Chapter 536


    Alex’s eyes were bloodshot; he had no choice but to take out his cell phone and dial Erica’s number.


    “Hello?”


    “Erica, Anastasia froze my bank cards. Could you lend me yours for a moment? I need it now for an


    emergency.”


    “What? Why would Anastasia freeze your bank cards?” “She found out about the money I embezzled


    last time and used it as a reason to have my bank cards frozen,” Alex exined somewhat indignantly.


    “Alright, I’ll give you a cardter,’ Erica replied.


    Alex then hung up on her. Still, he was finding a way to unfreeze his cards.


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, the female nurse in charge of Francis’ fluids was recing his cann when


    she suddenly sensed a movement in his arm as she was holding it. Startled, she stopped putting in his


    cann and hurried outside to report it to the doctors.


    Soon after that, Anastasia learned that Francis had shown a response. Seeing the few specialists who


    were checking on Francis’ condition before his sickbed, she stood outside the window with a flicker of


    surprise in her eyes. Dad finally made a movement, which means that he’s getting closer and closer to


    regaining consciousness.


    Just then, the nurse in charge of recing Francis’ cann just now came over to her, saying, “Miss


    Tillman, I’m sure that your father moved.”

    “Thank you. I believe that my dad’s recovering, Anastasia replied thankfully. After that, she took out her


    cell phone and dialed Elliot’s number. She said to him in surprise, “My dad showed a response just now.


    He moved.


    She didn’t realize that it was strangely quiet on the other end of the line. Elliot’s voice sounded especially


    deep and clear as if it were yed in stereo; he was happy for her. “Is that so? Well, that means our


    efforts aren’t in vain.”


    Realizing that it was too quiet on the other end, Anastasia asked with embarrassment, ‘Are you in a


    meeting?”


    “Mm-hm, Elliot replied with a chuckle. “In that case, just go ahead with your meeting. I won’t bother you


    any longer


    “Alright, I’ll call you back when the meeting is over,” Elliot said to her.


    Anastasia hung up. She really wanted to share with him immediately what had just happened to Francis,


    but she somewhat med herself upon recalling how she had interrupted him while he was in a meeting.


    As for Erica, she had no intention of sharing the matter with her. She didn’t feel like telling Erica about it.


    After all, all thetter cared about was thepany, not her father.


    Meanwhile, Naomi was still being detained. The evidence submitted by Anastasia was sufficient for her


    to be charged with attempted murder. At this moment, she experienced how distressing it was to be


    imprisoned. Only two weeks had passed since she was put behind bars, but she was already feeling


    miserable. To her, life in prison was utterly inhumane.


    At this moment, she found herself hoping that Francis could regain


    consciousness and get her out of prison. Even if he hated her and divorced her, she was fine with it as


    long as she didn’t have to go to prison. And besides, Erica couldn’t be of much help to her while she was


    here; all the former could do was bring her clothes. Other than that, all she had here was a bed


    surrounded by ice cold walls. She yearned for life outside the prison, but she also dreaded what


    Anastasia would do to her.


    If Francis were to remainatose for life, Anastasia would probably hate her so much as to have her


    locked up in here forever. She felt like crying. To think that I’d forsake myfortable life out there and


    let myselfe to such a bad end, she thought. She hoped day after day that Erica and Alex would get


    her out of here. only to get disappointed every single day. Still, she knew how much Erica was capable


    of; thetter was essentially terribly spoiled and had no ability to speak of. She also regretted not having


    raised Erica to be like Anastasia, who could put everything aside first to save her father.


    In the afternoon, Erica brought Alex a bank card, wanting to ask him out to dinner in the evening before


    spending some quality time together. After all, now that they were husband and wife, she also wanted to


    sleep with him.


    However, Alex declined her dinner invitation, saying that he had to work untilte tonight because he was


    too busy with work at his office.


    Erica was a person who could hardly stay idle. And besides, she’d rather go home and binge on TV


    dramas in bed than keep Alexpany while he worked extra hours. Moreover, Alex also persuaded her


    to go home, so she had no choice but to leave reluctantly.


    Just when she was halfway to her home, she heard the beep of a text message. She picked up her cell


    phone and took a look. only to see a message saying that 40,000 had been withdrawn from her card.
