Chapter 397 Don’t Forget What You’ve Promised Me
Anna knew that Nancy must be up to something. Suddenly, she remembered that Nancy had
previously asked her to go on a blind date for her. But Anna had been too preupied recently and
had forgotten about it
Nancy asked, hy are you leaving so early? I’m off work as well, so let’s go out for a drin
Anna smiled hesitantly and said, “I’ll be leaving soon, Dr. Moore. My two daughters are still at home,
and I need to go back home to cook dinner for them.”
“That’s fantastic! I’ve heard that you’re good at cooking, so let’s meet for a drink at your house instead.”
Anna was unprepared to host guests in her home. As a result, she waved her hand and said, “Actually,
that’s a bad idea. My house is too messy to entertain guests. Once | clean it up, I’ll invite everyone to
my house.”
“That’s okay! I’m not busy right now. How about |e to your house and clean it up for you? The
hospital ces a high value on harmonious rtionships among coworkers.”
Anna couldn’t stop herself after they’d been talking nonsense for ten minutes. “Dr. Moore, | can’t really
help you with your blind date,” she said.
Nancy said with a smile, “You don’t have to call me that anymore, I told you. I’m only a few years older
than you; you can call me Nancy from now on.” 396 Don’t Forget What You’ve P.
Anna got goosebumps when she saw her smile.
Nancy said, “That VIP ward patient requires a professional doctor to be with him 24 hours a day. You
know that old gentleman, so you must be familiar with his habits. So, can you look after him?”
Anna blinked awkwardly. “Don’t worry, ‘ll definitely go on that blind date for you tomorrow,” she said
after a while.
Anna wasn’t ready to meet Peter yet, so she couldn’t take care of Peter every day. As a result, she had
no choice but to say yes to Nancy’s requirement.
After Anna agreed to this, Nancy let her go. Anna got a headache when she thought she had to go on a
blind date for Nancy tomorrow.
When she got home, she heard the two kids in the bedroom ying games. “Mom, Grandaunt Selina
called and asked us toe to her house for dinner tomorrow night,” Tammy said.
Anna sighed and replied, “I can’t go there with you, honey. have something to do. Why don’t you go
there with Isabe?”
Tammy nodded and then walked back into the room. Anna’s phone then rang. It was a memo event ert:
a prison visit.
After hesitating for a short while, Anna said to Isabe, “n changed. Don’t go to Selina’s ce,
Isabe. Tomorrow, I’ll take you somewhere.”
Hearing that, Isabe froze. Tammy, who had put down her switch, asked curiously, “Where are you
taking her, Mom? I’m going too!”
Isabe coughed awkwardly and said, “You’d better go to your grandaunt’s house. I’ll go there with
Anna.”
Upon seeing Isabe’s awkward expression, Anna was torn between emotions. That was the day they
could pay a visit to Isabe’s father, Mike, 396 Don’t Forget What You’ve P.
who was imprisoned. Anna was grateful to him because he was the one who had gotten them off the
ind five years ago when she was kidnapped.
Later at night, Tammy fell asleep quickly. Isabey on her bed with her pillow in her arms while Anna
sat in bed, reading.
Isabe said nothing and just stared at Anna. “Can’t you fall asleep?” Anna asked as she closed the
book.
| miss my mother,” Isabe said.
Anna looked at Isabe’s face and noticed how much she had changed from before. “Your mother
would be very happy if she knew you have grown into a beautiful girl now,” Anna stroked her head
while trying tofort her.
“What? Was that ugly?” Isabe asked, her gaze fixed on Anna.
“Yes, it’s true that you didn’t look good before.”
“Hey! You hurt my feelings.”
“So, you miss your mother, don’t you? Do you want to call me ‘mom’ because I’m kind of your mother?”
Isabe rolled her eyes, hugged Anna’s arm tightly and said, “No! You’re only a little older than me and
you’re nothing like my mother.”
“Yes, you’re right. I would not have had a daughter at your age. But did adopt a daughter your age.”
“You already have two kids!” Isabe was an expert at arguing with others. She said nothing else after
that.
Anna was aware of what she was thinking. She theny down and hugged Isabe tightly, saying
softly, “Yes, I have two kids. And I take you as my child as well. Mike, on the other hand, does not have
any children.
Remember the time when | asked if you wanted to see Mike and say 396 Don’t Forget What You’ve P.

goodbye before | left Birmingham? At that time, you were furious and said he wasn’t your father. You
were right. He’s not your father. You’re about to be an adult now. And I think you have the right to
know the truth. I’m so sorry that I didn’t tell you this earlier. I was pretty torn back then and | always
flinch the moment right before | was going to reveal the truth to you. Isabe, please don’t me me for
not telling you the truth all these years, okay?”
Isabe said, “Okay, | forgive you. Well, even if you had told me at the time, I would not have believed
you. I’d wanted to leave that shithole since Iwas a kid, and no one could stop me.”
“It was your uncle who didn’t let me tell you. He was the one who let me go, so | have no choice but to
agree to his request. Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow.”
The next morning, it rained lightly, cooling down the city. Anna waited for Isabe outside the suburban
jail after dropping her off. The prison’s visiting room had a lot of thick ss, and the phone was the only
thing connecting the inside to the outside. Isabe sat in a chair, her face tense. Her figure was
reflected on the dirty ss, She asked Anna to take her to remove the single braids from her head
before she arrived. And she looked refreshing in a simple white T-shirt and denim skirt. Isabe waited
a while before seeing the guards bring Mike out. He had lost so much weight that she almost didn’t
recognize him. She paused at the doorway for a moment before bing less shocked. Then she sat
down slowly, looking at the man in his prime and trying not to cry. After that, she picked up the
microphone and gestured for Mike to speak to her.
Mike immediately asked, “What are you doing here? Is Anna treating 396 Don’t Forget What You’ve P.
you badly?” They hadn’t seen each other in years, but Mike’s first question was not how she was doing
but whether Anna truly cared for her.
“Anna is good to me; she’s like a sister to me.”
Mike had no expression on his face and simply said, “You should call her ‘mom’ from now on because
she adopted you. I’m
relieved if she truly treats you well.”
“This is my own business. Do you have anything to say to me after five years?” Isabe asked, her
gaze fixed on him. “What are you talking about?” Mike asked.
Isabe shuddered and tried not to cry. She asked, “When are you going to tell me that you are not my
father but my uncle? How long will you keep this from me?”
Hearing that, Mike looked up at Isabe and noticed how much she resembled her mother. He was in a
trance and believed he had seen his sisterin a sh.
“Anna told me that you are not my biological father. You took
us to the ind to protect my mother from bad people in our vige. You didn’t expect us to stay long,
so you introduced her = to others as your wife. But Dragon was drunk that night, and you weren’t on
the ind. So the ident urred.” Isabe’s voice was muffled by electrical noise, but every word
was audible. Mike was heartbroken as he listened to his niece say what had happened in the past.
At the same time, Anna had been waiting outside for Isabe.
She thought it was time for her toe out, so she started the car. Just as she was about to buckle up,
she noticed she got a new text message. It was from Nancy, and she said, “Don’t forget what you’ve
promised me.”
