Caught red-handed talking behind their backs.

As Lauren quickly turned around, there stood Herman and Victor at the door. Her mood instantly plummeted. The two people she’d just been badmouthing had heard every word.

If it was just Victor who heard, Lauren wouldn’t mind so much. But the problem was that Herman had heard too. He was her former crush.

Lauren quietly turned back around, covering her face, too embarrassed to look at anyone.

Anastasia also felt the awkwardness of the situation, looking at Lauren’s “I wish I could disappear” reaction, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Lauren, could you go buy some fruit for me?” Understanding Lauren’s embarrassment, Anastasia gave her an excuse to leave.

Lauren immediately caught on. “I’m on it.”

Covering her face, she lowered her head and squeezed between Victor and Herman. “Excuse me!”

After Lauren left, Victor came in with some health supplements.

“Anastasia, are you feeling better? I feel pretty bad about what happened to you. I bought you some supplements. Take them when you

can.”

All the things that Victor bought were expensive; he had spent a fortune.

“Mr. Victor, you’re too kind,” Anastasia quickly replied. “I’m the one who should feel embarrassed. I’ve been lying here for over a month, holding up a lot of work.”

“Work is not important. Victor glanced at Herman’s expression and quickly said, “Just focus on recovering, don’t rush back to work. Don’t worry, you’ll still get your salary. As long as you get better, everything else can wait.”

The more he said this, the more embarrassed Anastasia felt.

Herman sat next to Anastasia and said, “See, I told you to focus on recovering. Victor and I go way back. With you in this state, it’s already generous of me not to blame him. Would he dare deduct your salary?”

Victor quickly responded, “Of course not He wouldn’t dare. Herman still paid his salary.

Anastasia looked suspiciously at the two of them, feeling that Victor was somewhat deferential in front of Herman, not like they were old acquaintances.

Could it be because Herman was from headquarters, so Victor was so respectful?

Victor was very tactful. He didn’t stay long in the ward and left, not daring to disturb Herman and Anastasia’s alone time. Now that he confirmed Anastasia was Herman’s wife, Victor was quite excited.

His future was tied to Anastasia, so he had nothing to worry about if he could get along well with her.

In the following days, Anastasia stayed in the hospital to recover. Herman would go out for a few hours during the day to deal with company matters and would come back to the hospital to accompany Anastasia in the evening. As for social engagements, Herman declined them all.

Everyone in their circle knew that Mrs. Salstrom was in trouble, and Mr. Salstrom had to go back to accompany Mrs. Salstrom every night.

During the day, Katelyn, Salma, Monica, and Lauren often visited the hospital, so Anastasia didn’t feel bored.

She stayed in the hospital for two full months before she was finally discharged. As soon as the doctor said she could be discharged, Anastasia urged Herman to quickly handle the discharge procedures. She couldn’t wait to go home.

“Okay, I’ll handle the discharge procedures. You wait for me here.” Herman instructed, smiling as he turned around and left. Anastasia went to the bathroom to change into her own clothes, packed her personal belongings, and prepared to be discharged. As she was packing her things, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

“You’re really lucky.”

Anastasia immediately turned around, surprised to see Selena standing behind her. “How come you’re here?*

“I was just passing by and thought I’d come to see you,” Selena said in her sarcastic voice. “I was implicated because of you and detained for over a month. Anastasia, how do you think we should settle this?”

Anastasia calmly replied, “If you were really innocent, the police wouldn’t have detained you for so long. Your appearance in the parking lot that day was no accident, and your hatred for me is even deeper than Hailey’s.”

Anastasia firmly believed, that given the opportunity, Selena would definitely do the same thing as Hailey.

Selena clenched her teeth and sneered, “Anastasia, how long do you think you can fly high? You’re just the secret lover of the CEO of Elysian Technologies. Guess what will happen if his wife finds out about

you?”

“A secret lover?” Anastasia looked confused.
