NovelEnglishChapter 1509
While Maria complimented Anastasia, she wanted to take credit for herself, insinuating that Anastasia would not have lost this
much weight and looked much healthier without her help.
Anyhow, she believed Cameron owed them a big favor.
They must get to the end of things with him regarding this matter.
"If she had drunk it, she wouldnt look like this now."
Rhea sneered and coldly glanced at Anastasia.
Anastasia shook Maria's hand off, stood up straight, and walked toward Rhea as she said, "What should | look like then? How do
you know what medications the miracle doctor prescribed to me? How do you know their effects? Rhea, do you understand
medicines too?"
Maria was puzzled and hurried to explain, "Ree was a medical student.Have you forgotten..."
"Rhea learned about modern medicine,"
Anastasia interrupted, "I didn’t know she learned about medicinal herbs as well and being this good at it?"

"You're ignorant and haven't performed well in your studies.What would you know?" Rhea said.
She was never polite and respectful when talking to Anastasia.
Ever since they were young, Rhea was not close to Anastasia, and Anastasia knew that Rhea did not like her.
As for a reason for Rhea's feelings, Anastasia had no idea either.
At the time, Anastasia was not obese and out of shape yet.
Everyone regarded her as an adorable child.
She wanted to play with Rhea and have a cousin with whom she could hang out, but Rhea was repelled by her and would either roll
her eyes or mock her whenever they met.
After having her feelings hurt so many times, Anastasia learned not to take the initiative to talk to Rhea anymore.
However...
"Ree, don’t say that!"
Maria rebuked, not allowing her to continue with her words.
Fabian was getting impatient, not wanting to waste more ton such a minute matter, and asked directly, "Tasia, when will your
father chome? Does he choften these days?"
"I'm not sure about that either.You know my father’s working tis unpredictable when he gets busy.l don’t know if he comes
hoften too.He usually isn’t hwhen | go to bed and would leave before | wake up the next morning."
Anastasia looked innocent.
"Uncle Fabian, I'm sure you're aware that my daddy has been that way since | was a kid."
That was right.
Fabian would still comfort Anastasia in the past, but he was not in the mood, nor did he have the patience for that now.
Bluntly, he questioned, "You don’t know anything! It was fine when you were younger, but you've grown up.
"Don't you care about anything that happens around you? Do you know that your dad has a mistress? You're going to have a
stepmother soon! Anastasia, you must learn to be aware of your surroundings! You're not a kid anymore!"
Anastasia blinked.
"Uncle Fabian, how do you know all that?"

Fabian did not know what to say when Maria cto his rescue.
"He heard it from someone else too.They saw your dad everywhere with that woman.Do you know about that? Silly girl, why didn’t
you tell us about it earlier?"
"I had no idea about it!"
Anastasia shook her head and said, "Still, even if it's true, it's fine."
"It's fine?!"
Fabian exclaimed and widened his eyes.
"Do you know what you're saying right now? Don’t you feel sorry for your late mom? Your dad is going to marry another woman!
That means you’ Il have a stepmother soon.Aren’t you anxious about that? Do you even know what a stepmother is? Do you?"
"Uncle Fabian, we're not sure if the news is real yet.Even if it is, so what? My mom passed away for so many years, and my dad has
been single the whole time.If he could find someone who could take care of him and love him, I'll be happy for him too.
"As for having a stepmother, not all the stepmothers in the world are evil.Plus, I'm an adult now.| won't be scared even if she
doesn’t treatwell.It wouldn't affect me."
As soon as she finished her sentence, Maria grabbed her hand hastily.
"Oh, dear! Silly girl, how could you be so naive?"
