Chapter 561
“Thank you.” Anastasia thanked Elliot.
“I’d have to punish you if I hear you say those words again.” As he tugged her arm, she fell into his arms, and
shortly after, she felt his arms around her waist.
“There’s no need for you to thank me since that’s the least I can do for my fiancee.” He pecked on her red lips right
after that.
Their public display of affection caught the attention of a few nurses that walked past them. All of them blushed as
they were captivated by his domineering disposition, which they found mesmerizing. They were envious of
Anastasia’s beauty and how lucky she was to end up with someone like Elliot. She must have done a lot of good
deeds in her previous life to deserve him.
After Anastasia found out that they were being watched, she blushed as she buried her head into his chest and

As Elliot tilted his head down and looked at the girl in his arms, he couldn’t help but kiss the crown of her head.
“Since your father is awake, we could discuss our marriage.”
“There’s no rush for that.” She blinked her eyes.
He leaned in and whispered in her ear, “But I can’t wait any longer.”
Upon hearing his affectionate confession, she pursed her lips to hold her laughter. “There’s nothing you can do
even if you’re impatient.”
“You’re heartless.” He sighed, feeling disappointed.
“Alright, we shall discuss it after my dad’s condition improves.” She giggled.
“Sure.” He nodded.
Meanwhile, in a public hospital by the seaside, Wanda, who almost drowned, woke up on the same day. She lay on
the bed, still in a state of shock from her near-death experience. Her face, was as pale as a sheet.
“Erica, I won’t let you go. I will let Francis know about your true identity, and I look forward to your demise,” she
grumbled.
“Madam, we have paid for your medical bills, so you can leave the hospital now.” One of the volunteers walked
toward her.
“Thank you. You’re all kind-hearted people.” After being saved from drowning, Wanda was beyond thankful.
“Avoid going to the beach next time, as you’re more prone to accidents due to your age.”
“I didn’t fall into the sea. Someone pushed me down!” Wanda was exasperated.
“Then you should quickly find out who that person is and get them apprehended!”
A guilty conscience flashed in Wanda’s eyes again since she was the one who brought the whole matter upon
herself. She got greedy and threatened Erica for a million. Besides, she would be put in a tough position if Erica
revealed what she did.
However, she was determined to let Francis know about Erica’s true identity to strip her of her title as the second

After she left the hospital, she got on a public bus. While on the way home, she thought that Erica would never have
imagined that she was alive, and she didn’t plan to make things easy for her. As soon as she got home, she took out
the yellow pages and purchased a new mobile phone and a sim card. While she stood at the corner of the shop, she
dialed Erica’s number.
“Hi, who is it?” Erica sounded impatient as she answered the call.
“Erice, don’t you recognize my voice?” Wanda scoffed.
“Are… Are you Mrs. Garner?” Erica’s voice was shaky.
“Hmph! Erica, your true identity will be revealed very soon! I will let Francis know that you are Naomi’s illegitimate
daughter and that you’re not of the Tillman bloodline.”
“Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Garner… I’m very sorry. I’m begging you. Please don’t let them know. I’ll pay you a million
immediately.” Her words were muddled up.
“I don’t want your money anymore. I just want to see your downfall.” After Wanda’s near-death experience, she
was thankful for the volunteers’ help and had made up her mind that she would be a good person from thereon.
