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 217 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.
In the evening, Herman didn't actually crash in Monica's bedroom. It was his upbringing and habit.
He was also worried about Anastasia being alone here. So, he chose to hit the sack on the couch. If there was even a peep from Anastasia's bedroom, he'd hear it.
Monica bunked in the spare room, restless, worried Anastasia might spill some secrets in her sleep. She wasn't sure if Herman got wind of anything.
Not many people knew about Anastasia's secrets. Cason was behind bars, and Salma would surely button her lip. So, the chance of Herman knowing anything was slim.
However, Monica remembered that Cason was locked up after he learned about Anastasia's secret. The only one capable of pulling that off, was Herman. If Cason made a move in desperation, would he spill the beans?
Monica felt like she was getting a bad case of the jitters. She had a hunch that Herman might know something, but then again, it seemed impossible. If he truly knew something, how could he keep his cool?
...
When Anastasia woke up, it was already daybreak.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Herman walking in with a takeout bag. She quickly realized this wasn't her bedroom and was taken aback. She soon remembered that she had gotten wasted with Monica and passed out. She was at the Franco's.
"Herman, what are you doing here?" Knowing how she could make a fool of herself when drunk, she asked nervously, "When did you get here?"
"Last night." Herman replied, "I called you and Monica said you were here. I was worried, so I came over. I ordered some takeout for you, eat up and get some energy back."
Seeing Herman's kindness, Anastasia felt even more guilty. She was such a mess. How could she be good enough for Herman?
Insecurity was creeping up on Anastasia, but she didn't show it.
Anastasia held the bag and ate the food, asking, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"No rush." Herman could tell Anastasia had something on her mind and said, "Later you'll go visit your mother in the hospital, I'll drop you off, then head to work."
