The Bound Between Us

Chapter 447

Gianna had just been checking the route on her phone, but now she was using the car's navigation system. The screen displayed a one-mile traffic jam, estimating they'd be stuck for at least ten minutes. Hearing this, Anastasia felt a chill run down her spine. She wasn't sure she could endure another ten minutes.

The car was bumper-to-bumper, and Gianna, anxious but determined, took every chance to inch forward. She stuck her head out of the window and yelled, "Excuse me! We have a pregnant woman bleeding heavily in here. Please let us through!" Her shouts had some effect, but not much. Nevertheless, Gianna's actions clearly showed her concern and effort to help Anastasia.

By the time they finally reached the hospital, forty minutes had passed, and Anastasia had lost consciousness.

Salma rushed Anastasia into the emergency room and then slumped outside, overwhelmed. Her daughter was everything to her. Gianna tried to comfort her, saying, "Aunt Salma, don't worry, she'll be alright."

But her words fell flat. How could Anastasia be alright in such a dire state?

Without a word, Salma dialed Herman's number, her voice trembling, "Son-in-law, Anastasia... she's in trouble. She's bleeding badly..."

Herman was stunned. He stood frozen for five seconds, his face turning pale, before shouting to his assistant, "Nelson, book me a flight now. I need to get back to Riverdale immediately."
