RankNovelChapter 445
Anastasia had unknowingly eaten the drugged soup, and Katie, stuck in her plan, had no choice but to serve the
bird's nest soup as well. Both dishes were laced with abortifacients, a double dose of trouble. The drugs wouldn't
kick in right away. After serving the bird's nest soup, Katie forced a smile and said, "Miss, we're running low on
fruit at home. I'm heading out to get some."
Anastasia, not noticing anything strange about Katie's behavior, nodded. "Sure, go ahead, Katie. And don't
overwork yourself. After you're done, take a break."
"Alright, alright," Katie replied, guilt gnawing at her. She couldn't bear to stay any longer or look Anastasia in the
eyes. She quickly changed her clothes in the maid's room and left.
Once outside Southridge Estates, Katie immediately called Granny Anita. "The drugs have been administered. |
watched Miss eat them myself. Granny, about the money..."
On the other end, Granny Anita couldn't hide her glee. "Don't worry, the cash is ready for you."

Granny Anita didn't dare to make a bank transfer, fearing it might be traced back to her, which would make
facing her great-grandson impossible. She preferred keeping things quiet rather than causing a scene.
Anastasia's pregnancy was already unstable, so if a miscarriage happened, they could easily explain it away.
After updating Granny Anita, Katie glanced back at Southridge Estates. She didn't dare return immediately and
decided to go grocery shopping to kill time.
Anastasia had a good appetite that day. She ate a hearty portion of chicken and chestnuts and finished the bird's
nest soup.
Feeling drowsy after lunch, Anastasia yawned and went upstairs to rest. Salma, feeling energetic, stayed
downstairs in the living room, chatting with her old friends over the phone.
Anastasia soon fell asleep, not knowing why she felt exceptionally tired. In her sleep, she had a nightmare.
She woke up less than half an hour later, her heart racing and a strange sense of panic washing over her.
Clutching her chest, she took deep breaths, trying to calm herself. As she shifted her position, she noticed a
bright red stain on the sheets.
The sight made her face go pale with fright. She quickly pulled back the covers, revealing a significant amount of
blood, just like in her nightmare. A sharp pain gripped her abdomen, as if a giant claw was tearing her insides
apart. The pain was so intense it made her cry out for Salma. "Mom, Mom, call the doctor..."
Anastasia's voice was filled with panic. She didn't dare move, watching as her blood soaked the sheets. She
trembled, her limbs icy cold. She felt utterly helpless and terrified.
Salma heard her cries and rushed upstairs. Seeing the blood-soaked sheets, she was momentarily stunned. She
quickly went to Anastasia's side and said, "What happened, Ana? Don't worry, I'll call an ambulance."
Salma was scared out of her wits. When she called the hospital, her words were jumbled, and she was in a
frenzy. Anastasia was only five months pregnant, far from her due date.
The sudden heavy bleeding made Anastasia choke back her tears. "Mom, will | lose my baby? Mom, my stomach
hurts so much."
Pain shot through her abdomen and waist. Anastasia was in agony, her palms sweaty and her face twisted in

Salma was frantic. "Ana, don't panic. I'm here. The doctor will be here soon. Your baby will be fine, don't be
afraid. Wait here, I'll find the driver to take you to the hospital."
Fearing the ambulance wouldn't arrive in time, Salma went downstairs to find the driver. She searched the entire
house but couldn't find him. He had driven Pattie to school earlier, but she hadn't seen him since.
Just as Salma's anxiety was peaking, the doorbell rang. Thinking it was the ambulance, she rushed to the door,
only to find Gianna.
"Gianna, you drove here, right? Quickly, helptake Ana to the hospital," Salma pleaded, clinging to her as if
she were a lifeline.
Seeing the panic on Salma's face, Gianna asked, "Auntie, what happened? Is Anastasia okay?"
"Ana is bleeding heavily. Quickly, cupstairs with me. We need to get her to the hospital. The ambulance is
taking too long. Any further delay could put both Ana and the baby in serious danger," Salma hurriedly pulled
Gianna upstairs to help.
