Chapter 1329
"What miracle doctor?" Cameron caught on to the vital point and cut Maria off.
"Uh..." Maria nearly choked as her outpouring of resentment was interrupted. "He's Dominic Fike’s
secret apprentice."
"Dominic Fike, the famous physician?" Cameron immediately thought of him.
'Yes, him! You also tried hiring him, but he retired and hasn't been around for many years. People even
suspect he’s dead, seriously ill, or paralyzed. Anyway, his secret apprentice's talent caught his
attention, and he made an exception to teach him.
"He’s also said to be Dominic Fike's most gifted apprentice. I always wanted to reach him, and it took
me a great deal of effort to find out how to contact him-"
'Where is he?" Cameron interjected again and looked behind her. He saw Anastasia moving carefully

At the mention of this, Maria revealed a sad expression and sighed. "Good question! I worked so hard
to engage his service, but Mrs. Russell-"
Cameron frowned. "Mrs. Russell?"
After getting interrupted many times, Maria took time to reorganize her thoughts while Anastasia
quickly took a step forward. "Dad, it's Lily. I told you I’d be visiting her house."
'Yes, Lily Russell!" Maria tried to squeeze past her. "Ron, you have to talk some sense into Tasia and
tell her to stop hanging out with that woman. She's cunning and up to no good. I think she purposely
chased away the miracle doctor to stop Tasia from-"
"So the miracle doctor you hired did not try to treat Tasia?"
'Yes! He was going to, but Lily Russell was crazy enough to chase him away. Now that the miracle
doctor is upset, I have to find ways to appease him. Cameron, what do-"
'That’s not true, Dad! Lily didn't say anything. It was the miracle doctor who was rude to her!" Anastasia
hurriedly explained, worried that her father would have a wrong impression of Lily.
'What do you know? It’s natural for the miracle doctor to be prideful, and that woman showed him no
respect. I think she must have fed you lies, and that's why you can't see the truth!
"Oh, yes, Ron, she even gave Tasia a drink, and God knows how much Tasia ate during her lunch
there. How will she slim down that way? My heart aches for Tasia as her aunt."
Unable to stop her aunt's jabbering, Anastasia nervously looked at her father, her face blushing in one
minute and paling the next. "Dad, no, that's not a sweetened drink but prune juice. It helps digestion
and..."
"How is prune juice not a sweetened drink? Fruits are high in fructose and even higher when turned
into juice. Lily Russell is out to harm you!"
"Dad, I didn't..."

pressure. You should go home to take care of him."
"I..." Still hoping to say more, Maria wanted to stay but was unnerved by his gaze. "I better get going
then. I'll devise a way to persuade the miracle doctor."
Before she left, she looked at Anastasia. "Tasia, I’m the one who truly cares about you. Listen to me
and stay away from Lily Russell. She's not a good person, okay?"
Anastasia simply stood there without saying anything or looking back at her aunt. She pouted and
looked back at her father.
Maria left in a fit because Cameron had no intention of speaking to her. Instead, Cameron cast his gaze
to his daughter and saw her standing there with a pale face, her eyes filled with anxiety, and yet her lips
pursed stubbornly.
'She looks so much like her mom. If she could slim down, I bet she would be as beautiful as her
mother."
