Chapter 2166

“Okay,” Anastasia nodded and leaned into her father’s shoulder, asking, “So where’s Rhea now?”

“Alex took her away since she might have some valuable information. Perhaps she can use this opportunity to redeem herself.” Cameron knew what Alexander and the others were doing and did not object.

After all, Rhea had worked for the organization for a long time. Simultaneously, Cameron hoped she would mend her ways and make up for what she did. However, he knew the odds were low.

“I never thought so many horrible things would happen around me.” Gazing ahead, Anastasia said sadly, “If I hadn’t gotten infected, I wouldn’t have realized how scary the virus is.”

Her words reminded Cameron of what she had been through. “Are you sure you’re feeling okay now?

Sit up and let me look at you.”

Anastasia spread her arms, saying, “I’m okay, see? They wouldn’t have discharged me if I was still sick. Besides, they gave me a thorough examination at the hospital. Not only am I cured—I also feel better than before!”

Seeing her spirited look, Cameron felt relieved. He said with concern, “I’m so happy you’re okay. For now, try not to go out so much, okay?”

Anastasia blinked. “Why? Did something happen?”

“Stop asking so much and just listen to Dad, okay? It’s for your good.” Cameron smiled to lighten the mood, but it felt forced.

Anastasia fell silent, then nodded. “Okay, Dad. I’ll do as you say.”

In the past, she could never understand why her father was always so busy and secretive. She also did not like him coming and going on short notice. She envied Rhea because her father was often home like all good dads.

As Anastasia got older, she knew her father had tried his best to keep her company. Furthermore, he could not reveal much to her due to the nature of his job. Therefore, she obeyed when Cameron told her not to ask him so many questions.

Cameron looked at his daughter and felt she had become a mature and sensible young lady. He was delighted.

His phone rang, and he glanced down at it before checking his watch. Suddenly, his expression turned severe.

“Dad, are you leaving again?” Anastasia understood her father’s expression and let go of his arm.

“Now?”

Surprised, Cameron glanced at his arm and then back at her. He smiled and nodded. “Yes, I have to go. I’m so sorry, Tasia.”
