Chapter 1376


    "How do you know Lily is not treating you as an experimentation tool herself?"


    Austin smiled meaningfully and took out a pen and a piece of paper.


    Then he lowered his head to write as he spoke casually, "I don’t mind you knowing that she and I are


    conducting research at the sameb.


    "She might know a little bit about alternative medicine and medicinal herbs.Of course, she is mainly a


    perfumer and might have obtained some knowledge of alternative medicine through self-learning."


    He paused and looked up at Anastasia.


    "Still, you guys should understand that those who self-learnck practical experience.Whenever there’s


    a chance, they’d jump at it."


    Enlightened by him, Maria looked at Anastasia and said, "Tasia, she’s using you as a guinea pig!"


    Anastasia could hardly speak for a moment.


    What Austin said had somehow unsettled her.She wanted to tell herself that what he said was false


    and that Lily would never treat her as a guinea pig.


    ‘If that is the case, howe Lily always says she’s not trying to help me slim down and doesn’t know


    how to cure people, even though she’s helping me adjust my diet n? If she had truly learned about


    herbal medicine, even by teaching herself, she could‘ve just told me, couldn’t she?’ "I know you''re a


    good friend to her, and you might not believe me.You can ask her to see if what I said is true."


    Putting his pen into his pocket, he let out a half-smile and did not seem to worry about being proved


    wrong.


    "Here’s the prescription.You decide whether to try it or not.It’s your choice if you don’t want to believe


    me.


    "As you said, it’s your body and health.If you don’t wish to be my tool of experimentation, why


    should you be someone else’s?" Austin got up.


    "I’ve said all I have to say.It’s up to you to decide what to do."


    He headed toward the door.


    Taken aback, Maria hurriedly chased after him.


    "Mr.Fike, we believe you! Of course, we believe you! What should we do next?"


    "If she’s willing to take medicine ording to the prescription, I''lle back ten dayster to take her


    pulse." He looked back and saw Anastasia sitting there in a daze with her back to him.


    She was overwhelmed by what he said.


    "Yes, we’ll surely follow your instructions,"


    Maria quickly answered, and she attentively saw him off.


    Sitting on the sofa, Anastasia kept thinking about what Austin said —that Lily had taught herself herbal


    medicine and that,cking practical experience, she would jump at any opportunity to experiment on


    anyone.


    Lily was double-checking a recipe.


    She was not an expert in cooking, but she had learned to read recipes for Anastasia.


    It was easy to look for weight-loss- friendly food, and all Lily needed to do was let the cooks in her


    house choose the right ingredients and prepare the meals ording to these recipes.


    However, considering Anastasia’s preference and what she did not like to eat, Lily always picked food


    that was not only suitable but would also please her.


    However, what mattered most was not the recipes or the menu.


    The challenging part was tackling theplex toxicity that Anastasia had in her.


    ‘Yes, she’s poisoned!’ At first, Lily was doubtful as the symptoms were mild.

    She had unintentionally learned about it when she took Anastasia’s pulse.


    If Lily’s guess was correct, the poisoning had something to do with the nts in Anastasia’s house.


    However, what mattered most was not the recipes or the menu.
