“The toxin within his body caused that,” Alexander said, “He looks no different than an ordinary patient on the surface, but the harm could be long-lasting.”
In other words, Cameron’s body was using up its stored energy, fat, muscles, and blood, and he would die upon total depletion.
Of course, that was what Lily told Alexander. As she was rushing, Lily seemed to have said whatever came haphazardly to her mind. Still, Alexander had such a vital comprehension skill that he roughly understood what she was saying after digesting it.
Although he did know much about herbal medicine, he knew its fundamental principles.
“Then what should we do?” What he said alarmed Anastasia. She could hardly contain her emotions and grabbed his sleeve. “Please save my father. I can’t let anything happen to him!”
She was fighting back her tears.
As her mother died early, her father was the one who raised her. Although he had not spent much time with her, she knew he loved her. Anastasia used to think he was seldom there for her growing up, but she later realized she could not have her cake and eat it too.
It was difficult for her father to make a living while keeping her company. Besides, he had never mistreated her besides lack of companionship.
Before she could repay him as a daughter, he had suddenly ended up like this. If anything happened to him, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
“Don’t worry. I came to fix this today.” Alexander casually pulled his sleeve off Anastasia’s hand and kept a slight distance away. Besides Lily, he was not used to being physically close to other women. Even unintentional touches would make him feel uncomfortable.
