Chapter 1717
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"But my father refuses to see anyone!" Anastasia said anxiously, "He doesnât want to see me either.That's why I was able to let you guys in behind his back."
Lily nodded.
"Then all the more reason to meet him."
The young lady hesitated.
"Since you want your father to get well soon, how will I know what drug heâs been given without seeing him?" Lily added.
Anastasia thought about it and was successfully persuaded.
"Come with me!" She opened the door to the empty corridor.
The house was so quiet that it was eerie.
They went downstairs and stopped outside the study room.
Anastasia turned and gestured for them to be quiet, then whispered.
"My father usually stays inside for a long time and doesnât allow anyone to disturb him.Sometimes, he doesnât even eat."
She was worried but knew she had no other way.
Inclining her head slightly, Lily wanted to say something before hearing a stern voice from inside the room ask, "Who is it?"
Anastasiaâs shoulders shuddered, but she still spoke.
"Dad, itâs me!"
"F*ck off!"
His blunt response came readily.
Cameron would never act like this in the past.
Although he looked serious and strict, he doted on Anastasia and would not be so vulgar to her.
Anastasia, who appeared accustomed to being yelled at, said obstinately, "Dad, two of my friends would like to see you.Can I open the door and come in?"
"Tell them to f*ck off as well!" His reply was still brusque, even in the presence of the guests.
"Dad, theyâre your friends too.They're here to help you!"
Anastasia pleaded, hoping to persuade him.
She had attempted to turn the doorknob, but she was unable to do so because the door was locked from the inside.
"I donât need help.Go away!"
Although she could not see him, Lily could hear him breathing hard and erratically.She let out a slight frown and took a step forward.
"Secretary Rollins, do you feel a headache and a pricking pain three inches below your ribs? Also, do you have difficulty breathing occasionally?"She got no response, but the man did not tell them to leave either.Surprised, Anastasia turned to look at Lily.
"Lily, how did you..."
Before she could finish, the door opened.Cameron stood at the doorway with a stiff face and a fierce gaze.He first stared at Anastasia, then at the two behind her, slowly scanning them from top to bottom before asking in a low voice, "What the f*ck do you guys want?"
"Dad, they are here to help you!"
Anastasia hurriedly said.
Holding her arm, Lily stopped her and said, "Iâm here to congratulate you, Secretary Rollins."
Baffled, Anastasia looked at her over her shoulder.
