Upon hearing that, Cameron and Anastasia stopped in their tracks and turned around.
Rhea, standing at a distance quietly, walked over slowly after being called. Then looking at the two of them, she said, "Uncle Cameron, Tasia, I'm sorry."
Although her apology sounded earnest, her body language said otherwise. "I didn't do it on purpose. I was just in a hurry that day. I'm glad you're fine now."
"Really?" Anastasia smiled. "Are you delighted that I'm okay?"
Rhea squinted and did not answer.
Maria, anxiously standing on the side, hurried over to help her. "Tasia, you know your cousin hasn't been the best at expressing herself since she was a child. Ree doesn't say it, but she still cares about you in her heart! She's like this to your uncle and me as well.
“You see, she spends most of her time in the lab and hardly comes home. However, when she heard you got injured, she felt so worried and guilty that she returned and wanted us to bring her here to apologize. Please forgive her. You both only have each other. In the future, once we leave this world, you can only rely on each other!"
However, Anastasia sneered. "Speaking of which, I need to thank Rhea as well."
Fabian frowned when he heard this. Maria had already said so much, yet, Anastasia was still so cold.
"Tasia, your aunt is right. If your mother were still alive, she would want you two cousins to get along. We saw everything that happened that day. Rhea is at fault, and she should come and apologize, but since you two are cousins, you should laugh it off after she apologizes and not make a fuss, shouldn't you?" Fabian chimed in.
"Uncle Fabian, although what you said is true, if my mother were still alive, she would also not want to see me like this." Anastasia lowered her head and glanced at her body. Even though she had lost a lot of weight, she was still overweight.
After all, Rome was not built in a day. It would take her a while to slim down as well. Although she was not in a hurry, she still despised her body.
She hated herself for being so naive. She hated that she was stupid enough to be toyed with for years. Now, even the sight of them was repelling.
Fabian's eyes darted around, moving from Anastasia to Cameron, and finally landed on his daughter. There was a strange feeling in Fabian's heart, but he could not think of any reason.
After letting out a light cough, he spoke up. "Ron, let's go in and talk. It's weird to be talking at the front door like this. After all, we're all a family. E-Even if my sister has been gone for years, we're still a family.
“Tasia and Ree have the same family blood running through their veins," he said flatteringly.
However, Cameron smiled coldly. "Yeah, they're cousins, no matter what, but families always put each other in their hearts."
"Yes, of course!" Fabian said in a hurry and nodded repeatedly. "Then, let's…"
He gestured inside. Cameron glanced at him. Cameron knew if they did not resolve this today, Fabian would continue to bug him. Ultimately, Cameron nodded slightly. "Let's go in and chat."
