Terence.

“Come on, Denise. Gramps will be heartbroken if you keep crying like that,” said Benjamin.

He was also heartbroken and in pain, but he was the small man of the house. He had to be the

emotional support.

His words encouraged Denise to stop crying.

Kenneth spoke at that moment. “Old Mr. Watson, it’ll take some time before she wakes up. I got the

room right beside this one for everyone. You should take the kids there and rest up.”

Terence still had a scowl on. “There’s no need for that. I will stay here with Nat.”

“I want to stay too,” replied Denise.

“I’m not leaving either,” said Benjamin.

It was clear to see how much they worried, loved, and depended on Natasha.

Kenneth could almost see how beautiful and happy the family was when they were together. And I was

never a part of it…

Kenneth turned his attention to Terence. “Old Mr. Watson, the kids are young, and their bodies are still

developing. Are you really okay with them being stuck here?”

It was undeniable that Kenneth knew exactly what to say because he touched a nerve right away.

Terence turned to the kids and ordered, “Denise, Benjamin, go to the other room and rest up. I’ll be

here to guard over your mommy, and that will be enough.”

“Gramps, I want to stay here with Nat,” requested Denise sweetly.

“Be good, okay? I will go get you as soon as she wakes up,” promised Terence.

“But…”

“Either do as I say, or the two of you can go home and rest there,” said Terence. He put his foot down

to make the kids choose.

“Okay, then,” replied Denise. She didn’t want to go home, so she had to compromise.

Her reluctance to leave was understandable since she could see both her parents there.

It was only natural for a kid to want to stay.

Terence turned his attention to Benjamin after that. “Take your baby sister to the other room and sleep.”

Benjamin understood that was not up for debate, so he nodded. “Okay, Gramps.”

Terence shifted his gaze to Kenneth after that. The former was reluctant to do so, but he still said, “You

should go babysit them.”

Kenneth nodded.

Denise and Benjamin obediently left with Kenneth.

When they reached the door, Terence suddenly warned, “Kenneth, those kids are Nat’s everything.

Don’t get any funny ideas or I will destroy you, even if it means sacrificing these old bones of mine.”

Kenneth shot a look at the kids, then replied, “Don’t worry. I’m not that evil and won’t do something so

despicable.”

Terence didn’t bother looking at Kenneth again, and the latter left with the kids.

In the other room…

Kenneth led the kids into the room with two beds that looked rather clean.

He turned to the kids and instructed, “Sleep well here. I will come to get you when your mommy is up.”

The kids nodded simultaneously.

Denise suddenly reached out and held Kenneth’s hand as she turned around to leave.

When her soft, chubby hand touched Kenneth, he felt a unique emotion spread out within his heart.

He stared at the kid.

“Mr. Handsome, I need upsy-daisy,” said Denise in her cute voice. She noticed that the beds were a

little tall, and it would be rather difficult for her to get up there on her own.

Kenneth understood what she meant. Seeing that cute, chubby face truly tugged his heartstrings.

He crouched down and picked her up before carefully placing her on the bed.

“Thank you, Mr. Handsome,” said Denise with a smile.

Kenneth grinned at her before he shifted his gaze to Benjamin.

Benjamin immediately informed, “I can manage.” After saying that, he hopped right onto the bed in one

swift move.

Kenneth stared. He didn’t quite know what to say.

Everything was guesswork at that moment, and despite it making perfect sense, he didn’t have the guts

to be too certain or happy until he got the test results back.

“Rest well, kids. I’ll go see how things are,” said Kenneth who got up and left immediately after.

He had so much to say to them and had so many questions, but he didn’t know if they were aware of

the drama behind the scenes. He didn’t even know how they saw or felt about him.

I have to get a clearer picture, and I need to give them some space and time.

Benjamin turned to Denise as soon as Kenneth left.

“Isn’t that a little too obvious?” said Benjamin.

“No, it’s not,” denied Denise.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t let him think that we will accept him just like that. Nat will be

heartbroken if you do that.”

“Do you think he knows that we’re his kids?” asked Denise.

Benjamin thought about it and answered, “I think so. The way he looks at us is rather strange.”

“I think so too.”

“Ah, let’s not worry about that for now. Everything will be clear once Nat wakes up tomorrow,” replied

Benjamin. “We should send Tony a message. That way, he won’t worry about us.”

Denise nodded.

On the other side.

When Anthony showed up at the designated spot, he was wearing all black. Even his hat was black.

There was a small crowd where he was because it was close to the city center.

When he saw the message from Benjamin, he stopped worrying.

He shifted his gaze to the black car in front of him, then checked the photo Thalia sent him. The

number plate of the car matched, so Anthony approached it after he was certain there was no mistake.

He knocked on the door.

Thalia was playing with her phone at the time, and she shifted her gaze when she heard someone

knocking. However, she never saw anyone, so she turned her attention back to her game.

Anthony knocked once more.

Thalia heard the noise and looked around, but she still couldn’t see anyone.

What the f*ck? It’s so late at night… I-Is something unholy out there?

Thalia wasn’t superstitious, but the eerie situation she was in still scared her, so she didn’t roll down the

window.

Just then, Anthony hopped and revealed his tiny head. “Open the door.”

Seeing a kid there scared Thalia senseless. She rolled down the window a little and asked, “Are you

dead or alive?”

“Thalia, I will leave right now if you don’t open this door.”

Huh? He knows who I am?

Only then did Thalia unlock the car. Anthony reached out, opened the door, then got into the car by

using the step.
