Chapter 211
Anastasia started to dwell on past confusions, suddenly feeling anxious. In a rush, she asked, “You’re
saying Salma is looking for a child from four years ago? What the heck does that mean? What else did
she say?”
“You’re Salma’s daughter and you don’t know about this?” Rose replied, “Not long ago, I bumped into
Salma. She was asking about a kid who was sent to Rainbow Haven four years ago, said she was
helping a friend look for them. The friend lost a child four years ago, left it at the doorstep of an
orphanage. I checked when I got home. In those months, no girls were taken in by the orphanage.”
Anastasia knew all about Salma’s friends and relatives. No one among Salma’s friends had a child four
years ago.
Salma was getting on in years, and her friends were all in their forties or fifties; no way were they still
having babies. Salma was lying.
Anastasia thought back to that dream and the strange things Cason had said before, She remembered

and numb all over.
The child lost four years ago, could it have been… her own?
Anastasia’s head throbbed with pain. She couldn’t remember the lost memories, no matter how hard
she tried, it was all a blank. Anastasia forced herself to calm down, asking, “What else did Salma say
about the child? When was the child lost?”
Rose said, “Salma said the kid was lost in the winter four years ago. But Rainbow Haven didn’t have
the child, the orphanage has been demolished now, andall the kids were moved to other orphanages or
adopted.”
“Thanks, I’ll pass on your words to Salma.” Anastasia tried to calm herself.
Rose said, “Alright, you tell Salma, I won’t come again. I’m emigrating next week to live with my kids.”
“Okay, best of luck.”
After seeing Rose off, Anastasia sat alone on the sofa, pondering over recent events. Cason’s words
terrified her.
She grabbed her keys and left in a hurry, forgoing packing clothes for Salma, and hailed a cab to
another women’s and children’s hospital.
Anastasia was anxious; she desperately wanted to know if the child abandoned at the orphanage was
hers. She had forgotten whether she had ever given birth.
Anastasia reached the hospital and signed up for a gynecological examination, wanting to confirm if
she had ever had a child.
An hour later, when all the checks were done, Herman called to ask if she had packed Salma’s clothes
and if he should come to pick her

Anastasia made an excuse to brush him off, she was waiting for the doctor to call her number, and she
needed to take her examination form to the doctor. While waiting, Anastasia was so nervous she bit her
nails, even when she bit one off she didn’t notice.
Suddenly, the system showed it was her turn, Anastasia took her examination form, and anxiously
walked into the doctor’s office.

“Hello.” Anastasia sat down.
The doctor said, “Let me see your examination results.”
Anastasia handed over the examination report, the doctor looked at it for a while, then asked, “Your
health is excellent, no problems at all. The scar on your waist is new, and you should get that treated.”
Anastasia asked nervously, “Doctor, have I ever given birth?”
The doctor was puzzled by Anastasia’s question, not understanding how Anastasia herself wouldn’t
know if she had given birth. The doctor looked at Anastasia doubtfully and asked, “Are you married?”
Anastasia nodded, “Yes, I’m married.”
The doctor laughed and asked, “Shouldn’t you know if you’ve had a child?”
Anastasia also thought her question was a bit odd. “Doctor, can you tell from these examination reports
if I’ve given birth?”
The doctor adjusted his glasses, put down the report and said, “According to these reports, you indeed
have given birth, and it seems you may not have fully recovered back then. Are you asking if you can
still have children, or if there’s any impact?”
