Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Although Anastasia remained calm and rational, she didn’t feel optimistic. She sat in the passengerseat in Elliot’s car as they drove toward the company immediately. Anastasia was so anxious that tears brimmed in her eyes. She held onto May’s phone, hoping that herfather would have good news for her soon. “Your son looks very smart, so he will be fine.” While comforting her, Elliot weaved past the other carsdeftly, and the black car rushed all the way to the Bourgeois Building When the car came to the entrance, Anastasia pushed open the front passenger’s door and hurriedtoward the steps, but because she was in a hurry, she tripped and fell. Upon hitting her left leg on thesharp corner of the steps, she felt pain shooting through her leg and it hurt so badly she couldn’t standup for a while. At this moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her up. Elliot wanted to check herinjury, but she limped away from him and continued to run up the steps. Then, Anastasia knocked on the entrance door anxiously. The security guard on duty inside recognizedher and hurriedly opened the door for her, but he was even more surprised that Elliot was right behindher. After that, Anastasia walked all the way to the elevator. As she pressed the elevator button, she wastrembling nervously while blood oozed from her knee.
Elliot glanced coldly at her. When the elevator arrived, Anastasia rushed in, and he also steppedforward with long legs. “Jared will be fine. Jared will be fine. Although he is young, he is very smart… No, my son will not be introuble.” Anastasia was about to lose her mind and her body was about to collapse; she couldn’t helpbut murmur to herself as if trying to comfort herself. In the depths of Elliot’s eyes, there was a hint of distress that he himself didn’t even realize. Soon, theelevator stopped at the design department floor. Then, Anastasia rushed out and went straight to heroffice. She dialed her own number with May’s phone and heard her phone ringing from the corner of
the sofa. After digging into the sofa, Anastasia took out her phone with trembling hands. As she opened it up,she noticed 16 missed calls. Except for her father’s contact, there was an unknown number who had called multiple times. She held her breath and hurriedly called thenumber back. Soon, the other end answered. “Hello?” “Hello, did a child call this number with your phone?” “Yes, are you the mother of the child?” “I am. Is my son by your side?”. “Yes, I had him wait for you in my store. Don’t worry, he’s fine and I’ll watch over him.” The female voiceon the other end sounded very young but kind. The boulder weighing down on Anastasia’s chest was finally lifted, and at this moment, her son’stender voice came to her ear. “I’m fine, Mommy. Don’t worry.” “Jared… My baby…” Anastasia’s emotions were in turmoil at this moment, and her tears slipped downher cheeks. “My baby! Thank God! I’m going to pick you up right now.” “Don’t cry, Mommy. I’m fine.” The little boy comforted her from the other end. The girl answered the phone again and said, “Miss, I’ll send you the location of our store. Please comeover quickly!” “Okay, thank you! I’ll come right over.” Anastasia hung up the phone. All of a sudden, she felt dizzy.Now that her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, blood rushed to her head and caused a bout of dizziness. She instinctively reached out and grabbed something nearby. What she happened to grab was a man’sarm, and she held on to it tightly to prevent herself from falling. The next second, another arm wound itself around her waist, and her whole body was pulled toward afirm chest. However, she didn’t struggle because she needed to rely on him urgently and waited for thedizziness to subside. novelbin
