The Bound Between Us

Chapter 522

After a moment of surprise, Salma asked, "Is it life-threatening?"

Back in the day, she would have called Cynthia right away, offering her concern and support. But ever since the fiasco at Cynthia's birthday party, the two families had stopped talking to each other.

Gianna had deliberately dragged her feet, causing Anastasia to delay treatment, but Anastasia hadn't mentioned it to Salma. If she had, Salma might have gone straight over to give Gianna a piece of her mind.

Anastasia spoke up, "I'm not sure. Monica told me Joey and Gianna had a showdown right outside the café. Joey threw acid at Gianna; one ended up in the hospital, the other in the police station." Salma sighed, "After years of marriage, to end up like this, as enemies... it's just so sad."

They had been in love once, aiming for a happily ever after. Neither could have predicted this tragic ending. Now, it was a case of mutual destruction.

Then Salma remembered something, "Oh, Ana, your dad hasn't called this month. Has he reached out to you? Right after he moved back to Willowbrook, he used to call me every now and then, but I haven't heard from him in weeks." Anastasia answered, "No, nothing. When was the last time he called you?"
