Chapter 1027 Thank You Nat
Upon hearing Natasha's words, Anthony finally nodded. "I see."
"So, there's no need for you to fear that I'll find out, nor worry that I'll be concerned. If Kyle really wants to harm you, he'll be making an enemy of me even if you hide it from me," Natasha said.
"If they have the guts, they should wait for your father to wake up and confront him directly, one-on-one or even two-against-one. But if they dare to exact revenge on you, I won't allow it." Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was incredibly firm and assertive.
At that moment, Natasha seemed to glow radiantly.
Anthony and Benjamin looked at her, their eyes filled with emotion.
A moment later, Anthony regained his composure, looked at her, and said with a smile, "I understand, Nat. Don't worry. We know what to do."
Natasha glanced at him before retracting her gaze. "Fine, as long as you know what you're doing."
At that moment, Anthony hesitated, then walked toward her. "Nat, we didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I know," Natasha said nonchalantly, running her fingers through her long hair.
After some thought, Anthony spoke. "Thalia told Kyle about my relationship with Dad. Although he was a bit shocked when he found out, he accepted it. It's clear that he still really likes me and Benjamin."
"Is that so?" Natasha asked.
Anthony nodded, "Yes."
"What about Holden? Has he accepted it?" Natasha asked.
The mention of Holden gave Anthony pause. "He still doesn't know about it."
"What will you do if he finds out? I find it hard to believe that he will react the same way as Kyle, who was just shocked and nothing more. When the time comes, Kyle will inevitably have to make a choice. What will you do then?" Natasha asked.
The question Natasha asked was the same one that had been keeping Anthony awake the past few nights.
At that moment, Natasha looked at him, "Anthony, I'm not asking you to completely cut ties with Darknetz, but you need to understand, even if your father's issues have nothing to do with you, this matter won't be resolved so easily due to your relationship with him," Natasha said to him.
She seldom preached to them, but when necessary, Natasha would say what needed to be said.
That was the least a mother could do.
Anthony looked at her. "Mr. Dave has also told me these things, Nat. I understand them well."
Anthony was a person with a clear mind. Since he had acknowledged her words and Natasha didn't want to pressure him, she nodded. "Alright, all that matters is that you understand this."
Anthony's eyes slightly narrowed. "Nat, didn't you just ask what Benjamin and I were doing?"
Natasha turned her gaze toward him.
Anthony then said, "We were looking for a scar on Daddy's body."
"Scar?"
"Yes," Anthony said, then proceeded to share with Natasha all the things he suspected.
"In any case, I feel that there are many things that don't make sense, but there's currently no evidence to support my suspicions. The only potential proof would be the scar on Daddy's body. If it exists, it would mean that he was the one who killed Holden's girlfriend back then. But if there's no scar... then there must be another conspiracy at play."
Listening to Anthony's words, Natasha's eyes slightly narrowed, "Are you sure?"
Anthony nodded. "Kyle said it. So, I'm very sure.”
At that moment, Natasha looked at him, "In that case, you can rest easy."
"Hmm?"
"Your father does have quite a few scars and wounds but none at the place you mentioned," Natasha said, enunciating each word.
Upon hearing that, Anthony's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?" Natasha asked.
Upon hearing that, Anthony was overjoyed. He turned to look at Benjamin, his eyes filled with delight. "That's right. Nat has never lied to us."
Benjamin immediately walked over and asked, "Nat, can we take a look?"
Anthony immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing the question.
"Sure, why not?" Natasha said, then immediately stood up and walked toward Kenneth.
Sitting by the bed, she carefully lifted Kenneth's shoulder slightly, then gently turned him onto his side.
After staring at his back, Natasha withdrew her gaze and turned to the two little ones. "Didn't you want to see? Go ahead."
In response, Anthony and Benjamin immediately moved closer.
"Be careful," Natasha reminded.
"Got it," Anthony responded. He then carefully lifted Kenneth's clothes from the back. Upon seeing the smooth, unblemished skin on the right side of his back, Anthony exchanged a glance with Benjamin. There was an indescribable elation in his eyes.
Even in their joy, they carefully folded back Kenneth's clothes before gently laying him down.
Turning around, they saw Natasha standing behind them. "So?"
"Nat... It isn't Daddy. It isn't!" Anthony looked at her, his eyes filled with indescribable excitement.
Natasha looked at him, aware that the matter held extraordinary significance for Anthony. She asked, "So, what's next?"
"I will get to the bottom of these matters sooner or later. I will definitely clear Daddy's name," Anthony declared.
When Natasha heard those words, a rare smile of relief appeared on her face. Looking at Anthony, she said, "Anthony, you've matured."
Anthony looked at her. "So, Nat, don't worry. I'm all grown up now. I can take care of myself going forward. Moreover, I will also protect you, Daddy, Great-grandpa, and Gramps."
Listening to his words, Natasha felt both comforted and heartbroken.
Looking at him, she said. "Anthony, we all have the ability to take care of and protect ourselves. You don't need to shoulder all these responsibilities alone. You have a long life ahead of you, so you should do what you want to do. Enjoy and experience everything in life. No matter what your final choice is or what you do, I will support you unconditionally."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Benjamin. "Benjamin, this applies to you as well. These words apply to all three of you. I don't expect you to achieve great things or make a name for yourselves when you grow up. All that matters to me is that you're healthy and safe. As for what you want to do, you can move forward, or choose not to. I won't blame or restrict you, as long as you don't regret your choice." Listening to her words, both Anthony and Benjamin nodded in agreement.
"Understood, Nat," Anthony said.
At that moment, Benjamin spoke. "Nat, aren't you afraid that we might actually end up doing nothing after what you've said?"
"Aren't the savings you two have enough for you to do nothing for many lifetimes over?" Natasha retorted.
Her words caused the two little ones exchanged a glance.
"So, what's the big deal about doing nothing when you have such financial means?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
She, on the other hand, was quite open-minded about these things.
In a person's lifetime, they experience all kinds of events, including bitterness and joy. No one ever decided that one must always strive hard and struggle. In fact, peace and simplicity are also ways of life. No sooner had she finished than Anthony went straight up to her and embraced her.
Even though his height didn't even reach Natasha's waist, he held onto her as he murmured, "Nat, thank you.”
