His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1778

Fabian wondered whether or not Cameron was still approachable and whether or not he would still have his back. Fabian was surprised to face such a situation. He slowly lowered his phone-holding hand in response to Anastasia's words and hesitated. “Then…”

“Uncle Fabian, I’ve kept this from everyone because I’m worried. I've got no idea how far along the project is or whether it would be affected now that Rhea has suddenly passed away,” she said, placing her hand on Fabian’s hand. “Still, we’re family, Uncle Fabian. You must help me keep this a secret.”

Her suddenly pressing the back of his hand startled him, and he became flustered.

“Until when? People will find out sooner or later!” He hesitated but seemed open to the idea.

“As long as we can.” Anastasia added, “I’m trying to find a cure for my father. When he wakes up, we’ll have nothing to worry about, and I’ll tell my father you helped us get through this difficult time.”

Hearing this, Fabian was tempted. ‘If I help her and Cameron get through this, they’d owe me big time! He’d have to treat me as his benefactor then, wouldn’t he?’

With Rhea dead, he was unsure whether he could continue to cash in on his relationship with Cameron. He did not even know if Cameron would give him the cold shoulder like he used to.

‘However, if I help them now, Cameron can no longer snub me, can he? Even if he does, I can threaten him with this!’

As his thoughts ran wild, Anastasia could tell he was tempted and called out softly, “Uncle Fabian? Uncle Fabian?”

Catching himself, Fabian cleared his throat and said, “Of course, I’m your uncle, and as a family, we should help one another. However…

“However, how long will your father be in this state? Can he truly wake up? Where are you going to get the cure? Can we rely on it? Otherwise, I should get a trustworthy doctor to come and check on him.” He wondered if his efforts would go to waste if Cameron did not wake up.

“Well, rest assured the doctor I found is reliable, and my father used to go to him. The fewer people know about it, the better, to avoid complications. When my father helped you secure the project, he offended some people, and if they know my father…”

Knitting his brow, Fabian felt she was right.

“All right! However, I can only help you keep it a secret for two days. If he doesn’t wake up in two days, we’ll have to devise other solutions!” He said this as he looked at Cameron, whose eyes were closed, and was secretly excited.

Anastasia nodded with a thankful look. “He will, Uncle Fabian! However, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Please don’t tell Aunt Maria, or she’ll worry.”

“I know what to do.” Fabian dismissed her with a wave of his hand before looking thoughtfully at her. “Tasia, why do I feel that you’re different than you used to be?”
