In Chapter 361 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 361 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’s joyous smile was a sight Herman couldn’t bear to tarnish with the harshness of reality.
Herman sat down beside the bed. His hand was resting gently on Anastasia’s belly. The thought of a tiny life growing inside her softened his heart.
Neither of them had ever anticipated such a surprise.
Anastasia even considered about IVF, never expecting that their child was already growing inside her. She held Herman’s hand. Her voice was soft. “Why do you look unhappy? What’s wrong?” She’d noticed the change in Herman’s mood.
“N-no, I’m happy.” Herman managed to squeeze out a smile. “You’re going to be a mom.”
Anastasia glanced at his face. Her voice was even softer. “Don’t lie to me. You’re worried about something. Did the doctor say my body isn’t suitable for carrying a baby? Did he give you a choice, to keep the baby or...?”
Anastasia knew her own body well. Today’s signs of a potential miscarriage only heightened the difficulty of a safe pregnancy.
Suddenly, Herman pulled Anastasia into a tight hug. His voice was hoarse. “Anastasia, whether we have a child or not doesn’t matter. All I want is you.”
He had made his decision.
Anastasia couldn’t blame him for his decision. She knew it must have been a painful one, a struggle for him. She wrapped her arms around Herman’s waist. Her voice was tender. “Honey, our baby chose us to be his parents. Let’s not give up on him. Let’s try our best to ensure he’s born safely. I’ll follow the doctor’s orders. I’ll do everything to keep this baby. Let’s not give up on him just yet. Can we just try?”
The pleading in her voice was unmistakable. She was begging him to hold onto their child.
