Chapter 1568
She walked up the basement and away from the house before she finally answered the call. Lily had
turned off the location service on her phone, but she was still worried that someone might be able to
track her.
"Hello?" As soon as the call connected, she heard a cry from the other end.
It wasn't just a sob. It sounded more like a wail-a heart-piercing howl. This startled her. The volume
was so overwhelming that she pulled the phone from her ear. The caller did not speak and continued to
cry with no intention of stopping.
It was only after a few seconds before coherent words could be heard. ’ Lily, I...woo woo... I... woo
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwoo..."
Lily rubbed her temples and tried to comfort Anastasia. "Okay, slow down. Don't worry. Let it all out
before you speak."
‘What in the world happened?'
A part of Lily felt helpless. Anastasia was not usually like this. Something big must have happened for
her to be crying like this.
Anastasia, with her temperament, would hold it in no matter how unhappy she was. However, she was
now wailing into the phone.
"I've cried enough!" She muttered as she continued to sob.
"It's okay. I'll wait. Otherwise, you can call me back later!" Lily sighed helplessly.
"Don't...don't..." Anastasia was afraid that Lily would hang up and quickly sniffed hard. Lily heard her
clear her throat a few times to try to speak.
Lily sighed again and waited patiently. Finally, Anastasia said, "Lily, my dad. He's changed."
"Huh?" Lily was confused by Anastasia’s words. "What happened to your father?"
"Today, my uncle, aunt, and cousin all came to my house. My dad brought up my poisoning and said
he'd seek justice for me and send my cousin to jail." She sobbed. It took her a lot to get this point
across.
Lily nodded and urged, "Then?"
"Then, he changed his mind!” Saying this, Anastasia could not help but cry again.
Lily immediately yelled, "Don't cry yet!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe unusually loud tone of Lily's voice shocked Anastasia enough that she stopped crying.
"What do you mean? What do you mean he changed his mind? Did your uncle and aunt persuade
him?" Lily asked in confusion.
Anastasia shook her head. "No, it wasn't them. It was my cousin! I don't know what's going on. Initially,
my father was furious. No one could change his mind, not even me! Later, my cousin said she had a
secret about the laboratory that she wanted to tell my father in exchange for forgiveness."
Anastasia still found this to be too strange. 'Why was my father so easily persuaded? What secret was
so valuable?'
Ever since she was a child, she had seen countless people turned away, even when they came bearing
gifts. Those who tried to hand her gifts secretly were all thrown out by Cameron. With word of his
reputation spreading, eventually nobody dared to go.
However, he seemed to have been persuaded this time. This was a shock to Anastasia.
