Anastasia started to dwell on past confusions, suddenly feeling anxious. In a rush, she asked, “You’re saying Salma is looking for a child from four years ago? What the heck does that mean? What else did she say?”

“You’re Salma’s daughter and you don’t know about this?” Rose replied, “Not long ago, I bumped into Salma. She was asking about a kid who was sent to Rainbow Haven four years ago, said she was helping a friend look for them. The friend lost a child four years ago, left it at the doorstep of an orphanage. I checked when I got home. In those months, no girls were taken in by the orphanage.”

Anastasia knew all about Salma’s friends and relatives. No one among Salma’s friends had a child four years ago.
