StarNovel
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. I 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas 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 became curious 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 home would become too crowded if Anastasia continued to bring them every time she visited.
"Ms. Rollins, I 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 I have many of them."
Anastasia came to 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 gave me a 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 I give one every three or five
days?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily 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 bring me a pot of
plants every three or five days?"
Anastasia was surprised. She only came on 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 I might have to
disappoint you. I won't be coming here often. I don't go out often, and I 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.
