Cameron did not have much strength as he weakly raised his eyes. However, his frigid look was enough to shut Fabian up immediately and even made him subconsciously straighten up. Fabian suddenly had a bad feeling in his gut.
"It must have been hard on you the past few days that I'm down," Cameron said lightly. His tone was lazy and somewhat tired.
Fabian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his brother-in-law’s praises. He said smilingly, "It's nothing! It's what I should do! We are a family, after all. Ron, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable? I think we should go to the hospital. Since you're awake now, we can go to the military hospital.
“The hospital there is good, and I'm sure their treatment is also on par. It's better to go there than to be a lab rat for these people," he said as he glanced at Alexander pointedly.
"Did some animals come into the house when I was asleep?" Cameron turned to Anastasia and asked gently after taking a breath.
She frowned. "No. Uncle Fabian, he…"
Fabian was about to jump in and defend himself when he heard Cameron say, "Really? I thought I heard some dogs barking. I also heard something about being ungrateful. Who's ungrateful?"
At this point, Fabian fell silent. Anastasia looked back and pursed her lips before laughing. "Dad, I'm the ungrateful one."
It seemed that Cameron had heard everything. That way, it saved Anastasia the trouble of explaining herself.
"Oh?" He frowned, looking at her in confusion before solemnly asking, "Why are you ungrateful? Who said you're ungrateful?"
"It's—" Before she could finish her sentence, Fabian laughed and interjected, "No, Ron, you've misheard it. I think Tasia misunderstood me as well. That's not what I meant. I said that if Tasia doesn't rush you to the hospital with your current condition and continues to listen to these outsiders, she will be seen as ungrateful," he explained in a panic, wiping his sweat.
Then he felt that his reasoning made sense and nodded. "Yeah, that's what I meant! That was what I tried to say!"
Anastasia just smiled quietly. From what she noticed, it seemed her father was out of his trance, and she had him back. He was no longer under Rhea's manipulation.
She felt relieved and did not feel the need to explain herself. Her father knew right from wrong. Her uncle's words would never fool him.
"Oh, I see." Cameron tried to support himself as he sat up. Anastasia hurried over to help but was also not strong enough to help. Ultimately, Alexander helped Cameron up and put a cushion behind him.
Cameron adjusted the cushion before sitting in a comfortable position. Then he looked at Alexander before turning his gaze to Fabian. Cameron's fists clenched as he coughed lightly before looking at the men behind Fabian.
Those people were still waiting at the door for the next order and did not come in.
"What are these people doing here?" Cameron raised his chin, pointing to the door.
Fabian was startled and looked back to see what he was referring to. "Ron, these are my men. They're here to take you to the hospital. Look, why don't we go now?"
