The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 69

Anastasia didn't stick around Alessia and her husband for too long as she needed to get back to work. She simply gave a gift for the baby, and then took off.

Anastasia was quite generous this time, however, she was willing to prepare a more expensive gift for the baby.

Because she was the baby's godmother, it was necessary for her to prepare a gift for the child.

Anastasia hailed a cab to go back to the office. On the way, she couldn't help but call her mother.

She wanted to clear up some fuzzy images that were floating around in her head.

Salma, who was comforting Cynthia, immediately picked up the call when she saw it was from Anastasia.

Salma asked with concern, "Ana, it's your first day back at work, how's it going?"

"Mom, I'm good," Anastasia replied cautiously, "I just accompanied a colleague to the hospital for her delivery, and now I'm on my way back to the office. As a token of gratitude, she asked me to be the baby's godmother."

Salma chuckled, "That's a good thing, getting along with coworkers helps you."

"Uh-huh." Anastasia held her phone and looked out the car window, "Mom, when my colleague went into the delivery room, I suddenly remembered something."

This startled Salma on the other end of the phone.

Salma's face changed instantly, and she asked anxiously, "What did you remember?"

Salma's question made Anastasia even more uneasy.

"Mom, did I have a serious illness before? I remember being pushed into the operation room, and I was holding your hand."

Salma casually replied, "Yes, you were ill, you had an appendectomy a few years back. You were so scared of the pain, you held my hand and cried just like when you were a child."

Anastasia was skeptical, "Was it an appendectomy?"

"Yes," Salma confirmed, "Monica was with us too, don't you remember? Ana, are you under a lot of stress at work, why are you having all these crazy thoughts?"
