Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1044

“Was that the only reason?” Kyle asked.

“If not?” Spencer retorted, then chuckled softly. “I'm not sure if you all know the whole story between Thalia and me or only know that she'd been looking for me for many years. I knew her long before any of you did.”

Hearing that, Kyle was slightly taken aback. He turned his gaze to Thalia.

At that moment, Thalia divulged, “It was him who brought me out of that hellish place back then. He was also the one who treated my wounds and took care of me for a long time.”

Kyle was promptly at a loss for words.

Undeniably, they didn't know that.

Looking at Thalia, he suddenly felt that he had been a bit too impertinent.

When Spencer glimpsed Kyle's clueless expression right then, the discomfort within him just now finally dissipated slightly.

“During the time when Thalia was looking for me, I always knew where she was and who she was working for.” While saying that, Spencer suddenly recalled something. He looked at the man and asked, “By the way, do you remember the mission you guys had in Alendor three years ago?”

Speaking of which, Kyle narrowed his eyes a fraction. “What are you trying to say?”

“At that time, a plague broke out there. Your members were greatly affected, but they were cured quickly afterward. Haven't you ever wondered about it?” Spencer asked, his eyes still fixed on the man.

Kyle was silent for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, Thalia cut her eyes at Spencer. “How did you know about that?”

“Because I was there at that time,” Spencer enunciate, holding her gaze.

Thalia was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to register the meaning of it. “So... it was you who cured us?”

Spencer didn't deny it. “Since then, all my friends knew about it. If they encounter someone from Darknetz, they would be the first to rescue the person.” As he spoke, he looked at Thalia, “I asked them to do this, fearing that something might happen to you.”

Thalia looked at him, words eluding her for a long time. “Why have you never told me about this?”

“There's nothing much to say. As long as you're well, none of this matters.”

“How silly. Have you ever considered that we wouldn't announce our identities when on a mission? How would your friends recognize us?” Thalia asked.

Just then, Spencer suddenly traced a tattoo on her arm.

The tiny pattern resembling a symbol was so subtle that it was impossible to discern without looking carefully.

He didn't say anything, but Thalia understood instantly.

So, he knew that I'd been looking for him all these years. Therefore, he has also been keeping an eye on me all along...

Staring at him, Thalia abruptly fell silent.

She wanted to say something, but the words on the tip of her tongue got stuck in her throat.

Spencer looked at Thalia, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. “I knew all along. I've always known.”

“You knew, yet you still avoided me. You really have a heart of stone, Spencer!” Thalia scowled at him, both vexed and touched inwardly.

If he hadn't said all this today, I probably wouldn't have known about it in my lifetime.

“Also, just how many secrets are you still keeping from me?” Thalia demanded, staring him in the eye.

“That should be all for now.”

Looking at him, Thalia turned things over in her mind repeatedly. Ultimately, she forcibly suppressed the impulse within her.

I'll talk about this with him further when we get back tonight!

Throughout it all, Kyle observed them. From Spencer's gaze to his words and actions, it was clear that his feelings for Thalia were genuine.

Even though he didn't know what exactly transpired between them, he could tell that Spencer was not the one who sacrificed less in the relationship.

Following thought, he feigned a cough.

Consequently, the couple retracted their gazes on each other and turned their eyes to him.

Nonchalant, he met their gazes. “Indeed, several Doctors Without Borders saved our members when they were in danger a few times during missions. Someone even asked them if they were from Darknetz. We didn't understand what was going on previously, but now, we know.”
