His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377

Lily wondered why there were so many plants and herbs around when she visited Anastasia's house for the first time, even though the young woman did not particularly like them.

It would be normal if Anastasia was into herbs and loved to study them, but she knew nothing about plants. 'Anastasia gave me such valuable agarwood, and several expensive medicinal herbs are all around her home. Some herbs with potent smells are in the yard, while those with mild or refreshing aromas are in the house. 'Such a variety of plants put randomly in one place could very well be the cause of the poisoning"

Of course, those were just Lily's speculations, and she was unsure.

It was why she visited Dominic, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable.

Having been to many places, he might have studied these things.

Since Dominic admitted that her theory was plausible, she could be right.

Lily's first step was to devise a proper diet plan so Anastasia could eliminate her food anxiety.

If the young girl could end self-suppression and stop blaming herself for taking a reasonable amount of food, it would be a success.

The next step was to visit the Rollins.

Lily wanted to take a good look at the herbs and remove them to address the root cause.

As for the poisoning, Lily could not simply use any medicine.

She had to find out what sort of poison it was to come up with a counteracting prescription.

She had not told these things to Anastasia.

On the one hand, she worried that Anastasia would feel pressure, which would be bad for losing weight because the more significant the stress, the tenser she would get. On the other hand, Lily had no concrete proof, and Anastasia might think she was being an alarmist.

Besides, she had yet to find out where these herbs were from.

'Let me take it one step at a time. There's no hurry anyway"

Just as Lily wrote down her recipe, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She looked over at it, saw the word "Hubby" flashing on the screen, and her heart started pounding.

She put down her pen, snatched the phone, and answered it in a quivering voice, "Hello?"

"Lily, have you gone to bed yet?"

Lily wanted to burst into tears after hearing Alexander's familiar and deep voice.

She had always thought she was tough enough and that there was nothing to worry about, but she grew restless from being unable to reach him for the last few days. Lily held back her emotions and said calmly, "Not yet."

"Sorry, you must be worried."

Alexander let out a soft breath and softly spoke as if he worried he might disturb his wife's sleep.

Lily could no longer fight back her tears and wept as her pent-up worries and frustration burst forth. "So you knew I'd get worried, huh?"

She could not help but blame Alexander as he made her anxious for a few days.

However, his voice calmed her, no matter how troubled she felt.

"Sorry.I'm really sorry! The signal is terrible here, and the situation is a bit complicated, so..."

Although he did not say it, Lily could tell from his voice that he was exhausted.

All of a sudden, her anger was replaced by great concern.

"Why? What happened over there? Did someone poison the food?"

'If he says the situation is complicated, it might not be a simple accident"
