The Bound Between Us

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,

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.”

“Ok, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll go get you some clothes and toiletries. You just rest here.” Anastasia looked at Salma’s injured leg and the scratches on her face, and said with worry, “Don’t worry about anything else.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

When Herman came back after handling the paperwork, Anastasia asked him to stay with Salma while she went home to get some clothes. Salma needed someone to be with her, and since Herman wouldn’t know what Salma needed or where to find it, it was best for Anastasia to stay.

Anastasia took a cab back to their apartment, and when she stepped out of the building’s elevator, she saw a middle–aged woman knocking on the door.

Anastasia walked over and asked, “Hello, who are you looking for?”

The woman looked at Anastasia and said, “I’m looking for the people who live here, do you know where they are?”

“Who are you?” Anastasia asked.

The woman replied, “My name is Rose. I used to be the director of Rainbow Haven, but I’ve since retired. Salma asked me to come over today, but no one is answering the door.”

Once Anastasia confirmed that she was looking for Salma, she said, “Salma is in the hospital right now, she got hit by a scooter this morning. Mrs. Rose, if you have something to discuss with Salma, you can tell me. I’m her daughter, Anastasia.”

As she was speaking, Anastasia also opened the door and said, “Please come in and sit down.”

“Okay.” Rose entered the house and subconsciously glanced around the room. She said, “I talked to Salma on the phone earlier, and she asked me to help her find a child. I came here today for that matter.”

Anastasia remembered that Salma had mentioned Cynthia asking her for help in adopting a child from an orphanage, thinking that this must be the matter Rose was referring to. “Salma is currently in the hospital, so the adoption process might have to be put on hold.” “Adopting a child?” Rose asked in surprise. “Salma didn’t mention anything about adopting a child. She just asked me to help find a child, a child who was adopted from an orphanage four years ago. I checked, and I couldn’t find anyone that Salma was looking for.” Hearing this, Anastasia was taken aback. Could it be that Salma wasn’t trying to adopt a child? Why was she specifically looking for a child from four years ago?
