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 ss, 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 ss 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 prate 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 exined, “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?”


    “Yes.” Monica held her wine ss tightly, there was no way she could keep it from Anastasia now,


    “Back then, after you gave birth, Salma took the baby away. You fell into a deep depression and didn’t


    even recognize me and Salma.”


    “Cason was telling the truth, I was dating two guys at the same time.” Anastasia asked, “Who is the


    father?”


    “No, you weren’t dating two guys at the same time.” Monica said, “When Salma was hospitalized, you


    took a part-time job to earn money, and that’s when it happened! As for the guy, I don’t know, you never


    told us.”


    Anastasia tried hard to remember, but she couldn’t. She muttered to herself, “Even you don’t know who


    it is.”


    “Anastasia, it’s been so many years, let it go. You and Herman are very happy now, there’s no need to


    add to your troubles with this.”


    Monica said.
