After carefully examining the will handed to him by Anastasia, Mr. Brown said with a stern expression,
‘On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be any problems with the will. However, we would need your
father to confirm its validity.
Anastasia knew that her father was the only one who knew the real content of the will, as even her
father’s lawyer had taken Naomi’s side.
Presgrave Hospital.
Afraid that Anastasia had suffered grievances, Elliot, who was waiting for Anastasia’s return,
immediately dragged her into a quiet lounge the moment he saw her. “Tell me, did they give you a hard
time?” he asked with his gaze on her.
Anastasia calmly filled Elliot in regarding the content of her father’s will.
Elliot narrowed his eyes, his gaze chilly. “Are you just going to let your father’s
company fall into that woman’s hand? Should I start making some moves myself?”
However, Anastasia shook her head. “I know how to deal with them. I’ll make sure that they pay the
price they fully deserve.” Her eyes tinged with sorrow before she changed the topic. “How’s my father?”
“His vitals are still stable so far.”
Immediately, the grief in her eyes turned into hatred. “One is my father’s wife, and the other his
daughter. They actually did something this despicable just so they could have my father’s company. I
assumed they knew my father was going to let me inherit the company, so they decided to do
something like this to him. If only I knew this would happen. I would’ve refused to go help out at the
company back then. At the very least, my father would still be safe.”

“Do not take their faults as your own. You are innocent in this.” Elliot assured her.
Looking at her exhausted pale face, he
immediately wrapped his arms around
her. “Rest for a little while in my arms.”
Anastasia leaned against his chest. “Have
you sent Jared back?”
“Yeah. He was very willing to go to the Presgrave Residence.”
“I’m glad to hear that.” Anastasia felt grateful that the Presgrave Family had given her son a place to
live.
2:00 PM in the afternoon. Naomi and her daughter arrived at the lobby of Presgrave Hospital. This
time, they were being led by one of the nurses to the hospital ward after going through the proper
registration process. “As expected, this place is something else,” Naomi muttered as her eyes
wandered the spacious and upscale interior of the hospital, which looked just like a luxurious hotel.
“Mom, that man’s in there.” Erica looked through the window at Francis who was
in the ICU. Furthermore, she no longer
addressed him as her father. It was clear
that any filial piety she had for her father
was long gone.
“How about taking a rest inside here for
now? We will consult the doctors first
before making the arrangements for you
two to enter the ward later,” the nurse
explained
Alright. They then entered the lounge room.
On the way out, the nurse intentionally left the door slightly open. Just as Naomi and Erica were about
to sit down and have their cup of tea, they heard a female voice coming from outside their room. “Dr.
Jones, since my father just had a checkup this morning, can you explain to me in detail regarding my
father’s condition?”
Noticing the female voice belonged to
Anastasia, the mother-daughter pair
made eye contact with one another
before they quietly went closer to the
door to eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Miss Tillman, we have good news for you. We’ve just introduced the most advanced international brain
scanner and medicine in our hospital. We’ll be able to effectively treat your father’s condition for him to
regain consciousness as soon as possible now.
“Really? That’s great news! Does that mean there’s a possibility that my dad will wake up?”
“Very much so. If there aren’t any

consciousness by next week, the doctor
said confidently.
“Thank you very much, Dr. Jones. You
really are the global leading neurology
specialist.
“Hehe. You are just too kind, Miss
Tillman. Since Mr. Tillman is Young
Master Elliot’s future father-in-law, how
can we not put our utmost effort into
treating him? We will definitely do
everything we can to save your father.”
Thank you, Dr. Jones. However, can I ask you for a favor? Later, two of my family members will be
visiting my father. Can you please refrain from telling them the news about my father regaining
consciousness?”
“Why?” Dr. Jones was puzzled.
“Regardless, please do me a favor, as this is my family matter.”
“Alright. I’ll do as you say.”
The two of them continued their conversation while gradually walking away from the room. Behind the
slightly opened door, the mother-daughter pair were looking at each other in disbelief, as they could not
believe the possibility of Francis waking up. Not to mention, he would wake up next week at the
earliest.
