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 was 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.
