"Cough, cough, cough..."
The light cough was nothing compared to the violent ones before this. It sounded like an ordinary cough instead. Still, it was
enough to stop Fabian and look toward the sound.
"Dad?" Anastasia turned her head toward her father's voice as well.
She was pleasantly surprised to see that her father, who had been sleeping with his eyes tightly closed, was slowly opening his
eyes. Although his brows remained slightly furrowed, and he was still coughing, he was still conscious.
"Dad?!" She called out again with uncertainty. Although she wanted him to be conscious again, she feared he would still be under
Rhea's control and would treat her indifferently, continuing to listen to her uncle.

Anastasia was hesitant. She was joyful yet nervous, cautious yet excited.
Cameron exhaled and responded softly, "Yes."
Although it was just a word, it gave Anastasia life.
"Daddy!" Anastasia cried out in surprise as she pounced on him, hugging his neck with both arms just as she did when she was a
child. She was laughing and crying at the stime. "Dad, you're awake! You're finally awake! That's great!"
Cameron coughed several more times after being strangled, and his breathing becmuch heavier.
"Tasia, don't get too excited. You're choking your father," Alexander said from the sidelines.
Although he had not been saying much, he had observed the changes in Cameron's face. His face almost turned purple from his
violent coughs, but now he had gradually eased up. He was no longer as pale as before.
His breathing also seemed much calmer, and his eyes seemed more alert. Alexander knew Cameron should be waking up soon.
Still, he did not expect Cameron to wake up just as Fabian was about to act impulsively.
Anastasia returned to her senses and calmed down after hearing Alexander's reminder. She hurriedly let go of her father, saying,
“Dad, I'm sorry. I'm just so happy! How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Cameron coughed a few more times before turning to look at her. "Silly girl, why are you crying?"
"N-No, I'm not!" She wiped her tears with the back of her hands and laughed. "Dad, I'm so glad you're awake! I'm so glad you

"What are you saying? How can | not recognize you?" Cameron smiled. He raised his hand as if wanting to wipe her tears but was
too weak. Ultimately, his hand frailly dropped to the side again.
Before it finished dropping, Anastasia grabbed it and brought it to her cheek. "Dad, I'm so glad that you're awake!"
"That's right, Ron! We're glad that you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort? | think we should still go to the hospital first. After
going through professional care, I'm sure you'll get better.
“The doctors would've cured you long ago if you had been sent to the hospital earlier. There's no need to delay it further," Fabian
said smilingly, "Ron, look, I've brought smen to take you to the hospital. How about we go now?"
Cameron raised his eyes and looked at him.
