Chapter 1322
Stunned, Lily did not expect that the two had come together.
Since he was already inside, she was unable to reject him in front of her guests even though she had
only instructed the maid to let Anastasia's aunt in.
Lips curled, Lily looked at him and said, "Well, I never expected to be dogged by misfortune even at
home. When one is unlucky, not even their own home is safe, is it?"
The moment they spoke, they were already exchanging hostile remarks.
Although Maria had no idea what was happening between them, she could vaguely sense that the vibe
was not right. She had thought at first that since Austin was acquainted with Mrs. Russell and knew
where she lived, the woman should be a friend of some kind.

see him, Maria thought otherwise.
'Now that the two have met, they seem ready to quarrel. How bizarre!'
She looked at Austin, who was smiling despite his anger, then at the house owner. Maria suddenly let
out a yelp. "Oh, you're... Aren't you that woman who splashed Mr. Fike's face with a drink?"
Thinking she looked familiar, Maria kept staring and remembered who Lily was. 'During the symposium,
she splashed Austin’s face with fruit juice, and if not for her. I’d be able to squeeze through the crowd to
talk to him.'
She did not know whether Austin got mad then, but he did not stay long afterward and left in a hurry.
After blurting out the question, she remembered she was in Lily's house and clapped her hand to her
mouth.
Glancing at both of them, Maria now knew why Austin let out such an odd expression when he said he
knew Lily.
'They're not friends but enemies! Oh, no! Why is Tasia hanging out with Mr. Fike's enemy? If he gets
angry and refuses to treat her, all my efforts would be for nothing!’
As the only person who was clueless about their relationship, Anastasia was puzzled and asked
despite herself, "Lily, are you..."
'Tasia, how do you know Mrs. Russell?"
Not familiar with Lily, Maria wanted to say "this woman,” but she knew better while being in Lily's
house.
'If this woman is Mr. Fike's enemy, then there's no need to treat her courteously. What matters is the
miracle doctor!’

When she left the house, the housekeepers knew she had gone to Lily's place, but they had no idea
where it was. ‘Did my father send her over to bring me home?'
Thinking so, Anastasia started to look nervous.
"Did you come with my father?" She subconsciously put down the glass of prune juice.
Maria shook her head. "No, I hired the miracle doctor to treat you, but you weren't not home. He was
kind enough to come and see you, so that’s why we're here!"
"Miracle doctor?" Lily said this somewhat mockingly.
She looked Austin up and down. 'He enjoys bluffing, doesn't he? No one knows how capable he is and
how many lives he has saved, but he has the cheek to call himself a miracle doctor?!’
Austin did not care much about the "miracle doctor" title, but he was upset by Lily's mocking tone and
gaze. ’What kind of expression is she giving me? Is she looking down on me?’
