“Oh, no...” Anxious and sad, Anastasia looked over her shoulder at Alexander.
“Try dissolving it in swater,” Alexander said after sthought.
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.

After not receiving a response from Alexander, Anastasia dared not continue feeding her father the pill. She called out to him,
“Alex?”
Alexander caught himself. “Hold on. Letmake 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 swhether 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 cfrom 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.

At first, these people behaved out of respect for Cameron, but as tpassed, without any sign of him, rumors began to spread.
Sgradually 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.
“Lettry.” 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.
