The Bound Between Us

Chapter 253

The more Ashley thought about it, the angrier she got; her face even twisted in rage.

Tavon said, “Look, we just need to trick her into going to Willowbrook. No matter what she asks for, we can always back out later.”

“I think that little girl is even tougher than Salma; she’s not gonna be easy to deal with.” Ashley blurted out anxiously, “If we keep dragging our feet, Sandy’s condition will only get worse.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ashley’s phone rang. It was the hospital in Willowbrook, “Sandy’s condition has worsened. We need to find a suitable bone marrow for a transplant ASAP, or I’m afraid it’ll be too late. The doctor asked, “When will the suitable person you mentioned come to the hospital for matching?”

The doctor’s words cut Ashley like a knife, she said, “You have to save my daughter. Just give me a few more days; I’ll bring someone for Sandy’s matching soon.”

“Well, you have to hurry.” The doctor warned, “Given Sandy’s condition, I’m afraid she wouldn’t make it past three months.”

“Alright, we’ll hurry.” Ashley’s eyes were red with urgency.

Tavon, listening on the side, was also quite anxious, worrying his heart out.

After hanging up the phone, Ashley cast a fierce glance in the direction Anastasia had left and said to Tavon, “You have three days. If you can’t handle it, I’ll drag her to Willowbrook myself. Anastasia has to donate bone marrow for my daughter.”

“I’ll do my best.” Tavon was also flustered. Anastasia’s attitude was giving him a hard time.

“She has to. If you can’t make it happen, I’ll do it my way.” Ashley gritted her teeth, her eyes fierce, “If she doesn’t want to save my daughter, she can’t blame me for not being nice.”

With that, Ashley got in her car. She felt that coming to see Anastasia personally was already giving her enough face. Anastasia’s demands were just too much.

When Anastasia got home, she didn’t tell Salma about Tavon seeking her out. She went to the kitchen to cook as usual, while Salma and Katelyn chatted in the living room, and Pattie played with her toys. Everything was harmonious. Soon, Anastasia had prepared the meal and called everyone to eat.

Katelyn praised, “Ana’s cooking skills are amazing; she can do it all. Herman is a lucky man.”

Salma laughed, “It’s a blessing that Ana could marry Herman. He’s hardworking, caring, and responsible.”

Both sides started to compliment each other.

Anastasia tended to Pattie’s meal and said, “Don’t just talk. The food’s getting cold.”

Katelyn laughed, “Right, let’s eat. Ana, you should eat more too.”

Katelyn used to urge the two of them to have a child, but since finding out that Herman could not have children, she stopped.

After dinner, Katelyn stayed for a while before being called away by a friend to play bridge. That was her only hobby.

Salma wanted to take a nap after lunch and went to lie down in her room. Anastasia also took Pattie for a nap. Just as Anastasia was about to fall asleep, she heard Salma’s phone ring. Then, she faintly heard Salma whispering on the phone. Out of curiosity, Anastasia went to the door and eavesdropped

for a while. Sure enough, as she had expected, the phone call was Tavon persuading Salma to go to Willowbrook. And from Salma’s tone, it seemed that she was somewhat wavering, her heart softening. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

She heard Salma say, “I need to discuss with Ana and see what she thinks.”

Anastasia returned to her room without interrupting Salma’s phone call. She wouldn’t allow Tavon to deceive her mother again as long as she was around. Tavon already had a family and could not provide her mother an official status. Should she let her mother become his mistress? Given these circumstances, Anastasia would never allow Salma to make the wrong decision.

When she woke up from her nap, it was already past four in the afternoon. Salma had attempted to start a conversation several times but stopped. Anastasia knew what her mother wanted to say, but she simply didn’t want to engage in the conversation.

“Mom, I’m going to take Pattie down to the neighborhood to play for a while.” Anastasia decided to take Pattie and step out for a bit.

Before she could reach the door, Anastasia received a call from the police station.
