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


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


    ncing 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 wasing from under the nket.


    Seeing the situation, Anthony walked over in that direction.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Sitting by the bed, Anthony listened to the soundsing from under the nket. He reached out


    and patted the nket.


    “Denise,” he called out.


    However, the person under the nket did not respond.


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


    Denise''s voice broke out in uncontroble 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 nkets. “Are you nning to suffocate yourself?”


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


    uncontroble 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 nket suddenly stopped sobbing.


    The next second, the nket 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 Keh. 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 nced at her and said, “She would find out sooner orter. 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 antidoteing along?”


    “Well...” Thalia hesitated for a moment. “Ever since Spencer returned, he''s been holed up in theb.


    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 Keh in that situation.


    Just then, the bathroom door swung open, and Denise walked out from inside.


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


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


    Anthony nced 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 cab, found her clothes,


    and quickly put them on.


    A few minutester, 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?”
