“But my father refuses to see anyone!” Anastasia said anxiously, “He doesn’t want to see me either. That’s why I was able to let you guys in behind his back.”
Lily nodded. “Then all the more reason to meet him.”
The young lady hesitated.
“Since you want your father to get well soon, how will I know what drug he’s been given without seeing him?” Lily added.
Anastasia thought about it and was successfully persuaded. “Come with me!”
She opened the door to the empty corridor. The house was so quiet that it was eerie.
They went downstairs and stopped outside the study room. Anastasia turned and gestured for them to be quiet, then whispered. “My father usually stays inside for a long time and doesn’t allow anyone to disturb him. Sometimes, he doesn’t even eat.”
She was worried but knew she had no other way.
Inclining her head slightly, Lily wanted to say something before hearing a stern voice from inside the room ask, “Who is it?”
Anastasia’s shoulders shuddered, but she still spoke. “Dad, it’s me!”
“F*ck off!” His blunt response came readily.
Cameron would never act like this in the past. Although he looked serious and strict, he doted on Anastasia and would not be so vulgar to her.
Anastasia, who appeared accustomed to being yelled at, said obstinately, "Dad, two of my friends would like to see you. Can I open the door and come in?”
