Chapter 1354
As they pulled apart, Alexander could not help but peck her lips several more times. "Wait for me!"
"I will." Lily helped him adjust his collar and patted his pocket lightly. "Take care of yourself. I heard it's
quite chaotic there."
"Okay." Alexander initially wanted to say that it was fine. After all, the factory had been there for more
than a few years. However, it was true that Burnwken was relatively chaotic. There were very few
citizens from Hyderland there.
Also, he was only flying over to check on the factory and visit the hospital to see what was happening.
He would probably return right after he settled everything. Therefore, there was no need for Lily to be
worried.
However, it was heartwarming to know that someone would be missing and worrying about him like
this, so he nodded obediently instead. "I really need to go now!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough Alexander was inexplicably reluctant, he would miss his plane if he did not leave now. Ever
since the two got together, they had never been separated like this, which was why the couple was
reluctant to part.
Anastasia returned home with a grin since she had not been this happy in a long time. Her heart was
whole. Constant hunger did not torment her, nor was she drowning in self-blame for overeating. She
felt a lot lighter, and there was even a bounce in her step.
Although Lily said she could not help her lose weight, Anastasia believed that losing weight would be
inevitable after practicing what Lily had taught her.
After all, wasn't controlling her diet interlinked with losing weight? Even if Lily disagreed, Anastasia
believed it would work. However, Anastasia's newfound spirit immediately sank when she entered the
door.
"Aunt Marie," she called out and pursed her lips. "What are you doing here again?"
Maria was sitting in the living room, eating some snacks. She looked up when she heard the movement
and waved. "You're finally back. What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Is there something important for you to have waited for me for so long?" Anastasia walked in a little
reluctantly. She began to feel like she had come home too early.
"Of course!" Maria exclaimed as she clapped her hand. She put down the snacks, got up, and walked
over. "Remember the miracle doctor I told you about two days ago? Right, how could you forget
something so important?"
'Oh, not this again!’ Anastasia thought.
She probably would not have minded it back then since she had already given up on herself.
However, she was starting to have hopes again. On top of that, the miracle doctor was someone who
Lily did not like. Since Lily did not like him, Anastasia would not either. Therefore, there was no need for
her to see him.
"Oh, are you talking about the charlatan?" Anastasia pretended to think before answering flatly, "I don't
think I need to see him."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'What do you mean by a charlatan? He's a legitimate miracle doctor!" Maria quickly retaliated
defensively. "It's okay. I get it. You don't leave the house often enough to understand the outside world.
Mr. Austin is Mr. Dominic's apprentice, and people recognize Mr. Dominic as a god regarding medicinal
herbs.
"Mr. Austin is his secret apprentice and the one he is most proud of! Do you know that people are lining
up to meet him? You don't know how much time and effort I've put into getting him to see you.
‘You're lucky they didn't hold any grudges against you because of what you did back then. You can't
call Mr. Austin a charlatan to his face!"
Anastasia was tired of hearing her aunt droning on about this miracle doctor. Without replying, she
walked to the kitchen counter and poured herself a glass of water.
Lily mentioned that drinking water promotes a faster metabolism. Therefore, Anastasia must drink more
water and cut out on sugary beverages.
