“It’s not looking good. The doctor told me the chances of him waking up are miniscule Anastasia told them the truth.

“Don’t you lie to us. Will my dad be waking up or not?” Erica asked with slight. anger.

Anastasia’s eyes flickered slightly as she deliberately leaked hints of emotions in her eyes. “Why would I lie to you? My dad will not be waking up anytime soon.”

Naomi thought that Anastasia was lying to her so that the latter could use Francis to deal with her after he regained consciousness. Hence, Anastasia told her that her husband would not be waking up anytime soon just so she would let her guard down. Hmph! I won’t fall for that, she thought. “Then take good care of your father. We’ll come and visit him tomorrow. There’s something back in the office that requires my presence right now.” Saying that, Naomi left in a hurry with Erica in tow.

Looking at the backs of the mother daughter pair gradually vanishing in sight, Anastasia knew they had taken the bait. She then took her phone out and dialed Rey’s number. ‘Rey, please arrange some men for the next phase of the plan.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Tillman! We’ll keep a close eye on Naomi and Erica the entire time.”

Anastasia knew Naomi would definitely find a way to deal with her father regaining consciousness, yet she hadn’t the slightest idea on what Naomi would do specifically to harm her father once more. Right now, all Anastasia had to do was wait for the moment Naomi would strike, and catch her right in the act.

As soon as Naomi and Erica entered their car, they called Alex and told him everything they heard in the hospital, including the fact Anastasia had lied to them.

“Are you sure that President Tillman will wake up? Alex asked cautiously.

“We’re not sure. However, we overheard. the conversation between Anastasia and that doctor and heard Anastasia asking the doctor not to tell us the truth! You should know that the doctor-in-charge ist the world’s leading expert in neurology!” Erica said in anger.

“Don’t make any moves for now. I’m afraid Anastasia might be planning some sort of trap for us here.” Alex was planning to be cautious until the end.

Left without any choice, Naomi could only listen to Alex, and stopped thinking up methods to deal with Francis.

Nevertheless, Anastasia had expected this development. Even if Naomi was on guard, the fact that her father would wake up any moment now was like a ticking bomb in their head, as they would feel a sense of danger at all times. It would be like a nightmare haunting them at their every waking moment.

Just as Anastasia expected, the seeds of fear had slowly taken their roots in Naomi’s heart, as she could not eat nor sleep well after she had returned home, fearing she would wake up to hear the news that her husband had regained consciousness. That night, Naomi woke up from her sleep in a cold sweat. She then sat up and looked at the pillow beside her. As the fear in her gradually poisoned her mind, even the sound of a car passing by was enough to cause her to tense up.

After such a night, Naomi immediately went to the hospital and overheard two nurses discussing Francis’ condition as they passed her by.

“I heard Dr. Jones saying that Mr. Tillman’s medicine has started to take effect and that it’s very effective.”

“Really? That’s good news to hear.”

Naomi started to panic, as she began to believe the possibility of Francis waking up since even the nurses were talking about it. Sitting by Francis’ bedside, she started to feel unease as she stared at his sleeping face.

On the other side of the window,

Anastasia stood silently while intently watching Naomi’s chilling gaze of hatred. She was waiting for the moment of Naomi’s breakdown, the moment Naomi took action due to the fear inside her.

Just like the day before, Naomi left once more. As she walked along the corridors of Presgrave Hospital, her eyes wandered around the high-tech hospital that looked as if it could raise a man from his death.

Upon leaving the hospital, she came to a conclusion that she couldn’t let that man wake up, as she couldn’t lose the shares she and her daughter had gotten. He must die, she thought, with viciousness in her eyes. With everything that I’ve done, what difference would it make, doing one more cruel deed?

Naomi planned to hide what she was about to do from her daughter and Alex, as she feared her daughter would crumble under the pressure and that Alex would stop her since he did not understand the fear she was experiencing. Therefore, she decided to do this alone.

If Francis died in Presgrave Hospital, Naomi could even pin his death on Anastasia and sue the hospital for a huge amount of compensation. All in all, to Naomi, there were only profits to be made should Francis die in Presgrave

Hospital.

With this thinking in mind, Naomi made a call to the unscrupulous owner whom she had gotten the previous pills from. She had already planned the method of how she would administer the drug, as she noticed that Francis’ arm was hooked up to some tube for his medication. By discreetly injecting the tube with the lethal drug, Francis would surely die unwittingly. At that time, the hospital would have to take full responsibility for his death.

As for the surveillance camera in the ward, Naomi surmised that it would be enough as long as she had her back to the camera while using her clothes as a cover while she was injecting the drug into the tube. Naomi, who was immersed in her planning, was completely unaware that every movement of her wicked plan was being monitored, as a black car followed behind her when she entered the unscrupulous store.

Anastasia received a call from the bodyguard she placed on Naomi saying that Naomi had entered a drugstore and left after spending 10 minutes there. Furthermore, the bodyguard noted that Naomi looked tense when she left the store in a hurry.

Looks like she took the bait, Anastasia thought. She had expected Naomi to be impatient, as Naomi needed to make sure her plans so far were ironclad due to the huge benefits she was going to obtain. Naomi needed to make sure her husband would no longer wake up in this life so that she could be the president of Tillman Constructions, which was worth billions. With all these in mind, Anastasia expected Naomi would make her move on the next day.

In the evening, in a certain restaurant, Elliot brought Jared to meet Arthur and Richard for dinner. Due to the sudden cancellation of the engagement, Elliot was sorry for leaving his friends behind and putting them on hold.

“It’s fine. We’ll still be there as promised the next time you get engaged.” Richard laughed lightly.

Then, Arthur steered the conversation to the recent events. “I may need to stay here for a few more days since I still haven’t found the thing that I lost!”

Richard turned his attention toward

Arthur and noticed the chain he usually had around his neck was missing. Slightly surprised, he asked, “Don’t tell me you lost your heirloom treasure?!”

Arthur sighed depressingly. “It is just like you said.”

“Where did you lose it? Is there any hope of finding it? Do you need my help?” Elliot asked with concern while he handed small slices of his steak onto Jared’s plate.

“There’s no need for you to help. I’ve already gotten a clue that it was a female thief who took it.”

“A thief that could steal something of yours? Don’t tell me you have fallen prey at those kinds of places?” When Richard recalled how often Arthur would patronize those kinds of places, his tone turned slightly harsh.

“Nonsense! I am a pure, untainted man that practices self-respect!” Arthur wore a dignified expression.

“Then pray tell just how that thief got away with your item?”

“She pretended to be chased by someone and suddenly came into my car. She then locked her arms around my neck and stole it from me when I least expected it. I admit I let my guard down. Darn it.” As Arthur retold the incident, the anger in him came to rise again. Regardless, that thief was quite capable, as Arthur’s men still could not find any information on her until now.

“Just say the word when you need help.” Elliot offered his help, as the entire country was his territory.

To Arthur, it was already embarrassing enough for him to have his item stolen from under his nose. If he had to rely on others just to track down the thiet, that would just demonstrate how incapable he was. Hence, he was determined to do this without anyone’s help to preserve his dignity. “No need. I want to personally catch her myself, he declared with his hand curled into a fist.

Just then. Jared accidentally knocked over the glass beside him. However, Richard managed to catch the glass right before it fell to the ground. After placing the glass back on the table, he patted the child on the head. “Hope that didn’t scare you!”

“Wow! Mr. Lloyd is amazing Jared clapped with admiration.

“Jared, have something good for you later, Richard said.

“Something good? What is it?” Jared asked, curious.

“It’s a watch with a GPS function. That way, we’ll be able to find you wherever you are in the future.”
