Chapter 1398
"There's no need for that," Anastasia said flatly as she lowered her head to drink more water. "I didn't
tell my father, so you shouldn't either."
"Why?!" Maria was surprised. "How could you not tell your father about something so severe?!’
’My father has been worn out recently so I don't want to disturb him. Besides, if my dad finds out about
this, he will surely make a big fuss. I don't want things to get out of hand before I know the truth.
"Since this person is someone close to me, I want to talk with them and ask why they would do this to
me." Then Anastasia raised her head to look at Maria. "Aunt Maria, will you help me with this?"
Maria was stunned by her question for a moment before quickly recovering and saying, ’Yes, of course!
Of course, I'll help you! It's just..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We shouldn't discuss this now and keep it a secret between us. Once we've cleared things up, I'll tell
my father that you've helped me all this time and even found me a miracle doctor to help cure my
illness," Anastasia said with a slight smile.
’I'll also tell him that it was the miracle doctor's idea to keep things under wraps until things are settled
before he starts treating me."
Hearing this, Maria thought it made sense. Although Anastasia seemed a little cold before, she still
trusted Maria. Even if there were times when Anastasia would snap back at Maria, she still turned to
her aunt in the end.
This gave Maria a great sense of comfort and satisfaction. She nodded with a smile. "Okay. You're
right. Let's not tell your father yet. However, you have to be careful. Let me look at the food before you
eat it."
"I've also thought about this. Since I've gotten poisoned in my own house, I won't be eating at home
anymore. I'll be going over to Lily's place for my meals. That way, the culprit won't stand a chance."
Anastasia came up with this excuse to allow her to go to Lily's place without needing to hide.
"But..." Maria was startled. This was not what she meant.
Before she could continue, Anastasia interrupted her, "Aunt Maria, I've thought about it. We shouldn't
dismiss the housekeepers here. After all, I don't know who did it. We might accidentally let the culprit
go."
"Still, you'd be in danger."
'It's fine. The culprit probably has no intention of killing me soon, seeing that I've been poisoned for so
long. I've secretly installed surveillance cameras in the house. If the person tries anything again, there
will be evidence. Don't worry, Aunt Maria."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she said this, Maria began to look around subconsciously as the hairs on her arms stood on
ends. Even though she did nothing, she found it unsettling to be under observation.
Tasia, is it necessary for you to do all this?" She could not help but comment, "Why don't you just tell
your father and let him-"
"If I tell my dad, it won't benefit us," Anastasia chimed in. "If we find out who this person is, we’d get to
know what poison they've been feeding me. That way, it's easier for the doctor to help me. If this gets
to my dad, the culprit might bring it to their grave."
Frowning, Maria began to reconsider it and felt that Anastasia was right.
Then she sensed that something was different about her niece. "Hey, why have I never realized how
intelligent you are? Everything you said made perfect sense! Who taught you all this? Is it Lily?!"
Even the mention of Lily caused dark clouds to form over Maria. However, Anastasia shook her head.
"What's that supposed to mean, Aunt Maria? Was I stupid before this? I admit I'm fat, but I'm not
stupid!"
