Anastasia on the sofa, asking, “I’m not disturbing you guys, am I?"
Alexander shook his head. They were only waiting for news anyway. However, it was strange that he
had not received helpful information from his local and foreign networks.
“What would like you like to drink?” Alexander asked, then added, “Fruit juice, cola, or—"
“Just plain water,” Anastasia said with a smile.
Surprised, Alexander nodded and told a maid to serve two glasses of purified water.
‘She seems different than before. She used to be plump and was proud yet insecure. Sometimes, she

Alexander only had a vague impression as he did not have much direct contact with her. He only
occasionally heard about Cameron expressing his regret for not spending much time with his daughter.
However, Anastasia became close to Lily. After Lily helped neutralize the toxin inside Anastasia, she
lost a lot of weight. Now, she was confident and a bit slimmer.
Alexander thought Lily would be proud to see the changes in Anastasia.
“Alex? Alex?” She called him twice before he returned to his . “What were you thinking about?”
“I just feel you've changed a lot. Lily would be thrilled if she saw you,” he said.
Anastasia grew worried at the mention of Lily. “My dad told me what happened to Lily. I’m sure she'll be
okay.”
Alexander had not told Anastasia everything that had happened, but she seemed to have found out
about it now.
Since Cameron had told her, Alexander thought he should no longer keep things from Anastasia.
He nodded and sighed, “I hope so too.”
“Oh, I came to tell you some good news.” Turning around,
Anastasia took a photo from her purse and handed it to

He took it curiously. It was a photo of a foreign man with sharp facial features. He had a gentle face
and a faint smile, but his gaze looked sad. The man looked about the same age as Alexander as he
carried a child.
Although the person seemed familiar at first glance,
Alexander could not immediately remember where he had seen the person.
“I don't think I do.” Shaking his head, he looked at Anastasia.
“Why?”
Anastasia said, “No? Look closer.”
Alexander was puzzled. He took another look and saw a mark on the person's neck. Hidden by his
collar, it somewhat resembled a birthmark or a scar.
