The Bound Between Us

Anastasia could comfort others, but she couldn’t solve her own worries. As she left, she played with the child in Alessia’s arms, but looking at the child’s appearance, she couldn’t suppress the sadness in her heart. She couldn’t explain why she felt so sad.

Anastasia took a taxi home, and shortly after arriving, Katelyn came over with delicious food.

“Anastasia, this is freshly stewed porcini mushroom soup. Eat it while it’s hot. I also brought these ingredients for you, and when Herman comes back, I’ll have him cook for you.”

“Thank you, Katelyn.” Anastasia was filled with gratitude in her heart. “You’re so kind to me.”

“Of course.” Katelyn smiled and said, “Hurry up and eat.”

Looking at Katelyn and thinking about Dana, Anastasia felt that she was really much happier than Alessia. Although Katelyn was only Herman’s aunt, she treated Anastasia very well. Even if Katelyn were Herman’s biological mother, there would certainly be no conflicts between Anastasia and her. Katelyn was kind–hearted and treated Anastasia like her own daughter, and Anastasia could feel it.

Anastasia ate the soup while glancing at her phone. Apart from the previous message, Salma hadn’t sent any more messages. This was very unusual. Anastasia was discharged from the hospital, so why hadn’t Salma reacted at all?

“Katelyn, have you noticed anything unusual about Salma when you’ve been with her recently?”

Katelyn thought for a moment and said, “I have noticed that Salma seems to have something on her mind lately. A few days ago, I saw Salma arguing with a woman at the entrance of the neighborhood. I asked her what happened, but she didn’t say anything. Anastasia, if you have time, go and ask her.”

Anastasia felt uneasy in her heart. She looked at the time, it was already five in the afternoon. “Katelyn, I’ll go see Salma later.”
