As they pulled apart, Alexander could not help but peck her lips several more times. "Wait for me!"
"I will." Lily helped him adjust his collar and patted his pocket lightly. "Take care of yourself. | heard it's quite chaotic there."
"Okay." Alexander initially wanted to say that it was fine. After all, the factory had been there for more than a few years. However,
it was true that Burnwken was relatively chaotic. There were very few citizens from Hyderland there.
Also, he was only flying over to check on the factory and visit the hospital to see what was happening. He would probably return
right after he settled everything. Therefore, there was no need for Lily to be worried.
However, it was heartwarming to know that someone would be missing and worrying about him like this, so he nodded obediently
instead. "I really need to go now!"
Although Alexander was inexplicably reluctant, he would miss his plane if he did not leave now. Ever since the two got together,

Anastasia returned hwith a grin since she had not been this happy in a long time. Her heart was whole. Constant hunger did
not torment her, nor was she drowning in self-blfor overeating. She felt a lot lighter, and there was even a bounce in her step.
Although Lily said she could not help her lose weight, Anastasia believed that losing weight would be inevitable after practicing
what Lily had taught her.
After all, wasn't controlling her diet interlinked with losing weight? Even if Lily disagreed, Anastasia believed it would work.
However, Anastasia’s newfound spirit immediately sank when she entered the door.
"Aunt Marie," she called out and pursed her lips. "What are you doing here again?"
Maria was sitting in the living room, eating ssnacks. She looked up when she heard the movement and waved. "You're finally
back. What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Is there something important for you to have waited forfor so long?" Anastasia walked in a little reluctantly. She began to feel
like she had chtoo early.
"Of course!" Maria exclaimed as she clapped her hand. She put down the snacks, got up, and walked over. "Remember the miracle
doctor | told you about two days ago? Right, how could you forget something so important?"
‘Oh, not this again!” Anastasia thought.
She probably would not have minded it back then since she had already given up on herself.
However, she was starting to have hopes again. On top of that, the miracle doctor was someone who Lily did not like. Since Lily did
not like him, Anastasia would not either. Therefore, there was no need for her to see him.

"Oh, are you talking about the charlatan?" Anastasia pretended to think before answering flatly, "I don't think | need to see him."
"What do you mean by a charlatan? He's a legitimate miracle doctor!" Maria quickly retaliated defensively. "It's okay. | get it. You
don't leave the house often enough to understand the outside world. Mr. Austin is Mr. Dominic's apprentice, and people recognize
Mr. Dominic as a god regarding medicinal herbs.
“Mr. Austin is his secret apprentice and the one he is most proud of! Do you know that people are lining up to meet him? You don't
know how much tand effort I've put into getting him to see you.
“You're lucky they didn’t hold any grudges against you because of what you did back then. You can't call Mr. Austin a charlatan to
his face!"
Anastasia was tired of hearing her aunt droning on about this miracle doctor. Without replying, she walked to the kitchen counter
and poured herself a glass of water.
Lily mentioned that drinking water promotes a faster metabolism. Therefore, Anastasia must drink more water and cut out on
sugary beverages.
