The house was so quiet that one might think no one was inside.
Alexander stood in the living room for a minute before Anastasia came downstairs—she had lost so
much weight that he could not recognize her initially.
Anastasia was wearing a black dress and slippers as she greeted him, "Hey, Alex."
"Where’s your father?"
"My father is still resting," she whispered, gesturing as she glanced upstairs.
Alexander was puzzled.
"Resting?"
‘It’s unusual for Cameron to be resting at this hour"
Alexander knew she used the same excuse to turn away visitors when her father was unwell. Hence,
he wondered why Cameron was still resting now that the toxins had been removed from the latter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are you visiting us so suddenly?" Anastasia asked and gestured for him to take a seat.
However, she was strangely reserved and did not tell the servant to serve him drinks.Since Alexander
was usually observant, he knew something was amiss but could not figure out what or why.He asked,
"Did something happen?"
"No." Anastasia shrugged it off with a smile.
"Besides my father feeling weak and needing more rest, everything is fine.Anyway, I must thank you
and Lily.If it weren't for you guys, my father’s toxin wouldn't have been removed so soon."
She tried to smile and sound light-hearted, but there was uneasiness in her eyes.Alexander knitted his
brows and carefully observed the place.
"So why are you here? My father has been feeling weak and might not wake up anytime soon.How
about you tell me what it’s about, and I'll convey your message to him later?" she continued.
Instead of replying to her question, Alexander asked, "Many of your servants aren't around.Besides
that, your father seems to have dismissed his personal guards, right?"
Hearing this, Anastasia glanced left and right and chuckled.
"Yeah, we think we overworked our servants before this, so after my father regained consciousness, he
told them to take turns going home to rest.As for the guards...now that my father has come to, he no
longer needs that many."
"I see."
Nodding thoughtfully, Alexander nodded thoughtfully and gazed at Anastasia deeply.
The latter felt uncomfortable and pulled at the helm of her dress before repeating her question, "So,
what brings you here?"
Alexander nodded.
"I'm here for something important.I must tell Cameron in person, and it can't wait.I'll go and see him
now.Wake him up, please."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No!"
Anastasia realized her exclamation shocked Alexander.She caught herself and smacked her hand to
her mouth as she revealed an embarrassed smile.
"M-My father has been weak and hates being disturbed during his sleep.He'll lose his temper.
"When he was sleeping two days ago, I woke him up to ask him if he wanted to eat anything, and he
got angry and told me not ever to disturb him no matter what when he’s asleep.So I think..." she
paused, "it’s best not to do so."
Alexander raised his brow.
"I see.But I’m not afraid of him losing his temper since I have something urgent to tell him.I'm ready to
bear the consequences."
Then he ran upstairs.
‘No! This doesn't feel right at all!’ Alexander sensed something terribly wrong when Cameron did not
answer his calls, even before entering the house
