Chapter 1595
’I'm here!" Rhea called out, coming into the living room before he could finish talking.
As weird as it sounded, the manic Cameron immediately calmed down when he saw her. He did not
seem as irritable and anxious as before. He was looking straight at her. "Rhea..."
"Uncle Cameron, I just remembered I have something to discuss with you about the lab again. I need
to talk to you!" She said and walked straight into the study.
With a nod, Cameron quickly followed her in.
Fabian was stunned by what he saw. Just as he was about to follow them, Rhea stopped him. "This is
a secret between Uncle Cameron and me!"
Fabian was a little displeased to hear this. After all, he was her father, and there should be no secrets
between the two. Moreover, Fabian was responsible for the vaccine development project. However, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdid not dare to object.
He could see that Cameron seemed to only listen to Rhea. Although Fabian did not know what trick
she pulled on him, it did not matter. As long as it benefited him, he did not have to know the secret.
On the other hand, Anastasia felt differently from him. She had been sitting on the sidelines, eating and
watching the scene unfold.
Recently, she felt that her father had been acting strangely, yet she could not pinpoint what was wrong.
Cameron still went and got off work as usual. He seemed to be at home more often now but seldom
talked to her, and each interaction with her was indifferent.
He would spend most of his time sitting in a daze, seeming like his mind was somewhere else.
Whenever Anastasia asked about it, his only reply was, "nothing."
There would be occasional manic episodes like just now too. Although Anastasia felt that her father
had changed, Lily's reminder lingered. After thinking it through, it seemed like Cameron was not that
kind of person.
Is my father sick? Like me?’
However, the moment Rhea entered the door, everything changed. Cameron's eyes lit up when he saw
her, and he obeyed her like a loyal dog.
Seeing that the two were about to enter the study again, Anastasia chased after them and grabbed him
by the arm. "Dad, don't go!"
"Let go!" Cameron was annoyed. His face immediately scrunched up into a frown, unhappy that his
daughter was stopping him.
"Dad, I don't understand what's so secretive that the rest of us can’t hear it. If you’re going in, I'll follow
you!" She said half coquettishly as she shook his arm.
In the past, Cameron would immediately soften up and listen to her if she acted like this, even when he
was angry. However, the trick did not work this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFaced with her coquettishness, Cameron looked highly disgusted. He seemed to have run out of
patience and swung his arm violently. "Let go!"
Anastasia did not expect him to be so rough. With his strength, she staggered back and stared at him
in shock. "Dad?!"
"Anastasia, you shouldn't show your attitude like that. Uncle Cameron and I are discussing serious
matters. This isn't a game. You're just a princess in a castle where you'd get food prepared for you. All
you do is eat and enjoy your blissful life. You won't understand anything."
Rhea's words were harsh, but Cameron did not defend Anastasia. Instead, he urged, "Don't waste your
time talking to her. Let's go!"
Anastasia was in disbelief as she watched the two enter the study, and the door slammed shut before
her eyes. She had been trying to convince herself that her father had not changed and that he was just
doing business. However, it was getting harder to believe.
'Is this indifferent and heartless man really my father?’
