Chapter 304


    Chapter 304


    Tavon was a bit surprised but didn’t think too much about it. After telling Salma to get some rest, he


    arranged a room for Anastasia and then took off.


    Once Tavon was gone, Salma held Anastasia’s hand and said earnestly, “Ana, no matter what he does,


    he’s still your dad. You always call him Tavon. That’s not quite right. You guys are father and daughter,


    and I hope you can get along.”


    Anastasia sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of helplessness. Her mother’s obsession with love was


    troubling. On one hand, Anastasia didn’t want Salma to see Tavon’s true colors, on the other, she was


    worried about Salma getting hurt. She wished Tavon had never shown up, then she and her mother


    could live peacefully.


    Changing the subject, Anastasia asked, “Mom, do you want some fruit? I can peel it for you.”


    Salma nodded, understanding Anastasia’s intention. As she peeled an apple, Anastasia casually


    asked, “Mom, when do you n on going back? If you’re feeling well, you should head back to


    Riverdale. You’ve been living there a long tim. You should be able to adjust.”


    Without directly exposing Salma’s fake illness, Anastasia’s words still made one feel a bit uneasy.


    Salma, feeling a bit nervous, said, “I’ll stay a few more days. Since you’re in Willowbrook, you can look


    around. Speaking of which, does Herman know you’re here?”


    “Uh-huh, he knows.” Anastasia replied, not ready to reveal to her mother Herman’s true identity.


    Salma was currently smitten with Tavon and could easily spill the beans. Anastasia might not be in the


    business world, but she knew some things were better left unsaid. If Tavon found out Herman was the


    head of Elysian Technologies, he might get some ideas, and that would be a problem.


    Salma, oblivious to Anastasia’s concerns, cautiously said, “Ana, your dad was really happy you came


    to Willowbrook. He even prepared a wee ceremony for you. When you meet Sandy and Sean


    tonight, don’t get into a fight with them, and no matter what Ashley says, don’t take it to heart…”


    “Mom, what’s your real intention for wanting me to fit into the Morton family?” Anastasia interrupted


    Salma. “If it’s to help you reim what’s rightfully yours, I won’t hesitate to do it. But if it’s just to please


    Tavon and them, I can’t guarantee I won’t do something they won’t like.”


    Salma was taken aback, looking at Anastasia with her mouth agape, unable to find the words to say. “I


    never wanted to fight with Ashley for anything.” Salma said. “I just want you to get along with your dad


    and be epted by the Morton family.”


    Anastasia understood. Her mother had aplex about not being epted by the Morton family over


    twenty years ago, and now she was pinning those hopes on her. Anastasia hugged Salma tightly.


    “Alright, I promise.”


    Anastasia didn’t want to me her mother for her foolishness and confusion; she was just full of pity.


    After spending some time with Salma, Anastasia went back to her own room with her luggage. She


    organized her stuff and checked the room for anything suspicious. She didn’t trust Tavon.


    Flynn returned home before the wee banquet and gave Anastasia the news. “I’ve checked, the


    Morton family lives quite far from here, in thepletely opposite direction, about fifty kilometers


    away.”


    As Flynn sipped his water, he continued, “I also asked about Sandy’s condition. Her leukemia is very


    serious. They haven’t found a suitable bone marrow donor, so her life could be at risk at any moment.”


    “Tavon was lying after all.” Anastasia’s heart went cold despite already knowing the truth. Tavon had


    previously lied to her, saying Sandy’s condition was stable and didn’t need her bone marrow, which


    was clearly a lie.

    Flynn said, “I also found something else.”


    “Well, spit it out, Anastasia urged.


    “Tavon’s son Sean is actually a bone marrow match for Sandy. They could undergo a transnt. But


    Tavon and his wife might not be able to bear it. After all, sacrificing their son’s health for their daughter


    is a tough decision.”


    Anastasia felt like her heart was being torn apart. Tavon couldn’t bear to sacrifice his own son, but he


    was willing to let her make the sacrifice?
