His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1720

“That silver needle…” Seeing Lily pulling the needle out from the back of her father’s head was too overwhelming for Anastasia, and she kept thinking about it.

“It’s an acupuncture needle Rhea had inserted into a pressure point at the back of your father’s head. Rhea must’ve used it and the toxin to exert control over him. There are records of such an evil method in the ancient text.

“Still, the practitioners only used the silver needle to pierce through the point before manipulating their targets. Those who were under control had no volition like a puppet.”

Lily gave Anastasia a rough explanation and simultaneously became pensive. “However, the ancient text does not mention a case like your father’s as he seems to retain his volition and is not much different from a normal person. Perhaps the perpetrators added the drug and enhanced the method.”

“So, can my father regain his old self?” Anastasia earnestly asked as it was what she cared about most.

It did not matter if the cause was the acupuncture needle or the drug because Anastasia was willing to do anything as long as her father could return to the way he was and stay by her side.

“It’s hard to tell.” Lily noticed her anxious expression and wanted to tell her that he could. However, she dared not promise Anastasia since his condition was complex, and she was unsure what kind of toxin it was, let alone the side effects and sequelae he might be suffering.

As expected, when Anastasia heard Lily’s words, her red-rimmed eyes gradually lost their glow. “Dad…” She turned to look at the bedridden Cameron, grieving.

“I’ll do whatever I can to cure him. At least his life is not in danger for now. Don’t worry too much,” Lily said.

“Okay.” The young lady bit her lower lip while nodding.

“With him in this state, if anyone were to look for him…” Alexander raised his concern with a frown.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell others that my father is sick and needs rest. My father’s two right-hand men are trustworthy. I’ll tell them he needs to recuperate and ask them to deal with others. We should be able to buy ourselves a week's worth of time for now.”

Anastasia was unusually clear-headed after calming down. She looked toward Lily, asking, “Is one week enough?”

Lily nodded affirmatively after seeing Anastasia’s beseeching and expectant look. “Yes, I’ll help him regain consciousness within a week.”

“Really?” Anastasia was excited as she had complete trust in Lily. After all, Anastasia had suffered from her physical condition for many years, yet Lily managed to help Anastasia gradually break free from her suffering.

The young lady believed Lily could help her father too.

Lily sighed and said ruefully, “It’s a shame Rhea died. If not, it would be much easier to trap her into telling us what toxin Secretary Rollins has in his body.”

With Rhea dead, Cameron was no longer under her control. However, they had also lost a source of information. Alexander looked at his wife and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he curled them into a resigned smile and remained silent instead.

It was dark by the time the two left the house. Anastasia insisted on staying by Cameron’s side to care for him. After getting into the car, Lily asked Alexander, “Did you want to say something in the room?”
