His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1437

Anastasia thought her aunt had told Rhea to ask her about that, so Anastasia nodded and lied to avoid any trouble.

Nonetheless, the prescription would not work because Lily said it was unsuitable for Anastasia’s case. Therefore, Anastasia obeyed Lily’s request and did not take Austin’s prescription. However, she could not let her aunt find out, or Maria would go on another ramble.

Rhea squinted.

'Liar! She wouldn’t be like this if she had taken Austin’s prescription. Although she might lose some weight, she would still be depressed and groggy. She mustn’t have taken it, yet she lies so casually. She has grown up!’

"Oh, why are you so free today? I heard from Aunt Maria that you've been very busy. It sounds like you're working in some lab?" Anastasia asked as she walked over with two glasses of water and handed one to Rhea.

When Rhea took the glass from her cousin, Anastasia had no idea if Rhea had initially touched her wrist before sliding her hand down to grab the glass. This startled Anastasia, and she almost dropped the glass.

"Yeah. I'm a part of a project, so I'm there to conduct some experiments," Rhea answered lightly. After taking a sip of water, she watched Anastasia gulp hers down. "I recall you hating plain water. You'd typically add sugar to it. What changed?"

"I can't always stick to my bad habits," Anastasia answered emotionally.

She hated plain water in the past. The drinks she liked were sugared fruit juices and sodas. Later, she dared not drink any of that once she was on a diet. However, she would still crave them. Now that Lily had taught her to gradually adapt to drinking plain water, Anastasia had gotten used to it. Lily even recommended adding a piece of lemon if she wanted to.

"What kind of experiment are you doing?" Anastasia looked up and asked curiously. "I remember you studying biomedicine back in college."

"I did." The corners of Rhea's lips twitched, and a meaningful smile flashed across her face. "I didn't think you'd remember."
