Regardless of whether or not those were just words to comfort her, Anastasia felt a lot better.
Alexander was right. The last time Lily came, she said Cameron had gotten poisoned and even took out the silver needle Rhea had used to control him in front of Anastasia. Then Lily told Alexander to give Cameron an antidote. If Cameron were unsavable, she would not have done these things.
‘Is this genuinely a normal reaction when it comes to expelling toxins? Am I overthinking?’
Just as she thought about this, a loud sound came from downstairs. Although Fabian had not entered the door yet, his loud voice preceded him. "Be careful when you carry him later. Watch your heads, and don't fall.
“As for what happened today, keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?!" He yelled sharply, with an arrogant look on his face.
Then a group of unruly voices sounded. "Got it!"
Both Anastasia and Alexander were speechless to hear that.
‘Is this what Fabian meant when he said he left to find a few reliable people and that they wouldn't spread the news?’
With such a large group of people, the news would spread like wildfire as soon as Cameron left the house. Fabian was too simple-minded. It was no wonder his business never grew.
Soon, he stepped through the door and asked, “How's everything? Is your father still coughing?"
Anastasia looked nervous and did not know what to answer. There were still tears in her eyes, but she sounded much calmer. “My dad is fine.”
