Chapter 454

Inside the hospital.

Anastasia woke up from her unconscious state in the early hours of the morning.

She opened her eyes and saw Herman, hunched over on the couch nearby. A deep, indescribable pain filled her chest.

Licking her dry lips, she thought of the baby they had lost. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Noticing that Anastasia was awake, Herman immediately stood up. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Anastasia, are you okay? Are you hungry? Thirsty?"

Herman hadn't rested for a whole day and night. He had traveled to New York for business, pulling an all-nighter. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked worn out.
