Anastasia stayed until nightfall as Lily wanted to see how her body responded to the medicine.
The young woman had gone to the toilet five times in the afternoon. She did not feel much pain in her stomach, which kept growling and making her fart. Embarrassed, Anastasia wanted to leave several times, but Lily stopped her.
Lily told her that these were normal reactions to the medicine and she did not need to feel embarrassed. Besides, Lily had to observe Anastasia to make sure she was okay before she could make further adjustments to her prescription.
Anastasia had asked her if she should try the prescription given by Austin, but Lily did not allow her, saying that it might clash with hers. However, if she wanted to, she could try it after finishing Lily’s prescription.
Fully trusting Lily now, Anastasia, however, had given up that idea.
Stepping out of the toilet for the last time, she felt drained and sweating, like she had taken a hot bath. As the weather was not too warm, she thought she was simply too tired.
“Will I… get dehydrated?” She touched her stomach suspiciously.
She used to have diarrhea when she took some dubious weight loss medicine. Once, it was so severe that she became dehydrated and got put on IV drips in the hospital, where the doctor scolded her for messing with her health.
She did not want to repeat that experience this time.
“No, you’re physically weak and suffering from fluid retention, so it’s a normal reaction. Does your stomach hurt a lot?” Lily asked seriously.
Anastasia carefully tried to feel if there was any pain and shook her head. Different from the last time, it indeed was not painful, despite the rumbling in her intestines.
