His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1961

The house was so quiet that one might think no one was inside. Alexander stood in the living room for a minute before Anastasia

cdownstairs—she had lost so much weight that he could not recognize her initially.

Anastasia was wearing a black dress and slippers as she greeted him, “Hey, Alex.”

“Where's your father?”

“My father is still resting,” she whispered, gesturing as she glanced upstairs.

Alexander was puzzled. “Resting?”

‘It's unusual for Cameron to be resting at this hour.”

Alexander knew she used the sexcuse to turn away visitors when her father was unwell. Hence, he wondered why Cameron

was still resting now that the toxins had been removed from the latter.

“Why are you visiting us so suddenly?” Anastasia asked and gestured for him to take a seat. However, she was strangely reserved

and did not tell the servant to serve him drinks.

Since Alexander was usually observant, he knew something was amiss but could not figure out what or why. He asked, “Did

something happen?”

“No.” Anastasia shrugged it off with a smile. “Besides my father feeling weak and needing more rest, everything is fine. Anyway, |

must thank you and Lily. If it weren't for you guys, my father’s toxin wouldn't have been removed so soon.”

She tried to smile and sound light-hearted, but there was uneasiness in her eyes.

Alexander knitted his brows and carefully observed the place.

“So why are you here? My father has been feeling weak and might not wake up anytsoon. How about you tellwhat it's

about, and I'll convey your message to him later?” she continued.

Instead of replying to her question, Alexander asked, “Many of your servants aren't around. Besides that, your father seems to

have dismissed his personal guards, right?”

Hearing this, Anastasia glanced left and right and chuckled. “Yeah, we think we overworked our servants before this, so after my

father regained consciousness, he told them to take turns going hto rest. As for the guards... now that my father has cto,

he no longer needs that many.”

“I see.” Nodding thoughtfully, Alexander nodded thoughtfully and gazed at Anastasia deeply.

The latter felt uncomfortable and pulled at the helm of her dress before repeating her question, “So, what brings you here?”

Alexander nodded. “I'm here for something important. | must tell Cameron in person, and it can’t wait. I'll go and see him now.

Wake him up, please.”

“Nol”

Anastasia realized her exclamation shocked Alexander. She caught herself and smacked her hand to her mouth as she revealed an

embarrassed smile. “M-My father has been weak and hates being disturbed during his sleep. He'll lose his temper.

“When he was sleeping two days ago, | woke him up to ask him if he wanted to eat anything, and he got angry and toldnot

ever to disturb him no matter what when he’s asleep. So | think...” she paused, “it’s best not to do so.”

Alexander raised his brow. “I see. But I'm not afraid of him losing his temper since | have something urgent to tell him. I'm ready to

bear the consequences.”

Then he ran upstairs.

‘No! This doesn’t feel right at all!”

Alexander sensed something terribly wrong when Cameron did not answer his calls, even before entering the house.
