The Bound Between Us

Chapter 309

Anastasia had no clue that Sean hadn’t been informed about the successful matching for the transplant. Looking at the four different faces in the room, Anastasia lost interest in sticking around. She thought, let them deal with this mess on their own. “I don’t think I need to stay for dinner considering the circumstances.” Anastasia said, “I’ll get going.”

With that, she left.

When she reached the door, she saw Salma who had returned earlier. In reality, Salma had never left. She was lingering at the door, keeping an eye on Anastasia and listening to the sounds inside the room.

Salma’s eyes were red-rimmed. She had finally seen Tavon for who he really was and it was too much for her to bear. Tavon’s real reason for inviting Anastasia to Willowbrook was to get her to donate bone marrow.

Anastasia didn’t say anything; she just silently took her mother’s hand and left.

Back in the private room.

Anastasia’s words had thrown the family into turmoil.

Ashley quickly tried to explain, “Sean, Anastasia is trying to pit us against each other. She’s lying to you. Sandy, don’t believe what Anastasia said. We love you so much, and we would never not try to save you.” Ashley was scared that Sandy would blame her for standing by and doing nothing. She could be selfish, but she couldn’t let her daughter know that.

Tavon added, “Sandy, don’t worry. Daddy will find a suitable bone marrow donor for your surgery.”

Sandy didn’t say anything, she just quietly nodded. Sean didn’t believe their words. “Let me and my sister get tested again.” He said.

“There’s no need for you two to get tested again.” Ashley replied anxiously. She was worried her son would impulsively try to save his sister. She signaled to Tavon, “Take Sandy back to the car. I’ll settle the bill with Sean.”
