Chapter 310

Anastasia and Salma returned to their hotel room. Salma remained silent, feeling a sense of shame when faced with her daughter.

“Mom, you barely ate anything at The Regal Palate. Do you want something to eat? You can rest after you’ve had something.” Anastasia suggested, “You could go and freshen up first.”

Salma’s leg injury had healed, and she could ditch the crutches. This brought comfort to Anastasia.
