The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 210

After getting a call from the hospital, Anastasia rushed over there with Herman. Only then did she find out that Salma had been hit by a scooter while crossing the road after grocery shopping in the morning, breaking her leg.

Looking at Salma's leg wrapped in a plaster cast, Anastasia asked with worry, "Mom, how did you end up like this?"

Salma explained simply, "I was hit by a delivery guy who was in a hurry. I didn’t notice the red light, and mistakenly thought it was green. Ana, it’s okay, I just need some rest."

What's done was done, and there was no point in arguing about it. The delivery guy who hit Salma was also responsible, and he willingly paid the medical fees.

But Salma also held some responsibility, so the delivery guy suggested sharing the cost with Anastasia. They were all just trying to make a living, and the delivery guy also had his own bills to pay.

Salma firmly refused his proposal. “Young man, you can go. I'll cover the rest of the medical expenses. I'm really sorry.”

The delivery guy heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Ma’am, I’ll leave you to rest. Take care of yourself.” He left quickly, afraid that Salma might change her mind.

In Anastasia's memory, Salma was always very cautious when crossing the street, always making sure it was safe before she crossed. This time she didn't notice the traffic light, and it was likely because of Tavon. His appearance had thrown Salma off balance, and she had been out of sorts ever since.

Then the doctor came over and said, “Family members, the patient needs to be admitted for observation. Please go handle the paperwork.”

Herman said, “I’ll go do it, Anastasia, you stay here with Salma.”

Anastasia nodded, and after Herman and the doctor left, she asked, “Mom, did your accident have anything to do with Tavon?”

“No,” Salma replied, and then added hesitantly, “I just didn’t see clearly.”
