In Chapter 68 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 68 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 face suddenly turned pale, her feet softened, and she sat down on the chair beside her.
"Kid, my kid..."
Anastasia mumbled to herself, at a loss as to why she had that kind of memory.
What was this familiar feeling in her noggin?
Was it her own memory, or a scene she'd seen somewhere before?
Anastasia was bewildered, fear engulfing her. Before she knew it, a tear slid down her cheek.
"What's up with you? You didn't get a fright, did you?" Alessia's husband came over and asked with a two-handed prayer gesture, "Thanks so much for your help, hope you didn't get a scare?"
Anastasia seemed a little spaced out, "I'm fine."
She brushed away the tear at the corner of her eye, then realized that Alessia had been whisked away to the delivery room.
"Thank you so much," Alessia's husband said, all politeness, "You saved both my wife and child."
"No, no, you're too kind. I didn't do much, just made a phone call."
Just then, a doctor walked over, "Alessia's family needs to go pay."
"I'll go." Alessia's husband told Anastasia, "Could you keep an eye on things here while I go pay?"
Anastasia nodded awkwardly. And like that, she ended up helping out at the hospital.
Lauren called her, "Anastasia, where have you gone off to? Why haven't you come back? Selena's upset, she's looking for you."
Anastasia hurriedly replied, "A coworker from the sales department gave birth, I'm at the hospital. I'll be back soon, could you cover for me?"
"Hurry up then," Lauren exaggerated, "Selena's like an iceberg and I'm freezing here."
Anastasia chuckled, "Alright, I'll be back soon."
After about an hour of hustle and bustle, Alessia gave birth to a healthy baby boy who was a bit early.
Alessia was in good spirits and was wheeled back to her room with her child.
