The Bound Between Us

Chapter 48

Anastasia stood there, speechless, while Joey was clearly freaked out.

His secret, hidden for so many years, was now discovered by Anastasia If Gianna found out, he would be in deep shit.

Joey quickly ushered the woman to the car and she grumbled as she asked, “Who is she? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. What’s there to be afraid of?” Joey tried to explain calmly, “She’s Gianna’s cousin”

Upon hearing this, the woman found it amusing. “So she’s your wife’s cousin. No big deal if they find out. I’m not planning to keep the secret forever. I’m pregnant now, I can’t hide it.”

Anastasia, after hearing this and looking at the woman again, found her familiar. Then she remembered, wasn’t this woman a nurse who worked with Joey in the same hospital?

Anastasia had seen her a couple of times when she went to Joey’s hospital with her mother, Salma, who was sick. She vaguely remembered her.

Joey didn’t actually work at Hope Hospital. He brought the woman here for her prenatal checkup because he didn’t want anyone to know.

“Go back to the car, I’ll talk to her, Joey insisted, sending the woman off first.

The woman reluctantly left with a roll of her eyes.
