Anastasia returned home joyfully and noticed that Maria was there again. She grew impatient seeing the miracle doctor with her aunt waiting for her.‘Didn’t I tell her I don’t want to see him? Why can’t she leave me alone? If she continues like this, I wouldn’t want her to enter the house anymore.’Although upset, Anastasia still greeted her aunt, “Hi, Aunt Maria.”“Tasia, you’re finally home. You’re always coming home so late day after day, and yet your father has never gotten worried. What is he thinking?” Maria knew their relationship had been strained for the last two days and conveyed her concerns instead of getting to her point.“I’m a grownup, and I wasn’t going to shady places, so why worry? You seem quite free to come here so often,” Anastasia spoke bluntly and lifted her eyelids as she looked over to Austin, who remained quiet on the sidelines.“Also, you’re always accompanied by a man of dubious background. Aren’t you afraid my uncle would get jealous?” She said half-jo

Austin rested his fingers on Anastasia’s wrist and dropped his smile, looking much more solemn.She was nervous.In the past, they had engaged many doctors. Some gave her X-rays, and some took her pulse, but they had not discovered anything and simply said her endocrine system was unstable and needed treatment.She later took herbal medicine for a while, and it was so bitter that she wanted to cry. Ultimately, the result was not good, and she gradually gave it up.She also went to the gym. Being obese, she was not suitable for strenuous exercises and could only walk about and perform simple activities. But back at home, she would fall into a deep sleep and wake up feeling hungrier. This disrupted her circadian rhythm and made her want to eat more.After a while, she slowly lost hope and gave up.For the past two days, she has been happy at Lily’s house. She neither thought about losing weight nor whether she would feel guilty eating a particular food. It was as if she gave her bo

“How do you know Lily is not treating you as an experimentation tool herself?”Austin smiled meaningfully and took out a pen and a piece of paper. Then he lowered his head to write as he spoke casually, “I don’t mind you knowing that she and I are conducting research at the same lab.“She might know a little bit about alternative medicine and medicinal herbs. Of course, she is mainly a perfumer and might have obtained some knowledge of alternative medicine through self-learning.”He paused and looked up at Anastasia. “Still, you guys should understand that those who self-learn lack practical experience. Whenever there’s a chance, they’d jump at it.”Enlightened by him, Maria looked at Anastasia and said, “Tasia, she’s using you as a guinea pig!”Anastasia could hardly speak for a moment. What Austin said had somehow unsettled her.She wanted to tell herself that what he said was false and that Lily would never treat her as a guinea pig.‘If that is the case, how come Lily always

“No,” Alexander said. “We checked all surveillance footage and didn’t find anyone poisoning it. We also sent the food residue for testing and found no traces of poison.”“So, what about the water supply if it’s not the food?” Lily asked after some thought.“I thought about that too and had it checked as well.”‘If it’s not the food and water supply, and the mass poisoning is not an accident, then it’s rather bizarre.’“Can it be an accident? Where were the workers, or whom had they come in contact with?” Lily knitted her brow. She wanted to help her husband solve the problem as soon as possible.Since people had died, they had to find out what happened and give an explanation to those people’s families.“Based on our investigation, these workers stayed and had their meals at the factory. They haven’t been in contact with outsiders over the past few days.” After a pause, he said, “We’re still investigating, and I believe we’ll get to the bottom of what happened. Don’t worry too mu

“What guinea pig? Why can’t I understand a word you say today?” Blinking, Fabian looked bewildered.Maria said eagerly, “Didn’t I tell you that Tasia trusts Lily and goes to have her meals at the woman’s house every day? She thought Lily was a good person who wanted to help her lose weight!“However, the miracle doctor told us that Lily is working with him at some lab and had only taught herself herbal medicine for a while. She lacks practical experience and uses Tasia as a guinea pig!”“Tasia is such a silly girl for thinking Lily cares for her! Who would be truly good to her besides her own family? Who doesn’t put self-interest before everything in our society? No one will help her if there’s nothing to gain!”Shaking her head, Maria remembered something and turned to Rhea as she said, “Fortunately, you’re smart and capable. If you were like that silly girl, I'd be worried sick!"Rhea curled her lips. “You used to say she was pretty and smart when we were young.”A look of emba
