There was a knock on the door, and Anastasia's voice sounded outside, "Dad."
Cameron took a breath and said, "Come in."
Anastasia opened the door and entered with a tray with a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes.
"Dad, I got the kitchen to cook some porridge and a few side dishes. You can have it later." After a pause, she continued, "You just woke up, so you can't eat greasy food. These are just very mild dishes."
"Okay." He nodded. He was indeed a little hungry. When she put the food down, he immediately straightened up and picked up the porridge before sipping it slowly.
Alexander nodded to her slightly and headed out the door to answer his phone.
"Dad, how are you feeling?" Anastasia sat down next to the bed and looked at Cameron with concern.
Cameron nodded with a slight smile. "Much better. It must’ve been a lot for you throughout this time."
"No, it's nothing," she sincerely replied, shaking her head. Although tired and worried, she knew her father had it more challenging over the years.
With the high position he held, not only did he face more difficulties than his daughter, he was concerned with making money and caring for her. Yet, she had never heard him complain or say he was tired. He had always been patient.
Cameron did not say a word when his daughter’s body and personality started to change. Instead, Anastasia was the one who blamed her father for not caring about her enough and not spending enough time with her.
