In Chapter 185 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 185 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 felt like she'd been dreaming for ages. She was bone-tired, like she'd fallen into a bottomless pit of total darkness. She could hear a voice weeping out of the endless void. It was Herman, sobbing. Why was he crying? Was she...dead?
Anastasia wanted to respond, but she just couldn't get the words out. Just then, the life monitor hooked up to her started blaring. Doctors rushed in from all corners of the hospital. Anastasia's condition was deteriorating.
The doctors asked Herman to leave the ICU. They needed to perform immediate life-saving procedures. Watching the flurry of medical staff, Herman felt his heart in his throat. The wait was excruciatingly long, and each second felt like an eternity.
Herman's eyes were bloodshot and dull, his hands were clenched into fists, and his gaze was fixed on the ICU door. Salma sat nearby, wiping away tears, her eyes puffy from crying.
Herman had no idea how much time had passed when the doctors finally emerged to announce, "The patient is out of immediate danger." He felt drained.
Anastasia was stable, for now. But when she would wake up was still a mystery.
Monica and LaurenMill rushed over when they heard about Anastasia's accident. They couldn't believe how badly Anastasia was hurt when they saw her lying in the hospital bed.
Christine had been trying to get a hold of Anastasia, but when she couldn't, she reached out to Victor and found out about the accident. Christine felt horribly guilty and immediately went to the hospital.
Anastasia remained unconscious. Herman hadn't left the hospital, and he looked like hell. His face was scruffy, his eyes red and surrounded by dark circles. He took care of Anastasia himself, without hiring a nurse, and left Elysian Technologies in Flynn's hands. At this point, only Anastasia's condition could elicit any reaction from him.
Herman was on edge every day, worried that Anastasia would sleep forever. Any small change in the monitor could shatter his fragile nerves.
