“I know that,” Alexander said casually, not reacting much to it. “Everyone in Kingsland knows about that. Secretary Rollins had spoiled his daughter too much. She’s overweight and has a weird temper. The other girls in the circle don’t really hang out with her.”Hence, he found it strange when he learned that Lily was in contact with Anastasia, and the latter had even gifted his wife something costly. However, Lily was different from the other women anyway.“Spoiled her too much…” Lily repeated this phrase and sighed softly.“You don’t think so?”“Perhaps he loves her, but in the wrong way,” Lily elaborated.Alexander could tell she had many emotions from her trip to Cameron’s place. “What did you see?”“It’s nothing. I just want to ask you something. What if Gale becomes as fat as Ms. Rollins in the future? How would you treat him?” Lily asked while pointing to their son sitting in the baby chair.Subconsciously, his gaze followed her finger’s direction. The little boy had no i

Cameron was strict about Anastasia’s diet, but he still encouraged her to socialize and hoped she would have friends. However, Anastasia was always reluctant to do so, perhaps due to her low self-esteem.Alexander was speechless. ‘It turns out Lily just wants to use my name to do something, and she even said she didn’t need me at first! I’m still useless, even more so than that punk.’He turned to look at Galen, who returned a bright smile as if to mock him for being useless to his wife when he was such an influential man in the business world. Alexander just stared at him. ‘What are you laughing at? You’re just a tool!’Lily did not realize the eye contact between the two and assumed that Alexander had agreed to her request. “That’s settled then. If Secretary Rollins asks about it next time, just tell him what I said earlier.”“Okay…” Alexander hummed, slightly upset.…Maria had waited outside the institute for two days but caught no sight of Austin. It made her doubt herself.

Maria’s brain could not process Austin’s words, and she stood there, stunned. Austin did not care for all the things she had mentioned. Since everyone thought he was Dominic’s secret apprentice, many wealthy and influential people sought his help. It was not like he helped all of them.He knew he was not Dominic’s secret apprentice. Although he was confident in his medical skills, there was a risk of things going wrong. When that happened, he would offend influential people, so taking the risk would not be worth it.Moreover, he understood that he could not accept their invitation easily with the increasing number of people who sought his help. It would only make him lose his mystique and make him appear worthless.“Mr. Fike, I don’t have ill intentions, and I’m not lying to you. Didn’t you learn about medicine to save people’s lives? My niece is only a little over 20 years old, and she consulted many doctors about her condition, but none of them could help her.“If you could save

“Well, you must leave home every once in a while.” Lily smiled. “Try the tea.”Anastasia was okay to drink tea, but she only took a tiny sip. As she was about to put down the cup, she licked her lips thoughtfully and took another small sip. “It’s sweet?”She did not look surprised but horrified, as if she had done something terrible. She immediately set the cup down, spilling some of the tea. “Did you add sugar? Why are you doing this to me?”Lily observed Anastasia’s reaction in silence and said slowly, “I didn’t add another sugar. The sweetness came from the tea leaves.”“How is that possible? How can tea be sweet by itself? Besides, I can’t have anything sweet!” Anxious, Anastasia held her neck and wanted to throw up but could not as she only took two sips.Lily poured a cup for herself and spoke after calmly drinking the tea, “This is ginseng oolong tea. Since it’s naturally sweet, it could lower blood pressure and lipid levels. Also, it’s good for your body.” Anastasia’s ey

Lily soothingly spoke when she noticed Anastasia’s anxious expression. After all, being too nervous would affect hormone secretions, which would not be suitable for Anastasia’s treatment.Besides, Lily did not want Anastasia to regard herself as a patient. Anastasia would feel more relaxed if she did not see it as getting treatment.“O-Oh, okay.” Nodding, Anastasia said, “But my father…”“We’ll keep this from him for now.” It was something Lily had wanted to tell Anastasia in the first place. “Let this be a surprise for him.”“A surprise?”“Yes!” Lily nodded assuringly and said, “If you can adjust your condition and slowly become more spirited while slimming down a bit, wouldn’t it surprise him? He wouldn’t be disappointed if nothing happened, either, would he?”Lily wished Anastasia could prepare herself mentally before she started working on improving her health.‘Anastasia mustn’t worry too much about the results. She should be hopeful yet not overly so she wouldn’t be greatl
