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 longsting.”


    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 vitalprehension 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 rmed Anastasia. She could hardly contain her emotions


    and grabbed his sleeve. “Please save my father. I can’t let anything happen to him!”


    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


    sheter realized she could not have her cake and eat it too.


    It was difficult for her father to make a living while keeping herpany. Besides, he had never


    mistreated her besidesck ofpanionship.


    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 ufortable.


    “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 ce 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 wasbored 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.


    “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.
