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?”

Anastasia wasn’t sure whether to believe her mother, because there were so many things she couldn’t

remember. When she was depressed, the doctor said her brain was stimulated, which may cause

selective amnesia.

Sometimes she felt that she remembered everything, but often felt that she had forgotten something.

When Anastasia thought of Alessia going into the delivery room and the newly born baby, her heart

began to ache and she felt very uncomfortable. Her mood also became very bad, somewhat out of

control.

“Mom, I want to ask, Anastasia clutched her chest, barely able to speak, “Did I ever have a child?”

It took all the courage she had to ask this question.

Because she couldn’t believe it herself, she had no memory of it and she never had more than a

friendly relationship with Cason, how could she possibly have a child?

But she just couldn’t understand why she would ask such a question,

This question scared both her and Salma.

“Anastasia, stop imagining things, you’ve just got married, of course you don’t have a child.” Salma

tried to remain calm, “Have you been watching too many TV dramas lately, or did something upset you,

don’t scare me, is it your husband’s family pressuring you to have a baby?”

Anastasia also thought this was too incredible, was it really because she had been pressured to have a

child lately that she was feeling stressed?

Herman asked her in the morning whether she preferred a boy or a girl, and she personally witnessed

Alessia giving birth, maybe she was really under too much mental pressure and confused reality with

TV dramas.

If she really had a child, she would never forget such a big event.

And where would the child be?

Anastasia rubbed her temples and said, “Mom, I was just joking with you, I’m at the office now, I gotta

hang up.”

Anastasia figured things out, but Salma was scared out of her wits, she was worried that Anastasia had

really remembered that event, so she hurriedly called Monica

If Anastasia asked about it, they should say she had an appendectomy before, they shouldn’t slip up.

Salma realized she might not be able to keep this secret from Anastasia for long, but for now, she had

no choice but to keep it from her.
