In Chapter 48 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 48 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 stood there, speechless, while Joey was clearly freaked out.
His secret, hidden for so many years, was now discovered by Anastasia. If Gianna found out, he would be in deep shit.
Joey quickly ushered the woman to the car and she grumbled as she asked, "Who is she? You look like you've seen a ghost. What's there to be afraid of?"
Joey tried to explain calmly, "She's Gianna's cousin."
Upon hearing this, the woman found it amusing, "So she's your wife's cousin. No big deal if they find out. I'm not planning to keep the secret forever. I'm pregnant now, I can't hide it."
Anastasia, after hearing this and looking at the woman again, found her familiar. Then she remembered, wasn't this woman a nurse who worked with Joey in the same hospital?
Anastasia had seen her a couple of times when she went to Joey's hospital with her mother, Salma, who was sick. She vaguely remembered her.
Joey didn't actually work at Hope Hospital. He brought the woman here for her prenatal checkup because he didn't want anyone to know.
"Go back to the car, I'll talk to her," Joey insisted, sending the woman off first.
The woman reluctantly left with a roll of her eyes.
Awkwardly, Joey asked Anastasia, "Anastasia, are you here for a check-up? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm here for a check-up."
Joey didn’t mention the woman, and Anastasia didn’t pick up the conversation.
Joey got a bit nervous, hesitantly said, "Anastasia, about what just happened, don’t tell Gianna. You know her temper, she'll blow up if she finds out."
The woman was named Dora. She used to work with Joey in the same hospital and was his assistant.
Their relationship developed and they ended up together.
Monica sneered, "She's pregnant with the second child and you still want your wife to be peaceful at home?"
