In Chapter 310 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 310 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 and Salma returned to their hotel room. Salma remained silent, feeling a sense of shame when faced with her daughter.
"Mom, you barely ate anything at The Regal Palate. Do you want something to eat? You can rest after you've had something." Anastasia suggested, "You could go and freshen up first."
Salma's leg injury had healed, and she could ditch the crutches. This brought comfort to Anastasia.
Hesitantly, Salma spoke up, "Ana, I'm sorry. Your dad and I shouldn't have lied to you. I wasn't really sick."
"Yeah, I know." Anastasia responded lightly, "Mom, just eat and rest. Don't think about anything else. We'll go back to Riverdale when you're ready." For Anastasia, there was no rush. As long as she could help her mother work through this, nothing else mattered.
Anastasia's reaction only made Salma feel more ashamed. Clenching her fists, she said, "It's my fault. I let your dad fool me again. They really crossed the line. I thought your dad had changed, that he genuinely accepted you. I didn't realize they were still after you."
"Mom, don't blame yourself. You couldn't see his true colors twenty years ago. These people have become more cunning over the years. It's normal that you were fooled." Anastasia shrugged it off.
"Ana, I can't accept this." Salma couldn't bear it anymore. Who could stand being lied to over and over again? Emotions could change quickly. One minute she was deeply in love, and the next, she might be repulsed.
Taken aback, Anastasia asked, "So, Mom, what do you want to do?" She thought her mother would be devastated. After such a blow, she expected her mother to be in low spirits, sad and upset. Instead, Salma seemed to have found her fighting spirit.
Hesitant, Salma asked, "Ana, about taking one-third of the Morton family's fortune, can you make that happen?"
