His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1774

“What a joke! Why would I deceive you? What good would that do?” Anastasia scoffed, then looked around at the men Fabian had brought to her house. “Uncle Fabian, I know how you feel, but you have barged in with this many people.

“Have you considered how we feel? If my father is unwell, could you come in so effortlessly? Besides, even if I’m lying to you and my father isn’t around, he would eventually return home.

“What do you think he’ll do when he finds out what you’ve done today?” Her casual remark made Fabian shiver, and a chill ran up his spine.

Cameron’s icy eyes flashed through his mind, and he sobered up a bit. Fabian subconsciously stepped back, then hesitated and looked suspiciously at Anastasia, thinking before saying, “Is your father truly sick? What kind of illness does he have?”

Anastasia bit her lower lip and said, “He has overworked himself, so he feels weak and needs to rest.”

“Really?” Fabian then asked, “Has he seen a doctor yet? Which hospital has he visited? Are their services reliable? If not, we should take him to another hospital before his condition worsens.”

As he seemed to want to go upstairs again, Anastasia hastily said, “He went to the doctor he always sees, so the person is very reliable. Don’t forget who my father is. He doesn’t just go to any hospital.”

“That’s true, but I won’t take him to any random doctor, okay?” He cleared his throat and continued, “Since I’m already here, I should see your father. I shouldn’t just leave without seeing him, am I right?”

He was still suspicious and felt that Anastasia was up to something. Fabian had not seen Cameron for days, and his calls could not go through. Fabian heard that others could not meet Cameron either, and rumors claimed he was dying after an assault.

Some even said Cameron had gone missing, while others alleged he had gotten arrested for a crime. Still, news about Cameron had yet to go public.

Rhea’s death was already a massive blow to Fabian, and he felt further disturbed hearing such rumors.

‘How can I leave before finding out what’s happening?’

“Uncle Fabian…” Anastasia frowned. “My father says he’s not seeing anyone. Are you truly not going to listen to him?”

Fabian cleared his throat and looked behind him. Then he slowly turned to face Anastasia. “Girl, I’m not an outsider or one of those busybodies. Have you heard the rumors about your father going around lately because he hasn’t shown himself?”

He lowered his voice and came closer when he said the last sentence.

Anastasia pursed her lips and did not reply.

Fabian’s eyes shifted as he said, “Of course, I would never believe those groundless gossips, but your father is my brother-in-law. I’m sure he wouldn’t blame me if I visited him now that he’s sick.

“Or if you have anything you can’t tell others, why not share it with me? I might be able to give you some advice.”

Anastasia had heard about the rumors. She noticed her uncle would not give up and glanced at the men in the living room before looking back at Fabian. She said smilingly, “Do you sincerely want to see my father?”
