Why was he crying? Was she dead?
Anastasia wanted to respond, but she just couldn’t get the words out. Just then, the life monitor hooked
up to her started blaring. Doctors rushed in from all corners of the hospital. Anastasia’s condition was
deteriorating.

monitor could shatter his fragile

unconscious?”
“I told you before, Anastasia is the most important person to Herman. With this happening, he’s

As Collin walked towards the ward, he added, “I also heard that the car crash was deliberate.”
Hearing this, Julie suddenly felt uneasy. “Deliberate? Did they find out who did it?”
Collin asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly so interested in this?”
Julie tried to hide her discomfort, laughing it off. “I just can’t believe it. Anastasia must have pissed off a
