The Bound Between Us

Chapter 211

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.

Salma was getting on in years, and her friends were all in their forties or fifties; no way were they still having babies. Salma was lying.

Anastasia thought back to that dream and the strange things Cason had said before, She remembered the unease she felt when Alessia was giving birth. Suddenly, a realization hit her, making her feel cold and numb all over.

The child lost four years ago, could it have been… her own?

Anastasia’s head throbbed with pain. She couldn’t remember the lost memories, no matter how hard she tried, it was all a blank. Anastasia forced herself to calm down, asking, “What else did Salma say about the child? When was the child lost?”
