Abigail and Arthur didn't stay long in Ustistan. They returned to the country after she gave Anya a diagnosis and the prescription was filled. Then Anya began nursing her health with Chiobar's herb.
The smell and taste of Chiobar's herb were tolerable. She was supposed to take a small bag of it after the meal and she could do it no matter how terrible it tasted.
She kinda hated taking medicine but she had gone through a lot recently and felt she had grown mature and calm overnight. So, she just took it without a blink.
But Phil had prepared some sweetmeat in the fridge for her. Anya had meals in his place every day and he was afraid that she couldn't take the bitterness of Chiobar's herb.
When they were together before, it took a lot of trouble for her to take medicine when she fell sick. She groaned and moaned and refused to take it. He had no choice but to coax her in every way. He thought she had never had Chiobar's herb before and she would definitely reject and avoid it in every way.
To his surprise, Anya swallowed the Chiobar's herb in one breath without taking the sweetmeat. Her face wrinkled and twisted because of the bitter taste, but she didn't complain at all.
Phil passed her the dessert immediately, "Would you like some dessert to relieve the bitterness?"
Anya covered her mouth with one hand to relieve the bitterness, and shook the other hand, "No, thanks."
Phil took back his hand with the dessert in it. He frowned lightly and glanced at her, wondering why she refused to take some dessert since it was so bitter.
Anya seemed to have noticed his confusion. Then she uncovered her mouth and smiled idly, "A girl can be delicate only when she is loved."
"No one loves me or cares about me now. So, why the fuss?"
Phil was lost for words.
Anya was sharp-tongued and seized every chance to sting him.
No one loved or cared about her? How could it be possible?
How he wished he could love her and care about her with his heart and soul!
She knew it! She knew he still loved her, but she deliberately said something like that to make him feel bad.
Maybe as time passed, he would be fed up with her sarcasm and want to get back together with her someday.
Seeing him pursing his lips in silence, Anya couldn't bring herself to do it again.
In fact, she didn't want to sting him like this all the time. But she was worried that he would forget the pain and forget her once she stopped doing it.
Anya was busy with classes every day but she would drop by to see the baby and eat before she went to classes. Phil said he had hired a cook to cook their meals and she just accepted it naturally.
After all, she had to visit the baby every day and she could spend more time and energy on her study if she ate there by the way.
She had planned to finish school early but she abandoned the thought later since she had to take care of the baby and study at the same time after she got pregnant. Now Phil looked after the baby and she could be devoted to her school work again.
For Lorie, the baby, or even Phil, she had to finish school as soon as possible. She thought she just couldn't keep Phil around here in Ustistan by leaving everything behind in the country.
In a word, Anya was busy. Most of the time, she had to rush to school after eating and staying a short while with her daughter.
Sometimes, Phil had to go and handle business in the office. She would stay and take care of the baby. They cooperated well with each other.
Anya hadn't hit on Phil since Nina told her men would be impotent if they had held it back too often. She just kept an arm's length with him and treated him neither indifferently nor passionately.
