Cameron's Adam's apple bobbed up and down—he managed to swallow the pill. Anastasia heaved a massive sigh of relief when
she saw that. “My father swallowed it!”
“Water!” Alexander was still holding Cameron's head as he reached his free hand toward her.
Anastasia caught herself and hastily handed Alexander a glass of water. Then he quickly fed sto Cameron. Although some
water spilled from the corners of Cameron's mouth, Alexander had at least made him drink sof it.
Anastasia becso moved when she watched her father swallow the pill that she nearly burst into tears. They had at least made
him swallow the pill. All they could do now was wait.
“When will my father wake up?” she asked despite herself.

Alexander shook his head. “I have no idea.”
Lily did not tell Alexander how long it would take for Cameron to wake up after ingesting the pill. All she said was to observe his
reaction. After all, it was an unusual toxin, and she could not be there to see its real-teffects.
As they fell into silence, a ding cfrom outside the door. Anastasia could hear Fabian’s voice, and the servant tried to stop him.
“Mr. Moore, you can’t go in. You...” The servant sounded anxious. “Miss Rollins? Miss Rollins”
Anastasia exchanged looks with Alexander and took a deep breath before opening the door. Then Fabian happened to rush over
and nearly collided with her.
Fortunately, he stopped just in time. He curled his lips into a grin when he saw his niece. “Tasia, your servants are becoming
increasingly unruly!”
“Uncle Fabian, didn’t | tell you not to disturb my father? Don’t you know the situation we're facing now?” Anastasia acted calm and
spoke unemotionally.
“Of course | do! That's why I'm anxious!” Fabian clapped and shouted, “It's been days, and there's still no sign of your father
waking up! Do you know the kind of rumors circulating outside? We're running out of time! | think it's better if we send your father
to the hospital...”
He tried entering the room as he spoke, seemingly planning to take Cameron away by force.
“Uncle Fabian!” Anastasia extended her arm to stop him and said solemnly, “I told you we couldn't send my father to the hospital
due to his position. You're just going to worsen things!”
“What the hell are you talking about? How am | making things worse? I'm your uncle, okay?” Fabian grew upset and tried to push
her aside. “Even if we can’t send him to a public hospital, how about a private one?

“l know many doctors, and | can get a trustworthy one to check on your father. It beats doing nothing and allowing the gossip to
spread further!”
However, as Anastasia was sturdier, he failed to make her budge. She would have gotten shoved aside if she were small-sized like
other girls.
Standing akimbo, Anastasia was somewhat upset. “Uncle Fabian! That's my father. Do you think | don’t wish he'll get better soon?
Just listen tofor my father's and everyone's sake!”
Fabian saw her angry expression and was stunned. He hesitated momentarily but could hardly stand it anymore. After staying
hfor two days, he had to deal with several people who enquired about Cameron at the vaccine development center.
He felt restless while his wife was bedridden from sorrow due to losing her daughter.
