Anastasia dialed up Duncan, setting a meet at the café next to the hospital. She also made a call to Anthony at the orphanage.

Anastasia did not question Anthony. Instead, she spoke in a casual tone, “Thanks, Anthony, for the effort in finding my daughter. She has been found now. I really appreciate it.”
