In Chapter 110 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 110 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Anastasia's sudden voice gave Monica and Salma a start, leaving them flustered and at a loss for words.
Seeing their panicked expressions, Anastasia asked, "Are you guys keeping something from me? I heard you guys talking about Cason just now. What does Cason know? Has something been found out?"
Salma was at a loss for words, but Monica thought fast and said, "Uh, I was talking about how Cason's bankruptcy is now known to everyone, even his old classmates."
It was a strained answer.
Looking at the two, Anastasia noticed both Salma and Monica were acting sketchy with shifty eyes.
"I heard you say that Cason knows something about me. What is it?" Anastasia asked.
Monica stumbled over her words.
"I want the truth," Anastasia said, feeling uneasy, "What are you hiding from me?"
She then remembered her recent medical check-up and how Monica had acted similarly secretive then.
Salma tried to deflect, "Why would we keep anything from you? There's still food in the pot, go check on it."
Anastasia looked at Monica again, and Monica smiled reassuringly. "Really, there's nothing. Just like I said."
Seeing the two still not giving straight answers, Anastasia became even more suspicious.
"Does it have to do with my lost memory?" Anastasia persisted, "If you won't tell me, I'll ask Cason."
At this, both Monica and Salma became even more flustered.
"Don't you dare," Salma said sternly, "Cason's a jerk. What would you want with him? We told you, there's nothing. What else do you want to know? There's still food in the pot. Ana, go check on it. Monica, you're staying for dinner tonight."
Salma rarely spoke this harshly.
Anastasia frowned, realizing something was up, but decided not to push further, not wanting to upset her mother.
She knew Monica was tight-lipped and wouldn't spill easily.
As for Cason, she didn't trust him. Even if there was something to tell, it wouldn't be right coming from him.
