In Chapter 186 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 186 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.
"Karma's a bitch, you know," Collin said. "The punk who messed with Anastasia's brakes is still rotting in jail."
Julie surprisingly responded, "Anastasia sure is a tough cookie, surviving such a horrific crash."
Collin frowned. "Maybe you should stay away, in case you blurt out something that pisses everyone off."
He could sense Julie's animosity towards Anastasia. Julie wasn't sincerely visiting Anastasia; she probably just wanted to see how badly injured Anastasia was.
"Alright, I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm just here to look," Julie said. "I'm already at the door. I definitely have to go in."
Collin said, "Then don't say you're with me. I don't want to get chewed out by Herman."
......
Anastasia had been in a coma for a week now, Salma was falling apart. Katelyn took Salma to Harmony Meadows to live with her, taking care of her around the clock. She also had to worry about Herman not holding up in the hospital, having the house servants prepare delicious meals for him every day.
Herman had lost his appetite, often leaving his meals untouched. Monica saw how Herman was sticking with Anastasia through thick and thin, which gave her peace of mind for whatever would happen in the future.
Lauren was stunned when she first visited Anastasia in the hospital and saw that the man beside Anastasia was the one she had been crushing on. She was in a daze for a while.
Anastasia's husband turned out to be the CEO of Elysian Technologies. If it weren't for Flynn pulling Lauren aside to explain, she would have thought Anastasia had been lying to her all along. Knowing the Salstrom family was keeping this from Anastasia, Lauren had to play dumb at this critical time.
A few days later, Lauren remembered something. Early in the morning, she rushed to the hospital and pulled Flynn outside.
"The hunk Anastasia said she would introduce to me was you, wasn't it? You knew it was me and purposely said you had a girlfriend, right?" Lauren was slow to react. It took her several days to realize this.
