Alex, who was enjoying the show on the side, sneered inwardly. Elliot’s dream of marrying Anastasia
might as well be flushed down the drain now.
As long as Francis remained unconscious. Anastasia would not be able to marry with a peace of mind,
which meant that Elliot could not be the son-in-law of the Tillman Family anytime soon.
“Are you done? Can’t you see that she’s already stressed out? What else do you want?” Elliot stared at
Naomi and Erica with a cold gaze.
“Young Master Elliot, I’m sorry but Anastasia belongs to our family. I’m afraid that her engagement will
be off,” Naomi stated boldly.
“This matter is up to us to decide. You don’t have the right to intervene.” Elliot glanced at her coldly, not
bothering to save any respect for her.
Naomi choked in surprise and looked at Anastasia. “Your father is in serious condition now. You can’t
get engaged without his presence!”
As long as Anastasia was not engaged, Elliot was not the son-in-law of the Tillman Family. Despite how
powerful he was, he could not interfere in the affairs of their family.

Even without her request, Elliot already had that plan in mind. Presgrave Hospital had state-of-the-art
medical equipment and technology, so it was more likely for them to cure Francis.
“Sure. I’ll make an arrangement right now.” Elliot nodded.
When Naomi heard that, her expression fell and she immediately stopped them. “Your dad has just
been resuscitated. Don’t hassle him around!”
Anastasia took a deep breath and explained, “Presgrave Hospital has more advanced technology than
other hospitals. It will be helpful for Dad’s treatment.” Of course, she assumed that Naomi also wanted
to save her father, so she explained it to the woman nicely.
When Naomi heard it, she blatantly rejected the offer. “I don’t believe in any hoax of better technology. I
just don’t want my husband to suffer again. He’s merely just landed his foot back in the world;
therefore, I will not allow you to move him around.”
“Naomi, I know that you hold a grudge against me, but Dad’s health is more important now.” Anastasia
was furious because Naomi insisted on going against her at such a critical moment.
Erica, who was beside Naomi, also spoke out to support her mother. “Dad is still weak now. Why do
you have to torment him? If something goes wrong on the way… or if he encounters an accident, what
will you do?”
Seeing that the mother and daughter insisted on not transferring Francis to another hospital, Anastasia
could only hold back temporarily. Nodding as she compromised and said, “Okay, I will let Dad stay here
tonight. We’ll see how his condition is and transfer him after two days.”
Once Francis was transferred to the ICU for monitoring, Naomi went in to visit for ten minutes as the
representative. She sat in front of Francis’ hospital bed and looked at his lifeless and pale face. She
muttered coldly in her heart, I don’t want you to suffer anymore. You should just go!
Anastasia could only look at her father lying quietly through the glass window. During dinner, her father
was still happily drinking and talking to her, yet. now, he was lying in the cold ward sound asleep.
Elliot hugged her shoulders and comforted her. “Rest assured that I have arranged for a few doctors
from Presgrave Hospital to check on him.”

She looked at him with gratitude filled in her eyes. At a time like this, he was her warm and powerful
pillar.
“Jared fell asleep, so I had Grandma take care of him.” Anastasia felt safe leaving her son at Presgrave
Residence, so she nodded.
“Okay.”
It was winter outside, so the chill was still vaguely present despite the heater that was switched on
outside the ward. Elliot took off his suit coat and draped it over Anastasia’s body. Since she was in such
a hurry to come to the hospital earlier, she only wore a sweater, forgetting her thick coat.
On the other row, Erica looked at Anastasia with jealousy. A rich and young master like Elliot was
considerately by Anastasia’s side, taking care of her every single need.
However, when Elliot looked up and scanned over Erica and Alex, he exuded a dark and cold aura that
made her feel pressured even from a distance.
How does Anastasia have such an ability to make him show her only his best side?
When Alex went to get water for Naomi and Erica, he also bought some for Anastasia. She took them
and handed a bottle to Elliot, who was obviously reluctant to accept anything given by another man.
Even if it was just a bottle of water, he felt uncomfortable.
