Chapter 1308
It was different from anything in the past. This time, Anastasia was not repulsed by those questions.
There was no mockery in Lily's eyes.
She could tell Lily was not asking her all those questions because she wanted to gossip or laugh about
it, but because she was genuinely concerned. Anastasia eventually got the impression that Lily wanted
to assist her in solving her issue after she patiently probed her about her illness.
"Mrs. Russell, do you know how to cure an illness?" Anastasia asked out of the blue.
Lily was surprised, and after two seconds of silence, she shook her head." No, I don't! I'm a perfumer,
not a doctor."
"Oh." Anastasia appeared to be disappointed. "I thought you were a doctor because you might be able

"How could I be..." Lily laughed. "It's best for you to get a consultation from the professionals."
"I've met many of them and tried every possible way. Maybe because I'm lazy, but I'll puke everytime I
exercise. Later, I had to give up on working out. I'm... just useless." Anastasia sighed and caught sight
of the desserts on the table. Her gaze froze in that spot for a moment. "However, the method you
taught me the last time worked."
"Hm?" Lily was stunned, not knowing what Anastasia was referring to.
'The blueberry mousse." Seeing that Lily could not remember it, Anastasia reminded her.
"Do you know how long it has been since I last tasted delicious food? That piece of blueberry mousse
was probably the best thing I've had in many years."
Lily had no idea how much Anastasia would benefit from her random words. She looked at the things
on the table and picked up a piece of cake. "Do you want this?"
Anastasia looked at it, shook her head, but nodded soon after. Confusion filled her eyes. "I'm not sure
either. “I want to eat it, but when I think about how many calories they have, I don't want to."
"Still, it's impossible for you to resist the temptation forever. Your body is going to fight against you."
Anastasia nodded. "You're right. My body has been fighting with me about that. Although I’ve been
making an effort to fight it, lately I've been getting weaker."
"Would you... eat it secretly?" Lily asked in a small voice as her eyes scanned the room.
They were just like sisters who were talking about their little secret. Her question made Anastasia
flustered. She was embarrassed and mad at herself, but she could not control her desire.
She nodded lightly, and a tear could be seen falling from the corner of her eye.
"I'm useless, aren't I? I hate myself too! Why can't I control myself? Why must I eat secretly? I deserve

Right now, Anastasia looked gentle and pitiful, which was the opposite of how she looked when she
demanded the dress from Lily the other day. She could not do anything with her body and did not know
how to control herself.
"Don't think about it that way. You'll need energy as long as you live, so how could you not eat? You
need to eat because that's what your body needs. It's not something to be ashamed of. Everyone
needs to eat because we'll die if we don't," Lily gently comforted her, patting Anastasia's arm.
"Really?" Anastasia widened her gaze. They were now filled with confidence in Lily.
If it were anyone else, she would think the other party was just trying to comfort her. After all, a slim
person would not understand the pain fat people need to endure. Lily’s words managed to help her
enjoy food again, so she would gladly listen to what she said.
