The Bound Between Us

Chapter 212

The doctor’s words hit Anastasia like a ton of bricks.

She had had a child before. She thought back on the years that passed. Every time she fell ill and was hospitalized, whether it was just a cold or something more serious, Salma or Monica would always be there to keep her company.

She remembered during her last check-up, when the doctor asked if she’d ever had a child, Monica had jumped in to answer. And now, it was as if everything fell into place. Anastasia suddenly understood what important piece of her life she had forgotten

Turned out, she had forgotten she had a daughter.

Grief washed over Anastasia, and tears suddenly spilled down her cheeks, startling the doctor.

“What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you? Do you really want a child? Although your uterus is in an unusual position, and pregnancy might be difficult, modern medicine has made great strides. We can’t say for certain that you can’t have children.”

The doctor’s words stung like a slap in the face. “So, you’re saying it’d be hard for me to get pregnant again?” she asked.

The doctor hesitated a bit before saying, “According to your check-up results, your uterus isn’t positioned like most women’s. It was indeed a miracle that you were able to conceive last time. Plus, your back injury should be quite severe. I would advise against trying to get pregnant again, as it could be dangerous.”

Anastasia was actually quite healthy. But wanting a child could indeed present some difficulties.
