My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512

“Please hurry with the exposé on Anastasia. She’s far too vicious to get away scot-free like this. Were talking about my husband and Erica’s father here. How could she be so cruel as to stop us from secing him?” Naomi cried, looking anguished as she buried her face in her hands.

We’ll finish the write-up and publish it as soon as possible. Can’t have someone so downright heartless to her own father do this without repercussions, can we? Do you have any pictures for the column?” Timothy, the editor-in-chief of the press, asked.

“Yes.” Erica fished out her phone and pulled up the candid shot she had taken of Anastasia in the conference room last time. She had been bored and decided to take several pictures for her own amusement, only to find that she had taken one where Anastasia was sitting next to Francis.

Upon seeing the picture, Timothy nodded in approval and said, “That’s a good one, and the public will perceive it as Anastasia being eager to get close to Francis for the sake of taking over the company as CEO.” He stared at the picture for a moment longer, and he had to admit that Anastasia was stunning. With her perfect features and warm smile, it was hard to believe that she was capable of doing something so underhanded.

This could give rise to another hot topic. Anastasia was like a rose in full bloom in that picture, but concealed within her was greed and fierce ambition to take Tillman Constructions for herself, and apparently, she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal.

Naomi and Erica were like a pair of thieves when they left the press company later that day. Now that they had done their part, all they needed to do was for the press to do their dirty work and ruin Anastasia’s reputation.

Meanwhile, Francis had undergone a series of check-ups at Presgrave Hospital, and Elliot came rushing back just as the doctor was reporting the medical findings to Anastasia.

The atmosphere in the conference room was grim as Theodore Dugray, the Head of Neurology in Presgrave Hospital, announced, “Your father’s condition is worse than we presumed and based on the tests we ran on him, we found that his brain is severely damaged. Self-recovery is nearly impossible, and while surgery is the best option we have, he does not meet the requisite standards for us to carry out the operation immediately. We’ll have to keep him under observation for at least three months before we draft out the surgery plan.”

Anastasia had been wound up so tightly over the last few days that she almost snapped after hearing the news. She clapped her hand over her mouth as tears spilled down her face. I didn’t know Dad’s condition would be so serious. Is this it? Do I not get to see even a glimmer of hope for this situation to turn around?

At the sight of this, Elliot quickly handed her a piece of tissue, a gentle gesture that did little to soften the impact of the hard news. He felt his heart twist when he saw how devastated she looked, but there was nothing he could do to take the pain away from her.
