Chapter 1427


    Rhea knew what her mother was like and repeated to emphasize her point, "I genuinely don’t want

    them anymore, so don’t bring them back, okay? If you do, I’ll throw them away, believe it or not!"


    "Okay! Okay!"


    Maria nodded repeatedly and believed that her headstrong daughter would do such a thing.


    ‘If you don’t want them, then so be it.There’s no need to get so riled up, is there?’ Rhea took out a hand


    cream, squeezed some onto the back of her hands, rubbed them together, and slowly spread the


    cream while asking, "So you’re saying Lily Russell has taken all nts away?"


    "I guess so.I can only say that it’s hard to see even a strand of grass at your uncle’s house since Tasia


    has moved all the nts away.Now I think the house looks empty and cold without them."


    Maria hugged herself and made a show of shuddering to indicate that she was not used to the change.


    "Has Lily studied medicine before?" Rhea asked thoughtfully.


    When she noticed Maria’s puzzled look, she added, "Didn’t you say she helped Anastasia adjust her


    diet?"


    "Ha!" Maria waved dismissively.


    "She''s only just winging it.


    What does Lily know about medicine? She’s only saying some ambiguous stuff to hoodwink your


    cousin! Only Tasia is foolish enough to believe her."


    "Oh, yeah?" Rhea said ndly, not quite believing her mother.


    She knew her mother well, after all.


    ‘She often judges a matter subjectively, like how she regards Austin Fike and Lily Russell.Before this,


    she had hired many mainstream and alternative medicine physicians, including new- age healers,


    iming they were miracle doctors.Yet, she has no idea that her very own daughter is the real medical


    expert."


    Therefore, Rhea would only believe her mother''s helpful information, nothing else.


    "yeah!"


    Maria wanted to say something else, but seeing Rhea cock her head while coldly and meticulously


    applying the hand cream, she could tell her daughter cared more about it than her.


    Maria suddenly did not know what to say to Rhea.


    There were too few topics they could talk about, and very often, she was the one who would keep


    yapping while Rhea asionally gave nd responses.


    Rhea’s reaction today was considered rare.


    "Ree, I better get going,"


    Maria hesitated and said tentatively.


    "Okay,"


    "Okay,"Rhea responded nonchntly without even lifting her eyelids.


    Although Maria wanted to stay longer, she knew bean she could not get her daughter to talk much and


    would risk upsetting her, causing Rhea to leave the house.She walked to the doorway and paused as


    she closed the door.


    Maria saw her daughter rubbing the cream unto her fingertips with her head cocked.


    Half of Rhea’s body glowed attractively and warmly under the light, while the other half was covered in


    shadow and looked so cold that Maria shuddered despite herself.


    ‘Is there no way to close the emotional gap between Ree and me?’
