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

Chapter 943 Differences In Personality

Seeing Benjamin clearly upset and scared yet still pretending to be strong, Natasha felt her heart aching.

At that moment, she slowly raised her hand and gently wiped his cheek.

“You know what? You actually look pretty good when you cry,” Natasha teased as she looked at her son.

Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Nat...”

Natasha laughed lightly, leaning halfway on the bed, watching him as she slowly began to speak. “Out of the three of you, you resemble me the most. Our personalities are similar, and even our eyes are alike. I've never known what I look like when I cry, but I found out just now.”

“Nat, you're still in the mood for jokes,” Benjamin said to her.

“Of course. As long as all of you are with me, I can always make a joke,” said Natasha.

Benjamin looked at her, his dark eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and caution.

“Nat, what's really going on with your health?” Benjamin asked, looking at her.

Natasha pondered for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh. “I knew I couldn't keep it from you for long. Since you want to know, I'll tell you.”

Benjamin remained silent, simply gazing at her.

“But before I speak, I have a small request,” Natasha said, looking at him.

“What?” Benjamin asked.

“No matter what happens in the future, you must face it with optimism. Even if you encounter something very sad, you can only be upset for a short while, okay?” Natasha asked.

Benjamin stared at her blankly. Her words caused the uneasy premonition in his heart to intensify. “Nat...”

“Benjamin, Tony may seem calm, but in reality, he tends to act impulsively when faced with issues, especially if those issues concern me. As for Denise, she's a young girl by nature. With you two ahead of her, she's become accustomed to relying on others. Therefore, Benjamin, among the three of you, you are the most composed and the calmest. So, no matter what happens in the future, it's up to you to keep them composed. Do you understand?”

Tears fell directly from Benjamin's eyes as he looked at Natasha. He stepped forward and grabbed her clothes. “Nat, what's really going on with you? Why are you talking like this? I don't want to hear any of this...”

Seeing Benjamin genuinely scared, Natasha extended her hand and placed it on his, “Benjamin, you've always been the bravest. I haven't even said anything yet, so why are you so nervous?”

“I don't want to hear any of this...” Benjamin looked at her. “Nat, what's really going on with you?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Natasha looked at him, curving her lips into a smile. “It's nothing, just a minor hiccup with my health.”

“What hiccup?”

“I accidentally got poisoned.” Natasha raised an eyebrow.

“Poisoned?” Upon hearing that, Benjamin was instantly stunned. His long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly as if he couldn't bring himself to believe her.

“It's just a minor issue.” Natasha casually brushed it off.

Benjamin pondered for a moment. This word should be unfamiliar to me, but why does it seem like I've heard it somewhere recently? That's right! Thalia! Thalia was poisoned before. I know about that. But recently, Thalia seems fine already.

At that thought, he turned to Natasha. “I-Is it the same as Thalia?”

After some thought, Natasha nodded and said, “Yes, you could say that!”

“But wasn't Thalia also poisoned before, and even before you did? She seems to be fine now, so why does your condition appear to be so severe?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her gorgeous face. “Thalia seems fine now because she has recovered.”

“She recovered?”

Natasha nodded.

“Has the poison been neutralized?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha nodded. “That's right.”

“So, does that mean it can be neutralized?” Benjamin's eyes lit up with hope as he looked at Natasha.

Watching him transform from his previous state of fear and worry, Natasha felt discomfort in her heart. She nodded slightly. “Yes, that's right.”

“Did Spencer cure her?” Benjamin asked. “Why hasn't he cured you yet, then?”

Seeing Natasha become so weak, Benjamin was truly heartbroken.

Natasha looked at him. Benjamin was indeed more mature than she had imagined. Thinking of that, she felt a bit relieved in her heart.

“Perhaps he's still missing one ingredient,” Natasha said lightly.

As long as her three children weren't too heartbroken, she could rest assured.

Even if she ultimately couldn't find the antidote, she was willing to accept it.

However, Benjamin looked up at her with his eyebrows furrowed. “What do you mean? Missing an ingredient? Does that mean he can't cure it?”

“If we can't gather all the ingredients, we won't be able to make the antidote, so, of course, my condition can't be cured!” Natasha said with a laugh.

“So why was it possible for Thalia but not for you?” Benjamin asked.

Natasha pursed her lips, looking at Benjamin, wondering how she should respond.

“I'll go ask him!” With that, Benjamin stood up, ready to find Spencer.

“Benjamin!” He had just turned around when Natasha suddenly called out to stop him.

Benjamin turned around, his gaze fixed on Natasha.

At that moment, Natasha let out a soft sigh. “You don't need to ask him. I'll tell you...”

Benjamin looked at her, his eyebrows furrowing.

“Sit.” Natasha gestured for him to sit down.

Upon hearing that, Benjamin had no choice but to reluctantly sit back down.

Natasha had underestimated Benjamin's inquisitiveness. Before, he seemed indifferent to everything, appearing absent-minded as if nothing really mattered to him. No matter what, he only cared about the outcome.

Who would have thought that today...

Natasha felt that she understood them, but sometimes, she didn't quite understand them as much.

However, looking at Benjamin, Natasha hesitated for a moment but still truthfully conveyed the matter.

Benjamin sat in front of her, listening to her words with his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his dark pupils revealing an indescribable complexity.

After finishing her explanation, Natasha looked at him. “That's how it is.”

Benjamin fell silent.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Even though he had guessed some things, compared to what Natasha said, he suddenly felt that he had overlooked too many things.

The sheer volume of information was overwhelming, making it difficult for him to accept and process it all at once.

He just sat there, dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.

At that moment, Natasha looked at him. “Denise told me you had an argument with Anthony a few days ago. I guess it must be because of this matter.”

Benjamin lifted his gaze, looking at her once again.

Natasha was also looking at him. “I guess Anthony is hiding it from you because he doesn't want you to feel as sad as he does after knowing.” As she said that, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

At that moment, all of Benjamin's doubts were completely cleared.

Benjamin lowered his gaze, tears falling directly down. He didn't want Natasha to see, so he turned his face away. “I need to use the restroom,” he said. With that, he got up and quickly walked toward the restroom.
