Ch. 1561..1570

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1561-She took a few steps forward, bent down slightly, and tugged at his arm.

"Uncle Cameron?"

There was still no movement.

The man's head was tilted to one side, exposing a section of his neck as he lay there motionless.

This reassured Rhea as she took out a small bottle from her pocket.

Looking at the vial's content and back at the unconscious Cameron, she squinted as if she had made up her mind.

Then she quickly took out a mask and syringe from her pocket.

Once she put on the mask, she used the syringe to draw out the bottle's content and stabbed the needle at the back of his neck.

The three of them waited in the living room impatiently.

Fabian had no idea if Rhea's method would work or if she had managed to convince Cameron.

Maria was worried about her daughter, and Anastasia was worried that her father would give in.

On the other hand, she was also curious about the secret.

After an hour, the two of them still hadn't left the room.

Finally, Maria couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

"It's been so long.Let me go have a look."

"What are you going to do there? Such a long time means that the matter must be very serious.You might stir up trouble if you barge in now! The reason we became what we are today is all because of how nosy you are! You care about things you shouldn't care about! "

He held her back and complained.

Maria was displeased when she heard what he said and cried, "What do you mean I care about things I shouldn't care about? You spend most of your days outside, drinking with those cronies all night.Tell me, is there anything you care about? Do you care about this family? Now, you're pointing your finger at me! "Look at you! Now that your business is falling apart, where are those friends of yours? Are they here to help you?"

"Okay, okay! Enough! I might as well be talking to a brick wall instead of you." He waved impatiently.

"Is talking to you any better? All you do is pick fights with our daughter, creating tension in the family.Now she doesn't even tell us anything!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Maria was upset by all of this.She had given so much for this family, yet she had to watch as everything fell apart.She wiped her eyes and turned her head to look at Anastasia, who was sitting with her legs crossed.

Maria couldn't help but say, "Tasia, you know how we've treated you since you were a child.Oh, forget your uncle.

What about me?

"Haven't I been treating you like my own daughter? So much so that Ree did that because she was jealous of you.Yes, what she did was wrong, but she still cares for you.She didn't kill you, did she? Can you just forgive her for your aunt’s sake?"

"Aunt Maria, are you saying I must thank my cousin for not killing me?"

Anastasia let out a sarcastic laugh.

It was ridiculous.

Although she was grateful for Maria's care for her, her father had also helped them throughout the years.

However, they were too greedy and always wanted more.

As for Rhea, could it be that it was out of kindness that she didn't kill her?

‘What a joke!’ Just as Maria was about to speak again, she heard footsteps coming from inside.Then she immediately felt her spirits lift as she walked toward the room, eager to know what had happened.

Anastasia also couldn't help but stand up as she watched the two people walk out of the room, one after the other.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1562 -Rhea was walking in front of Cameron, speaking softly to him as they walked.

"Uncle Cameron, I know I’m at fault.I’m responsible for what happened to Tasia."

Cameron did not answer.

Everyone else stared at them in confusion as they watched their exchange.

Rhea and Cameron walked to the middle of the living room.

When Rhea stopped, Cameron stopped as well, keeping a few feet between them.

Rhea turned to look at Cameron with her head lowered, and she had a heartfelt look.

"Uncle Cameron, I know I’ve been acting like a child, and I’m sorry for what happened to Tasia.However, we should look at the bigger picture.Please reconsider our discussion about the lab just now."

"All right, I will," Cameron answered lightly.

He sounded a lot calmer, almost gentle.His tone was not as sharp or as cold as before.

Maria was overjoyed to hear this.She turned her head to look at Fabian.

Sure enough, his eyes twinkled with anticipation.

"As for the vaccine development project...." Rhea trailed off.

"I’ll think about it," Cameron replied instantly.

Fabian couldn’t believe his ears.He was so thrilled that he almost fainted.

‘T-That is...Rhea is incredible! What did they talk about in the room? How did he suddenly have a change of heart? The secret of that lab must be a big deal.It turned things around."

Anastasia was the only one who looked dazed.She was in disbelief.

"Dad?!"

She quickly walked over and looked at her father, wondering what had caused such a drastic change in him.She linked her arms around his and asked, "Are we not calling the police?"

"we're a family, at the end of the day." Cameron sighed and turned to look at her.

"Tasia, your cousin was being used."

"what?!"

"She finally realized she was wrong and promised to make it up to you. The toxins in your body are almost cleared.It’ll be okay.You'll be okay."

He gently patted her hand to comfort her, but Anastasia pulled her hand away.She took two steps back and looked at him as if he were a stranger.

Only the Moores were happy to see this.

Maria came forward with a smile and said, "That’s right.We’re a family.Why do we have to make it into such a big deal? If Ree goes to jail, I’m sure you'll feel sorry for her, won’t you? "I know you've always been the kindest one in the family.Your uncle and I will try and make up for Rhea’s mistakes.Our family will be fine.Everyone will be okay!"

She was beaming with joy.

Fabian was also grinning widely.

"Yes! Family should always stick together! Ron, what you said is true! I agree with you completely!"

Cameron had yet to answer when Rhea spoke.

"Since we’ve cleared the air, let’s get going.We'll leave Uncle Ron and Tasia to rest.Uncle Ron said he’ll discuss the vaccine and the lab further on another day."This was a signal to her father to stay away from the topic.Fabian quickly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, you're right.It’s getting late.You should rest.We'll talk about this another day.There’s no rush!"

The family of three cheerfully waved goodbye.

When Anastasia saw that Cameron did not react, she became anxious and immediately jumped in to block the way.

"You can’t leave!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1563 -"Tasia?"

Maria frowned, a little unhappy.

She was delighted when she saw that Rhea had resolved the matter, but Anastasia seemed unwilling to give up.

"Dad!"

Anastasia stomped to Cameron angrily, staring into his eyes to try and see what he was thinking.

"What did Rhea tell you? Why did you change your mind? Didn't you say you would stand up for me? How can you just let her go like this?!"

"Tasia..."

Maria was distraught.

"Your father has already made up his mind.Do you honestly want to send your cousin to jail? Would you be satisfied if your uncle and I spent the rest of our days visiting her in prison? "Can't you forgive her for your late mother’s sake, even if it's not for ours? You two are cousins.Can't you be a bit more forgiving?"

She was starting to dislike Anastasia.

Although her attempt to help Anastasia was to curry favors with Cameron, Maria still had a fondness for Anastasia.

Maria had done so much for Anastasia, yet, Anastasia was never grateful for it.

Now, Anastasia was even trying to send Rhea to prison.

Maria felt that she had raised an ingrate.

The old sayings were true.

Other people’s children would not Match one’s own.

Anastasia did not even spare her aunt a glance.She was only concerned about why her father was acting this way.

"Dad, I don’t care about what other people think.I want to hear from you.What do you think I should do?"

At this point, Anastasia was about to cry.She did not care if anything happened to Rhea or not, nor if Rhea were to go to jail or die.

All she cared about was her father.

He always used to protect her.She was his priority, and he would always stand up for her.

However, he would throw her under the bus over some so-called laboratory secret.

Anastasia felt like she was just a transaction, that she was something he sold for information.

"Tasia," Cameron called out lightly as he touched her head to coax her, just like he did when she was younger.

"That’s enough." Anastasia took a few steps back and looked at him with shock and disappointment that she could not conceal.

"That's enough?" She repeated tremblingly.

Cameron dropped his hand to his side and sighed.

"It wasn’t easy for your uncle and aunt to raise you.You should learn how to be grateful."

"Grateful?!"

Maria, on the sidelines, was also surprised to hear this.She did not expect him to say such a thing.It was already a blessing to her that Cameron did not pursue this matter.

Now, he even said that Anastasia should be grateful to them.

Maria was ecstatic.She quickly waved around and said, "It’s fine.We’ re all a family, after all.There’s no need for her to be so courteous."

"Dad, are you being serious? Are we letting this slide?" Anastasia asked again reluctantly.

This time, Maria did not stop her.She turned to look at Cameron, alongside everyone else.

Cameron’s gaze shifted to Rhea before looking back at Anastasia.

"As I said, we're all a family..."

Before he could finish, Anastasia turned around and ran out the door.

Her sudden movement caused her to trip at the door, and she fell to the ground.Her big size caused a loud thump, and Maria subconsciously yelped and quickly wanted to step forward to help her.

However, her eyes darted toward Cameron, only to see that he was just standing there, unmoved.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1564 -Everyone stood frozen in place.

Anastasia pushed herself up embarrassedly and turned to look at her father with teary eyes, only to see his indifferent appearance.

Cameron did not even say a word.

Ultimately, Anastasi bit her lip resentfully and ran out.

Maria’s heart could not help but ache when she saw this.

"Ron..."

"Ignore her."

With that, Cameron turned and walked into the room.

It seemed like he did not even care about Anastasia.

Maria was perplexed by this.

Although she was happy with the outcome, which had exceeded her expectations, the change was too sudden.

She could not figure out what was happening.

Even if Cameron had changed his mind, he would not treat Anastasia so coldly.

However, Maria dared not question it, fearing he might change his mind if she did.

It was better to leave it as it was.

With that, the Moore family got into their car.

As soon as they got inside, Maria could not help but ask, "Ree, what did you say to your uncle? It seems like he has turned into a different person."

Rhea dug out a plastic bag from the back of the car before throwing in the mask and gloves she had in her pocket.

After discarding the plastic bag, she casually said, "It’s just something to do with the lab."

"What about it?"

Fabian was also curious.

After all, he could never convince Cameron for so many years, yet his daughter changed him entirely after just a few words.

This was a new side of Cameron that Fabian had never seen before.

Cameron had always been stern and rigid, but he seemed much nicer around Rhea.

If Fabian had known it was this easy, he would have let her speak for him earlier.

"If I say I can’t tell you, will you slap me again?"

She taunted, pointing to her swollen cheek.

Fabian immediately fell silent.

At this time, Maria stepped in to try and smooth things over.

"Exactly! Why do you have to hit our daughter? Look at her face! It pains me to see her like this.If this leaves a scar on her face, I'll never let you hear the end of it!"

"The swelling will go down after a while.How can there be a scar?" He grumbled.

"Besides, I was hanging by a thread at that time.I feared Cameron was serious about it, and Ree had to be stubborn.By the way, Ree, what happened to the miracle doctor that disappeared from your lab?"

"I have no idea.I heard he worked overtime there and was conducting a few experiments.One day, he just never went home.Then his parents called the police once they noticed his disappearance," Rhea said indifferently.

"Oh, why was Tasia insisting he’s a fake doctor?" Maria asked curiously.

"How would I know?!" Rhea waved impatiently.

"I’m not friends with the person you’re talking about.I have no idea!"

Seeing Rhea like this, Maria glanced at her husband and pursed her lips but dared not ask any more questions.

After all, this was the best outcome they could ask for.

It was better for her just to keep quiet.

Lily opened the lid to take a look.

Steam immediately gushed out, and the whole room smelled of herbs.

Although she was used to the smell, Greg was not.

He quickly covered his nose with one hand as he squatted in the yard and tended to the vegetables.

There was an entire vegetable garden, so food was not a concern.

Their diet was very healthy.

Then Lily poured the medicine into a small bow! and walked into the house with it.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1565-After walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "Don’t cook the leeks for lunch."

The man nodded.

Without saying a word, Lily headed down to the basement.

Alexander was not coughing as badly anymore.

Lily was right.

He was indeed getting better, and his mental state was improving as well.

After checking his pulse, Lily found that his body condition was not as severe as she had imagined.

The troublesome part was that this virus was rather cunning.

Alexander’s pulse would be stable, and everything would be normal during the day.

However, his cough would flare up at night.

That was the first time Lily had encountered such a disease since she started studying medicine.

She did not find anything like it in old medical books either.

She concluded that this was a new virus and was undoubtedly linked to the experiments in the laboratory.

"Drink this."

She handed the bowl to Alexander.

After taking off his mask, he quickly finished the bowl without complaint.

The medicine was very bitter.

Lily had taken a sip herself, so she was full of admiration when she saw him drink without a change in his expression.

In the end, she stuck out her tongue in disgust.

"How long do I have to take this?"

Alexander looked up at her and consciously put on his mask again.

"Hmm...Three..."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Five...seven to eight days!"

Alexander knew Lily was teasing him as he shot her a playful glare.

If it were not for this disease, he would have pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Lily burst into laughter when she saw his unhappy and helpless eyes.

Then she said, "I’m kidding.Your pulse seems to have stabilized now, and you don’t get as many seizures as before.I think you’d need another two or three days before fully recovering.However, this virus is peculiar.I think I'd have to observe you a little more."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you, my miracle doctor!"

He teased as he gently stared at her dotingly.Her cheeks immediately turned red.

"Whatever! By the way, is there any news about Edward?"

Edward had always been lingering in her mind.

Olivia must be worried sick.

On top of that, now that Lily was with Alexander, she was afraid that Olivia’s mind would begin to run wild if Lily did not check on her from time to time.

Alexander shook his head lightly without saying a word.His face dimmed as well.

The thought of a wounded Edward being in a foreign country was depressing.

In such a chaotic situation, the probability of him surviving was low.

Even so, they continued to hope.

They did not want to believe Edward was dead.

As long as they had not discovered a body and there was no definite news of his death, Alexander would have people searching high and low for Edward.

"Are you men still looking for him in Burnwken?" Lily asked again after a while.

Alexander nodded.

"Yes.They’ve also branched out to other places, including nearby villages and towns.They even searched in the next district.All my employees in Burnwken have used up all the resources they could gather.They searched everywhere, even in some tiny streets around Burnwken.It’s like finding a needle ina haystack!"

Upon hearing this, Lily frowned, seeming like she was holding back her words.

"what's wrong?" Alexander asked when he noticed her confusion.

"Do you think he may have already returned to the country?" She could not help but ask.

"Return here?"

Lily nodded affirmatively.

"Think about it.You’re already back here.If he were alive, it would be risky if he continued staying abroad.On top of that, you and Olivia are around here.What good does he have to continue staying out there? He’ll find his way back to us!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1566-This sparked a thought in Alexander.

She was right.

If Edward survived and managed to escape, he would try to return to Kingsland.

As for how, he would have his ways.

After all, Edward had followed him through all sorts of predicaments.

He was agile and intelligent enough to find his way home.

Alexander had gotten caught in a loop.

He had been so preoccupied with his search for Edward abroad that he had neglected to consider the possibility that Edward had returned to Kingsland.

Could the disease have affected his mental capabilities in any way?

"You’re right!"

Alexander’s spirit was lifted.

"I'll get someone to look for him here right away!"

Although there was a lot of ground to cover, the Russells were well -connected.

In addition, the Russells had spread their influence all over the country.

Looking for someone here was easier than he had imagined.

"Okay." Lily nodded.

For some reason, she always had a faint feeling that Edward was still alive.

It wasn't self-soothing, she just had a strong intuition that he was fine.

Her phone began to vibrate uncontrollably in her pocket.She had kept her phone silent ever since she came here.

When she took it out, she saw that Olivia was calling.

After glancing at Alexander, she turned around to answer the phone.

"Hello, Olivia?" The signal in the basement was not very strong, so she walked toward the stairs.

"Lily, where are you?" Olivia asked.

"I went to your house, but I couldn't find you.They said that you’ve been away for two days."

"Yeah.Something urgent came up.What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Lily lowered her voice and calmly asked.

"Did you go and see Mr.Russell?" Olivia asked unexpectedly.

Lily fell silent.

She didn't want to lie to Olivia, but she also could not tell her what was going on.

Ultimately, Lily could only avoid the question and ask again, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

The other end was quiet for a while as Olivia seemed to take a deep breath before answering.

Lily was a little surprised by her calmness.

She had expected Olivia to burst into tears and collapse like before.

This calmness scared Lily.

Lily could not help but try comfort Olivia.

"Olivia, stop thinking about it.Edward will be fine.All we need to do now is wait for good news.I believe there’ll be good news!"

This was her way of persuading not only Olivia, but also herself.

"I know," Olivia replied lightly.

To Lily's astonishment, Olivia seemed completely at ease.

Just as she was about to ask another question, Olivia spoke up, "By the way, did you know something happened in the lab?"

"The lab?"

She glanced in Alexander’s direction and noticed that he was focused on the computer before asking, "What happened?"

"Police went to search the place.Apparently, someone went missing.I think it’s that...Austin guy that came to our studio before."

Olivia could not quite remember his name.

All she could recall was the man jumping up and down at the studio door a while ago.It seemed like Austin’s parents had finally called the police.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened after that?"

"They didn’t find anyone," Olivia replied.

"I heard they searched the laboratory from top to bottom but found no one." This was both an expected and an unexpected result. Lily frowned.

"Did they search everywhere?"

"Yes.They’ve checked all the surveillance tapes as well."

"Including the basement and the offices on the top floor?"

Although she had never been to the two places she mentioned, she was surprised and curious that the police managed to search them.

"Yeah.The person’s parents seem to be prestigious and powerful.They made a big commotion and pressured the police force.The police checked everything thoroughly.I heard they even dispatched the Kg force but didn’t find anything.It was concluded that maybe the laboratory had nothing to do with his disappearance."

Hearing this, Lily was speechless for a moment.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1567-It was not a surprise that they did not find him.

They probably had him transferred somewhere else because of the heat.

However, she was surprised that even the police dogs didn’t pick up on any clues.

Could it be that he was never locked up in the laboratory, or did they do something to erase all traces of him that even the police dogs couldn't pick up? "Hello? Are you still there?"

Olivia did not hear a response and called out to Lily.

"Yes, I'm here.What happened after that?"

"Nothing.Since the police didn't find anything, they couldn’t do anything.They’ll just keep looking."

After a pause, Olivia continued, "Maybe it's because the lab had been relocated."

"Relocated?" Lily frowned, surprised by this news.

"Where did it move to?"

"I have no idea.I think they're still looking for a suitable location."

‘That’s odd.It seems like they had been alerted and planned their evacuation."

Lily considered, then she sighed and asked, "Oh, I see.Is there anything else?"

"No.Oh, wait, there's one more thing..."

Lily was about to hang up the phone but stopped.

"What is it?"

"What did you tell the royal family of Yudonia back then? I received another email from them saying they are coming over to Kingsland soon and would like you to spare some time to meet them and discuss further."

Lily was at a loss for words.She didn't expect the royal family to be so persistent even after she had rejected them.

They were even coming to meet her in person.

Now she would have no reason to refuse.

After pondering for a while, she said, "I got it.I'll arrange a time to meet them.We'll discuss this more when they arrive in Kingsland."

"Okay," Olivia responded.

She continued to stay on the phone for a while, hesitating, before finally saying, "Uhm...Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Take care of yourself and the baby.Be patient.I know this is hard, but we need to remember to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others," Lily advised.

"Mr.Russell...Is he okay?"

Olivia suddenly asked.

Lily looked at Alexander, who raised his head to look back at her with a smile.

"He should be fine.As soon as I hear anything about Edward, you'll be the first person I call," she promised.

"Okay! You should take care as well."

This time, she hung up the phone.

Lily stared at the phone in her hand.

A strange feeling bubbled up in her.

Olivia sounded a little odd today.

Although it was routine for her to report on the studio and other situations, she seemed too calm.

Something was off.

"What's wrong?"

Alexander called out after noticing her dilemma.

"Nothing."

She shook her head and continued, "The lab has been relocated."

"Where to?"

He did not seem surprised.

Lily shook her head again.

"I have no idea.I heard that they are still looking for a location.I..."

She was about to say something when her phone rang again.She glanced at the phone, frowned, and said.

"Let me take this call.-

Spoiled by mr. russell 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 woo..."

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 cal] 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 al] 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!"

The 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.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1569 -"The lab's secret?!"

Lily instinctively raised her voice in surprise.

‘The lab again?! It seems like everything is linked to the lab! I’ve only been away for two days, yet many things have happened.What other secrets does the lab have?’

"Yeah."

Anastasia did not know what was happening in the laboratory.She was just looking for someone to vent to.

Since she did not have any friends, Lily was the first to come to mind.

"What's the lab's secret?"

Lily cautiously asked as she held her breath.

As expected, Anastasia said, "I don't know.My cousin said it was severe and that she had to talk to my dad alone.Then they went into the study room and talked.

When they came out, she seemed to have swayed my father.

"Not only did she persuade him to drop the charges, but he also said he would reconsider giving them the vaccine development project."

Anastasia seemed much calmer after talking for a while.She hardly cried anymore.

However, she still sounded pitiful.

"Lily, what do you think my cousin told my dad? All these years, I've never seen anyone change my father's mind with just a few words."

Lily did not reply.She was deep in thought as she stared into the distance.

The forest ahead was dense and luxuriant, covering the sky.

There was no end to it as Lily envisioned herself walking around the forest aimlessly.

There were trees everywhere, so each turn was a mystery.She was trapped in a maze that she could not escape.

‘Everything seems related to the lab, but what’s the link between them?’ Lily?"

"I'm afraid it's not just a few words that caused your father's mind to change," Lily answered lightly.

Anastasia was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Nevermind.Maybe what’s going on in the lab is so serious that he could see past your poisoning for the time being."

After taking a deep breath, Lily forced herself to smoothen her brows and softly said, "Whatever it is, I think you should trust your father, Tasia."

"Trust him?"

Anastasia felt aggrieved.

"I've been poisoned for so long! He knows better than anyone else about the torture and pain I've experienced.How can he let this go and forgive my cousin? How can I trust him on this?"

Although she had no intention of sending her cousin to jail, she did not intend to let this matter slide just like that.She knew it was too easy on Rhea if they just let it slide.

How could she undo all the emotional harm and torture Anastasia had suffered for all these years? On top of that, Cameron had always protected and pampered Anastasia.

Now, he was willing to disregard her because of a secret.

How could Anastasia ever trust him again? Lily could hear the pain in Anastasia’s voice.She understood where Anastasia was coming from, so all she could do was comfort her.

"You know how much your father loves you.How can you doubt his love just because of this?"

These words struck Anastasia's heartstrings as she fell silent.

When she was a child, she used to think that her father did not spend enough time with her and was always very strict.

As she grew, she gradually understood that it was just a front.

On the contrary, Cameron pampered her a lot.

She started to accept and bathe in his love.

A years passed, their relationship improved as well.

However, the way Cameron acted today shattered her heart into pieces.

The pain amplified when she fell at the door, but her father did not react.

It was too cruel.

"Whatever it is, he's different now!" She pursed her lips, aggrieved.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1570-"Okay, let's say he changed.What are you planning to do next? Are you going to cut him off?"

Lily knew Anastasia was fuming with anger, so she played along.

"Yeah! Who cares! I'm not scared of him!" Anastasia retorted.

Lily instinctively laughed when she heard that.

"It's not a question of whether or not you’re afraid. It's a question of your reluctance."

"..of course, I am willing to! There's nothing to be reluctant about!"

"Silly girl! It's just a dispute.Besides, adults will always weigh the pros and cons before they act.Of course, I'm not dismissing your importance, but maybe your father had other things to reconsider.Maybe he isn't brushing you off.Maybe he's just pushing it aside for now," Lily said.

To be frank, she had no idea what was happening with Cameron.

Even if she was not there and did not see anything, Anastasia's story sounded too strange.

Still, things were more complex than they seemed.

Lily had met Cameron several times before.She could see the love he had for Anastasia.

On top of that, Alexander also mentioned the type of person Cameron was.

He would not strike a deal to benefit himself, let alone if it involved his favorite daughter.

Something fishy may have been going on, or maybe Cameron had other plans.

"What are the pros and cons? Am I just a trade-off? Isn't he just giving up on me?!"

Anastasia did not understand all this.

All she knew was that her father had chosen to give her up to learn some laboratory secrets.

"That's not the case.Your father has protected you well.There are many things you don't know! Things are sometimes different from what it seems.Whatever it is, you should calm down and think about how he has treated you all these years.Is he someone who only cares for his own interest? Think about it.You're the only one who knows the answer to that."

After that, Lily added, "Don't make rash decisions when you’re angry.Those are often the decisions you'll regret in the future."

Anastasia eventually calmed down after hearing this.She no longer felt as sad or as angry.

Instead, she was just disappointed.

"Okay, I understand.Thanks, Lily."

She sounded a lot better, and she was not crying anymore.

Lily nodded before asking again, "How have you been? Are you taking the herbs I prescribed for you?"

"Yes.I followed your instructions and haven't missed a single meal.I feel much better about my body and have also been losing weight.I've been in a good mood so far until today."

After a sigh, she seemed to be able to lift her spirits again as she said, "Don't worry.I've thought things through and won't argue with my father now.I'll wait.I believe what you said, and I believe my father!"

"That's the spirit!"

After comforting her, Lily noticed that Greg was rushing toward her.Her heart immediately dropped.

"I have to go now.Call me if you need anything."

With that, she hung up and went up to Greg.

"What's wrong?"

"He vomited blood," he said.

Lily was shocked and quickly ran toward the cabin.

When Austin opened his eyes again, he thought he was in hell.

However, as his eyes adjusted to the light, he realized he was staring at a white-washed ceiling.

‘Why is hell white? Am I...in heaven? Is this the hospital?"

As he continued to question himself, he heard the sound of a door opening.

Soon, someone entered and stood before him.
