Chapter 631


    Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a look before walking out of the room without saying anything.


    “Tony, Ben,” Denise called out, but the two boys did not even turn their heads around.


    “Wait for me!” Denise cried out before moving to go after them. However, Thalia stopped her.


    “Denise, is Nat okay?”


    Denise shook her head. “She looks fine, but...”


    “But what?”


    Denise stared at Thalia, the worry she was feeling visible on her face. After a while of hesitation,


    she said, “Thalia, say, would a person really pass out from anemia? Nat has always been healthy,


    and I don''t think that''s...”


    Thalia froze when she registered Denise''s words.


    She did not know why Natasha passed out, but she knew well that it was not caused by anemia.


    Instead, it might be due to the poison in her.


    Right then, Denise cocked her head and prompted, “Thalia?”


    Her voice pulled Thalia back to reality, and she turned to the girl. “What''s the matter?”


    “That''s what I should be asking you. Why are you spacing out?” Denise asked.


    Thalia hummed for a second before saying, “I''m not. I''m thinking about Nat. Of course, a person


    could easily pass out from anemia. Since Nat donated so much blood to me the other day, it''s quite


    possible.”


    Right then, a thought popped into Thalia''s head.


    Did Spencere to take my blood for this? Would she have passed the poison to me if I had


    taken her blood?


    At that, Thalia paled.


    Nevertheless, she tried to keep the atmosphere light-hearted as she nonchntly continued, “So


    this is normal. Don''t worry.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “Is that so?” Denise frowned.


    “Of course!”


    Denise nodded. “Okay, then.”


    As long as it''s not anything else.


    Right then, Thalia asked, “Denise, do you know which room Spencer''s doing experiments in?”


    “I do!”


    “Please take me there.”


    Denise''s frown deepened. “Can you get out of bed already?”


    “Of course!” came Thalia''s reply before she sat up with difficulty. “Spencer asked me to exercise as


    long as I don''t overdo it.”


    Denise quickly stepped forward to help Thalia out when she saw her struggling.


    Thalia let out a long sigh once she was sitting upright. She then forced herself to give Denise a


    smile before saying, “I really can''t lie on this bed for too long, or else I''m going to end up azy


    bum!” With that, she moved to get off the bed. Denise hastily ced her shoes properly for her.


    Warmth seeped into Thalia''s heart when she saw Denise''s caring action, and she said, “Thank you,


    Denise.”


    Denise shed a smile at her before holding her to support her. “Be careful!”


    Thalia then slowly got down from the bed.


    Another sigh escaped Thalia''s lips once she had her feet nted on the ground.


    “Are you okay?” Denise asked.


    “I''m fine!”


    “Be careful, then. Take things slowly.”


    As Thalia inched forward with care, she turned to Denise andmented, “You''re quite good at


    taking care of people!”


    “I''ve seen it often, but this is the first time I''m doing this,” Denise replied.


    “You''ve seen it often? Where?”


    “On the inte.”


    “Why are you seeing these things on the inte?” Thalia wondered out loud.


    “Nat was robbed by several people after work a few years ago when we were overseas, and she


    had been hurt by a knife. It''s what the nurse aides in the hospital did for Nat when she was in the


    hospital. We were too young to take care of Nat, but we learned these skills in case something like


    this happens again. That way, we''ll be able to take better care of her.”


    Thalia''s heart sank when she heard Denise''s exnation. It wasmon for incidents like these to


    happen overseas. As a matter of fact, some of the ruffians solely targeted foreigners. Women were


    the mostmon targets, and as they were in a foreignnd, they would be dismissed even if they


    were to lodge a police report.


    Furthermore, Natasha was raising three children by herself. It was obvious life was challenging for


    her.


    Even if the three children were geniuses, they were still young and helpless.


    Thalia lowered her gaze. “I''m surprised that those robbers could rob Nat, honestly.”


    She had seen how Natasha had fought the lunatic in the hospital. Although she could see that


    Natasha was not a professional fighter, the skills she disyed would be more than enough to deal


    with the few robbers.


    Denise sighed upon hearing Thalia. “It wasn''t just a few; it was a whole group. Moreover, Nat was


    ambushed. That was why she failed to gain the upper hand in the situation.”


    “I see,” Thalia muttered before turning to look at Denise. She thought Denise was the pampered


    princess of the family, but after hearing what the children had to go through back then, she realized


    that Denise was more of a loved but strong girl.


    “Don''t worry. From now on, I''ll protect you. I''ll never let anyone who dares to bully you go!” Thalia


    promised.


    Denise lifted her head to look at Thalia in gratitude. “You''re so nice, Thalia!”


    “You too!” Thalia pinched Denise''s cheek.


    The two of them then said nothing else as they continued to inch toward Spencer''s room door.


    Right as they were about to enter, Thalia lowered her gaze to look at the girl. “Denise, I need to


    have a private talk with Spencer. Aren''t you worried about Nat? You should go and take a look at


    her.”


    Denise bobbed her head. “All right. Be careful on your own then.”


    “Don''t worry. Hurry along now.”


    Denise nodded before letting go of her. The girl then turned and went in the direction of Natasha''s


    room.


    Thalia only pushed open Spencer''s door after watching Denise leave.


    Spencer was focused on his experiment. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he said


    without turning around, “Can''t you knock on the door beforeing in? You''re disrupting my


    concentration!”


    Thalia stepped into the room and closed the door behind her.


    Only when Spencer heard no other sounds did he finally turn around. He was greeted by the sight


    of Thalia standing at the doorway, staring at him.


    “Thalia.” Spencer rose to his feet before walking over to her. “Why are you here?”


    Thalia stared at him in silence.


    “There isn''t anywhere to sit here at all. Let me take you back to the room to rest,” Spencer said.


    “Spencer, am I poisoned too?”


    Spencer''s gaze turned somber.


    “Is it a yes or a no?” Thalia gritted out.
