Chapter 1824
"Oh, no..." Anxious and sad, Anastasia looked over her shoulder at Alexander.
'Try dissolving it in some water,” Alexander said after some thought.
Anastasia caught on and hastily got up to fill a glass of water at the dispenser. She put the pill inside,
then saw the brown color diffuse as the pill slowly dissolved.
"It wouldn't affect the pill’s potency, would it?" Anastasia asked hesitantly, worrying the slightest mistake
would weaken the medicine and stall her father's recovery.
Alexander did not answer and looked pensive.

She called out to him, "Alex?"
Alexander caught himself. "Hold on. Let me make a call."
He turned around and called Lily on his phone.
The truth was that Anastasia had made him think twice. After all, he had not considered whether or not
it would make a difference if the pill got dissolved before consumption.
He understood the effect would be about the same whether the pill dissolved or swallowed whole. Still,
he was not a doctor and hesitated when Anastasia questioned him. For safety's sake, he thought it
best to consult Lily. Besides, he also worried about her safety and wanted to ask how she was doing.
However, he called a few times without getting a response and could not help but worry.
It was risky for her to go there, and he knew she might be unable to answer her phone. Somewhat
anxious, he redialed the number and lowered his head, his gaze falling onto the water dispenser
diagonally ahead.
The water container let out a slight gurgle as it silently boiled the water. Before Alexander could get a
response over the phone, a commotion came from outside.
It was rather loud, and Alexander looked toward Anastasia, who let out an impatient look while holding
the pill. "Don’t worry about that. Someone must be trying to see my father again." Anastasia had grown
accustomed to people coming over requesting to see Cameron.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, these people behaved out of respect for Cameron, but as time passed, without any sign of him,
rumors began to spread. Some gradually grew uneasy and tried every which way to probe around.
"Is Lily still not picking up her phone? Is she okay?" Anastasia grew worried when she saw Alexander's
expression.
Alexander hung up and frowned at her, then looked at Cameron, whose eyes were shut. He did not
look well, and his face started to turn dark. If they waited any longer, it might be too late.
"Let me try." He quickly decided, then strode over and took the pill from Anastasia's hand. Pinching
Cameron's cheeks, he exerted more strength to open his mouth.
Anastasia looked on anxiously.
Alexander was stronger and swifter. As Cameron opened his mouth, Alexander immediately pushed
the pill inside, then closed Cameron's jaw and tilted his head back with lightning speed.
