Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 900

Spencer was taken aback by the sight of Anthony's tear-filled eyes.

Ever since I got to know Anthony, he has always carried himself like a little adult. He's been brave, strategic, smart, and quick-witted. No matter how difficult the situation, I've never seen him frown, but now...

At this moment, Anthony simply resembled a child, mirroring the worry and fear of someone about to lose their dearest person.

A sense of bitterness welled up within Spencer's heart.

He also felt a twinge of shame for his selfishness, all for the sake of that one pill.

Taking a deep breath, Spencer averted his gaze.

Tears gathered in Anthony's eyes as he gazed at Spencer, his emotions hard to rein in. “All I want is an answer,” he said. “Will Nat ever get better?”

“I don't know,” Spencer responded, his eyes meeting Anthony's. “I really don't.”

“Aren't you known as a miracle doctor? Your skills are renowned. Can't you cure any kind of poison? Why can't you give me a clear answer?” Anthony's voice was filled with anxiety and desperation.

Spencer raised his gaze to meet Anthony's, his eyes reflecting the bitterness and sorrow he felt. “I've never thought of myself in such high terms; those are words spoken by others...”

“So, are you refuting that now? Are you giving up?”

“No!” Spencer locked his gaze onto Anthony's, his expression determined. “I haven't given up, and I won't! My life is dedicated to Nat. As long as she's not well, I won't rest. If anything were to happen to her... I'm prepared to sacrifice my own life!” He spoke with unwavering determination.

As the words reached his ears, Anthony's initial anger began to subside, replaced by a furrowed brow and confusion.

He couldn't quite comprehend why Spencer would express his dedication in such an extreme manner. Even if the man was close friends with Natasha, such a statement seemed excessively intense...

The more he thought about it, the more Anthony felt that these words were ambiguous. No matter how close friends they were, it seemed a bit too much for Spencer to go to such lengths.

Anthony furrowed his brows as he gazed at the man. “Spencer, you...”

Spencer was still lost in his own thoughts, a sense of helpless agony weighing him down. Sensing Anthony's gaze, he paused for a moment before asking, “What about me?”

After a moment of contemplation, Anthony drew in a deep breath. He hesitated for a while, his lips pursing before he finally spoke, “Spencer, do you... like Nat?”

Spencer was stunned.

As he gazed at Anthony, it took him a moment to fully comprehend the boy's words.

In that instant, Anthony fixed his gaze on Spencer and said, “Spencer, I appreciate how much you care about Nat, but... what about Thalia? How does she fit into this?”

The abrupt shift in the conversation caught Spencer off guard. He squinted his eyes and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“Isn't that so?” Anthony asked.

“Did I say something that gave you the wrong idea?” Spencer responded.

“Didn't you mention that you would give your life if anything happened to Nat?”

In response, Spencer spoke. “I meant that I'm willing to give everything I have, my dedication, my efforts, to save her. I owe her that much, and I won't give up until she's better, even if it means dedicating my entire life to it!”

Upon hearing this, Anthony finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this clarification, he didn't have much to worry about. However, a tinge of melancholy still lingered in his heart. “But can Natasha's body endure that wait?” he asked, his gaze fixed on Spencer.
