The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 676

Salma was pretty worried about Pattie's future. After Monica dropped her off at Southridge Estates, she hung around for a bit before heading out.

Salma made her way upstairs to the kids' room and found Pattie sitting on the floor, totally absorbed in her drawing. It was a picture of a happy family of five—mom, dad, two little siblings, and Pattie right in the middle.

With a warm smile, Salma praised her, "Pattie, you're really talented! This looks fantastic."

Pattie put down her crayon and signed eagerly, "Grandma, I want to play with my brother and sister."

"Once they're out of the hospital, you can play with them all you want. They're just little and need a bit more care for now," Salma assured her, adding, "You're such a smart girl, Pattie."

Salma couldn't shake the guilt she felt about the tough times Pattie had been through, all because of a mistake she made years ago.

Just then, Liana came in, giving Salma a friendly nod, "Aunt Salma, I'm here for Pattie's lesson."

"Ms. Liana’s here," Salma said with a smile, "Go ahead and start Pattie's lesson."

Liana, showing concern, asked, "Aunt Salma, how's the lady of the house? Did she have the baby?"

"Yes, twins—a boy and a girl."

Liana beamed with joy, "Congratulations, Aunt Salma! You're a grandma again!"
