Chapter 730 Not Far From The Truth


    Spencer followed the doctor into the room to tend to Keh''s wound.


    Meanwhile, the three children stayed outside and waited quietly.


    After a few moments, Denise couldn''t stop herself from turning to look at her brothers. “Don''t you


    find the circumstances peculiar? They went out to help Thalia look for the antidote, yet Daddy


    ended up injured to this extent?” She voiced out the doubt in her mind.


    “It''s not just weird. It''s bizarre,” Benjamin chimed in. Compared to Denise''s anxious demeanor, he


    appeared much calmer.


    “Putting aside Daddy and Thalia''s hostile rtionship, would he take such great risk for her even if


    they get along?” Denise asked.


    “That''s why there must be something we''ve yet to ascertain,” Anthony uttered.


    Hearing that, Denise let out a long sigh. “I feel so stuffy in my chest right now, like someone is


    smothering me. Why can''t these adults be honest with us?”


    “As they always put it, they have our best interests at heart and didn''t want us to be worried,”


    Benjamin replied.


    “That''s the only point the adults arecking. They are always so presumptuous.” Denise pouted.


    Why do they need toplicate such a simple matter?


    “This is simr to how we keep secrets from them. We don''t want them to be worried about us,


    impede our ns, or fear they may not understand our intention. That''s it,” Anthony said. In that


    aspect, he behaved like a big brother, concluding his younger siblings'' confusion with just a few


    sentences.


    Hearing that, Denise and Benjamin fell silent, basically admitting Anthony''s words made all the


    sense.


    After being quiet for a few moments, Denise asked, “Who do you think could hurt Daddy so


    severely? My heart aches when I see him in this state.”


    Benjamin questioned, “Does Daddy have any enemies here?”


    A trace of doubt shed across Denise''s face. “What about Vermillion Base?”


    “If I''m not mistaken, they should be the culprit. The only force capable of resisting DX Group here is


    Vermillion Base. Therefore, they are probably the ones who could''ve harmed Daddy.” Benjamin


    inferred.


    “So, Daddy went to Vermillion Base to seek the antidote? In that case, when did Vermillion Base


    poison Thalia?” Denise probed further.


    That was also something baffling Anthony and Benjamin.


    “Or, they didn''t go to Vermillion Base to get the antidote. Instead, they were ambushed by Vermillion


    Base on the way there or on their way back,” Benjamin suggested.


    “That could be one of the possibilities. However, I can''t shake the feeling that we''ve overlooked


    something,” Anthony uttered pensively.


    Staring at the boys, Denise said, “I think we should find out how Thalia was poisoned and who the


    person responsible was. We can eliminate some of our doubts by doing that, right?”


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Denise is right. I think Thalia''s poisoning is the key here. As long


    as we figure this out, all our problems can be solved.”


    Anthony narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze onto them. “That''s right, but how can we make


    Thalia confess?”


    Denise and Benjamin stopped talking.


    “Thalia repeatedly changed the topic of our conversations today, so her poisoning is the key to the


    truth we want to uncover,” Anthony added.


    “But I think we are getting closer to the truth now,” Benjamin said.


    Anthony took a deep breath. “Anyway, fortunately, Daddy and the others returned safely. We can


    slowly investigate this matter.”


    Benjamin and Denise bobbed their heads.


    “Look.” At that moment, Anthony jerked his chin, motioning his siblings to follow his gaze.


    ...


    At the same time, Thalia bored her eyes into Natasha in silence until thetter finally conceded.


    Naturally, Natasha fathomed Thalia''s intention, so she said, “I''m sorry aboutst night. I had no


    other choice.”


    “What did you say?” Thalia piped up. Then, she realized she had spoken too loudly. Thalia turned


    her head to look at the three kids standing nearby before lowering her voice. “Do you know I''ll


    forever live in guilt if something happened to you because of this?”


    “Why would you feel guilty?” Natasha asked.


    “Why would I feel guilty? I...” Thalia was infuriated until her mind went nk. “I would think it was


    my if you were met with mishaps because I failed to stop you.”


    Natasha smiled. “I did this on my own ord. There''s no way anyone will ce the me on you.”


    “That''s not the point. If you wish to meet with Boss, you could''ve told me so. I could apany


    you. Why did you have to go alone?”


    “This thing happened because of me. Hence, I should be the one to resolve it. Besides, I didn''t want


    to drag anybody else into this.”


    “Pfft!” Thalia red at Natasha and seethed, “Why have I never realized your intention to want to be


    a hero? What''s the talk about not wanting to drag others into this matter? If it weren''t for you, I


    wouldn''t even have the chance to stand before you now to converse with you. Anyway, let me tell


    you, Natasha. If you act in this manner again, don''t me me for being merciless!” Thalia


    enunciated.


    Natasha wasn''t enraged by those remarks. Conversely, warmth crept into her heart. “How do you


    intend to be merciless?”


    “I...” Taking in Natasha''s amused and joking demeanor, Thalia grew more exasperated. She thought


    for a while before responding, “I''ll tell your kids about this to make them sad and downhearted.”


    At the mention of that, Natashanarrowed her eyes.


    “They''ll know sooner orter.”


    Thalia didn''t mean what she said. Nheless, she was at a loss after sensing Natasha''s


    nonchnce. “Are you implying I can''t threaten you in any way now?”


    Natasha grinned. “That''s not what I meant—”


    “That''s clearly what you meant! Fine. Indeed, I have nothing I can threaten you with. However, if you


    continue to behave like this, don''t me me for acting solo too. You''re not the only person who


    wishes to kill Boss. You might''ve stopped me once, but you won''t be able to do that twice,” Thalia


    interjected.


    Natasha believed Thalia was a woman of her word. That''s her personality. She''s straightforward


    and honest about her feelings.


    Seeing that, Natasha immediately said, “Okay. I won''t do things on my own anymore.”


    Sensing Natasha giving in, Thalia was a little taken aback. “Really?”


    “Putting aside the authenticity of my promise, I''ve already run out once, so I don''t suppose I can


    seed twice,” Natasha replied. She was well aware Keh would never allow her to sneak out


    again.


    Thalia nodded as the same thought urred to her. “You have a point. Still, I must warn you never


    to repeat something like this. If you do this again, I''ll part ways with you using my own method!”
