In the days that followed, Anastasia stayed in the hospital for treatment. She took her meds, went through the tests—everything the doctors ordered—without any complaints.
Herman found her compliance both heartbreaking and worrisome.
After the initial shock of learning that Grannie Anita was responsible for the loss of their baby, Anastasia managed to keep her emotions in check. She had a meltdown at first, but then she pulled herself together.
Herman could sense how desperately Anastasia wanted to get better. She was itching to get out of the hospital.
He had a pretty good idea of what she wanted to do once she got out, but he felt powerless to stop her. He didn’t have the right.
After the miscarriage, Anastasia’s close friends—Lauren, Alessia, and Christine—visited her at the hospital.
She was in a bad place, mostly silent. Not even Pattie’s presence could cheer her up.
Everyone mourned the loss of the baby deeply.
Tavon rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard the news. His voice echoed down the hallway before he even reached the room. “Anastasia, don’t be too upset. You can have another baby. Just take care of yourself…”
Salma intercepted him before he could step inside.
“Don’t disturb Ana’s rest,” Salma warned him. “She’s not in a good mood. Don’t bring up the baby and upset her more.”
“How’s Ana doing? Is she any better?” Tavon asked, worried. “I’m her father, I have to care for her. Where’s my son-in-law? Where is he?”
“Are you here to see your daughter or to find your wealthy son-in-law?” Salma shot back, her face stern.
“Of course, I’m here for my daughter,” Tavon clarified quickly. As long as Anastasia was okay, his connection to the Salstrom family was secure.
“It’s alright that the baby’s gone. Just take care of yourself, and everything will be fine with your husband. You’ll have other children,” Tavon tried to reassure her, without even asking why Anastasia had miscarried in the first place.
