In Chapter 292 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 292 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.
Herman had a hunch that Anastasia was in trouble. He couldn't reach her and had a bad feeling in his gut. He immediately told his driver to head back to Harmony Meadows and made a call to Dailey, "Track down Anastasia. I need to know where she is now."
Flynn, sitting in the back seat, was stunned. Herman had even reached out to Dailey. He wanted to say things weren't that urgent, but seeing Herman's grim face, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Who was Dailey? He was Herman's top-notch bodyguard for eight years, currently on a year-long break. To Herman, Dailey was like the king's right-hand man. Herman rarely called on him, but when he did, it meant something big was up.
Dailey's voice came from the other end of the line, "Give me ten minutes." In ten minutes, he would find Anastasia.
As he was on the phone, Herman had reached the entrance of Harmony Meadows.
He got out of the car, went to the security booth, and tapped on the window. The security guard, who was snoozing, woke up with a start. Seeing Herman, he got the shivers. Herman standing before the window was like the lord of the underworld.
"Mr. Salstrom, you're back." The guard greeted him enthusiastically.
Herman asked, "Has my wife been back?"
The guard, who was familiar with half of the residents, immediately answered, "Yes, just an hour ago. She even waved to me."
Hearing this, Herman's brow furrowed even more. Katelyn had said Anastasia hadn't returned, but the guard said she had. This meant Anastasia had entered the community but hadn't gone home. Did she disappear over here?
...
Anastasia was whisked away to Riverdale's old district. The houses here were run-down, nothing like the ones in the downtown. The majority of the residents were down on their luck, and the place was chaotic. Those even poorer were living under bridges.
