Alexander entered the hospital wearing a hazmat suit.
Anastasia had already received emergency treatment, and the doctor diagnosed her condition as not severe.
The doctor mentioned that her symptoms resulted from long-standing obesity and complications. Although she had lost weight, the doctor considered her overweight, and her cold and fever weakened her.
After receiving intravenous treatment, the nurses transferred Anastasia to the VIP war. No one else was in the quiet ward beside her.
Alexander told his men to ensure it so that he would not come in contact with other people. He also did not want others to know about what was happening.
Anastasia was on IV drips as she lay in bed, eyes closed, seemingly asleep. Alexander stood by the bed and studied her face quietly. Her face was pale, and her lips were dry. She looked dehydrated, with red spots on her skin.
The doctor said the fever caused the spots, but Alexander instinctively knew that was false. Although he was not a doctor, he had encountered enough cases to know that Anastasia’s symptoms were not from a common cold or fever.
Anastasia frowned and slowly opened her eyes, probably due to the drugs. However, she was still in a daze and closed her eyes again.
She opened them again after a while and realized where she was. When her gaze returned to Alexander, she screamed, “Ah!”
“It’s me,” Alexander said calmly, knowing no one could hear them. He had his men clear the surroundings, and none would see them either.
Anastasia was surprised that the voice sounded familiar and stopped screaming. She also noticed her scream did not attract any attention. Not even a footstep was audible outside. She stared at the man in the hazmat suit and saw his eyes.
After a moment’s hesitation, she tentatively called out, “Alex?”
Alexander nodded. “Yeah. Sorry to show up like this. How are you feeling now?”
“I…” Confused, Anastasia caught herself. “Where am I? Why am I… oh, I’m in a hospital?”
Her memory returned to her.
