You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1058 The Arissa I Know

In a bedroom of the manor, Spencer stood up after examining Liam to reassure them. “Don't worry. It's just a case of excessive worry. There's nothing wrong. No need for concern.”

Terence was still concerned. “Liam has a heart condition. Would this—”

“Don't worry, Old Mr. Watson. Nothing will go wrong with me around.” Spencer offered a reassuring affirmation.

Terence nodded in agreement with those words. However, as he gazed at the figure on the bed, his eyes were still filled with worry.

Suddenly, Denise chimed in from the side, “Spencer is very skilled, Gramps. Many people can't even get an appointment to see him for treatment. If he says it's nothing to worry about, then it's definitely nothing to worry about.”

Terence then turned to Spencer. “I know. Nat has mentioned it before.”

Spencer smiled courteously. “I will write a prescription,” he said. “If you follow my medication regimen, I'm confident that the old gentleman will live past a hundred years.”

Terence became excited upon hearing that. “Very well. Thank you for the trouble, then.”

“Not at all.”

After he spoke, Spencer turned his gaze to Arissa, who was standing nearby. He was about to say something, but she turned away and walked out.

She felt at ease upon learning that the old man was going to be fine.

Seeing the situation, Spencer was about to follow when Terence suddenly called out, stopping him in his tracks.

“Mr. Teal.”

Hearing his name, Spencer turned to look at Terence. “Please, call me Spencer, or even Spence, Old Mr. Watson. There's no need for formalities.”

Terence nodded. “All right. I'll call you Spence, then.”

Spencer gave a faint smile. “Sure.”

Terence was about to ask something when he suddenly realized the three children were still there. He swept his gaze over them and paused for a moment.

Anthony was perceptive. Upon seeing the look in Terence's eyes, he understood.

“Benjamin, Denise let's go and visit Nat.”

Benjamin and Denise looked at him and agreed wordlessly without asking any questions. Nodding, they followed him out.

As soon as they stepped out, Terence immediately turned to Spencer. “Tell me the truth, Spence.”

Spencer nodded gracefully. “All right. What would you like to know? I'll tell you the truth.”

“What's wrong with Nat?” Terence asked.

Spencer narrowed his eyes. “What exactly are you asking?”

Only then did Terence realize that he did not make himself clear. He fixed his gaze on the other man. “Her health. I want to know what happened to her health. How did it end up like this?”

She looks emaciated. Unhealthily so.

Spencer's gaze shifted subtly as he guessed what the question might be. After a moment of thought, he said, “I understand that you're worried about seeing her like this. As for the specifics, I believe she will explain everything to you later. All I can tell you now is that she is physically fine, and there is nothing wrong with her.”

“But how could there be nothing wrong—”

“I'm talking about now,” interrupted Spencer.

Terence looked at him, his gaze direct and unwavering.

Spencer moistened his lips before continuing, “She did have some health issues before, Old Mr. Watson, but they have all been resolved. She may look a little thin at the moment, but as long as she eats normally, she will quickly be right as rain again. You needn't to worry.”

Though there were thousands of questions racing through his mind, Terence was ultimately satisfied with Spencer's final answer.

Though he was curious about the process, it was the outcome that truly mattered.

All that matters is my dear Nat being in good health.

Terence let out a sigh of relief at that thought, nodding repeatedly and saying, “All right. As long as she's fine.”

There was a moment when Spencer caught a hint of panic and fear in the old man's eyes. He knew that the latter would undoubtedly overthink without understanding the situation.

Pursing his lips together, he said, “Rest assured, Old Mr. Watson, I'm telling the truth. I would never lie to you.”

Terence looked at him. After hesitating for a long time, he nodding at last.

“As long as she eats well, you'll definitely see a healthy Arissa in a month.”

“Excellent!” Terence said.

“Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll go take a look outside,” said Spencer.

Terence looked at him. “Go on. Dinner has been prepared. Have something to eat and rest early tonight!”

Spencer nodded. “I'll go out, then.”

Terence nodded, and only then did Spencer turn around and head outside, where Thalia was keeping Arissa company.

She did not provide any words of comfort. Instead, she merely remained by her friend's side quietly.

She knew that Arissa understood everything and did not require any consolation. What she needed at the moment was some quiet time.

As she was deep in thought, she saw Spencer emerging. Thalia went to him at once.

“What did Old Mr. Watson ask you?” Thalia asked in a hushed voice.

“What else could it be...” Spencer sighed as he looked over at Arissa's direction. “He's worried about the person he cares about the most, of course.”

At that mention, Thalia seemed to have understood something. She nodded thoughtfully.

Spencer looked toward Arissa and walked over to her. When he arrived beside her, he began, “You know, I understand that you're feeling guilty and probably blaming yourself right now. Don't say I didn't warn you, but there are people who are worried about you seeing you like this.”

At the mention, Arissa looked up at him.

Spencer returned her gaze wordlessly, but Arissa understood from just one glance.

After a long while, she nodded. “What did you tell him?”

“I offered some comforting words without resorting to lying outright,” said Spencer.

Arissa nodded. “Thank you.”

“No need.”

Arissa took a deep breath, composed herself, and gazed at the three children standing nearby. “What are you three still standing here for? Shouldn't you hurry back to your rooms and tidy up, maybe freshen up a little?”

Upon hearing that, the children hastily nodded in agreement.

“We'll put our things away.”

Arissa nodded. “Dan mentioned that food has been prepared in the kitchen. We can head over in a while.”

The children nodded, then left.

After that, Arissa turned her gaze to Spencer and Thalia. “You two shouldn't bother finding another place to stay. Just stay here. It's no trouble, very convenient, and there might be other things that will require your assistance!”

As they watched Arissa quickly get things organized, Spencer and Thalia exchanged a glance. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The difference between the past and the present was indeed significant.

However, Spencer greatly admired her.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he studied Arissa. “All right, then. I won't hold back.”

“There's no need to.” As she spoke, she turned to look at the figure behind her. “Prepare a room and take these two to rest.”

Upon receiving the order, the figure behind stepped forward briskly and beckoned Spencer and Thalia.

Spencer rose to his feet, his gaze settling on Arissa. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. At last, he nodded. “That's the Arissa I know.”

Then, he looked away and head outside alongside Thalia.
