The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 334

As Anastasia hesitated, she met the curious gaze of Salma. "The doctor said it would be difficult for me to conceive." She confessed.

"What?" Salma's complexion turned pale, "Why would it be difficult for you to conceive?"

Anastasia explained, "The car accident a while back injured my back. When I had my first child, complications arose, making it hard for me to get pregnant again."

Salma was immediately worried, "Does your husband know?"

In most marriages, the absence of a child was often a problem. A marriage couldn’t be solidified by merely adopting a child. Love and novelty often faded in marriage, leaving the children as the bond that held the family together.

Anastasia nodded, "He knows. I've told him about it, and he doesn't mind." She didn't mention Herman's infertility, considering it was a matter of man's dignity. Even to her mother, it was hard to bring up.

"But what about the future?" Salma fretted, "You guys are newlyweds now, so it's easy to say such things. But as age grows, especially for men, they'll want a child of their own. The Salstrom family is a big and influential one, your husband won't be able to not want a child of his own, and your in-laws won't agree either. Look at what happened to Gianna."

Salma's worry for her daughter's marriage was palpable. A marriage without children lacked security and assurance. Gianna's marriage had broken down after eight years of childlessness. That was the biggest reason for the collapse.

Anastasia grew anxious at her mother's words. What if Herman's infertility was cured and he wanted a child of his own? She didn't dare to think deeper, "Mom, Herman won't, I trust him. We have Pattie."

"But Pattie isn't your biological child." Salma sighed, deciding to find some home remedies that could help Anastasia to conceive.
