His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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…"

"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.
