Chapter 1823
"The toxin within his body caused that," Alexander said, "He looks no different than an ordinary patient
on the surface, but the harm could be long-lasting."
In other words, Cameron’s body was using up its stored energy, fat, muscles, and blood, and he would
die upon total depletion.
Of course, that was what Lily told Alexander. As she was rushing, Lily seemed to have said whatever
came haphazardly to her mind. Still, Alexander had such a vital comprehension skill that he roughly
understood what she was saying after digesting it.
Although he did know much about herbal medicine, he knew its fundamental principles.
"Then what should we do?” What he said alarmed Anastasia. She could hardly contain her emotions

She was fighting back her tears.
As her mother died early, her father was the one who raised her. Although he had not spent much time
with her, she knew he loved her. Anastasia used to think he was seldom there for her growing up, but
she later realized she could not have her cake and eat it too.
It was difficult for her father to make a living while keeping her company. Besides, he had never
mistreated her besides lack of companionship.
Before she could repay him as a daughter, he had suddenly ended up like this. If anything happened to
him, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"Don’t worry. I came to fix this today." Alexander casually pulled his sleeve off Anastasia's hand and
kept a slight distance away. Besides Lily, he was not used to being physically close to other women.
Even unintentional touches would make him feel uncomfortable.
"Right, right, let's go see my father now!" Anastasia caught herself and repeatedly nodded before
running upstairs to the bedroom.
Alexander followed closely, entered the room, and felt stuffy even with the light on. Anastasia had
drawn the curtains, making the overall tone depressing. The place exuded oppression and a man lying
unconscious on the bed.
Alexander walked over and looked at the once sturdy and fearsome man. He noticed Cameron's
cheeks were sunken with his eyes closed and brow furrowed, while his breathing was labored and fast.
"Alex..." Anastasia gave him a worried look over her shoulder.
"Help your father take this pill," Alexander said, taking out a small box. He opened it and revealed three
brown pills lying inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Okay!" Anastasia readily took the box. "Just one pill or three
pills all in one go?"
"Just one. The pills are for three days. Your father should take one each day." Alexander only told
Anastasia what Lily had told him.
Anastasia nodded and took a pill before sitting by the bed. She suddenly thought of something as she
leaned forward and looked over as if encountering a problem. "But my father couldn't eat anything. I've
tried feeding him porridge, but I couldn't make him swallow."
She even considered putting him on an IV drip lest his body suffer. She pondered, then turned around
and tried to feed him the pill. Anastasia pinched her father's cheeks to open his mouth wider, then tried
to insert the pill.
However, she could not make him swallow it, no matter how hard she tried.
