His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 1553

Maria was so shocked that she had no words because she did not expect Anastasia to say that. Her tears had even stopped falling.

"Since you brought it up, let's talk it out," Cameron straightened his back and said sternly, "I trust that you two aren't involved in this matter, although Maria, you were the one who sent those harmful herbal plants over. Still, I trust you knew nothing about it."

The mention of her name made her blood run cold. "What did you say? What harmful plants?"

"Before this, you sent Tasia a lot of herbs frequently, and it has filled up the whole place." Cameron motioned to remind her of them.

Maria admitted that and nodded, but she was puzzled. "What does that have anything to do with Anastasia getting poisoned? Do you mean to say that... those herbs poisoned her? The miracle doctor didn't mention that!"

"You're right. It's those herbs precisely," Anastasia nodded and said, "The miracle doctor has never brought it up, but that doesn't mean others are clueless about it. Also, I didn't get better because of his prescription. I didn't even take them because they're useless!"

The series of events was overwhelming for Maria. She was in a daze and felt that she had lost all her senses and could not hear and understand what Anastasia was saying.

"You... How did you recover if you didn't take the miracle doctor's prescribed medicine? Also, the miracle doctor knew you got poisoned. Even if you don't want to owe me a favor, you don't have to make things up like this!" Maria felt aggrieved, and her expression was terrible at this moment.

After all, she had been occupied with this matter for a long time. It hurt her when she heard it was all ultimately useless.

"The miracle doctor knows what he's doing, but he's not the best doctor," Anastasia said lightly, "As the medicines he prescribed were useless, there was no need for me to take them. But it's good enough for him that he could tell that I was poisoned and not just obese.

"I could recover because there was an expert helping me. Aunt Maria, you don't need to be too concerned about this. However, I suffered chronic poisoning because of those herbal plants Rhea asked you to send over.

"I trust that you had no idea about it, and Rhea was the one who did all that." Anastasia looked in Rhea's direction like a judge in the court of law.

It only made Rhea chuckle. "How ridiculous! It's my first time hearing that herbal plants could cause someone to suffer from chronic poisoning! Plus, I studied modern medicine, so I wouldn't know much about medicinal herbs!

"Do you think I could use such a complicated method to do this to you? Also, why would I poison you? Why are the maids fine if it's because of those plants? Why is Uncle Cameron fine too? Why were you the only one who turned out this way?

"Perhaps you became fat because of your body type. I already found it ridiculous when you said you got poisoned! Still, I can't believe that you pushed the blame on me and said I poisoned you! You're just saying whatever you want here!"

Rhea shook her head and smiled, looking like Anastasia had wrongfully blamed her and was feeling aggrieved.

Anastasia wanted to speak again, but Cameron stopped her and said sternly, "Rhea! If you keep up this attitude, I will deal with this matter how it's supposed to be dealt with and call the cops!"
