It was a rare situation indeed to have to speak in hushed tones like a thief in one’s own home.
"How is the situation right now?"
Not wasting time, Lily got straight to the point.
"Do you know that Rhea is dead?"
The smile on Anastasia’s face froze, and she nodded.
"I heard."
"How did your father react to it?"
"He was very agitated when he returned that day.He locked himself in the room and didn’t let anyone in.All | could hear was things
being smashed inside. Then..."

She cringed slightly, unnerved by what happened that day.
"Then...the servants went in to clean up the mess, but after my father vented his anger, he was a lot calmer, and there was
nothing off about him."
"Besides smashing things, did he do anything else?"
Lily pondered it and questioned, "From what you said, Rhea is using drugs to control your father.Now that she’s dead and can’t
control him anymore through drugs, has your father becnormal, even a little bit?"
After giving it sthought, Anastasia shook her head.
"No! He's the sas before, yet there's nothing unusual about him."
"What about the way he treated you? You said he tried to lock you up and not let you contact anyone before this..."
"He has yet to return my phone, and he’s still not lettingout.However, he doesn’t watchas closely as before.If there's
anything different, | think..."
She paused with a frown, seemingly unsure.
"What is it?" Alexander asked.
Throwing him a glance, Anastasia thought it over and said hesitantly, "I think his response has becslow."
"Slow response?"
Lily was surprised by it and asked, "In what way?"
"For example, when | talked to him, he would sometimes act as if he hadn't heard it and only askwhat | said after a while.He
would also repeat what he said to the servants five minutes later as if he had forgotten about it. There were many other minor
incidents. Initially, | believed he was too tired, but later, | sensed that he was simply not thinking clearly."
Pointing at her temple, Anastasia looked worried.
"Lily, has my cousin’s drug damaged his brain? | saw something like this in a movie.After a person’s mind is controlled, he loses his
consciousness and slowly becomes a puppet.However, Rhea is dead, and no one could control him.
"Isn't my father supposed to return to normal? How is he instead becoming increasingly abnormal? Is my father going to beca
human puppet?"

She was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Although Cameron was fierce toward her, she knew he was controlled by someone else and had not acted so on purpose.She had
been thinking of ways to make him normal again, but his condition was tricky.
Not only had she never seen anything like it before, she had not heard about it either.
"Stay calm.I’'m sure we can cup with a solution."
Lily consoled her gently and tried to take Anastasia’s wrist pulse.
"Your pulse has been unstable lately.You haven't had your meals regularly, and your body-"
"I'm fine!"
Anastasia withdrew her hand, unconcerned with her health at the moment.
"Lily, save my father first!"
Unable to take her wrist pulse, Lily sighed.
"Okay.Although you're in bad shape lately, it’s not that serious. think we should meet your father first," she said as she rose.
