Alarmed, Anastasia lunged over to grab his phone. “Stop meddling in my family’s affairs!”“You can’t stop me! I’m in charge now that your father isn’t conscious.” Fabian tried to dodge, and the two grappled with each other.“Tasia, let him make the call!” Alexander suddenly shouted, stopping the two.Taken aback, they looked toward him. It baffled Anastasia, and she said, “B-But…”“What do you mean?” Fabian raised his guard and looked at Alexander with a frown. Fabian distrusted Alexander, and what he said disconcerted him.The project was most important to Fabian, and he had to ensure everything went as planned to rake in money when they launched the vaccine worldwide. With his assets multiplying several times by then, he would no longer need to be afraid of Cameron or worry about the future of his company.Therefore, what he feared most was that the project would encounter issues. He also feared that once Cameron was around, Cameron could take him off the project, and there wou
After achieving so much, what Fabian feared most was Cameron’s downfall and no one to back him up again. Fabian was at the end of his rope before securing the project, and turning the tides was challenging.He was able to turn his business around because of the project, and people started seeing him differently, knowing that Cameron was partial to him. Therefore, it was not just about the significant profit the project could bring but also its meaning.However, if Cameron no longer held his position, Fabian knew what would happen to his business because others would no longer bother with him.Therefore, he was agreeable when Anastasia told him not to inform outsiders about the situation. However, seeing Alexander there, he could not help but wonder if they were ganging up to scheme against him. “Why should I trust you?” Fabian mustered his courage and glared at Alexander defiantly. Then he once again held up his phone. “I’m going to make the call anyway, and the doctor will tell m
Fabian softened his tone when speaking to Anastasia this time.Anastasia responded coldly, “Don’t you know what kind of people these so-called famous doctors are? Besides, don’t forget how I ended up like this. Let’s not bring that up ever again.”The mention of these doctors reminded her of Rhea and how she ended up like this.‘If it weren’t for my cousin, I wouldn’t have needed doctors. Yet Aunt Maria thought she was doing me a favor. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke!’Fabian was stumped and knew he and his wife were in the wrong. He pursed his lips, still not giving up, as he glanced at the corpse-like Cameron and pointed at him. “Fine! You say you believe them and that your father has taken the pill Alexander delivered, but why is he not getting any better?”Anastasia’s eyes followed where Fabian pointed and looked at her father. Although she said nothing, she was anxious. She had waited for too long. Anastasia was about to lose faith if he still could not wake up.
Cameron's cough immediately attracted everyone's attention. Especially Anastia, who rushed forward excitedly and held his shoulder. "Dad? Dad?!"However, Cameron did not speak. To be precise, he could not speak. He was coughing very violently, without a break in between. After a burst of violent cough, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood.His blood immediately covered half of the floor and the bed. It was a shocking sight.Fabian was so astounded by what he saw that he was speechless."Dad, Dad! What's wrong?!" Anastasia cried out anxiously before turning to Alexander. "Mr. Russell, my father…"Her cries quickly brought Fabian back to his senses, and he stepped forward. "How can you still shout for him at this moment? Can't you see what's happening?! It’ll be too late to take your father to the hospital now. Listen to me! Bring him to the hospital! Quick!"With that said, he hurriedly rushed forward and helped Cameron up. He even searched his pocket for his ph
"Tasia, stay by your father's side and don't let anyone touch him. I'll go down and take a look. Once the driver arrives, I'll send him to the private hospital immediately. Don't worry. Your father is my family, too, and I’m just as concerned about his life as you are!“I will see it until the end. Back then, I was there when your mother passed. If something happens to your father today, I’ll be here too!" Fabian patted his chest confidently and shot Alexander a stern look.Anastasia continued sobbing without saying a word or looking at him. Fabian patted her worriedly. "Tasia, did you hear me? This is urgent. You need to snap out of it!"After seeing her father's appearance, she was in a mess and nodded indiscriminately. "I-I know!"Although Fabian was a little uneasy, he still had to go and see the situation downstairs. After hesitating for a while longer, he finally went down.Alexander stood with furrowed brows as he locked his eyes on the two puddles of blood Cameron had spat
Regardless of whether or not those were just words to comfort her, Anastasia felt a lot better.Alexander was right. The last time Lily came, she said Cameron had gotten poisoned and even took out the silver needle Rhea had used to control him in front of Anastasia. Then Lily told Alexander to give Cameron an antidote. If Cameron were unsavable, she would not have done these things.‘Is this genuinely a normal reaction when it comes to expelling toxins? Am I overthinking?’Just as she thought about this, a loud sound came from downstairs. Although Fabian had not entered the door yet, his loud voice preceded him. "Be careful when you carry him later. Watch your heads, and don't fall.“As for what happened today, keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?!" He yelled sharply, with an arrogant look on his face.Then a group of unruly voices sounded. "Got it!"Both Anastasia and Alexander were speechless to hear that.‘Is this what Fabian meant when he said he left to find a few relia
"Cough, cough, cough…"The light cough was nothing compared to the violent ones before this. It sounded like an ordinary cough instead. Still, it was enough to stop Fabian and look toward the sound."Dad?" Anastasia turned her head toward her father's voice as well.She was pleasantly surprised to see that her father, who had been sleeping with his eyes tightly closed, was slowly opening his eyes. Although his brows remained slightly furrowed, and he was still coughing, he was still conscious."Dad?!" She called out again with uncertainty. Although she wanted him to be conscious again, she feared he would still be under Rhea's control and would treat her indifferently, continuing to listen to her uncle.Anastasia was hesitant. She was joyful yet nervous, cautious yet excited.Cameron exhaled and responded softly, "Yes."Although it was just a word, it gave Anastasia life."Daddy!" Anastasia cried out in surprise as she pounced on him, hugging his neck with both arms just as she
Cameron did not have much strength as he weakly raised his eyes. However, his frigid look was enough to shut Fabian up immediately and even made him subconsciously straighten up. Fabian suddenly had a bad feeling in his gut."It must have been hard on you the past few days that I'm down," Cameron said lightly. His tone was lazy and somewhat tired.Fabian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his brother-in-law’s praises. He said smilingly, "It's nothing! It's what I should do! We are a family, after all. Ron, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable? I think we should go to the hospital. Since you're awake now, we can go to the military hospital.“The hospital there is good, and I'm sure their treatment is also on par. It's better to go there than to be a lab rat for these people," he said as he glanced at Alexander pointedly."Did some animals come into the house when I was asleep?" Cameron turned to Anastasia and asked gently after taking a breath.She frowned. "No. Uncle
