Chapter 1825


    Cameron’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down—he managed to swallow the pill. Anastasia heaved a


    massive sigh of relief when she saw that. “My father swallowed it!”


    “Water!” Alexander was still holding Cameron’s head as he reached his free hand toward her.


    Anastasia caught herself and hastily handed Alexander a ss of water. Then he quickly fed some to


    Cameron. Although some water spilled from the corners of Cameron’s mouth, Alexander had at least


    made him drink some of it.


    Anastasia became so moved when she watched her father swallow the pill that she nearly burst into


    tears. They had at least made him swallow the pill. All they could do now was wait.


    “When will my father wake up?” she asked despite herself.


    Alexander shook his head. “I have no idea.”


    Lily did not tell Alexander how long it would take for Cameron to wake up after ingesting the pill. All she


    said was to observe his reaction. After all, it was an unusual toxin, and she could not be there to see its


    real-time effects.


    As they fell into silence, a ding came from outside the door. Anastasia could hear Fabian’s voice, and


    the servant tried to stop him.


    “Mr. Moore, you can’t go in. You…” The servant sounded anxious. “Miss Rollins? Miss Rollins”


    Anastasia exchanged looks with Alexander and took a deep breath before opening the door. Then


    Fabian happened to rush over and nearly collided with her.


    Fortunately, he stopped just in time. He curled his lips into a grin when he saw his niece. “Tasia, your


    servants are bing increasingly unruly!”


    “Uncle Fabian, didn’t I tell you not to disturb my father? Don’t you know the situation we’re facing now?”

    Anastasia acted calm and spoke unemotionally.


    “Of course I do! That’s why I’m anxious!” Fabian pped and shouted, “It’s been days, and there’s still


    no sign of your father waking up! Do you know the kind of rumors circting outside? We’re running


    out of time! I think it’s better if we send your father to the hospital…”


    He tried entering the room as he spoke, seemingly nning to take Cameron away by force.


    “Uncle Fabian!” Anastasia extended her arm to stop him and said solemnly, “I told you we couldn’t send


    my father to the hospital due to his position. You’re just going to worsen things!”


    “What the hell are you talking about? How am I making things worse? I’m your uncle, okay?” Fabian


    grew upset and tried to push her aside. “Even if we can’t send him to a public hospital, how about a


    private one?


    “I know many doctors, and I can get a trustworthy one to check on your father. It beats doing nothing


    and allowing the gossip to spread further!”


    However, as Anastasia was sturdier, he failed to make her budge. She would have gotten shoved aside


    if she were small-sized like other girls.


    Standing akimbo, Anastasia was somewhat upset. “Uncle Fabian! That’s my father. Do you think I don’t


    wish he’ll get better soon? Just listen to me for my father''s and everyone’s sake!”


    Fabian saw her angry expression and was stunned. He hesitated momentarily but could hardly stand it


    anymore. After staying home for two days, he had to deal with several people who enquired about


    Cameron at the vine development center.


    He felt restless while his wife was bedridden from sorrow due to losing her daughter.
