Chapter 1426


    Maria noticed her daughter’s disdainful tone and hurriedly said, "Ree, you have no idea because you


    weren’t there.The miracle doctor is amazing.Out of so many doctors, only he knew that Tasia had


    gotten poisoned and her obesity had an umon cause.Besides, after taking his prescription, I can


    see that she’s getting better."


    "Oh, yeah? How is she better?"


    Rhea smirked, but no one could tell if she was smiling.


    Maria thought her daughter’s reaction was weird but did not think much about it.


    As Rhea rarely showed concern for Anastasia and was willing to talk more, Maria started to babble on


    the topic, "She looks slimmer, but a fatty can quickly lose weight anyway, and there’s no telling how


    much she would eventually lose.


    "However, Tasia has been in good spirits.She used to look sick whenever I talked to her, but not


    anymore.Anyway, I now feel strange going to your uncle’s house.Every time I step through the gate, I


    feel like I’ve entered the wrong house.


    "I haven’t gotten used to it yet."


    She felt it was funny and almost thought the ce had gotten robbed when she noticed how empty it


    was.


    Rhea grew curious when she saw her mother’s smile.

    "Why aren’t you used to it? What changed?"


    "Well, the house is the same, but the nts you told me to send over are gone," Maria said casually.


    "Gone?!"


    Rhea bolted to her feet and startled Maria.


    Maria did not expect such a massive reaction.


    She thought Rhea cared about the nts and hurriedly said, "Calm down! They didn’t get stolen but


    got lent to someone else temporarily.They’ ll return eventually."


    "Lent to someone else? To whom?" Rhea was still standing.


    She looked agitated and not void of emotion like her usual self.


    "You...calm down, okay?"


    Maria hesitated as she tried to soothe her daughter.


    "I’m not sure, but I recall Tasia saying she lent them to Lily Russell.


    You know Lily deals with raw materials and probably found the nts useful?


    "Tasia is such an innocent child and listens to whatever that woman says.I’ve already told her not to


    hang out with Lily too often, but Tasia never listens..."


    Maria paused momentarily and assessed her daughter''s expression.She knew Rhea was angry.


    "Are the nts important? Should I tell Tasia to get them back?"


    "There’s no need!"


    Rhea sat down with a stiff face.


    Although she said so, one could easily tell she was still mad.


    Maria knew her daughter did not mean it and said, "If they’re useful, we must take them back.


    Since Lily has only borrowed them, there’s no reason we can’t get her to return the nts!


    "If you need the nts, why did you give them to Tasia in the first ce? You should have kept them,


    shouldn’t you? I know you truly care about Tasia, although you act like you don’t, and that is why you''ve


    given her the good stuff, haven''t you? "Oh, Ree, you’re so kind-hearted."


    Maria felt moved and thought her daughter was an angel.


    "Rest assured, I’ll go thereter and get them back to our house!"


    She wanted to say more, but Rhea rudely interjected.


    "I said there’s no need! Can’t you understand???"


    Maria was astonished when her daughter shouted at her.She gaped at Rhea wordlessly.


    Rhea noticed her mother’s horrified expression and sighed.


    Then she knitted her brow slightly while softening her tone.


    "I mean, there’s no need.Since I gave the nts to Anastasia, it doesn’t concern me whom she gives


    them to."


    "Oh..."


    Maria snapped out of her trance and answered dully.Yet, from how she looked, she still had not


    recovered from her shock..
