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 lendyours for a moment? | need it now for an emergency.” “What? Why would Anastasia freeze your bank cards?” “She found out about the money | embezzled last tand used it as a reason to have my bank cards frozen,” Alex explained somewhat indignantly.

“Alright, I'll give you a card later,” 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 replacing his cannula when she suddenly sensed a movement in his arm as she was holding it. Startled, she stopped putting in his cannula 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 replacing Francis’ cannula just now cover to her, saying, “Miss Tillman, I'm sure that your father moved.” “Thank you. | 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 played in stereo; he was happy for her. “Is that so? Well, that means our efforts arent 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. | 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 blamed 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 the latter cared about was the company, 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 remain comatose 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 my comfortable life out there and let myself cto 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; the latter 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 squality ttogether. 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 until late 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 hand binge on TV s in bed than keep Alex company 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.
