Chapter 540
Frica was stunned. For whom did Alex withdraw the 40,000? Not only that, but it pained her that he had withdrawn
such a large amount at one go. However, recalling that he needed the money urgently to feast the clients or
something, she had no choice but to suppress her displeasure.
Unbeknownst to her, however, the 40,000 was delivered to Hayley’s hands as soon as it was withdrawn by Alex.
Seeing the stack of notes on the desk, she hugged Alex happily. “Alex, thank you for always having me on your
mind.”
Alex replied, “I can’t let you suffer, after all.” He was really in love with Hayley, whose gentleness and adoration for
him made him feel needed. Furthermore, he liked her pretty looks. Her features, which somewhat resembled
Anastasia’s, often fascinated him.
Meanwhile, Erica drove back to her home when she suddenly saw the man from last time-her biological father-
standing by the wall next to the gate. Startled, she immediately got out of her car. “What are you doing here? Who
gave you the permission to show up here?” She showed no respect for him, as if chasing a beggar away.

cash here.”
Erica was filled with disgust. She replied with a sneer, “Who told you that you’re my dad? Get out of my face! I don’t
want to see you at all! How could you ask me for money again after I gave you over 10,000 just a few days ago?
Are you taking me for an ATM machine?”
However, the man had found out about the Tillman Family’s background. “How could you have no money? Francis
Tillman is rich; he’s got a big company and owns assets of over a billion! What about your mom?”
At this very moment, Erica hated Naomi somewhat. Why would the latter choose such a low class man to be her
father? He was nothing but a useless good-for-nothing. “That’s the Tillman Family’s money. What does it have to do
with you?”

“You’re the Tillman Family’s second daughter, so you definitely have money. I don’t need much, Erica. Just give me
another 20,000, and I promise I won’t show up again!”
Upon hearing that, Erica immediately believed him. “Really? You won’t show up again?”
“You’re my daughter. Now that you’re doing well, I’m glad about it. I won’t show up and disturb you and your
mother.”
Erica happened to have 20,000 in her bag, which she had just withdrawn from her bank account. Upon hearing his
words, she took out her bag and produced a stack of notes from it before handing it to him. “Hide as far away as
possible, and don’t let me see you again.”
The man’s face lit up with pleasure as he took the money. “Sure.”
Upon seeing this, however, Erica felt even more disgusted. She even found herself dirty for having the man’s blood
running in her veins. How she wished she were Francis’ daughter, just like Anastasia! However, as long as no one
uncovered her parentage, she would still be Francis second daughter and the second young lady of the Tillman
Family. Inwardly, she was determined to
keep this a secret for life.
However, she didn’t know that her parentage was no longer a secret. Mrs. Garner, the servant of her home, had
learned about it.
Meanwhile, at the Presgrave Hospital, Anastasia learned of another piece of good news that night. Francis’ brain
waves had begun to show a response. The response wasn’t strong, but this was nonetheless a piece of great news.
It meant that Francis might regain consciousness.

up, upon which the story about his will would fall apart. All of those who attempted to steal the Tillman Family’s
wealth would never get away with it.
It was already well past midnight, but Anastasia was sleepless with excitement, so she came outside Francis’ ward
again and sat down. After sitting there for a while, she saw Elliot coming over with a jacket in his arms and a glass
of water in his hand.
Both the glass of water and the jacket were intended for her. Her heart warmed as she held the glass of water with
both hands and smiled with the jacket that was full of his scent draped over her shoulders. “Why are you still
awake?”
Elliot sat beside her, keeping her company. “I’m sleepless like you. I’m very happy, too.”
“But you’ve got tons of work awaiting you tomorrow, whereas I can be lazy and sleep,” Anastasia replied, feeling
sorry for him.
Elliot leaned slightly closer to her with an intense look in his eyes. “I can’t sleep unless you’re sleeping with me in
my arms.”
