“Thank you.” Anastasia thanked Elliot.
“I''d have to punish you if | hear you say those words again.” As he tugged her arm, she fell into his arms, and shortly after, she
felt his arms around her waist.
“There’s no need for you to thank me since that’s the least | can do for my fiancee.” He pecked on her red lips right after that.
Their public disy of affection caught the attention of a few nurses that walked past them. All of them blushed as they were
captivated by his domineering disposition, which they found mesmerizing. They were envious of Anastasia’s beauty and how
lucky she was to end up with someone like Elliot. She must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to deserve him.
After Anastasia found out that they were being watched, she blushed as she buried
her head into his chest and covered her face using his suit.
As Elliot tilted his head down and looked at the girl in his arms, he couldn''t help but kiss the crown of her head. “Since your
father is awake, we could discuss our marriage.”Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
“There’s no rush for that.” She blinked her eyes.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear. “But | can’t wait any longer.
Upon hearing his affectionate confession, she pursed her lips to hold herughter. “There’s nothing you can do even if you''re
impatient.”
“You''re heartless.” He sighed, feeling disappointed.
“Alright, we shall discuss it after my dad’s condition improves.’ She giggled.
“Sure. He nodded.
Meanwhile, in a public hospital by the seaside, Wanda, who almost drowned, woke up on the same day. Shey on the bed, still
in a state of shock from her near-death experience. Her face was as
pale as a sheet.
“Erica, | won''t let you go. | will let Francis know about your true identity, and | look forward to your demise,” she grumbled.
“Madam, we have paid for your medical bills, so you can leave the hospital now.” One of the volunteers walked toward her.
“Thank you. You''re all kind-hearted people.” After being saved from drowning, Wanda was beyond thankful.
“Avoid going to the beach next time, as
you''re more prone to idents due to
your age.”
“| didn’t fall into the sea. Someone pushed me down!” Wanda was exasperated.
“Then you should quickly find out who that person is and get them apprehended!”
Aguilty conscience shed in Wanda’s eyes again since she was the one who brought the whole matter upon herself. She got
greedy and threatened Erica for a
million. Besides, she would be put in a tough position if Erica revealed what she did.

After she left the hospital, she got on a public bus. While on the way home, she thought that Erica would never have imagined
that she was alive, and she didn’t n to make things easy for her. As soon as she got home, she took out the yellow pages and
purchased a new mobile phone and a sim card. While she stood at the corner of the shop, she dialed Erica’s number.
“Hi, who is it?” Erica sounded impatient.
as she answered the call.
‘Erice, don’t you recognize my voice?”
Wanda scoffed.
“Are... Are you Mrs. Garner?” Erica’s voice
was shaky.
“Hmph! Erica, your true identity will be revealed very soon! | will let Francis know that you are Naomi’s illegitimate daughter and
that you''re not of the Tillman bloodline.”
“Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Garner... I’m very sorry. I’m begging you. Please don’t let them know. I’ll pay you a million immediately.” Her
words were muddled up.
“| don’t want your money anymore. | just want to see your downfall.” After Wanda’s near-death experience, she was thankful for
the volunteers’ help and had made up her mind that she would be a good person from thereon.
