Chapter 1509
While Maria complimented Anastasia, she wanted to take credit for herself, insinuating that Anastasia
would not have lost this much weight and looked much healthier without her help.
Anyhow, she believed Cameron owed them a big favor. They must get to the end of things with him
regarding this matter.
"If she had drunk it, she wouldn't look like this now." Rhea sneered and coldly glanced at Anastasia.
Anastasia shook Maria's hand off, stood up straight, and walked toward Rhea as she said, "What
should I look like then? How do you know what medications the miracle doctor prescribed to me? How
do you know their effects? Rhea, do you understand medicines too?"
Maria was puzzled and hurried to explain, "Ree was a medical student.
Have you forgotten...” "Rhea learned about modern medicine," Anastasia interrupted, "I didn't know she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlearned about medicinal herbs as well and being this good at it?" 'You're ignorant and haven't
performed well in your studies. What would you know?" Rhea said. She was never polite and respectful
when talking to Anastasia.
Ever since they were young, Rhea was not close to Anastasia, and Anastasia knew that Rhea did not
like her. As for a reason for Rhea's feelings, Anastasia had no idea either.
At the time, Anastasia was not obese and out of shape yet. Everyone regarded her as an adorable
child. She wanted to play with Rhea and have a cousin with whom she could hang out, but Rhea was
repelled by her and would either roll her eyes or mock her whenever they met.
After having her feelings hurt so many times, Anastasia learned not to take the initiative to talk to Rhea
anymore. However...
"Ree, don't say that!" Maria rebuked, not allowing her to continue with her words.
Fabian was getting impatient, not wanting to waste more time on such a minute matter, and asked
directly, "Tasia, when will your father come home? Does he come home often these days?" "I’m not
sure about that either. You know my father's working time is unpredictable when he gets busy. I don't
know if he comes home often too. He usually isn’t home when I go to bed and would leave before I
wake up the next morning." Anastasia looked innocent. "Uncle Fabian, I'm sure you’re aware that my
daddy has been that way since I was a kid."
That was right. Fabian would still comfort Anastasia in the past, but he was not in the mood, nor did he
have the patience for that now. Bluntly, he questioned, 'You don't know anything! It was fine when you
were younger, but you've grown up.
"Don’t you care about anything that happens around you? Do you know that your dad has a mistress?
You're going to have a stepmother soon!
Anastasia, you must learn to be aware of your surroundings! You're not a kid anymore!"
Anastasia blinked. "Uncle Fabian, how do you know all that?" "I..." Fabian did not know what to say
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhen Maria came to his rescue. "He heard it from someone else too. They saw your dad everywhere
with that woman. Do you know about that? Silly girl, why didn't you tell us about it earlier?" "I had no
idea about it!" Anastasia shook her head and said, "Still, even if it’s true, it's fine.” "It's fine?!" Fabian
exclaimed and widened his eyes. "Do you know what you're saying right now? Don’t you feel sorry for
your late mom? Your dad is going to marry another woman! That means you'll have a stepmother soon.
Aren't you anxious about that? Do you even know what a stepmother is? Do you?" "Uncle Fabian,
we’re not sure if the news is real yet. Even if it is, so what? My mom passed away for so many years,
and my dad has been single the whole time. If he could find someone who could take care of him and
love him, I'll be happy for him too.
"As for having a stepmother, not all the stepmothers in the world are evil. Plus, I'm an adult now. I won’t
be scared even if she doesn't treat me well. It wouldn't affect me."
As soon as she finished her sentence, Maria grabbed her hand hastily. "Oh, dear! Silly girl, how could
you be so naive?"
