The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 205

Anastasia could comfort others, but she couldn't solve her own worries. As she left, she played with the child in Alessia's arms, but looking at the child's appearance, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart. She couldn't explain why she felt so sad.

Anastasia took a taxi home, and shortly after arriving, Katelyn came over with delicious food.

"Anastasia, this is freshly stewed porcini mushroom soup. Eat it while it's hot. I also brought these ingredients for you, and when Herman comes back, I'll have him cook for you."

"Thank you, Katelyn." Anastasia was filled with gratitude in her heart. "You're so kind to me."

"Of course." Katelyn smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat."

Looking at Katelyn and thinking about Dana, Anastasia felt that she was really much happier than Alessia. Although Katelyn was only Herman's aunt, she treated Anastasia very well. Even if Katelyn were Herman's biological mother, there would certainly be no conflicts between Anastasia and her. Katelyn was kind-hearted and treated Anastasia like her own daughter, and Anastasia could feel it.

Anastasia ate the soup while glancing at her phone. Apart from the previous message, Salma hadn't sent any more messages. This was very unusual. Anastasia was discharged from the hospital, so why hadn't Salma reacted at all?

"Katelyn, have you noticed anything unusual about Salma when you've been with her recently?"

Katelyn thought for a moment and said, "I have noticed that Salma seems to have something on her mind lately. A few days ago, I saw Salma arguing with a woman at the entrance of the neighborhood. I asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything. Anastasia, if you have time, go and ask her."

Anastasia felt uneasy in her heart. She looked at the time, it was already five in the afternoon. "Katelyn, I'll go see Salma later."

Katelyn said, "Okay, why don't I go with you? I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."

"Okay," Anastasia smiled. "That way, I'll have company."

Anastasia quickly finished the soup and left with Katelyn. The driver from home was waiting in the car, and Anastasia couldn't help but marvel at Katelyn's financial strength. She had seen this car online before, and it was worth a fortune. She couldn't even imagine it.

The driver took them to Salma's neighborhood, and Anastasia and Katelyn went upstairs together. Just as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a man being pushed out of Salma's apartment by her.

Salma was using a broom to drive him away. "Get lost! If you dare to come again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Salma, calm down. Let's talk." The man had a good attitude, dressed neatly, and clearly wasn't an ordinary person.

Anastasia suddenly asked, "Was that person my father?"

Even though it was their first meeting, even though they hadn't spoken, just from a single glance, Anastasia knew that the man was her father, who had been missing for over twenty years.

Salma looked at Anastasia in astonishment, tears rolling down her face, and Katelyn was also shocked. Salma wiped her tears and said, "Ana, that's not your father. You don't have a father, ok?"

Anastasia felt surprised. Salma had previously told her not to blame her father because he had his own difficulties. But now, Salma was emotionally driving that person away and even denying his identity. Anastasia felt conflicted. It was her first time meeting her father, and she didn't expect it to happen under such circumstances.

"I'm no longer a child." Anastasia took a deep breath and said, "You've been troubled lately, is it because of his return? Did he come back for something important? It made you so angry. Tell me, let's solve it together."

Salma didn't know how to respond, she simply wiped away her tears silently.

Anastasia walked to Salma's side, holding her hand, and said, "Mom, a person who disappeared for over twenty years has come back. There must be something important. Is this matter related to me?"
