Chapter 1394
"Now, don't you start overthinking. It might not be the maids." Lily paused as if she wanted to change
the subject but suddenly asked, "By the way, you don't really like flowers and plants, and you don't
know much about medicinal herbs either. Why do you have so many potted plants at home?"
Anastasia was still upset by what she heard and replied mechanically," Those were all sent by my aunt.
She said I'm not in good health and don't like to leave the house, so having more greenery is good for
me.
She continued to mumble, "My aunt mentioned how being surrounded by greens can lift someone's
mood, and they produce oxygen, which is good for my body. However, I don't think it made me feel any
better..."
Then she seemed to have remembered something and raised her head to look at Lily. "Could it be
those flowers and plants? Could it be that my aunt is trying to poison me? No! That's impossible!
Although my aunt nags me a lot and says hurtful things, she still cares about me.

her."
"I'm not trying to accuse your aunt. It doesn't necessarily have something to do with the flowers and
plants." Lily was afraid that Anastasia would spiral even further if they continued to discuss the
possibility that she might collapse, so Lily quickly said, "Enough about this. I'm still not sure what's
poisoning you. You don't have to be scared. I'm already thinking of a way to detoxify you. Listen to me.
I can cure you!"
At this point, Anastasia was barely listening. The only word that rang in her head was "poisoned." She
was dazed until she heard a word from the last sentence, "cure." It was as if she had been struck by
lightning, and she finally returned to her senses.
"Can it really be cured?" She asked cautiously.
"Of course, it can be cured!" Lily nodded affirmatively. What Anastasia needed most at this time was
assurance.
Then Lily added, "However, you have to be disciplined. You need to eat well and have enough rest.
Also, get rid of all the flowers and plants in your house and garden."
"Okay!" Anastasia nodded without hesitation.
She trusted Lily wholeheartedly now. Upon agreeing, Anastasia suddenly found it a little strange.
"Didn't you say the poisoning has nothing to do with the flowers and plants? Why do I have to dispose
of them?"
"I don't know if it has anything to do with them, but your house is packed! It may get too stuffy if you
keep all the plants there. If you want to, put a few simple ferns in there." After a moment of thought, Lily
said, "Bring them to me. I have a place to keep them anyway. Maybe I can use the plants for my
research if they are useful."
"All right!" Anastasia nodded repeatedly. Now, she would agree to everything Lily said.
"I'll listen to you! I trust you!" Anastasia emphasized as if she was still sorry for having doubted Lily.
Seeing Anastasia's anxiety, Lily put down her silverware and looked up at Anastasia. "Tasia, don't
worry. I know you've failed to lose weight in the past. Besides trying the wrong methods, it's not entirely
your fault. The poison might have affected your physical state, and you're unaware of it. The toxins

"Now that you know the source of the problem, solving it won't be an issue. Your body will get better!"
Lily said with certainty, "You're still young. Don't worry! The most important thing is to keep a calm
mind, understand?"
Her words were gentle but powerful. Eventually, Anastasia felt herself calming down. When she looked
at Lily again, she wasn't as flustered as before.
"By the way, about your poisoning..." Initially, Lily wanted to tell Anastasia not to inform her aunt about
the plants, but after thinking about it, Austin might have already mentioned it. "What I'm trying to say is,
will your aunt object if you give those plants to me?"
"No! They're mine since she has already given them to me! I don't think my aunt cares much about
these things. She never asked about them after they were delivered. There were a few that I didn't
know how to tend to, and they eventually died. She never asked about them either," Anastasia
answered affirmatively.
"She probably couldn't tell if a few of them died, but if all of them are gone, I'm sure she'll ask." "You
mean..." After a moment of hesitation, Anastasia finally understood what Lily meant.
