Chapter 1397
After sitting down with a glass of water, Anastasia sighed and said, "I didn't feel them making the air
better or make me feel refreshed. Aunt Maria, you've watched me grow up. Have I ever looked
refreshed to you?"
Maria did not answer.
"I feel groggy every day, always on the verge of falling asleep. When I'm awake, I'll be overwhelmed
with cravings. How can someone like me ever sit comfortably in the living room? I can barely feel
happiness." Anastasia sighed again and shook her head before sipping her water.
"Tasia, you shouldn't think that way. Even though you're not in the best shape, the miracle doctor will
cure you. He even gave you prescriptions. Which reminds me, have you taken them today?" Maria

Anastasia glanced at her. She avoided the question and asked, "Aunt Maria, do you think any
medications can help me, my body?"
Maria was shocked by this question and quickly replied, "Of course! The miracle doctor said you'll be
fine. Don't think too much and just listen to him. Remember to take your medicine!"
She also sat on the sofa, feeling a little uncomfortable, probably because she was used to the plants
hugging her left and right. Now, the sudden change of environment felt uncomfortable.
She grabbed a cushion and hugged it, feeling the room seemed chilly. Even Anatasia's gaze was cold.
'W-What's going on?'
"Tasia, have you taken your medicine today?" Maria asked again.
When she did not get a response, she turned to ask a nearby housekeeper. However, Anastasia spoke
up. "Aunt Maria, why is it important if I took medicine or not? I'm already like this anyway. The miracle
doctor said I got poisoned. Even if the medicine can help me, wouldn't I get poisoned again if I don't
find the culprit?
"This person has been poisoning me unconsciously for so many years. It must be someone close to
me-someone, I know very well. If I don't find out who they are, it doesn't make a difference whether I
take the medication or not." Anastasia spoke each word slowly as she looked straight at Maria.
To be honest, Anastasia did not think her aunt was behind it. Among other things, Maria had been
working hard to find a doctor for Anastasia, one that could help her. Even when she refused, Maria
would insist and persuade Anastasia to do so.
Even if Maria wanted to curry favor with Cameron, wouldn't it be superfluous for her to poison
Anastasia? Could it be that Maria was so confident in herself that she thought the doctor wouldn't be

Anastasia?
Anastasia could not put the puzzle pieces together and asked tentatively, waiting to see Maria's
reaction.
After hearing what she said, Maria also agreed. "That's right. We should find out who is behind this!
Who is the one that can poison you without being discovered? We must look into the housekeepers.
We must also tell your father about this so he can send someone to investigate. This is horrible!"
She seemed full of righteous indignation, and her anger did not seem pretentious. She even agreed to
help catch the culprit without any signs of panic or worry on her face. This puzzled Anastasia.
Of course, she hoped it was not her aunt who had been poisoning her. After all, Anastasia's uncle and
aunt were her closest relatives apart from her father. They were the only people she could consider
family.
Now that she was confident that her aunt was not behind this, she felt relieved yet a little puzzled.
