"Okay, let's say he changed. What are you planning to do next? Are you going to cut him off?" Lily knew Anastasia was fuming with
anger, so she played along.
"Yeah! Who cares! I'm not scared of him!" Anastasia retorted.
Lily instinctively laughed when she heard that. "It's not a question of whether or not you're afraid. It's a question of your
reluctance."
"l...of course, | am willing to! There's nothing to be reluctant about!"
"Silly girl! It's just a dispute. Besides, adults will always weigh the pros and cons before they act. Of course, I'm not dismissing your
importance, but maybe your father had other things to reconsider. Maybe he isn't brushing you off. Maybe he's just pushing it
aside for now," Lily said.

To be frank, she had no idea what was happening with Cameron. Even if she was not there and did not see anything, Anastasia's
story sounded too strange. Still, things were more complex than they seemed.
Lily had met Cameron several times before. She could see the love he had for Anastasia. On top of that, Alexander also mentioned
the type of person Cameron was. He would not strike a deal to benefit himself, let alone if it involved his favorite daughter.
Something fishy may have been going on, or maybe Cameron had other plans.
"What are the pros and cons? Am | just a trade-off? Isn't he just giving up on me?!" Anastasia did not understand all this. All she
knew was that her father had chosen to give her up to learn slaboratory secrets.
"That's not the case. Your father has protected you well. There are many things you don't know! Things are sometimes different
from what it seems. Whatever it is, you should calm down and think about how he has treated you all these years. Is he someone
who only cares for his own interest? Think about it. You're the only one who knows the answer to that."
After that, Lily added, "Don't make rash decisions when you're angry. Those are often the decisions you'll regret in the future."
Anastasia eventually calmed down after hearing this. She no longer felt as sad or as angry. Instead, she was just disappointed.
"Okay, | understand. Thanks, Lily." She sounded a lot better, and she was not crying anymore.
Lily nodded before asking again, "How have you been? Are you taking the herbs | prescribed for you?"
"Yes. | followed your instructions and haven't missed a single meal. | feel much better about my body and have also been losing
weight. I've been in a good mood so far until today."
After a sigh, she seemed to be able to lift her spirits again as she said, "Don't worry. I've thought things through and won't argue
with my father now. I'll wait. | believe what you said, and | believe my father!"
"That's the spirit!" After comforting her, Lily noticed that Greg was rushing toward her. Her heart immediately dropped. "I have to

With that, she hung up and went up to Greg. "What's wrong?"
"He vomited blood," he said.
Lily was shocked and quickly ran toward the cabin.
When Austin opened his eyes again, he thought he was in hell. However, as his eyes adjusted to the light, he realized he was
staring at a white-washed ceiling.
'Why is hell white? Am I...in heaven? Is this the hospital?’
As he continued to question himself, he heard the sound of a door opening. Soon, someone entered and stood before him.
