In Chapter 359 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 359 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 was in trouble, so Herman didn’t have time to argue with Julie. He had to rush to the hospital.
Grandma Anita grabbed Herman’s hand. “Herman, where are you going? Julie is still here.”
Herman replied, “Grandma, Anastasia is in the hospital. I have to go there immediately.”
“She was fine when she was playing cards with me in the morning. She even made me angry. How did she suddenly end up in the hospital? I think she’s faking it.” Grandma Anita was very skeptical. “She’s doing this on purpose. That woman is very cunning. Herman, you mustn’t be fooled.”
“Grandma, if you don’t like someone, everything they do is wrong in your eyes. Anastasia is in trouble, and I must go to her.” Herman pulled his hand away, walked out without saying another word.
“Herman!” Grandma Anita was so angry that she stomped her foot, but she still could not stop Herman from leaving.
Julie watched Herman’s retreating figure. The feeling of resentment was springing up in her heart.
“They’ll pay for today’s humiliation,” she thought, “both Herman and Anastasia.”
“Julie, don’t be mad. I’ll talk to him when we get home. This is unacceptable.” Grandma Anita was also furious. She was certain that Anastasia was feigning illness. What a coincidence? She suddenly fell ill.
Julie forced a smile. “Grandma, I’m fine. Maybe Herman and I are just not meant to be. I’m going to go home.” There was a hint of melancholy in Julie’s voice, which made one feel sympathetic.
“You’re such a good girl.” Grandma Anita comforted her, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure everything’s okay. It’s rare to find a girl as kind-hearted as you nowadays. Julie, when dealing with men, you need to be a little cunning. Look at that Anastasia. She faked an illness and managed to get Herman to leave. That’s being smart. Herman is a tough guy on the outside but soft on the inside. He’ll appreciate your kindness.”
Julie listened attentively and thanked her, “Thank you, Grandma.”
“Go home and rest. I’ll go to the hospital now and see what that woman is up to. Whether she’s really ill or just pretending.”
Grandma Anita was convinced that Anastasia was faking it and couldn’t wait to expose her.
