Chapter 1316
With Alexander playing along, Lily called and invited Anastasia over the next day.
Lily wanted Anastasia to go to her house because, firstly, Anastasia did not enjoy being in public places and being stared at.
Secondly, she could be more casual and relaxed in the house.
Apart from that, Anastasia's house would not be appropriate. If her father, Secretary Cameron Rollins, were to return or say
anything, her treatment would be disrupted.
‘That's right! Anastasia requires treatment. | think her obesity is caused by both psychological and physiological problems"
To ascertain the problem, Lily needed to take the woman's pulse.

However, before concluding, Lily did not want to reveal much. Even Alexander had no idea that she was Dominic's secret
apprentice.
To Lily, there was nothing special about her relationship with Dominic. She had only learned something that she was interested in
from an expert and that might be useful in the future.
Coincidentally, the expert was famous, and people beccurious about the man's "last apprentice." Without the title, Lily knew
few would care who she was, as they were only obsessed with her connection with her teacher.
Anastasia was a little late, but she brought a pot of lily of the valley. She had anticipated Lily's tastes and preferences, so she had
gone out of her way to track down these valuable plants.
Lily was happy to see the young woman had brought her favorite plants, but she was concerned that her hwould bectoo
crowded if Anastasia continued to bring them every tshe visited.
"Ms. Rollins, | wouldn't dare to invite you over if you bring gifts every time." Lily laughed as she walked over to greet her.
"It's nothing, and what matters is that you like it. I'm not into plants, but | have many of them." Anastasia cto a halt in her
path after two steps and rested at the doorway.
She had not been well lately and often felt weak. Drowsy every day, she could doze off despite herself, even just after she woke
up. She was on one of her better days when she demanded the dress from Lily.
"But if you gavea pot every three or five days, my house wouldn't be able to fit them all." Lily took her hand casually and half-
jokingly as she noticed her getting tired.
"Every three or five days?"

Anastasia acutely grasped the key point but could not get it. "Why would | give one every three or five days?"
Lily led her inward, seated her on the sofa, and poured a cup of tea before handing it to her. "Because I'll be inviting you over often
in the future. If you bring a gift each time, won't you bringa pot of plants every three or five days?"
Anastasia was surprised. She only con Lily's invitation and had no idea Lily would invite her frequently in the future. After
zoning out for two seconds, she said sadly, ‘Then | might have to disappoint you. | won't be coming here often. | don't go out often,
and | don't enjoy it."
She would not have made this trip if she had not felt connected with Lily.
Having had enough of her relatives gossiping about her at the dining table, she would do her best to avoid attending her family’s
annual gatherings.
They would not say it to her face out of respect for her father, but she could still feel their stares and overhear their tittle-tattle.
She would only grow upset hearing them, and she decided it was better not to go.
