In Chapter 305 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 305 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 dumbstruck. Being used by her own biological father, the feeling was beyond sad.
Flynn asked, "Anastasia, why did you have me investigate all this?"
Anastasia let out a self-mocking smile. "Do you know why Tavon tricked me into coming to Willowbrook?"
Intrigued, Flynn asked, "Why?"
Anastasia shrugged. "Sandy and I are half-sisters. There's a high chance we're a match."
"Holy cow," Flynn exclaimed. "Is this something a father would do? Now that you know, what are we still doing here? Let's pack up and head back to Riverdale."
"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen Tavon's true colors?" Anastasia said nonchalantly. "No worries, let's just play along with them. No matter what happens, I have your brother."
Flynn chuckled, "Anastasia, you're really thoughtful. Even if you stir up big trouble, my brother's got your back. I haven't had this much excitement in a long time, Anastasia, and I'm kind of excited now. It's a good thing we came, let's go for it. If you need any help, just say the word."
Flynn was a guy who loved adventure and meddling in others' business. "I used to always follow my brother around, no matter what mess I got myself into, my brother was there. He was always the one who got scolded when we got home."
Anastasia's comment was just a joke, but Flynn took it seriously. Anastasia said, "You'll stay in this room tonight."
"Anastasia, that's not appropriate," Flynn misunderstood. "If my brother finds out we're sharing a room, he'll beat me up."
"What on earth are you thinking?" Anastasia shot Flynn a glance. "I'm worried Tavon might try something tonight. You stay here, and I'll take the room next door."
Flynn, "Anastasia, you're so good to me." He was being used as bait.
Anastasia chuckled and patted Flynn's shoulder. "Of course."
Flynn laughed awkwardly. "Anastasia, I really appreciate it."
"You're welcome."
Flynn was left feeling a little psychologically scarred.
Anastasia. [Not yet, I'm still waiting for someone.]
Herman. [Flynn talked to me about some things. Take care of yourself and come to me if anything happens.]
Seeing Herman's message made Anastasia feel a lot better, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly. Tavon saw Anastasia smiling and tried to get closer by asking, "Anastasia, do you want anything else to eat? Shall we order some more dishes?"
"No need."
Anastasia didn't actually plan on eating the dishes because they were almost cold, and Ashley still hadn't arrived. Anastasia understood that this was intentional on Ashley's part. Anastasia thought it was quite amusing. She thought she could get me to save Sandy, and she still wanted to intimidate me? What was she thinking?
Just as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Ashley's voice came in, "Sorry we're late, there was traffic. Anastasia, you're not mad, are you? Sandy, Sean, come meet your sister, Anastasia."
Anastasia turned her head to look at the three people coming in. Ashley was apologizing, but her expression showed no remorse. Ashley was holding a girl who wasn't much younger than her, and looked about twenty. Her hair had been shaved off due to chemotherapy, and she was wearing a hat. Her face was pale, and she was so thin she was unrecognizable. This was Sandy. And the man standing next to Sandy, who looked a lot like Tavon, was Sean.
This was the first time Anastasia had seen Sandy, a girl who looked like she could die at any moment, a sight that stirred deep sympathy. Little did Anastasia know at the time, that this girl would become the biggest nightmare of her life.
