My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 557

“Doctor Leonard, how is my father’s condition after he has regained consciousness?” Anastasia looked at the doctor and asked.

“He is doing well. Besides the lack of physical strength from not taking in any food for a prolonged period of time, he’s not feeling any discomfort. We will enhance Mr. Tillman’s nutrition intake.”

“Doctor, may I speak to my daughter in private?” Francis asked.

“Of course, you can.” The doctor made everyone leave the room after that.

The look in Francis’ eyes tugged her heartstrings. Did Dad discover something before he got into a coma?

“Dad, a lot has happened during this period of time,” she said as she sat in front of him.

“Tell me about everything that happened after I went unconscious.” He was eager to find out about everything.

With that, Anastasia told him everything in detail, starting from when he got admitted into the hospital. She even told him about how shameless Naomi was without reservations. Her heart ached when she saw how upset her father was. However, in order for him to see Naomi’s true colors, she did what had to be done.

“Dad, don’t be too upset about it. If she had the guts to hurt you, it only means that she doesn’t have any feelings for you.” Anastasia consoled him.

As he held back his tears, he sniffled. “I’d never think that she would do that to me since we have been married for more than twenty years. Anastasia, I’m a fool for not being able to tell apart who my foes are among those that are close to me. Naomi, Erica, Alex, and Colin are the people closest to me, but they wanted me dead.”

“Dad, you still have me.” Her heart broke for him as she knew that he was agonized by the episode.

After he heard his daughter, a glimmer of joy could be seen in his eyes. “That’s right! I still have you. I’m fortunate to have a filial daughter like you.”

“Dad, so what do you plan to do? There’s solid evidence to prove that Naomi tried to harm you and that Erica is her accomplice. It is also an undeniable fact that both of them tried to amend your will.”

Upon hearing that, he was in so much distress that he shut his eyes and his breathing got heavier.

“Dad, let’s not think about it for now. Let’s wait until you’ve recovered. If you can’t bring yourself to punish them, I shall do it for you.”

Francis nodded. He was surprised but impressed at how artful and calm Anastasia was since she managed to apprehend Naomi and got Alex arrested while he was unconscious. Everything she had done was to seek revenge for him. He thanked the heavens for endowing him with a great daughter.

Just then, a tall figure was seen standing by the door. It was Elliot who rushed over from the Presgrave Group upon hearing news that Francis was awake.

“Mr. Tillman, you’re awake,” Elliot said delightedly.

“Elliot, this is all thanks to you. Anastasia told me that you’ve hired medical professionals to treat me, and it was because of it that I could regain my consciousness.” Francis looked at the young man gratefully.

“This is the least I could do.” He shot a glance at Anastasia, and she turned around and met his gaze. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

It was as if she could sense the excitement behind his smile, which made her blush.

“I’m so sorry for delaying your engagement. If not for my accident, both of you would have gotten engaged.” Francis felt guilty for ruining his daughter’s big day.

“Mr. Tillman, please don’t feel bad about it. The most important thing is your health. We can always pick another date for our engagement.” Elliot consoled him.

Francis really liked Elliot as his son-in law. Regardless of his wealth and capability, his love for Anastasia was evident, which made him a good man.

Soon after, the doctor brought some nutritious porridge over. Seeing that, Anastasia fed it to her father while Elliot waited outside. After Francis finished eating his porridge, the doctor came in, and Anastasia left the room.

Looking at the poised man who was leaning against the wall opposite her, she. couldn’t hide her gratitude toward him. He was instrumental in helping her father regain consciousness, and at the end of the day, he deserved all the credit.
