His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1830

Fabian softened his tone when speaking to Anastasia this time.

Anastasia responded coldly, “Don’t you know what kind of people these so-called famous doctors are? Besides, don’t forget how I ended up like this. Let’s not bring that up ever again.”

The mention of these doctors reminded her of Rhea and how she ended up like this.

‘If it weren’t for my cousin, I wouldn’t have needed doctors. Yet Aunt Maria thought she was doing me a favor. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke!’

Fabian was stumped and knew he and his wife were in the wrong. He pursed his lips, still not giving up, as he glanced at the corpse-like Cameron and pointed at him. “Fine! You say you believe them and that your father has taken the pill Alexander delivered, but why is he not getting any better?”

Anastasia’s eyes followed where Fabian pointed and looked at her father. Although she said nothing, she was anxious. She had waited for too long. Anastasia was about to lose faith if he still could not wake up.

Fabian noticed her being quiet and thought he was right. Then he smugly added, “As you can see, I’m not trying to create trouble, but I’m more experienced and better at discerning people’s characters.

“After all, this man is an outsider and can’t be sincere in helping you and your father. If anything were to happen, only we would get affected, not him. Don’t you understand that? I’ll get your father a good doctor and guarantee they can cure him.

“Your father doesn’t look poisoned, and he’s just ill. Don’t let others deceive you!” Fabian took two steps forward and thought about something. Then he looked over his shoulder at Alexander. “You can leave now, Mr. Russell.

“However, let me give you a word of advice. Since Tasia has naively trusted you, ensure you don’t tell others about this. If word gets out, then it must be…” Before he finished, he heard a very slight cough.

It was so soft that one might miss it if not nearby. Meanwhile, Anastasia’s full attention was on her father. Being the first to respond, she stared at Cameron’s face in surprise, then said cautiously, “D-Did my father just cough?”

“I guess?” Fabian was unsure. He was not paying attention, trying to persuade Anastasia to side with him instead of Alexander.

However, Alexander was. “He did!”

The trio hurried to the bed and leaned over to look at Cameron. He showed no movement as if he had not coughed just now. He looked calm, but his breathing was still labored.

After around 30 seconds, there was still nothing, and Fabian grew impatient. He straightened up, saying, “I think you misheard! Besides, even if he was coughing, it could be a reflex that didn’t mean anything, or he could be getting worse.

“Let’s not delay any further. I’ll find a trustworthy doctor. Tasia, you—” As Fabian waved to instruct Anastasia, Cameron started to cough violently.
