The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 

Monica was about to sit down when Anastasia’s words made her hesitate. She looked at Anastasia, sat down nervously, and asked, “Anastasia, what’s up with you today?” 

Anastasia smirked, “Let’s eat first. The food is getting cold.” 

Monica looked at Anastasia and forced herself to eat a few bites and take a couple sips of wine. 

Anastasia poured the wine for Monica, saying, “Monica, I’m really grateful for your help all these years. It’s a blessing to have a friend like you. Cheers to our friendship.” 

“Anastasia…” Monica seemed a bit nervous. 

Anastasia raised her glass, clinked with Monica and chugged her wine. She drank a bit too quickly and started coughing. Monica frowned, seeming to realize something, and finished her wine as well. 

Anastasia put the empty glass on the table, staring at it in silence, “I went to the hospital today.” 

Concerned, Monica asked, “For a checkup? Didn’t you just get discharged? Anastasia, are you feeling unwell?” 

Anastasia looked up at Monica and shook her head, “I switched hospitals and had a gynecological examination. I discovered something. Monica, can you guess what I found out?” 

Monica understood immediately when she heard this, but Anastasia didn’t reveal the truth directly. So Monica pretended not to know, “Why did you suddenly decide to have a gynecological examination?” 

Anastasia looked at Monica, who was feigning ignorance, feeling a chill as the wind blew through the night street. It seemed to penetrate into her heart. 

“The doctor told me that I have had a child.” Anastasia’s straightforward words shocked Monica. 

“Anastasia…” Monica said. 

“Monica.” Anastasia cut her off, “You’re my good friend. You must know the memory that I lost. You and Salma have kept the secret very well. I didn’t even know about such a big thing as having a child. If I said this out loud, no one would believe it.” 

Anastasia’s words carried a hint of self-mockery. The doctor had also looked at her strangely at the time. How could a woman not know if she had given birth? Did she really need someone else to tell her? 

Monica-looked at Anastasia, feeling both distressed and worried. She explained, “Anastasia, we kept this from you for your own good.” 

“I never doubted that.” Anastasia said seriously, “Although I’ve been living in a daze these years, I know I’m happy. Monica, I understand your intentions, but now that I know I’ve had a child, you can’t keep it from me anymore. Where is my daughter? Who is the father? Can you tell me?” 

Anastasia hesitated, “How did I get pregnant, why did I give birth and what really happened back then. Is that why I dropped out and got depressed?”
