Whispers Of Betrayal (Anastasia and Alastor)

Chapter 37

“Why else would that happen? Who else can make the village head’s son kneel and beg me?” Anastasia had always thought that Alastor was the one who helped her, so she was very grateful to him, promising him a blitz marriage.

Because she not only wanted a home but also the sense of security that Alastor could give.

She once wanted favoritism and a future that she could look forward to.

Buzz!

Anastasia’s phone vibrated. She glanced at it, noticing a call from Zeke.

Annoyed, Anastasia ended the call without picking it up.

But Zeke called again soon. It seemed that he had something urgent to tell her.

“Hello?” Anastasia answered.

“Anastasia, I’m Sienna. Dad is in trouble. He is in the hospital now and has a brain hemorrhage, needing surgery. Please deliver us some money,” Sienna’s anxious voice came from the phone.

Sienna was not anxious because she was worried about Zeke. Instead, she was anxious for Anastasia to send her the money.

Anastasia breathed hard and said in a hoarse voice. “Which hospital? What’s going on?”

“The emergency department of Hork General Hospital. Please come quickly.”
