Chapter 1307


    "I wouldn''t mind that." Lily noticed Anastasia looked weak and appeared tired after saying just a few


    words. "Do you get tired easily?"


    With a pillow under her head, Anastasia nodded, her gaze lowered. "Yeah. I''m fat andzy, so I get


    fatigued easily."


    "Are youzy? You''re not," Lily pointed to the few bonsai pots in the corner. ‘You managed those


    nts, didn''t you? How could you call yourselfzy when you could care for and prune those nts so


    well."


    Upon hearing that, Anastasia looked toward the nts. They had a lush appearance and were well-


    maintained. The most exciting thing about them was that Anastasia had pruned them into the shapes of


    cartoon animals.


    "How did you know I was the one who pruned them?" Anastasia smiled." Why didn''t you think the


    maids did it?"


    Lily shook her head. "They wouldn''t have pruned the bonsai into such cute shapes if it were them. Only


    someone as innocent as a child would do something as such."


    "Innocent..." Anastasia repeated the word softly before she sighed. "I''m 21 this year. What innocence


    do I have left? Plus, no kid would look like this."


    Anastasia patted her belly, looking unhappy about it. Lily could tell Anastasia felt insecure and


    frustrated about her weight. After all, she was a girl, and all girls would feel insecure about their bodies,


    especially when they had extra meat on them.


    Lily did not want to say things like her heart mattered instead of her appearance. After all, a youngdy


    at her age who was born into a wealthy family would wish she was youthful and beautiful.


    "Has your body been like this since you were a child, or did you suddenly gain a lot of weight?" Lily


    asked directly.


    That made Anastasia tilt her head to look at Lily. Her gaze had a hint of sadness in them. "I guess...it''s


    since I was young. But I wasn''t this fat back then, perhaps just slightly chubbier than other kids."


    After a pause, she continued, "My mom passed away long ago, and dad was always busy with work.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    No one cared about what I ate. The maids would just prepare the food I told them to make-all the things


    I loved to eat but were unhealthy for me. Then..."


    Her voice softened. "I just kept eating, and one day, I realized I couldn''t stop anymore, then this


    happened."


    Lily nodded, showing her understanding of the matter. A child whocked love andpanionship


    since they were young would choose other ways to cope. That was how they could feel less lonely in


    this world.


    Some would seekpanionship from their friends, some would harm themselves, and some bottled


    their feelings until they developed depression. As for Anastasia, she probably chose food as her form


    of sce.


    As Anastasia had a unique identity, Cameron had to protect her in various ways to ensure her safety


    since she was young. It was difficult for her to make any true friends, and it was not like she could talk


    that much to her maids and nanny at home.


    Hence, she was always by herself. It had always been only her and her feelings.


    "Have you visited a psychiatrist before?"


    This question stunned Anastasia. She blinked, thinking that Lily had made a mistake. "Shouldn''t I visit


    the...endocrinologist?"


    ‘My dad and uncle brought me to many hospital departments before this and even made me try


    acupuncture. Dad wanted me to get gastric bypass surgery but feared it would hurt my body. However,


    if this goes on, getting that surgery is probably the only choice left for me.’ "What did the


    endocrinologist say?" Lily asked another question seriously, but it did not repel Anastasia.


    The two chatted casually about her weight, her obesity, and also her illness.
