Chapter 1085 Growing Stronger To Protect Them
Dan shook his head and asked, “No, ever since Ms. Watson joined the company, things have been much quieter on Zachary's end. There's been a significant decrease in his petty antics!”
Upon hearing these words, a cold smirk crept onto the corners of Liam's mouth. He then swallowed a sleeping pill and said, “He won't stay quiet for long. Be vigilant and report any issues immediately.”
“Okay,” Dan responded.
“All right, if there's nothing else, go and rest!”
“You should really cut down on those pills,” Dan advised, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at him.
Liam looked at him. “How can I sleep if I don't eat them? And even if I have them, there's no guarantee I'll be able to sleep.”
Dan's heart ached for him as he watched.
“All right, I get it. Go get some rest,” said Liam.
Only then did Dan reluctantly nod, watching as Liam lay down before he finally turned off the light and left the room.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
After a day and a night, the airplane finally landed.
Anthony and Thalia stepped out of the airport, and by then, a car was already waiting for them at the entrance.
After getting in the car, Thalia glanced casually at Anthony. “Where are we going?”
Anthony gazed out the window. He should have felt pleasant since it was good weather that morning. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Anthony found himself feeling distinctly uncomfortable.
After a day and night on the airplane, all he wanted now was to take a bath and change his clothes.
With that thought, he averted his gaze. “Let's find a hotel first, I want to take a shower and change my clothes,” Anthony said.
Upon hearing that, Thalia unexpectedly raised an eyebrow. “I thought you would have eagerly rushed over.”
“It's been so long, a day or two more won't make a difference,” Anthony said.
“Okay.” Thalia nodded, then instructed the driver to drive them to a hotel.
“Not to mention, it's been a long time since I last visited. The weather here is quite pleasant at this time,” Thalia said.
“Have you been here before?” Anthony asked.
“Shouldn't you be asking me where I haven't been?” Thalia retorted.
After some thought, Anthony realized that it was indeed redundant to ask Thalia, a person who traveled the world completing tasks, such questions.
Nodding his head, Anthony asked, “How does it feel to be back here again?”
“Hmm... When I came here previously, I wasn't interested in anything. I was just here for the mission. But now, looking at this place, I find it much more beautiful!” Thalia said.
Upon hearing this, Anthony turned to look at her, his gaze indescribably complex.
“What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Thalia asked in response.
“Once you start to appreciate, it means something's on your mind. This is a big taboo in our line of work, to be more accurate, it's your big taboo!” Anthony said.
Speaking of which, Thalia laughed. “Why. Are you worried about me?”
“However, I've always disagreed. In our line of work, it's not necessary to be cold and ruthless. At least, I can't be. The reason I strive to become stronger is to protect them,” Anthony murmured.
Thalia nodded. “Hmm, I agree.”
“It's just that when you're on the front lines, with someone in your heart, you're bound to have worries. Thalia, you must be careful.” It was rare for Anthony to speak to her so solemnly.
Thalia chuckled lightly. “Don't worry, it's not been just a day or two since someone has occupied my heart.”
“But you only found out recently that you also occupy a special place in that person's heart. It's not the same anymore,” Anthony said.
Thalia looked at Anthony, his gaze filled with a hint of surprise.
Sometimes, when speaking to a child about these matters, there was always a fear of misleading them. However, when she was conversing with Anthony, she didn't feel like she was talking to a child at all. Instead, it felt as if she was having a conversation with an adult.
After a long while, Thalia nodded. “You're right,” she said. “So, whatever the outcome, I will accept it.”
Upon hearing that, Anthony looked at her. “Have you considered giving up?”
Thalia decisively shook her head. “During my hardest times, it was Kyle and Holden who helped me, leading me to where I am today. I can't abandon them now when I have everything. That's not in my nature. We should stick through thick and thin together since we're friends.”
Upon hearing this, Anthony looked at her. “What about Spencer?”
“He didn't say it, but I believe he will understand!”
“What if he doesn't?”
“If he doesn't understand, I'll find a way to make him understand!” said Thalia.
Upon hearing this, Anthony retorted, “I thought you had a better solution than this!”
“What other options could there be? However, we haven't discussed this matter yet!”
“Back when you were poisoned and nearly met your end, Spencer was so anxious. You'll be living on the edge from now on, who knows what will happen to him!”
Speaking of which, Thalia also recalled the past events. At that time, she didn't feel much, but now when she thought about it, it was all Spencer's love for her.
Upon that thought, she couldn't help but let a smile creep up at the corner of her mouth.
“Oh right, I haven't told him I've arrived yet!” With that, she immediately pulled out her phone to text.
Upon seeing this, Anthony immediately rolled his eyes at her.
“What are you rolling your eyes at? Aren't you reporting to Nat?” Thalia said, her head bowed as she typed.
Speaking of which, Anthony also pulled out his phone. “Can they possibly be the same?”
“They are all the people we miss the most, what could possibly be different?” Thalia murmured.
Anthony didn't say anything further. He pulled out his phone to send a message to Natasha, but then he thought about how it was nighttime where she was. Fearing that his message might disturb her, he eventually decided against it and put away his phone.
“You're done so quickly?” Thalia asked. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“It's the middle of the night over there, Nat has already gone to sleep,” Anthony said.
Thalia paused for a moment, subconsciously glancing at her phone. At that moment, Spencer was still replying to her messages. It was then that she realized, Spencer had been waiting for her messages all along.
Without saying anything further, she continued to text with her head lowered.
Anthony's gaze was constantly fixed on the window, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He wasn't sure if this visit would yield anything, but at the moment, he was focused on Glenport City and the Hamilton family.
I wonder how things are at home now...
And so, the car drove down the road.
About half an hour later, the car came to a halt in front of a hotel.
When they got out of the car, Thalia had just finished putting away her phone.
At that moment, Anthony was looking at his phone, then he glanced around his surroundings.
“What's wrong? What are you looking at?” Thalia asked.
Anthony glanced at her. “We're only a kilometer or two away from that address. Are we this close?”
“Let's not waste time since we're already here. It's better to stay close,” Thalia said.
Anthony pursed his lips. “In that case, Let's take a bath, change our clothes, and rest a bit. We'll head straight over tonight.”
“Why night?” Thalia asked.
“Because that person always logs in at night, they must certainly be there at night,” Anthony stated with absolute certainty.
Upon hearing that, Thalia's eyebrows lifted slightly. She looked at Anthony, who seemed unprepared. Who would have thought he had noticed all these details?
However, that was just the way he was.
With that thought in mind, she gave him a look and said, “Let's go then, head back and rest first, have something to eat and wait for nightfall.”
Having said that, the two individuals proceeded into the hotel.
