The Bound Between Us

Chapter 68

Anastasia’s face suddenly turned pale, her feet softened, and she sat down on the chair beside her.

“Kid, my kid..”

Anastasia mumbled to herself, at a loss as to why she had that kind of memory.

What was this familiar feeling in her noggin?

Was it her own memory, or a scene she’d seen somewhere before?

Anastasia was bewildered, fear engulfing her. Before she knew it, a tear slid down her cheek.

“What’s up with you? You didn’t get a fright, did you?” Alessia’s husband came over and asked with a two–handed prayer gesture, “Thanks so much for your help, hope you didn’t get a scare?”

Anastasia seemed a little spaced out, I’m fine.”

She brushed away the tear at the corner of her eye, then realized that Alessia had been whisked away to the delivery room.

“Thank you so much, Alessia’s husband said, all politeness. “You saved both my wife and child.”

“No, no, you’re too kind. I didn’t do much, just made a phone call”

Just then, a doctor walked over, “Alessia’s family needs to go pay.”

“Till go.” Alessia’s husband told Anastasia, “Could you keep an eye on things here while I go pay?”

Anastasia nodded awkwardly. And like that, she ended up helping out at the hospital.

Lauren called her, “Anastasia, where have you gone off to? Why haven’t you come back? Selena’s upset, she’s looking for you.”

Anastasia hurriedly replied, “A coworker from the sales department gave birth, I’m at the hospital. I’ll be back soon, could you cover for me?”

“Hurry up then,” Lauren exaggerated, “Selena’s like an iceberg and I’m freezing here.”

Anastasia chuckled, “Alright, I’ll be back soon.”

After about an hour of hustle and bustle, Alessia gave birth to a healthy baby boy who was a bit early.

Alessia was in good spirits and was wheeled back to her room with her child.

Anastasia followed them to the room. Seeing the tiny baby asleep on the little bed, her heart melted.

This was the first time she’d seen such a tiny newborn. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, a mixture of heartache and bitterness. For some reason, she felt like bursting into tears.

Alessia saw Anastasia’s work badge and smiled, “Anastasia? From the design department?”

Anastasia shifted her gaze from the baby, “Yes, from the Design Department. It’s my first day”

“Thank you for today. When my kid grows up a bit, I’ll have him make you his godmother. You saved his life”

Anastasia felt flattered, “Ms. Alessia, you’re too kind.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Alessia asked, “So, you don’t want to be his godmother?”

“No,” Anastasia actually loved kids. This baby is adorable. I’d be honored to be his godmother.”

Alessia smiled, “Then it’s settled”

“Okay, Ms. Alessia.”

Just call me Alessia We don’t need to be so formal, just call me Alessia.”

Anastasia laughed, “Okay, Alessia”

Alessia was warm and generous, and Anastasia didn’t refuse.

Alessia looked at the baby sleeping peacefully beside her, “This kid’s such a rusher, couldn’t wait a bit longer, had to be born early I’ve lost my shot at becoming the Sales Department head again.”

Although she was complaining, her tone and gaze were full of love for her child.

Alessia had been working at the company for ten years, finally had the chance to be promoted to head, but because of her child’s early birth, she might lose the opportunity to other competitors.

Alessia’s husband walked in, “As long as you and the baby are safe, that’s all that matters. If you’re tired, quit and come home. I’ll take care of you both.”

Anastasia found these words familiar. Herman had said something similar in the morning.

A husband providing for his family was seen as a matter of course and a source of pride for men

Alessia’s husband came from a well–off family, they didn’t need her paycheck. Alessia was a workaholic and an independent woman, so she’d kept working even during her pregnancy

She’d planned to take maternity leave next month, but the baby decided to come early
