The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 223

When Anastasia said this, Salma felt very uneasy inside.

"Your dad wouldn't do that." Salma said, "You're his daughter. He's already said that he's got a house for you in Willowbrook. He's giving you shares in his company and wants you to come help manage the biz. He wants to train you up."

To make Anastasia believe, Salma showed her the shares transfer document she had hidden under her pillow.

Looking at her mother, Anastasia only felt pain in her heart but she knew she couldn't be angry. Her mother was already old, yet she was still being fooled by Tavon.

So what if Tavon gave her a house? She didn't pay for it. The house Tavon gifted could be taken back on a whim. And the shares transfer document seemed like a blank check, which Tavon could also reclaim at any time. It was just some meaningless sweetener.

Anastasia retorted, "Mom, do you want me to go back to my dad?"

Salma hesitated for a moment and said, "Tavon is your father, that's a fact that can't be changed. If he sincerely repents and accepts you, then my years of suffering would have been worth it."

Anastasia understood. Her mother had never forgotten Tavon and still held illusions about him. After more than twenty years of persistence, how could her mother easily let go?

"Mom, you rest first. We can watch and see if Tavon really repents for a while." Anastasia said.

Anastasia didn't believe Tavon would repent. This was just his performance. She didn't want to say too much. She didn't want to make her mother sad.

Anastasia's lack of reaction puzzled Salma, but she didn't say anything more.

After Salma finished her meal, Anastasia cleared the table and wiped Salma's hands. After all this was done, Anastasia poured water for Salma. Seeing Anastasia busy, Salma felt that she seemed to have something on her mind and asked, "Ana, is there something you want to say?"

Salma knew her daughter well.

Anastasia had been looking for an opportunity to ask her mother about the child. Hearing her mother ask proactively, Anastasia sat down, looked at her mother, and nervously wrung her hands, "Mom, there's something I want to ask you. I was going to wait until you were discharged."

When Anastasia spoke, Salma was already in tears, wiping her tears and saying, "Ana, I'm sorry, I owe you an apology."

Anastasia held Salma's hand tightly, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face, "Mom, I don't blame you, I just want to find my daughter now. Tell me, where did you put her? The head of Rainbow Haven came to me, she said there's no record of this child, so where did my daughter go?"

Salma finally fully understood how Anastasia knew about this. Anastasia didn't regain her memory, it was Rose who inadvertently let it slip.

Salma wiped her tears guiltily, "Ana, I also don't know. I left the baby at the door of the orphanage back then. But when I asked the headmaster, they hadn't taken in any girls at that time. I don't know where the child is now."

Salma's words left Anastasia in despair. The last clue was gone.

Salma said, "Your daughter might have been found and taken away by someone passing by. It was dark, the door of the orphanage was closed. Maybe someone passing by took her. The baby was beautiful and healthy. If she met kind people, they would surely take good care of her."

Her daughter was taken away by someone passing by. There were so many people in the world, how could she find her daughter?
