Chapter 73
Cason was clutching his phone, his eyes full of rage
His bright future had been runed by Anastasia and Herman He swore he wouldnât let them off easy
Demi, who came to deliver food, felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Casonâs gloomy face
Ever since the Kirkwood family drama, Casonâs mood had taken a dark turn.
Taking a deep breath, Demi entered the room. âCason, you gotta eat somethingâ
Cason put down his phone and asked, âHowâs my dad doing?â
âCanât see him right now, but Iâll find a wayâ Demi assured him. Im his lawyer now. Iâll do my best to get him out on bailâ
Truth was, with the Salstrom familyâs influence and his fatherâs grave charges, getting bail was next to impossible. But saying this was just Demiâs way of calming Casons nerves.
Cason, gripping his phone, said firmly, âIâll make Herman fetch my dad personally
Demi didnât argue, even though she thought it was a long shot
Anastasia and Herman arrived at the hospital Herman didnât go in with her but made up an excuse to wait in the car
Alessia had been working for Elysian Technologies for ten years, first at the headquarters then at a branch Herman was worried Alessia might recognize him and blow his cover
With gifts for the baby Anastasia entered the hospital. Alessia and her newborn were in the room, while Alessias mother-in-law, Dana, was cuddling the baby and refusing to let go
Anastasia knocked lightly on the door. Alessia turned to see her and immediately smiled. âAnastasia, you cameâ
âHey, Alessia Anastasia walked in smiling. Just got off work, bought some clothes and toys for the baby Hawâre you doing? Feeling better?
Alessia pointed her husband Evan to the gifts and said, âA bit sore, canât really move around much.â
Alessia had a natural birth, but she was a real scaredy cat when it came to pain. She was too afraid to move or walk
âYouâll be up and about after a few days of rest,â Anastasia glanced at the baby who suddenly started crying
Alessia, the new mom, panicked, âWhatâs wrong with the baby?â
Alessiaâs mother-in-law Dana said. The babyâs probably hungry. You donât have any breast milk, and the little formula you fed isnât enough. Formula doesnt have all the nutrients. You should start breastfeeding as soon as possible, itâs best for the babyâ
Anastasia looked at them arguing and felt a little awkward. Although it might not be appropriate, she was relieved that she didnât have to deal with these mother in law issues.
Alessia, noticing Anastasia, said awkwardly. âIâm sorry you had to see this.â
No worries, Alessia. I understand. You get some rest. Iâll come visit another time.â
Understanding that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Anastasia didnât stay any longer
Upon leaving the hospital, she noticed Herman waiting for her in the parking lot.
As Anastasia walked up, she noticed Herman was on a call. From a distance, she vaguely heard something like âMom, weâll be home soon.â
