Chapter 56

Although Anastasia remained calm and rational, she didn't feeloptimistic. She sat in the passenger seat in Elliot's car as they drovetoward the company immediately.

Anastasia was so anxious that tears brimmed in her eyes. She held ontoMay's phone, hoping that her father would have good news for hersoon.

“Your son looks very smart, so he will be fine.” While comforting her,Elliot weaved past the other cars deftly, and the black car rushed all theway to the Bourgeois Building

When the car came to the entrance, Anastasia pushed open the frontpassenger's door and hurried toward the steps, but because she was ina hurry, she tripped and fell. Upon hitting her left leg on the sharpcorner of the steps, she felt pain shooting through her leg and it hurt sobadly she couldn't stand up for a while.

At this moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and lifted herup. Elliot wanted to check her injury, but she limped away from him andcontinued to run up the steps.

Then, Anastasia knocked on the entrance door anxiously. The securityguard on duty inside recognized her and hurriedly opened the door forher, but he was even more surprised that Elliot was right behind her.After that, Anastasia walked all the way to the elevator. As she pressedthe elevator button, she was trembling nervously while blood oozedfrom her knee.

Elliot glanced coldly at her. When the elevator arrived, Anastasia rushedin, and he also stepped forward with long legs.

“Jared will be fine. Jared will be fine. Although he is young, he is verysmart... No, my son will not be in trouble.” Anastasia was about to loseher mind and her body was about to collapse; she couldn't help butmurmur to herself as if trying to comfort herself.

In the depths of Elliot's eyes, there was a hint of distress that he himselfdidn't even realize. Soon, the elevator stopped at the designdepartment floor. Then, Anastasia rushed out and went straight to heroffice. She dialed her own number with May's phone and heard herphone ringing from the corner of the sofa.

After digging into the sofa, Anastasia took out her phone withtrembling 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 herbreath and hurriedly called the number 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'llwatch over him.” The female voice on the other end sounded veryyoung but kind.

The boulder weighing down on Anastasia’s chest was finally lifted, andat this moment, her son's tender voice came to her ear.

“I'm fine, Mommy. Don't worry.”

“Jared... My baby...” Anastasia’s emotions were in turmoil at thismoment, and her tears slipped down her 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 theother end.

The girl answered the phone again and said, “Miss, I'll send you thelocation of our store. Please come over 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 suddenlyrelaxed, blood rushed to her head and caused a bout of dizziness.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed something nearby. What shehappened to grab was a man’s arm, and she held on to it tightly toprevent herself from falling.

The next second, another arm wound itself around her waist, and herwhole body was pulled toward a firm chest. However, she didn'tstruggle because she needed to rely on him urgently and waited for thedizziness to subside.

As he lowered his head, Elliot looked at the woman who was breathingheavily in his arms. Her face was pale with a rare look of weakness. Itwas very different from her usual look, and at this moment, she lookedlike she badly needed someone to protect

her.
