"Yes, yes, you're not stupid!" However, Maria couldn't help but grumble, "If you're not stupid, how can you get poisoned for so long without knowing?"
"Pardon?" Anastasia pretended not to hear her.
"Nothing!" Maria waved. "But this medicine…"
"I'll bring the medicine to Lily's house daily. From tomorrow onward, I won't be home as much. You shouldn't bother yourself by coming over so often. You can always call me if there's anything urgent," Anastasia reminded.
"The miracle doctor advised you not to eat outside and stay at home…"
"He also said I'd gotten poisoned, didn't he?" Anastasia interrupted. "I think he wasn't thinking straight that day. He didn't realize that it was more dangerous for me to be at home than outside."
"Tasia…"
"Aunt Maria, I know you're worried for me. What the miracle doctor said makes sense. He's afraid that I would lose control when I ate outside. It'll be fine if I don't eat! I've already told Lily that I will continue to control my food. You don't have to worry about me overindulging."
Anastasia knew her aunt's temper very well. The more she pushed her, the more lengthy she would be. If Anastasia had just played along, Maria would be at a loss for words.
Sure enough, Maria was silent for a while. "Did you tell Lily that you're poisoned?"
